  1. Yeah, wish I had more information on the provenance. It came out of my step mothers fathers collection. He was a tank operator in WWII, and had from what I understand pretty tough POW experience. Post war started a business in Texas and did pretty well for himself. Had a hell of a gun collection. Never met him myself, he had passed before things got real. But an early childhood memory was the distribution of his gun collection among his heirs some years after his death. Just room after room filled with guns with tags on them. A few that imprinted were tommy guns, serious colts, and the 1911s. I ended up with a couple of them in various later pass down giftings. Some of the frankly lower tier stuff in the grand scheme of the collection, but some of my most cherished firearms. I have the old beater shot through 1100s from my dads father. And a stack of vintage playboy mags from my moms father. God bless that man I never met and whose firearms his unknown great and great great grand children will hopefully also cherish.
  2. So the sub 4 10Y window seems to have passed. Is there any evidence that we ran any aspect of the refinance play during that window?
  3. Not sure how it was originally acquired. Just know that it has been on one safe or the other since at least mid to late 1980s.
  4. 1911 prons. 1944 Remington Rand serial number. Rebuilt some time 1980-90s?. Need to try to get more details on that.
  5. To add, my most optimistic and perhaps unreality based take is that Bessent is doing UK pound things with the target this time on China and we are all in a better place with a sufficiently long time horizon. Or maybe one step closer to the aircraft carrier backstop, which would suck.
  6. I am loaded to the upside, so clearly biased, but I think that this is wound to spring in the short term with anything approximating good news. See the movement from this morning. I could see a good jump this week or next. Or it could melt down completely. I think that we are higher than current either way as we come of the summer, and that is where my chips are. @Wally Fairway is the market mover, so I am willing to contribute to the Wallyfund if he will take up some ultra leveraged put positions. In the meantime, I'll just be donkeying along and shooting dice.
  7. I only have long calls (july and sept), but in short term a straddle seems like you could pick up both sides of this volatility. And I think that we are only in for huge volality in the near team. See like 930 am.
  8. What dates and strikes are you looking for?
  9. Were down like 2%, went out to water the garden, came back and SP was green, went to kitchen to get a coffee, back down 0.5%.
  10. Three. Reasonably good genetics. Their 529s looks like shit right now though.
  11. Time horizon is 10-15 years. Worst case scenario is 20.
  12. I don't have nearly enough dry powder as I would like. But I am buying all the way down this shit. And will start converting physical metals soon. My backstop is 5.56 and real estate with garden plots.
  13. I was told that they had major demographic crisis brewing.
  14. It seems really stupid for the knees, esp for younger kids they throw at it without any real training on form.
  15. Triple jump may be the worst thing that a kid can do to their body. Other than apparently telling a kid to leave your school tent and getting stupid when they want to pick a fight.
  16. All insurance with exception of life is more risk on. Lawn has more weeds and I have more DIY chemicals in the garage. Cut out Emerald Lawns when they sold out to private equity. Still eating out too much, but opening the freezer a bit more to work through the game stock. Actually thinking about what I am buying at the grocery store. Me and the boys also piss in the backyard instead of the bathroom to save on the flushes.
  17. The absolute worst. Soccer has well defined time commitments. Travel is a bitch though.
  18. Yesterday and today and maybe monday too.
  19. Bought some well out of the money Sept SPY calls into this close. Should go into the stonk thread since SPY is a stonk now.
