  1. It’s a good day. Despite all the other shit that can and does go wrong.
  2. Go to Rio de Janeiro and walk outside after dark. Or Manila. Or Joburg. You’ll see scary. New Haven was a lot of what we used to call drag worms and unsafe. But not gangs of minors who might kill you for your shoes or shirt.
  3. 17 percent but I live in Cali so I’m a commie bastard anyway.
  4. Well I was there for roughly 15 hours, drove in from JFK, and flew out from Logan. It was by far the worst place in between. Your mileage may vary.
  5. It is nice. Speaking of shit holes. New Haven. Went on a visit to Yale when my daughter was checking out schools and noped the fuck out of there. Providence was ok but also a little rough around the edges, but New Haven was legit scary except the campus.
  6. A lot of shitty places on that list. Mine: Monte Carlo Buzios Punta del Este La Jolla Monterey Peninsula Vancouver Island Aspen Bariloche Innsbruck. Probably a few more but nothing in Texas, sorry.
  7. Fair enough, but I bought heavily last summer and have been enjoying the twenty cents per share dividend monthly. My basis is around 20 per share so I am pretty happy with it. Certainly not for everyone…
  8. By the way none of that belongs in stonks.
  9. You said it. Good fund for sideways or bear market. V likely to lag badly in any bull market. My preference has been a combination of PDI (nice cash flow yield) and tax advantaged funds from Blackrock and PIMCO. My money market pays almost as much as CDs do and it’s completely liquid, so I keep about a year of funds in there. I think the main fear with PDI is ROC but they are very well managed with a long track record. A 12 percent yield is hard to find anywhere else.
  10. One depressing book. Worth reading for insight into the modern Russian soldier. Horrible stuff.
  11. Russian or Ukrainian cam girls? On or off topic?
  12. It’s funny because Elron is supposed to be a tech savant and the fucking dog guys from Ukraine hacked him. But not funny because he’ll probably cancel star link to teach them a lesson.
  13. In line at the DMV for registration?
  14. All eggcitement aside, this OPEC play is pretty predictable. They’re betting on the timing for China to start increasing demand to drive prices with a six or nine month cushion. Plus, the US SPR is not in a position to release and cushion prices. Looks like inflation is still on the menu boss.
  15. Bump. Just heard from friends in Travis Country they are selling and moving to Vermont. Out of my friend group about half has left Texas at this point. Wild.
  16. In this thread, a bunch of people telling is why the top ten places people move are shitholes. San Jose is pretty lame but well situated. Easy access to almost anywhere, decent weather, close to the coast and mountains. But the town is boring. All the other cities on that list make total sense. And I wouldn’t live in any of them today but I can see why a lot of people would. Especially young people with the means to live there.
  17. They’re not supposed to, but they do anyway. They’ll find a way to use transportation impacts to slow it anyway but should make for entertainment.
  18. How many school shootings since Dunblane in the UK? It can be done. It just won’t be.
