I'm racking my brains over this. I'm 39. Tempted to put all future 403b/401k contributions for my wife and I into money market/cash starting this week with the anticipation of a hard recession similar to 2007-2009. I would not touch all current investments. Reassess 14-18 months out? Wise or foolish...
I really think Ghandi is xxxTimmyxxx who would show up in 2020-2022 threads constantly in panic mood if anything went awry. Dude was so short sighted…would freak over premarket activity at 7:30am. ...

Reminds of Western Alliance Bank (WAL) last March 2023 when Silicon Valley Bank started the chain reaction of bank collapses. WAL went from $75 to $8, and eventually rebounded back to $40-65 in a few months. I wonder if this plays out the same. ...

[quote]I know the answer here is to buy a Speed Queen with an agitator and smaller capacity, but even the reviews on those aren’t great lately.

[quote]It's only 1.2% red day. What are y'all going to do when we have a 4% red day?[/quote]Remember that poster xxxtimmyxx or something like that around 2020-2021? He would freak the frick out during premarket hours or if one of his stocks retraced back to the previous week's high. Truly, most indiv...
Why is there ever a need to go into a store? Everything can be done online. ...
Can anyone recommend a brand of glyphosate or any other herbicide I can readily buy to nuke my yard before laying sod. I'm expecting a couple pallets of empire zoysia sometime next week and wanted to prep my yard today and tomorrow. From previous threads, my understanding is that I can spray gly...
I think this allocation for anyone under 55 would bode well… 25% growth 20% S&P 20% mid-cap 20% small-cap 15% international Whatever funds your plan offers, break it down into those segments. I was on the fence with international, but they are highly undervalued right now. ...
I’ll give another vote to BJ’s Po’boys in Broussard. I think they have the best traditional fried shrimp po’boy in the region, and slightly better than Old Tyme even though it’s the same owners (different cooks/frying oil is what I chalk it up to). LT’s for crawfish. If you are in town F...

Just did a guys' night out upstairs at Clancy's 3 weeks ago. We had 17 guys in their late 30s. They had us at 2 big round tables in the first room to the left upstairs. Service was great for that size party, and food was excellent. The whole restaurant was popping that night. Brigtsen's is grea...
Looking for recommendations on where to purchase zoysia sod in the Lafayette area. My backyard needs a redo, and after reading some previous posts, seems like Palisades Zoysia is the turf to get for my home. 75% of the backyard is in full sun, with 25% in partial to full shade due to house layout. I...
I usually boil 2 batches. The first batch Louisiana powder with zatarains liquid boil. Second batch I add a bag of Swamp Dust and the crawfish come out perfect flavor and spice level, in my and everyone else’s opinion. ...
