When i've tried to trade this stock got burned.
Too volatile over the short-term but optimistic about the next 5 years.

Comparison is the thief of joy. If you start early it makes a huge difference.
Compounding interest is the real deal

Plan to retire at 59.
Assuming 3.5 withdrawal rate from portfolio. Yes, it’s conservative.
Home will be paid off. No debts.
Then based on my portfolio assets, wife pension, and later collect social security that is the lifestyle I will lead.
I have always lived below my means. I’ve never been one to buy expensive things just because I can afford it. Most people do make purchases to impress other people. But the truth is no one cares what you are doing.

If you say something enough it’s gotta be true or at least in your mind.

Yes but some companies charge a processing fee so be mindful so then don’t use card.
Yeah, it should be a down day tomorrow. If you own it hang on to it. It’ll be painful for a bit.

I’m definitely going to making some purchases of SPCX after the employee hold period ends.

It always comes down to earnings. I believe that like the dot.com experience there are some AI companies who have gone up in value just based on possibility. Others have real earnings and future earnings look exceptional. Technology is evolving rapidly and I see and believe in the transformative applications in every aspect of our life. If AI is truly transformative stock values will follow suit. Hard to know what the long term winners will be because of the rapid development of AI. But I believe extraordinary gains to be had in selecting winners.
No doubt!
Investing isn’t for the weak. Especially when you’re just a small potatoes investor with large institutions playing with a juiced hand.

Feel about $200k smarter today!
Brutal the last couple weeks but had no plans to sell. Invest in what you believe.
Definitely feel some manipulation has been in play.

It's unpleasant. Negative sentiment. We've seen how many times this has been on/off. Then we're rolling again. Don't know when it'll turn but it will.
re: How much of a PITA is it to sell your vehicle privately?
Posted by kaaj24 on 7/25/26 at 5:53 am to ApisMellifera
You will make more money selling privately usually. But it’s also a huge time commitment to do so. I’ve sold my last 2 cars to CarMax. About 1 hour of my time.
Selling privately have to deal with calls/messages from people. Some wanting to work out a financing deal, etc. not worth it in my opinion.

Shooters shoot.
This stock is pretty volatile. Maybe something will drop in the next 9 days. When I expect it to go up it does the opposite.
Long term bullish thiugh

Fraud will always be present when greed and self enrichment is a carrot.
It’s not at the same scale as before Sarbanes Oxley. The threat of jail time can help get your morals in line.

Hopefully a strong earning season gets the mojo back.

No risk, no reward.
Shorts are good at finding weak points or items to build a narrative. I think data centers buildouts are planned and some don’t come to fruition. Don’t always think it’s a red flag. Have to look at them on a case by case basis. That guy seems more interested in the narrative for his likely short position
Don’t recommend any stock representing more than 10–15%
