    U-Haul car trailer experience?

    I actually drove my Barracuda to the UHaul place to pick up the van and trailer. They helped me load the car on. So we could vet the straps and tricks to get the car on. Drove that combo from Jacksonville Fl to Lufkin Tx. No problem. My family has used them for at least a dozen moves since the...

    Kudos to Canadian Tire

    Anytime we were within an hour of the Sault we’d sneak over to do our shopping. Always included a Canadian Tire visit. Can’t believe that was 20 years ago… I used my handmade paddle from there just this morning! Big Fans

    Getting fed up of high-perf , being happy with less

    I will say that I appreciate the folks that try all the fancy stuff that circle back to make recommendations or painful rants! Once in awhile something comes along that helps keep my driver class car driving w/ less effort, time, expense, or frequency of failure.

    I doubled down after it lost ~15% thinking I’d break even if it went up 8. Better yet it went back over my purchase spot by half a percent! I left AMD well on the plus side. This is fer fun remember. 22 shares all told. Folks give more away at casinos and lotto me thinks. Now what to play...

    NVDA Q1 results are due out on 5/22. I understand January ‘25 calls over $1000 were hot sells last month. their peers and vendors all reported strong results BUT shares were punished for forecasting some headwinds (China trade policy) META was punished for spending too much on AI. There may be...

    I think a lot of retail investors are looking for the exits. LLY reported well after hours but flatlined during trading, googl (A) did the same. If you were in you did well but you can’t expect a bull run after. Everyone in is profit taking and prices retreat. The analysts all say to not buy...

    Thinking of moving to Florida in the next year

    What do you and your family like to do for recreation in southern Oregon? What are you planning to replace that with in central Florida? Are your assets part of a home owners association now? What is your tolerance for such governance?

    Hard to know where to be just now. I moved some into a gold etf a few days ago and it is tracking pretty good this week. I lowered my exposure to equities and corporate bonds recently.

    Banks doing well on the housing news. Mega caps were flakey today. Bitcoin is off again and gold reacting predictably to the DXY. I'm having some luck with short and medium corp bond etfs just now too. Happy Hunting
