| Forceful_Dragon 05/19/21 9:54:53 AM #344 | ExThaNemesis posted... Oh no, absolutely do what's best for you FD. My current position on ADA: -Bought some at 2.23 when it was hovering between 2.20 and 2.40. It had resistance any time it neared 2.05 -When it broke 2.05 I bought more at 2.01 From there it kept flirting with my new average price and staying juuuuust under my sell order. -Then during the big drop last night I bought more at 1.65 -And this morning I picked more up at 1.20 My average price is 1.702 now and it's already in striking distance with the recovery. (well it was around 1.60 when i started this message but now it's around 1.45) I'll probably sell at only 1.71 or 1.72 just to close the position and then I can comfortably re-enter with a single portion rather than quadruple. It is worth nothing that this isn't ALL of my Cardano, it's just my current trade-chain. Every time I realize a gain I sell only enough tokens to get half the gain in USD which means there is always a few tokens left over. So if i buy $100 worth and it goes up by 5% I sell just enough to get $102.50. So I have a stash of "free" cardano and doge and VET and any other crypto i've realized gains on. This was particularly useful with DOGE because i was accumulating free DOGE when it was trading at 5-8 cents and then it more than quadrupled in value. It feels like an overly cautious strategy at times, but it's been working well so far, and even with the previous 24 hours I was still able to pull my costs down to attainable places. I just need a couple to hit and I can breathe a major sigh of relief. --- |

| Forceful_Dragon 05/19/21 12:54:21 AM #311 | So I've been buying into various cryptos using 5% or less of my available stack, trying to only be in a few different ones at a time. But I've freaking doubled, tripled and quadrupled down on these repeated crashes and while my cost basis is significantly lower than if I'd just thrown everything in from the beginning but now everything I've earmarked for crypto is "in" and all i can do is wait passively. Granted I have confidence in all the tokens I'm currently invested in and they only have to partially recover for me to profit, but I'm effectively on the sidelines until that happens. It's not a great feeling. And if there is another significant drop I imagine I'll divert some other money to buy that dip too to keep pulling my basis and exit points lower and lower but I really don't want to do that. Prior to this I had already considered that 5% initial increments were too big and i was going to start transitioning to a 4 or 3% strategy (or lower) to avoid exactly this situation but I hadn't quite made the switch yet. Alternatively I could have picked my favorite 1 or 2 to average down rather than buying back into 4 or 5 different tokens multiple times. I could chase just those 1 or 2 further down and then wait longer on the others. It's a learning experience just an uncomfortable one. --- |

I've averaged down 4 times on VTHO in particular and every time it "recovers" from the newest drop it gets just UNDER where my target to profit has moved. As a result it's tying up several times more of my resources than I had originally put in. That said it's a fantastic time to buy either coin, i'm confident for a recovery in both. --- |

| Forceful_Dragon 05/16/21 7:04:14 PM #242 | It sounds like coinbase issues 1099-MISC. I think a 1099-B would be better but it sounds like crypto exchanges are not required to use that form at this point so coinbase uses 1099-MISC and it looks like binance will provide 1099-K. Edit: Bottom line, keep a good accounting of your costs so you can clearly distinguish what portion of what you received was actually profit. --- |

| Forceful_Dragon 05/13/21 10:07:11 AM #188 | Yeah my biggest takeaway has been to always hold enough back to double down or triple down when the price falls. If all you did was the initial investment it might take ages to get above your original price, but it can quickly recover above your new buy in price once you've averaged it down a couple times. If you invest your entire stack from the beginning all you can do is passively observe and hope for the best, but when you start with a small percentage of your overall stack you have the freedom to chase it down and dramatically decrease the amount of time to profit. --- |

| Forceful_Dragon 05/13/21 9:58:36 AM #185 | I don't think it holds above 1.80 all day. I had a good time with cardano yesterday, bought several dips. Then I sold everything at 1.82 and 1.83 and i'll try to buy back in around 1.75. I could probably wait for it to run down lower, but I want to have my position back in the event that I'm wrong and it continues to climb. --- |

| Forceful_Dragon 05/12/21 8:29:10 PM #3 | You would generally want to be able to connect it to a computer if only to install SideQuest for modding/installing games. Modding is particularly important for something like Beat Saber so you can have custom songs. You can also run it as a wired headset if your computer is sufficiently powerful, but that's not the main selling feature of the Quest 2. But if you're worried about storage then you can just keep a few games on the headset at a time, and connect to your PC when you want to easily change what is installed. --- |

| Forceful_Dragon 05/10/21 4:04:49 PM #112 | Mother F***er. I got tired of waiting for the Cardano correction that I knew was coming, and as I mentioned earlier I sold my position at 1.72, and I was going to wait until a low 1.60~ price to expand my position for less than I cashed out at. And so for 36 hours I waited patiently, but ADA had legs and crossed the 1.80 threshold and showed serious resistance any time it neared 1.70. And so I finally gave and I moved my 1.6101 buy order to 1.7001 which is still a (teeny tiny) expansion of my position from the 1.72 sell (1.17% increase hell yeah). At this point I'm expecting it will gravitate back down to 1.70, but there were SO MANY buy orders parked at 1.70 that it seemed like a stable enough floor that had already rebuffed a couple attempts. Within 15 minutes it falls to 1.6010 -_- Which fine, I wasn't selling out of ADA forever and I was expecting a fall, but by moving my goal posts I turned a 6.8% gain into a less than 1.2% gain just before it was about to trigger. Oh and now it's down to 1.55, it just fell a ton more. --- |

And then click "took a shower" when i've had a shower after to put my Hygiene back into the dark green. I know there are plenty of fitness apps or meal tracker apps or things like that, but I want a The Sims branded version (or at least a version of it that borrows their style of resource bars) of that and I think there could be an actual demand for such a thing. But I don't know the first thing about developing an App -_- --- |

| Forceful_Dragon 05/09/21 2:40:38 PM #476 | I don't think having an abundance of caution is the same thing as fear. I have received both doses of Pfizer. That means: 1) I'm not likely to contract the virus even if I'm exposed to it. Pfizer has some 95~% efficacy rate And 2) in the low% chance I contact the virus I will not have a serious or life threatening case. . And that's fantastic. But that means that there is still a chance that I could be the link between the virus and an unvaccinated person. And when you consider the percentage of the population that is flat out refusing the receive the vaccination you can imagine there are still significant swaths and clusters of people who are fully susceptible to the virus. When I continue to limit my activity in public and when I continue to wear a mask I'm not doing it for myself. I'm doing it for the person I've never met before where I might be the one link in the chain that allowed the virus to reach them. If 1/4 of the population is going to be 100% susceptible and 3/4 of the population is going to be 5% susceptible... Then it's still most important that the 1/4 is taking precaution. But the 3/4 continuing to take precautions will still have an effect and could still prevent the virus from crossing from one group of unvaccinated people to another. --- |

| Forceful_Dragon 05/09/21 2:37:01 AM #60 | I'm pretty shocked as well, I think we'll see a sell off from other markets as US investors become too asleep to keep eating the dips. I'm expecting the dust will settle around 15-20 cents, but it could certainly be lower. In the mean time Cardano crossed 1.70 again so I got out again. Last time it crossed 1.70 I got out at 1.74 and then got back in around 1.60 so I was able to simultaneously expand my position and take a small profit. --- |

| Topic | Politics Containment Topic 372: Greene New Deal |
| Forceful_Dragon 05/08/21 4:45:45 PM #468 | I think the point is that there is a sub group of people who don't HAVE to budget and make sacrifices to participate in whichever activity strikes their fancy. And for some people it is an attainable sacrifice that can be budgeted for, but for a not insignificant number of participants it's something they can do just because they want to without having to consider the cost or resource allocation behind it. It doesn't make it impossible for lower income people to get involved, but that aspect to it affects the culture you associate with the sport. . It's almost (but not exactly) like saying "Black people can be successful too, just look how wealthy Beyonc is". The exception does *not* prove the rule false which is why the expression is "the exception to prove the rule". --- |

| Topic | Seeking advice for an acquaintance |
| Forceful_Dragon 05/05/21 10:23:49 AM #9 | What state is this? Because I'm sure on a federal level any workplace impropriety can be reported to the Department of Labor, but different states might have their own specific orgs better suited for it. In my case I had an issue that I had to report to the California Labor Commission which serves that function for the state of CA and it was extremely painless and once I reported the issue they handled everything else and represented my interests to resolve the matter. But my case was a very open and shut situation without much room for subjectivity so something like a hostile work place can be less clear cut. BUT with that said your friend is going to want to take a documented action to cover his ass. Such as e-mailing his direct supervisor to request an appointment/meeting to discuss the work environment. "Ever since I my surgery I have noticed a negative change in the workplace environment and I would like an opportunity speak with you about this matter" Even something as simple as that, in an email, to a member of management will provide so much ass-covering if there is any retaliation. If they make his job more difficult he can say "I sent the email on this day, I had a meeting with my boss on this day, and shortly thereafter they did [this] which made my work more difficult". Or if they try to fire him he can pretty easily take them for everything. And it isn't that he should be going out of his way to pick a fight, but he needs to understand that he has rights as a worker and there are simple steps he can take to give himself the best possible chance to protect those rights. --- |

| Topic | Stock Topic 28 |
| Forceful_Dragon 05/04/21 3:47:18 PM #386 | but if it ends anywhere BETWEEN 129 and 134 you cost yourself a good bit too, right? Like with your original deal @ 134 you were going to have collected free premiums for any price below 134, and you will have still profited a good bit from your original buy price in the event of a trigger. And so your best case scenario is a high sub-134 finish that will allow you to sell another week long call @134 (or even higher?) for another decent premium gain. I guess I'm just not seeing as much of the upside to switching for 129. You basically took a new premium of $550 for a not-insignificant chance to sell for much less. Which I wouldn't be as concerned about except the fact that it finished nearly at 129 yesterday and finished above 129 twice last week so we're not talking about a crazy deviation here. But hey for your sake I hope it works out, I'm not just seeing it as an obvious slam dunk of a situation. --- |
| Topic | Stock Topic 28 |
| Forceful_Dragon 05/04/21 3:27:04 PM #384 | So the $1300 / $1000 is the total premium for 10 sets of calls? edit: which honestly makes more sense because I couldn't imagine you getting a premium equal to 10% of the total sale if the call triggered. But it makes your decision to trade your call down that much more baffling unless you are convinced that the price is going to continue to plummet. Because essentially your total sale will be for $5000 less in the event of a recovery now. --- |
| Topic | Stock Topic 28 |
| Forceful_Dragon 05/04/21 3:13:57 PM #380 | Sunroof posted... Im slowly learning how to game the system. But isn't is SIGNIFICANTLY more likely to recover back to $129 and trigger the call? If I'm understanding this right you own 100 shares of WYNN and someone paid you $1300 to have the option to buy your shares from you for $134 if the price increased enough by the strike date. I don't know what you got in at, but presumably it was less than 134 so you end up profiting from the sale of your shares and collecting the premium if the call triggers. But you'd prefer if the call expired worthless and you get the free premium and then STILL own the stock to continue to sell calls. But by setting a new call that seems significantly more likely to trigger aren't not really gaining that much? Because now if the call triggers you are gaining $12,900 for the sale of your stocks as opposed to $13,400. So you paid $450 for a chance to earn $500 less when the call triggers and are really only coming out $50 ahead? And the stock closed at 128.86 yesterday so it wouldn't take much recovery to hit 129. At least that's how i'm seeing this, maybe I'm missing some key details. --- |

Yeah it does But there's no good way to know if you've done that star rating for that pokemon for that version of the course, right? If all four of my scorbunny photos on file were taken during the night (lets say 4500 points apiece) then I can still collect any easy 12,000 points during the day (3000 per star) but i have to keep a mental log of which ones i've submitted during the day --- |
| Topic | New Pokemon Snap Review Zone |
| Forceful_Dragon 05/04/21 1:43:01 AM #64 | Here's a question. Let's say I have a 1* picture of Scorbunny worth 4500 points that I took on the Night Course. Naturally it contributes 4500 to raising the level of the Night Course. If I submit a 1* photo of Scorbunny on the Day Course that's worth 3,000 and its my first time submitting Scorbunny during the day will it contribute points to leveling up my Day Course? Or will it do nothing because it's worse than the picture I already had on file for that slot? My assumption is that the game is smart enough to treat it separately but I haven't seen any good way to know for sure which slots I've done on both Day and Night or which slots I've only submitted a picture on just one or the other. So when I'm submitting a 2* Bidoof on the night course I might gain 50 points by barely beating my previous attempt but I could have gained 3,000 points if I'd remembered tray I'd never submitted a 1* Bidoof on night and submitted one of those even though it might have been clearly worse than the Day picture on file. Right? --- |
