I regularly eat one meal a day unless someone else encourages me to eat more. On the flip side I can overeat easier than most people too-- it works both ways. I suspect if you're regularly going 24+ without food you're one of those "blessed" people who aren't even getting hungry until a long period has passed. --- No problem!

In fact if you can find companies that are more "volatile" that you believe in those will give you much better returns as the put premium is higher. You need to find companies you KNOW will not go below price X for an extended period. As many of them as you can. Being assigned the shares should be literally 0 stress to you. In fact you should be disappointed when the price goes up and want to roll your put closer. You shouldn't do this, but you should want to. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 04/01/21 10:52:47 AM #361 | Yeah. While as a general rule I think diversification is overvalued with the sold put it actually helps a lot. Not just for protecting yourself against mega tank events like that but also from protecting yourself from being assigned shares. Disney going to $182 is unlikely but Disney and say 9 other safe stocks going to a lower value is that much more. So you're more likely to keep a lot more money open for selling puts if you spread out. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 03/31/21 12:44:22 PM #298 | Imo it was way more risky. You're "buying the dip" on a stock that had gone +100% in the past year to get to that dip (it was +250% before then) and it's a super low volume stock at that. PTON is a growth stock that at least peaked a lot higher than what it's at. EVRI isn't much higher than it was pre-pandemic so you can argue it's at something resembling a fair value now Like DISC.B dropping down to $30 was probably more likely than what did happen. And because of the way the stock volume is it could have absolutely gapped down a lot of that. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

That type of move is going to lose more often than win and as much as you think "it's not easier to make money when you have more money in play" if you didn't have 90k to muscle around you're not making nearly as much there. --- No problem!

| Topic | What's the worst game you've sunk 50+ hours into? |
| Lopen 03/30/21 11:12:44 PM #235 | Crescent-Moon posted... Didn't like EO4 at all... But again, didn't make it to 50 hours. Probably 30ish. The game forces you to grind at an incredibly slow pace at various times because the level scaling of enemies is amazingly unbalanced. You can effortlessly 1-turn enemies in one area for piddly gains... And the enemies in the next area you're supposed to go can 1-turn you if they feel like it, even with the best equipment you can manage at the time, leaving you to try to slowly scrap away at enough encounters to actually get somewhere, since you'll need 2-3 turns to kill them. This happens constantly - Probably more often than in the first 3 games combined. They level locked so many skills that you have to stop spending skill points for a long time to wait until you get to the next threshold, which artificially slows the pace down even more. Eventually I just got tired of dealing with it. Gemerally agree with your thoughts on these games in the post but I never had anything resembling this experience with EO4 and I suspect you just didn't get the mechanics very well, no offense. There are just a lot of mechanics and stiff learning curve in there and a poorly composed team is going to have a ton of trouble --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 03/30/21 6:44:07 PM #268 | Anyway the point is a company entirely refocusing their gameplan while POSSIBLE isn't really something that you should consider a realistic risk of owning a stock and by and large the established company gives you some sense of ground floor value of the stock. It's not entirely "the whims of the public" deciding what non dividend paying stocks are worth. There is a well defined backbone there, and even just speculating on "what if the company starts paying out a dividend what would that dividend plausibly be" has some inherent worth because you can somewhat guess at that what the dividend is based on profit margins and stock price. --- No problem!

FB or GOOG (and I have at various points in the past), and suddenly the founders decide they don't care what the market thinks in the short run, they are embarking on a 60 year plan to reinvest all their earnings into colonizing Mars - well, if the stock tanks, I'm not going to complain or be filing a shareholder lawsuit. That is the risk of owning that stock. I guess the difference to me is the potential risks of bitcoin tanking (government regulation, different crypto winning out, discovered flaw in algorithm, loss of public faith in crypto, etc) are far far more realistic than an established multi billion or trillion dollar company randomly deciding to colonize Mars. --- No problem!

It's all "artificial" in that it entirely depends on what those in an exchange are willing to assign to it. There's no reason to keep comparing it to a stock. Strong disagree. Currency is actually closer to a stock but instead of a company you're investing in a country. USD has the faith of the US government and US businesses honoring it that grounds its value. Hundreds of years of established backing that give you ballpark what 1 USD is worth. Or if you wanna wear the tinfoil hat then you can even just put its birth as when we got off the gold standard. Still dwarfs bitcoin in terms of age and use. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 03/30/21 2:40:44 PM #240 | Well Crypto vs Google/Facebook is somewhat accurate. They're both somewhat speculative, but ultimately it's all about what you're speculating on. So you have Crypto which is mostly grounded by an ideal of independent money/payment system. It could go up and down based on how much traction or perceived traction the system has. Facebook and Google are grounded by actual companies (and could eventually pay dividends) which report numbers for their profits and have a tangible effect on day to day living for many people. I would say it's disingenuous to compare Crypto to them outright because you've got a lot more grounding for the base value of the companies than you do for bitcoin. It's impossible for google to go to 10% value without google going out of business, and that's a hard thing to imagine. Crypto would be more like if I dunno a small company that doesn't do earnings calls and it's not 100% sure what they actually are going to achieve long term or their profit margin is going to be-- like if say AVCT had two types of stocks, the value of the non-voting one would be sorta like bitcoin. --- No problem!

| Lopen 03/29/21 6:28:14 PM #35 | LeonhartFour posted... Particularly for people like Vlado who will always view adopted kids as inferior to biological kids. Adopting is (usually) a great thing to do but I don't think painting it with this kind of brush is helpful. There are plenty of reasons to not want to adopt and it isn't necessarily about treating adopted kids as inferior. Trying to shame people into adopting is poor form. But yeah I don't think adoption is a good thing to bring up right away in any case especially since stingers said he hasn't really thought about it much. But like I said this is something that he himself can think about for himself in the meantime rather than needling his partner about having a child. --- No problem!

| Lopen 03/29/21 4:44:26 PM #194 | I think what you need to do is just stop following the stock market as much, moreso than swapping over to index funds. Keep an eye on news (not price) of your stocks to be sure what you've chosen are still winning moves, but that's the extent of the attention you probably should be paying right now if you don't have extra funds to be using to invest. Like great stock picks will outdo indexes by a lot. Heck just good ones will outdo indexes. If you believe in what you have then you'll win out. If the temptation to make plays isn't there it's much easier to be okay with sitting on red stocks. How you lose is by selling something red that you had no real reason to doubt and only went down a little because you think this other play can make up the loss and then some. I'm 13k down in the past month and I feel fine. That's like 1/3 my portfolio value. I'm sure you're down much less. So don't worry about it. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 03/29/21 3:43:27 PM #29 | Eh I mean it's funny to make fun of Vlado, and the way he's phrasing things is a bit blunt/crass, but it is actually different to adopt depending on why you want a kid. Even if nurture is usually more important than nature and the adopted kid is 100% "your" kid, the idea of seeing how your genes combine with someone you love and having this kid that is the product 100% of your union is maybe romantic to some people and part of the selling point to having a kid as much as raising the kid. Myself included honestly. (not enough to really want one or anything but if I have say like 5% interest in having a kid my interest in adopting is like -30%) But yeah echo the support her first mindset. Sort it out in your head over time but in a relationship you need to get your partner through stuff first. Don't rush a decision about kids-- she's probably not thinking right right now.

Like there's a reason the community thinks of so many wacky challenges for it, it just has satisfying gameplay and it's kind of a shame it's so easy to break the game open when you have full control over all the resources available to you. The contrast to FFTA , despite both games being kinda easy if you know what you're doing, is FFTA doesn't really reward you for breaking the system-- it's just mind numbingly easy no matter what path you take.
