I thought that was a pretty fun event. Pretty much expected the chaos on lap 1 with that many karts, but still kind of wild how he carved through every gap of the carnage unscathed.

Jeezus Christ! Do you own multiple properties that you're doing these for? I'm not very familiar with HELOCs but even just one for that amount seems like you added a west wing to the dwelling, haha.

holy shite. all of you saying your shares went long had me go check mine. how the fug has it already been a year!!?? mine went long back in july. that was one of the quickest years of investing in something i've experienced.

i swear i was "do your due diligence" pushing this stock after buying what feels like 6 months ago :lol:

Short answer, yes, for the third time this week haha.

Start with this thread

Then this one

And then this one

Been in it since and with a DCA of $18.

I have a certain stack of investments it advised me to take positions on. I even told it the budget I was allocating and it broke it out for me on suggested amounts for each stock. Micron is my highest ROI at 256% but was over 300% at some point. AVGO is my lowest at 5% with the entire stack of companies sitting at an overall gain of about 50% YTD. And that’s after a pretty strong sell off the last couple months. These stocks were purchased the final week of 2025 to put that into perspective.

I’ve said it before, it’s a useful tool but the more specific you can be with your prompts the more optimal it will be. One thing it won’t prepare you for are unforeseen events with drastic implications. Not that anything can but what I mean is it won’t suggest to keep an eye on current events by itself. Not unless you ask it to consider the possibility of whatever event you can think of. And only then it might suggest a more cautious approach but that’s about it.

It’s been a good education tool for me. I maxed out my IRA contributions and basically started using it to teach me options and strategies that fit my risk tolerance and goals for my brokerage account. Beginners luck maybe, but my first option trade yielded me a 40% profit but admittedly I was impatient and sold too early. Coulda gotten closer to 100% or more but you can’t look at it that way.

I will continue to use it cautiously and as an added tool but I’ll never depend on it solely without other due diligence.

Bring it. Got plenty of cash to dump into it and plenty of runway until retirement to watch that rebound.
