I’m sick of this topic. I’m convinced nobody actually cares.
Is it rare for the premiums on eagles to be as low as they currently are? I’m seeing as low as 6% over spot. For someone like me with a very modest physical stack it feels like a decent time to grab some.

Any general market thoughts?
Yeah that argument might work better if I hadn’t met a lot of my more recent ancestors. My great grandparents didn’t give off “damn my life has been sweet” vibes.
I always thought it meant “in a non obvious (high key) way”.
I just can’t fathom pine bluff making a comeback anytime soon. Peter asked younger people if they were planning on staying and they kind of awkwardly avoided a direct answer. The answer is universally no. Little Rock is 45 minutes away. Why the hell would anyone stay?

No, this is the forever bubble.
I don’t think I’d be able to speak in coherent sentences with Daddario. Those eyes are dangerous.
How far west does West Little Rock have to move before people take a hint.
I’m probably in the minority but SEC football with Brando on the call back in the day was classic shite.
Weather.gov. There are TWO currently in the US. One just west of Montgomery AL headed southeast and one in E Louisiana near the MS border near Natchez.
I remember learning about wind farms replacing fossil fuels and nuclear plants when I was in a middle school and thinking “there’s no way anyone actually believes this shite”.

We’re living in a society with rules. If a period of time passes where tornadoes are abnormally rare, you simply don’t bring it up.
Most narcissistic scam of the 21st century by far.

So, what do you do instead?
Put yourself and your capital to work immediately. AI is repricing the value of human labor and increasing the value of assets. If it makes sense to go back to school after a while do it. But spending 4 years of your life and your entire $150k bankroll on college right now is not wise unless you have a very specific, lucrative career path lined up that requires college.
I’ll go a step further. In 2026 it’s dumb even if you have $150k in cash.
Why do I know more about EV demand than Honda? :lol:
You want REAL advise? You’ll never have any edge against the street in valuing companies. Thats not to discourage you from educating yourself but I wouldn’t try to fashion yourself into a self directed, value investor. That’s a really crowded game and there is no edge to be found.

Now, if you’re just talking about getting rid of Edward jones and picking your own ETFs and CDs, that could be great.

Just be careful when you read about people picking stocks. I can’t pick stocks (particularly based on fundamentals) and consistently beat the S&P. And I’ve been hanging out in this sandbox since I was ~12, got a finance-investments degree, and still love this shite 20 years later.

The only edge to be found in terms of outperforming the indexes is on a macro level IMO. Alternative assets are institutionally under-examined and they can crush the indexes in certain regimes. Risk management is very important if you go that route though.

Ebay’s CAGR with dividend reinvestment is comfortably beating VOO’s over both 5 and 10 year time frames.

And I don’t own any shares of eBay but someone has to bring something of substance to this board occasionally.
