I’m not in fidelity funds for that very reason. Will likely have to use that as leverage if they don’t budge.

Level 3 options fidelity

Anyone actually got it? Struggling with liquidating everything just to move to Schwab for this reason. Very disappointing that spreads aren’t approved at level 2.

INTC Comeback

Why isn’t this discussed more? They are finally expanding into gpu territory as a legitimate threat to TSMC. While they have popped earlier this year, I think there still stands to be a ton of upside through 2027 and possibly 2028.

Apart of that they are in the top 5 most heavily traded tickers day in and day out.

Oh boy. Feel like institutional investors know something pre earnings.

Diversification beyond equities

Posted by racknreel on 7/29/26 at 8:25 pm
How are you all diversifying - or better, planning to eventually diversify? I follow boglehead principles in general and invest in VT, VOO, VXUS, BND, etc. but I feel that isn’t enough. Too much equity concentration in the long run. CD ladders? Treasuries? RE? I fully acknowledge that equities are still the name of the game right now.

Down the line into retirement even with a good 3 fund mix will it hold up? Is there enough fixed income assets in this to be robust enough? Been thinking more about this lately and I feel like it’s not discussed enough. We’re in the best decade(s) of equities the markets have ever seen, retirees right now are coasting.

Is this worth exploring? I don’t have any laser measurements or other devices but I can certainly hang a string with a weight ?????.

Trying to save as much as possible on car maintenance however also trying to balance spend on tools to do the job.

How long will it take for the market to recover after this SpaceX IPO mess? Better question perhaps - will the AI stocks reach their ATHs again?

Interesting. How much do new radiators go for? Are you buying OEM from the dealership or aftermarket?

When I drained mine the internals looked ok at the top under the cap. Can’t see the bottom of course.

Car is well past the recommended mileage and I’d like to preserve the components that are in contact with it. I read online that the by products created over time can be mildly corrosive or can block small passages within the loop.

Edit: im trying to preserve this car as long as possible as it is my commuter. Have some other maintenance I’d like to do on it as well that I don’t have much experience with.

Thanks successfully completed and drove around. Seems to be good, air purged and I checked a few hours later - reservoir and radiator still full. Squeezed the hoses to get the bubbles out.

Car coolant change

Posted by racknreel on 4/25/26 at 10:17 am
Got a quote to change out my engine coolant and it was $400. After watching a few videos, it seems that this is a very simple job and the new OEM coolant is about $20. Am I missing something or is it really this easy? Honda OEM does not recommend flush, literally just drain and replace.

It’s low effort and it doesn’t make sense
