re: Buying a new mattress help needed.

Posted by meeple on 6/2/26 at 8:56 am to
I just did a google search for “mattress tigerdroppings” or a similar variation and it returned probably 20 threads within the last several years.

Settled on a Zinus
So you bought that one you originally linked from the Zinus site? Or was it on Amazon at the time and no longer there? How do you like it 3+ years later (good since you bought another one for daughter?)?

A few years ago you posted about a Zinus mattress.

A couple of questions. How do you like it, and what’s the difference between the one you linked and buying them off Amazon? They look different in appearance.

Thx, didn’t know how else to ask you since that thread is locked.

Also thx for the temp hijack, I won’t linger in here…

I'm ~40% YTD and thought I was crushing it. Some of y'all are REALLY crushing it!

That’s since I started the account, so since Oct/Nov 2024, and mostly thanks to NBIS

Nice gains though!

have pulled out 15%, some as dry powder, for similar reason.


I’m hoping to retire in 7 yrs, at 55. So in the near term it would be taking profits in the event of a pullback. I’m also looking to get into other investments as well. In the past 1.5 yrs I’ve slowly built a self directed brokerage to 277% unrealized gains from following this board (Thanks MB!). However this only represents almost 10% of my overall retirement across all sources.

I’ve been very conservative in how much I’ve allocated, and would like some more “dry powder” for future opportunities as they arise.

Long term, markets will chug up but there’s always inevitable pain and reset.

As with everyone here I’m up nicely.

For my 401k I’m considering cashing out 15% for the inevitable pullback,,, but will there be one to below where we are today? The age old question remains…

My mom called the cable company to have MTV removed. I’m pretty sure it was because of this video.



My wife and I watched it together the other night….

Where is everyone with quantums these days? I’m still holding some shares of QBTS and RGTI. Thinking of taking the profits I still have and rolling them elsewhere.

Appreciate the input. I have been wanting to jump in more on tbe recent ones brought up here and also feel like for what I own in each, my profit may be better served elsewhere.

Same question. Have around 400 spread among multiple accounts. 100 in brokerage. I’m wondering if I should remove my initial investment.
