1 up!

 

is that code for mushroom tossing?

 

 

And guess what Robot Up is code for...?

 

Are we talking about the magical kind of mushrooms?

 

BTW, not that any of you gives a single fark...but, after years of patiently searching and waiting, I was able to find a minty and vintage Bandai Godaikin toy (from the 1980s) of a figure (Gardian) my Grandpa bought me as a kid for a fantastic price...sure, it's still close to $300 with shipping and everything...but, for the price of happy memories? I think it's fair.




Good day.

 

And oh, I read probably the best post evar in Car Talk today. Evar.


Brought tears to my eyes actually.

 

Speaking of investing... I want to start trading on the stock market but I have no idea how to do it. Not the actual buying of shares, but knowing what to look for and making wise investments. I know nothing is fool proof, especially the stock market, but shit, I feel like I'd be walking into a battlefield with a blindfold on and a nerf gun, lol

 

the one where Srika was like.......

came in to post shot, but its already here....


that one?

 

they're only fun once in a while.

humans build a tolerance to them fast!

 

I was thinking of buying all potatoes and creating an artificial potato famine across North America. I can't wait until small fries cost $25 at mcdonalds

 

Oh believe me, I know. Uh, in theory only, that is.

 

I did it for a bit during my 20s with the $$$ I earned...but, being neurotic...it became obsessive and honestly, I don't want to become one of THOSE guys (and I think the regulars in here like Maj and Miz knows what I'm referring to) who spend their days obsessing at numbers on their computer while day-trading...


BUT, if you want to get started, you can easily get yourself set up on a trading site like Charles Schwab or similar...

Generally, to earn a quick buck or too, penny stocks are kinda the thing to go. Currency trading isn't bad either...and a bit less, helter-skelter...but, again, that's almost subjective since currencies can go doink in a blink if something nuts happens...

Otherwise, if you just want to play it safe and NOT lose your mind, I'd go to a bank...invest in some mutual funds and call it a day. There are a few advisors at the banks (mostly useless though) who can give you some...advice.

Not sure if I helped at all.

 

My wife has an awesome robot you should add to your collection. All it does is vibrates when you turn it on, but she swears it's the best toy ever

 

Or just invest in robots...like me!

 

Oh...does she call that robot...Devastator?

 

I, on the other hand, actually did take Franchie's advice.. redistributed the 401k last night. I put a decent percentage into an int'l emerging market fund that has a majority percentage of the portfolio in regions that will hopefully stay strong. I feeling like I'm making fantasy football picks honestly.

 

I've considered mutual funds, but I was thinking of something a bit more higher risk with a better potential return.

I'll look into the Charles schwab site. I don't want to become a crazy trader either, just looking to diversify a bit, you know?

 

I have some inside information..

 

No, that's what she calls my cock

She calls that robot "betterthantacobello"

 

send me your monies..

 

Is it from inside your ass?

 

everyone wants to get rich quick..

 

Getting rich slow just takes too long

How else will i support my hookers n' blow habits? Shit gets expensive!!

 

Don't give the hookers blow..

 

Well, from what I've gathered, you have some rental property? Are those paid off or do you have a couple of mortgages?

If yes to the latter, I'd work on your debt instead of diversifying since you already are "investing"...that's in real estate. So, you're fine.

 

I'm more of a fan of the Viagra mushroom.. I mean super mushroom.

 

 

Maj...you do know that Franch is actually a stock clerk at Target and not a financial analyst, right?

 

 

IT just replaced my dual 30 inch monitors with two 27 inchers.

I have buyers remorse and I didnt even buy anything...

 

If only you had 3 inches..

 

i need to compensate somehow...

 

 

hey guys quick question does anyone know the intervals on changing the timing belt on a j32? 161k pretty cold temps where I live im assuming its already been done once buy the last owner since its still running

 

 

Well my mortgages are essentially paying themselves by the renters. I'm really only paying like $400 a month out of pocket (that's just my mortgage because the basement suite doesn't cover the entire mortgage- the other place pays for itself). While paying off the properties is definitely a good idea, it seems there are two trains of thought with this- pay off your house as fast as possible, or use the money that you'd use to pay off the house and invest it and if you make more money than the interest you're paying, you're golden.

 

Extend your monitors with 6" of paper on the side and draw a picture in of your desktop wall paper to make it look like you have 33" monitors

 

I'd wait another 100k if I were you. If it ain't broke, don't fix it

 

That's a good idea. I should also look for cheaper hookers. Screw this $20 for a happy ending BS. They should be paying ME.
