    we had a convo in this thread start of September. Most felt the markets were due to pull back (which they did) but even still how you could time it and play the tax game properly just seems too difficult vs set it and forget it.

    I put half my funds in TQQQ on the 18th. Would've been better off if I put all my funds there. Did hit a couple nice runs with AMBA, BROS, and especially KKR. Stocks are up overall, but not as much as TQQQ.

    I have 10 years to draw down an inherited IRA so I'll only sell it if I think that the price in 10 years will be lower than the current price, which I do not. I'll probably just sell some calls against my shares if it stays at or near ATH. We have rate increases coming sometime and that's a risk to mess me up in the short run but long run I think I'll be ok.

    Or, increase your stops every day as it rises, and sell when you get stopped out. Put stops in the white area between red and blue lines, or somewhere in the upper blue lines. Otherwise, let it run.

    These are beasts.

    Sprott Physical Uranium Trust has been buying up and storing uranium. The uranium buying market has been really lazy since Fukushima, spot price got down to 10 bucks with the oversupply and governments shying away from nuclear. Sprott's average cost of their 40% global supply is about $29. They want to move the market to about $80 (which is reasonable)

    Due to climate pressure, many countries (including Japan, France, Britain, Germany) have said they're going to move back to nuclear. France has commissioned 7 new facilities.

    Mining companies that specialize in uranium are going to move for the next few years

    UUUU has the most upside as it's a US company and will benefit greatly from the infrastructure package

    imo PTON is victim of its own success. It reached a ceiling so quickly they now demand even more revenue. But where is that going to come from? Who didn't get it in 2020 that will in 2021-22?

    Now they're dumping millions into ads for whom?

    They did make moves like buying Precor, and I thought it was to expand into additional workout equipment, or at least update their ellipticals that are 15+ years old at la fitness.

    FYI - I think this was discussed a while back. Seems like a decent move if just keeping that $ in savings account or whatever, if you can leave it in the bond for a few years.

    "NEWS: The initial interest rate on new Series I savings bonds is 7.12 percent. You can buy I bonds at that rate through April 2022."

    I'm not a pro on this, but I have some crypto on Celsius where I get returns. Was thinking about moving all but a couple months of savings into USDC.
    For every $10,000 you have on there, you get ~$18/week in rewards/interest. They don't do annual or monthly, only weekly. The rates can change though. They have been anywhere from 8-12% recently. Just went up some. You have to be careful when looking at APR vs APY. APR is what we're used to seeing and is a little less. 10.05 APR = 9.56APY (because you're paid weekly it is a lower amount but ends up being the 10.05 after a year...I think?)

    If you're serious about moving anything over there, let me know so we can both get referral bonus. Not trying to shill it as I have zero USDC on there right now, but was thinking about moving some cash to get the rate. I currently have BTC, ETH, LINK, LTC, and MATIC on their site, but get a much lower return than the 10%

    Is the only risk the fact the rate isnt fixed? The Bond you at least know you're getting 7% until April, I assume the USD thing is variable? Anyway to end up losing money? lol

    Rate isn't fixed, but it's been around 10% as long as I can remember.

    Here's the governments recent report on it.

    Yes there’s a counter party and execution risk with all of the third party crypto companies offering higher interest rates. I think you’d have to be comfortable that the risk of them going belly up and keeping all of your money is far below whatever returns they’re offering.

    I will look into it today/this weekend. Really I am just looking for somewhere I can park some of my savings account and get an OK return with minimal risk and also not have to worry about having a huge issue taking some out when I want. I havent gotten into any of the crypto stuff at all, so usually the deposit/withdraw is my biggest concern after the risk of losing money

    Makes sense. I think of myself as risk averse, but I have money on it. If you're only putting a small amount for a short period of time, I'd go with the bonds.

    Have you withdrawn money yet? It'd be nice to not have to worry about any restrictions on taking it out. The bonds have to be in there for a year, and if you cash out before 5 years you forfeit 3 months of interest.

    They’re working on swaps, but you would have to extract to a wallet on an exchange. I just go back and forth between coinbase.

    I know a bunch of people that use Celsius as a crypto bank and no one has advised me of any issues to date

    I’m very supportive of HuskerInMiami advising of these products. It’s been very easy to use and you can enable HODL mode if you want, which means your acct is locked from withdrawal until a passcode is entered and 24 hours passes
