    With the VIX around 35-38 with no “real” news, seems like a buy opportunity. Just my :twocents:

    having my money in different pots makes it easy NOT to calculate the total net changes

    which is nice

    lol my “brokerage” account is just an account I opened with TDA a few years ago that I’d mess with here and there. Basically I would buy some stuff randomly, once it got to a certain price I’d sell it and run, for better or worse. More like gambling than anything.

    Just happened to end up where all I had was RIVN around the same time the market started sliding so I haven’t got into anything else. And now RIVN is so bad I’m riding it to the bottom.

    My thought on buying it was really just a gamble that in a decade it’d be as inflated as Tesla haha

    Feeling better now about funding my HSA on Friday, plus some of my Roth.
    And not selling anything today.

    Can't wait to watch it happen again tomorrow.

    I was in law school and they fired a fuckton of lawyers nation wide on one day that fall. Had some time to weather it but I knew a lot of dudes who worked for barely any money for a while because of the ramifications of the market tanking for years to come. I think if you graduated within 2-3 years (can’t recall exactly) of 2008 your lifetime earning potential was substantially impacted because of more senior people taking entry level jobs for lower wages.

    Good buddy got offered a job billing 2100 hours with a 32,500/35k salary at graduation. It was a blood bath.
