Top is in

[BicycleB]

Salmon is the most important ingredient in lox. Dare I say it?

Lox top is IN!

Most rocket engineers agree the LOX is TOPped off.  Just watched a Spacex launch.

*LOX  is Liquid OXygen, one of the most common propellants (oxidizer) in rockets.

Just remember to add the LOX after starting the grill rather than before:

Yep, the title of video is dangerously misleading.   as you said LIGHT the grill before getting liquid oxygen anywhere near it, even if you are living dangerously (otherwise you might not be living at all).

I've never checked the math, but I recall from the disclaimer the first time i saw that video years ago, one briquet soaked in LOX lights off like 1/4 stick of TNT...

Sounds about right.

This is a very educational thread.

You definitely can't get any more educational than this thread when it comes to the fine art and science of market timing.

I'm considering converting my index fund holding to salmon futures, but it is hard to tell from this discussion which top in more in. Please help.

Salmon top is definitely in. I'm investing in Kraken now.

Salmon top is usually in early June with prices declining as more and more fish have been caught. Now is the time to invest in blueberry and caribou futures.

I can verify that the blueberry top is in.  I picked 8lbs of blueberries in one day off my bushes a couple weeks ago, and now they're slowing to a trickle as the season winds down.  I would definitely go with the caribou.

You must be south of me. Our blue berries are just hitting the ripe phase now and won't reach peak tastiness until they get a good freeze in a couple of weeks.

Btw, @Alternatepriorities, very cool avatar. Looks both mountainous and graphlike. Wonderfully evocative of The Top!

Candle mountains? Like a Volcano? Those are exciting, especially when they lose their top.

Definitely way way south of Alaska.  We are north of you on alphabetical lists of states, though. 

Here the idea of a freeze in August is just incomprehensible.

Dang - we still have a couple weeks until blueberry season here - at least for the wild ones.

August frost is only for the mountains around this part of the state. By late August my father who lives in the interior will be covering his garden on clear night to give it a couple more weeks of life and his local blue berries will be about perfect. It’s easier to find the berries once the leaves turn red and yellow too.

New personal top is in today.

Thanks Appl...

[BicycleB]

We are so near the all time S&P 500 top. It almost makes you think this rise could go on forever, with only teeny tiny interruptions.

But nah. Top is in!

[dragoncar]

New personal top is in today.

Thanks Appl...

Me too.  Again.  It's actually hard to believe that the S&P500 top isn't in yet.  I mean IS in.  The top is always in, of course.

[UnleashHell]

Top is in.
my top is in.
personal top.
unless you count the position i was in before my divorce. I had more net worth then.

but this is about now so the TOP IS IN

[dragoncar]

before my divorce. I had more net worth then.

Were you accurately accounting your liabilities in that NW calculation?

[UnleashHell]

before my divorce. I had more net worth then.

clearly I didn't put a high negative value on being married.  Now its all about me :D

@UnleashHell , sorry about the divorce. I learned a lot about the legal system when I went through a bad real estate sale. With that username, it looks like you should be able to handle yourself just fine anytime lawyers are involved.

[dragoncar]

I'm not just being snarky.  If you are comparing household NW to individual NW, there are going to be discrepancies.

[UnleashHell]

@dragoncar  I prefer it when you are snarky! Its my first language.

First run at first was at household level. Divorce blew that up just as I reached it. Household top was in!!

Now I have various things to settle from the divorce and a small alimony payment to work into my spreadsheet for a few years.

I am in a household again. Combined we have enough to quit but its too complicated to do that and we aren't combining investment accounts etc (just the house we live in) so i get to calculate and work it all out on my own.
For that however individual top is in!!


Either way top is in.

Wasn't that always the answer?

Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI) hit a new Top


The Top is in!

[Exflyboy]

I think VTI was a couple of point short of an all time high on Friday yes?

[dougules]

Now that the top is in, I got Vanguard's new logo ready for them.

The only holding I am down on in my entire portfolio is a february 2020 buy which is down .25%. Top is clearly TF in. PS: Fear is back.

You shouldn’t have any holdings in your portfolio.  Only sellings.

Nothing in 2020 makes any damn sense anymore.  There's live hockey on the television (but only from Canada), and apparently the top is in.  Again.

We are on top of the shark because 2020 has jumped the shark... Not even shark week makes sense.

Question:  since shark top is in, does that mean that we (and our portfolios) are chum?

I think that conclusion is a bit fishy.  Whether Q3 takes a bit out of your portfolio depends on how big a net of stocks you own, and what your long-term porpoise is. The seas might be rough for a while, and its calmer if you just stay down in the trenches.  Don’t get salty and remember that the patient investor is the biggest fish in the sea.

You can make a tuna money in the market if you do it right.    Fish stock's the best, better than beef or poultry stocks.   

On the other hand, because local tradesmen don't wear masks, I've haddock with renovating houses for the moment.
