Top is in

[PDXTabs]

I would actually be very interested in how you went about that.

But maybe in a more appropriate thread so it doesn't get in the way of the bouncing cats.

I'm not opposed to the idea, but the MMM-HOA committee is after me, even on this thread. :P The upside is that their clown shoes make it hard to run, so it's usually easy to get away. I figure if I start a whole new thread, it'll give them a beacon, and before you know it, there's an army of angry clowns all over the place.

The tl;dr version is to read Graham's The Intelligent Investor, everything Buffett ever wrote, and a few other things (I blogged about that - keyword "stock"), then identify some companies that are very safe but very discounted, and then make the hardest, craziest decision in your life by buying those stocks when they're bleeding out on the floor and everything is deep red. 'twas an emotional morning haha

I'm capable of holding two opposing ideas in my mind at the same time and still retaining the ability to function. I could never go all-in on individual stocks, but I think that a lot folks around these parts consider it acceptable to devote some space in your portfolio to such things, even if you call it "play money."

I'm familiar with Graham's "net net" approach, but I have no idea how to actually find such companies. Just read a bunch of SEC filings?

Yes, lets stay true to the topic at hand.  Cigar butts, being the opposite of cigar tops, are clearly out of bounds.  Butt is out.  Top is in.

Today's  newest NFT is Buttcoin. Smoke em if you've got em.  The valuation us sure to take a cr@p with the top being in and all. But, all things considered, it is probably an auspicious time to invest in TP.

NFTP?

Nah, way easier. :) Find bulletproof companies with huge moats (like, say, XOM or BA, or travel stocks), do some DD on them to make sure they're not run by complete sociopaths and don't have toxic debt obligations, put them on some Yahoo Finance watchlist or some such, then do like a lizard and wait... If at any point in time the market falls like it did during the first half of 2020, and if those stocks go on sale, you just dust off your DD, confirm that they will not, in fact, go out of business, and then swoop in and buy them up. Hell, even Disney fell below $100 - that's just free money right there. :)

[2Birds1Stone]

Hey now - just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they're not after me. :P

Oh, nice to see you making friends here too ;)

Finally got those 100 posts to get that blog link in the signature - congrats!

It's a cute joke... but reality is a bit stranger.
https://www.coinlore.com/coin/buttcoin

Ranked #6175, so not significant.  But over 1,000 other crypto currencies are ranked lower... Too bad there's no market, or I'd pay $1 for 282 "buttcoins" just to make jokes about it.

p.s. I should have said "top is in because I bought into the Shaq SPAC"!  Missed my chance.

[dandarc]

LRY is just a blogger who needs to get to 100 posts to unlock "push my blog via the sig line" . Otherwise was on a path to get banned for spamming before the rules were pointed out.

ETA: Top is in on jackasses looking to drive traffic to their site being to lazy to get the joke.

LOLOLOLOL wow, and I thought I left behind the HOA folks when I turned my condo into a rental and moved to the opposite coast and a whole different country.

Can you show me which of my posts broke the "Don't spam" rule? Because every single one of them contributed to MMM by providing relevant content. Conversely, I can point out a ton of posts from the regulars that provide zero content at all.

And thanks for using 6th-grade insults.

"Jackass" is actually an endearing term in my world - sorry it doesn't translate apparently. But just look at your first X posts here - chock full of links to your blog. Without having first established any sort of reputation or even participation at all before you showed up.

ETA: inside your first 2 days - 2 DAYS - on this forum, https://forum.mrmoneymustache.com/welcome-to-the-forum/say-hi-and-introduce-yourself/msg2925571/#msg2925571 https://forum.mrmoneymustache.com/welcome-to-the-forum/y'all-are-a-bunch-of-quitters-the-great-resignation/msg2925629/#msg2925629 https://forum.mrmoneymustache.com/welcome-to-the-forum/when-frugality-becomes-frupidity-)/msg2926183/#msg2926183

Top is in on rewriting history. Don't forget who specifically told you the rules - didn't know the 100 post rule, but it is posters like you who made that necessary.

ETA again: back on topic - no Highday Friday again, TOP IS IN

[MudPuppy]

YAGE top is in!

YAGE top is in!

Along with the top on "angry new user not actually reading the rules while claiming to know them better than the people who told you how to link to your blog within the rules" . . .

What about angry old users that don't read the rules? Because the rules clearly state that if your blog post is relevant to another thread that is ongoing, feel free to add the link, but you complained about this post which seems like it would be well within the rules.

But then LRT complained about our precious memes as "spam" which they clearly aren't. I fear that both of you are arguing in bad faith at this point.

I mean he already called the top, so his job is done. So maybe we just didn't know he called it long before we saw it.

Newbies bouncing from the thread after they realize the top is truly in...

[aboatguy]

Toppiest top is in

I'm certain Thorstache is watching and will return with more SAGE wisdom

However, here is some  to hold everyone over until  Thorstache returns

[BigMoneyJim]

Seriously, though, I really do feel sorry for you. You sound like an unhappy individual who with so little happiness in your life that you get absolutely fixated on a random online person. I was in that situation many years ago, and it's a very deep hole to climb out of. It's hard to get out of that hole on your own, so... get a dog? Try to make more real-life friends? Seek therapy?

It'll be okay, friend. Just please try to get a life, okay? Aaaand with that, I'm done with this thread. Have fun totally not violating the spam rules with your GIFs. :)

Cheers, y'all.

Catfight Top is in.

There are cats at the top after all.

[dandarc]

Cats fighting sometimes actually hurt each other. More like a goalie fight - looks kinda funny and no real risk to anyone.

And the top is conclusively in on goalie fights - this one's never gonna be out done:

[GuitarStv]

I always felt that goalies would be better served to keep their helmets on during the fight.

[MudPuppy]

But then how would they have an opportunity to bite?

[JJ-]

I always felt that goalies would be better served to keep their helmets on during the fight.

I once saw a fight between two american football players where one of them took off their helmet and yelled at the other "COME AT ME!" The other didn't take his helmet off.

Guess who won.

I'm guessing the one who took his helmet off won, but I also have terrible judgment and keep calling the top incorrectly.

The spectators won.

It DOW, SP500 and NASDAQ closed down.  The markets will never be this high again....................



Unless they close up tomorrow or in the future

[maizefolk]

S&P down 0.0011%. If it keeps up like this in a year only 99.7% of my portfolio will be left.. When will this horror end?

Sigh. I missed a couple of pages.

Nobody expects the Spanish inquisition top.

The out of the box answer is 100% correct.

Do you convert it to treasure first and then give it to a pirate for safe keeping? How exactly does this transaction happen? Do you need to know a pirate ahead of time?

Apparently you can also trade derivatives on pirate treasure - I’m not sure about puts, but booty calls seem to be very popular these days.

Pirate booty is going for about 0.72USD per single share.

45 minutes away from another top!

Top effective  workday length is in. First I work during the european hours than towards the end of the day the US investors / retail traders / call option buyers step in and continue working for me and making more money for me than I did earlier.

It's like working half day for twice the pay.
