@Invest_Brandon One more thing, because equity selection matters, and you could have picked well: last 'bear market' (2022) recovered in 2 years. However, the post-financial crisis bear took 5.5 years, and post-dotcom took over 7 years. That's how long it would have taken you to get back to b/e
@Invest_Brandon Awesome! I have a few words for you though (well, technically, tickers):
IPET, WBVN, ETYS, ATHM, WCOM, GX... And who can forget ENE!
Or, a bit more recently, because you may not be old enough to remember those, LEH, WM, IMB, 'old' GM, NEWC, TMA, AHM, LEND, CNB, CORS, DSL...
@Invest_Brandon Also, 'portfolio-secured puts'? Seriously, you can come up with any kind of fancy name you want, that's just margin-secured put. If you don't believe me, have a cash account, hold equities in it with zero cash, and try to sell puts, see what happensπ€·π»ββοΈ
@Invest_Brandon But, it doesn't have to be all doom and gloom, it doesn't have to be a complete wipeout, there's also stuff like BSC and WB π€·π»ββοΈ
@Freomental@vera_v15 The actual Vera Banks, she has a TikTok and Instagram (compliments of Google image search... don't judge me, I'm autistic, so I latch on something and do stuff like this)
@damintoell 'single' with a wedding ring... Professional artist and graphics designer with enough time to be a highly decorated military officer, in 'about 25 years' of her life
@paulinaplazas@SammyObeid Oh yeah, I was in my 40s when I learned that 'aunt' (and her kids, whom I grew up thinking of as cousins) was an 'aunt' because her house was closer to school than my dad's, so he'd stay there in the winter rather than trek 10 miles through snow. No blood relation whatsoever π
@SammyObeid Serbia reporting. And first (and second) cousins are 'brothers and sisters' (of an aunt or uncle), and parents' cousins are aunts and uncles. We do have different terminology for mother's or father's side, but yeah, aunts and uncles anywhere you look!
@InternetH0F Imagine me as a teen girl in the late 80s, early 90s, crazy about Madonna. Every word of every song, every dance move from her MTV videos. Her real name Marie Louise Veronica Ciccone. Now imagine me as an adult finding out her 'real name' 'is' Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone...
@RealMcCoy2008@Bubola@dantypo Same here, except my it was my mom's Accord! Got her the 'fancy' activated charcoal filter on Amazon for like $15, took 5 minutes to change. Oh, and silicone windshield wipers for like $20, took a minute to change!
@GenX4America@dantypo This was long before YouTube - washing machine sprung a leak. Called the fix-it man, he said no can fix, need a new washer. Being a broke student, I looked at it, took the hose off and went to Home Depot. $10 for the hose. Moved out 5 years later, washer still worked π€·π»ββοΈ
