So you like gambling? The stock market is the biggest casino in the world - crypto is just a new kid on the block.

I got some stimulus money because I'm a poor college student living below the poverty line so I put the "free" money into a separate brokerage account for my kids (separate from their other college accounts for tax purposes). Try to teach them the value of investing and compound interest and all that s#it.

Right now I pretty much just did a boring old 3 fund Boglehead thingy: https://www.optimizedportfolio.com/bogleheads-3-fund-portfolio/. Safe and steady growth with no thinking about it. This is probably what your standard 401(k) looks like with some adjustments on the % depending on your age and target retirement age. (side note: Frank's 401(k) is most likely in the form of rocks and papyrus, Jonsie's is in rusted metal and used scratch tickets).

But the kids are young and can take the risk of going extreme. I'm thinking putting the pedal to the metal and doing the Hedgefundies excellent adventure strategy... https://www.optimizedportfolio.com/hedgefundie-adventure/

A little bit hesitant to pull the trigger but it would be an interesting ride. The numbers and back test says it will beat the market in the long term although it will be a bumpy ride along the way https://tinyurl.com/rjunh4v4

No pain, no gain.

Le HockeyDad denied my request to buy into the torches and pitchforks racket he's running so if the market does a 1929, I'll blame him.

Didn’t know you played tennis!

Maybe one day we (...you, Delta and me...) find a 4th and play some crippled old men doubles. ‘Course only Al and I are in the Social Security bracket so maybe won’t be totally old men.

And truth be told, I haven’t picked up a racket in about 9 years.

Lemme explain how my night went... I hurt my ankle lightly jogging after an errant ball... I jumped about 2 inches off the ground and hurt my back... and then I topped the night off by smashing my racket into my left index finger while swinging at and missing a ball...

You deserve a brand new truck with all the problems you have been having and p.o.s. you have put up with for too long.

Welcome back to Monday fellas

Sheesh, who’s the old man now? [gonzo]

Hope nothing serious though.

If I could afford a new one, with my luck it'll still be a lemon.

Hope issue get resolved.

Just called them as I was walking into menards to buy a new garage door opener.

They got it checked in, but won't get it in a bay today.

Tiny dealership, wasn't expecting a quick turnaround.

Oy vey...........

Keep us posted, hopefully issue will finally be resolved.
