Hey Nerds: Blockchain

yeah...whenever I catch myself regretting not nailing the top or bottom, I give my head a shake and realize it's just my ego talking....good money can be made grabbing nice chunks in the middle

Nah my success is based around luck. My house has seen 500% gains in just over a decade... The problem is I have to live in the thing. It's "worth" doesn't really impact my life so I'm all talk. I much prefer the gains from the rent and dumping buckets into the market from 2009 onward. ALL IN BABY. The way to go.

The rice cooker, on the other hand, was a purchase made by an entitled, privileged white jackass for no real reason. The entitled white jackass was, however, shocked that he has enjoyed it as much as he has. He truly felt it was a pointless buy but he was incorrect in the end.

I went all-in in 2009 after buying a house in 2008 in what was the luckiest sequence of events in the history of Preston.

You did great on the house and should be ok on the investment side unless you were all in pot and didnt bail
 
I tell everyone I know you bought your house with a downpayment accumulated from churning credit card welcome points.

My RRSP is entirely funded and maxed out by churning. The house was from work and fully paid off years ago thanks to rent + work.

Play money in pot and made about 100% total after a couple euphoria/despair cycles and left a fuckton more on the table. I wish I went all in. But yeah, pretty much all-in on VUN/VTI since 2009. Of course my original 2009 investment wasn't overly substantial, but dumped more and more to the pile semi-annually. It was luck btw. Boomers who bought houses from 2000-2010 and brag about being geniuses are the worst. They got lucky. I got lucky.

that's amazing. I hope Amex doesn't come after you and seize your property. I read it in their Terms and Conditions (that's how much time I have these days)

Hey I sell Aeroplan miles, not Amex points!



*Just don't look at the Aeroplan terms*
 
Needless to say, Covid has destroyed my churning game. My manufactured spending technique relies entirely on doing some things that require going out. So I'm taking a break this year it looks like. Plus, who the fuck is buying Aeroplan points these days? Good thing I only have about 30,000 miles in my account. I JUST sold a fuckton before this happened, much of which I bought VTI in tranches in the original market clusterfuck.

Nasdaq wants to go red.

My SBUX lotto puts I bought earlier doubled so I'm taking half off and letting the rest ride --- Free Lotto Play!!
 
Just took a quick gander at Amazon's chart and started wondering why they're crushing it.


And then I remembered my white privileged, usually cheap ass bought shit from there for no real reason yesterday. A straight up bunch of useless shit that I bought out of boredom including a mother fucking 22 inch griddle. Why? There's 2 adults in my house. I have 2 ovens, a bbq, a perfectly functioning stove and now I need a 22 inch griddle? Am I running a fucking restaurant? Or do I just want to play pretend? I need answers.


Anyway the point is.. Based on anecdotal experience, it seems like everyone is anxiously shopping on Amazon these days. Good for them.
 
If you're open, you're doing well. Walmart also made all time highs.
 
market has been too quiet the last hour --- do or die time. Just have runners on at this point. Fridays are for winding down.

Amazon, meal kits and online weed means you never need to leave your house again.

Pretty much everyone that’s still open is delivering now too.

So far, I’ve had stuff dropped off at my front door by the pet store I buy my dog’s food from, a little cheese shop in the neighbourhood, my butcher.

All I need to do is find someone who delivers fresh fruit & veggies to my front door, and I won’t even have to make my bi-weekly visit to the grocery store.

By now Aeroplan has a big poster of Preston and his account data in their war room with GET THIS MOTHERFUCKER written across his face in red
