Let me tell you about spending ~ 40k on a motorcycle that I barely used since 2008 instead of putting the money in the stock market.

Haifisch posted:I lost my entire savings ($10,000) trying to buy the dip from the stock market today. He got hosed, but he says he normally saves $1k/month for fun purchases. I'm guessing that he could do even better if he were being frugal. He could be caught up in no time. The real question is whether he will be any wiser thr next time he thinks he smells easy money on the market...

Palladium posted:It's basically pro sports but without the massive payouts that pro sportsmen actually get out of the astronomically low chance if they become big stars. It depends entirely on the viewership you get and how you leverage that. Someone who gets like 300 viewers a day probably makes somewhere in the realm of $3k a month between ad revenue, subscription money, sponsor money and affiliate links. The higher your viewership the more likely you are to get noticed by people just scrolling through the list, which turns into more viewers and more subs/donations. I think it's way more lucrative to be a Livestreamer than it is to be a YouTuber, simply because the number of revenue streams at your disposal is much higher. Add on to the fact that most of the "expenses" these guys have are things they likely had already (pc, mic, internet, gaming console). The biggest barrier to entry these guys face is simply getting the audience, because it's a lot harder to get discovered on twitch than it is on yt, since there is no metadata system to game for views

XIV just sounds like an option or synthetic option. I'll have to look into it when I'm not at work but if it's a derivative of a derivative I'd be pretty impressed. I wonder people feel about having large chunks of their net worth suddenly disappearing. e: I know there's a lot of leveraged funds out there so I'm wondering what other dodgy ETFs will explode this year.

It's really weird to me how many 'articles' are just a YouTube clip or forum post, or better yet a handful of embedded tweets. I guess that's GWM because you save on actually creating content

On the way to work there's a left turn I have to make through a poorly designed intersection with no dedicated turn lights or lanes. Sometimes only one or two cars can make it through in a cycle which shits the lane up for everybody. I started avoid the left turn entirely by driving through some company's parking lot. It's longer but lets me drive through rather than turn at the same intersection, so it's usually a lot quicker. Last winter I hit a curb or something buried in the snow and had to replace a rim that got hosed up. Today I did it again. BWM: spending $400 in wheels to save a couple minutes a day

I can't figure it out either. It sounds like its literally gambling on the volatility in the market which might as well just be gambling on the weather in Bosnia. It can't be that can it? And then who is taking the other side of these bets? Are any assets held at all?
