Individual investors are free from all of these limitations. However, they're not free from having to do real homework on the companies they want to invest in or are already invested, understanding their business, product, financial statements (being able to read income statements and balance sheets, taking time to do so and draw their own conclusions about the business). Show me people who actually do that. Watching CNBC shows with people peddling ideas (and mostly their own image) and telling you should buy this or sell that could count as a small portion of such homework, but many stop there. Then we have now a new "Robinhood investors", who can't tell the difference between stocks and bond and think market is an iphone game where Tesla always goes up and buying shares of Hertz after it declared bankruptcy will somehow make you rich.

I have a friend who makes money....his retirement income from buying and selling stocks. One day he lost $20000 and was a bit down....I would have been depressed, but he gets it, the day before he made $30000 so he just accepts that is the way it is. I couldn't do that. He gets up at 4 a.m. to study the overseas markets and is on his phone buying and selling a few times a day.....I'd rather play tennis or pickleball.

There’s some wisdom to using nature’s clock to schedule things. I’m sure you’ve heard the rule to plant corn when oak tree leaves are as big as a squirrel’s ear.

Maybe that would be a good investment, stock up on paper towels.
We still have about 8 packages of T-paper around....just in case

On a different note, I heard a great explanation why TP and towels always go first. They are bulky items, so you see very quickly when the shelf gets empty. Others see it, think they must have it, too. Then the shelves go empty, but the replenishment is not scheduled for days and when it comes it's small amounts, as these manufacturers have logistics set up for normal times, when they know almost exactly how much they'll sell months in advance. Suddenly Drivers of this world start hoarding worrying...

It is probably out of stock in most stores by now....so driver may have to buy cheap napkins in extra large quantities. Paper towels are not as big a necessity as T-paper.

Anyway, one Saturday I’m standing in a long checkout line at a big drug/food/cosmetics store. The lineups were always bad there but this day they were really busy. Up ahead I saw why: a couple with 2 shopping carts full of paper products and other stuff that was on promo, with the coupon lady and her husband rifling though a couple of big expanding file folders stuffed with coupons. It was her. Oh, great. No wonder the line was not moving. A while later my acquaintance sent me a pic that was making the rounds of the TV station that showed the inside of her garage. It had shelves along the walls with a double-wide central shelving unit down the middle. It was stuffed to the rafters with merchandise, a lot of it paper products but also stuff that often went on sale like PB, laundry products or canned goods, more than they could ever possibly use. Unreal.
Thankfully she was dropped from the news show after a few months.

First the Volvo sunroof (see posts in CCBA)
Second my over the counter microwave blew up. All appliances have to be working for the home sale and the buyer’s inspection is early next week
I get the old one down, run to Home Depot. They don’t have any cheap ones in stock but did have a $500 GE floor model for $217. Sold.
Get home mount the backing plate. Go to the unit and pull the blocking plate off the back and no rear exhaust. Ugh. Back to the store it goes tomorrow.
Looks like Lowe’s has a rear exhaust Samsung in stock.

what date is closing?
2020 Acura RDX tech SH-AWD, 2023 Maverick hybrid Lariat luxury package.
We are closing on Oct 29th for the old home and the 30th for the new. It adds about $300 to the cost of the movers but worth it IMO.
We need to settle on ours first for the down payment.

Ended up finding one on eBay. $700 later for the fixture and we closed.

Given that our property appreciated 52% in the time we owned it, you better believe I didn’t even blink when I found the faucet. No chance was I risking the deal.
The times I've lost money is when I went off on my own (although I've made money doing that, too). He's done well for himself. And, he's a major reason I've been able to just chuck it all during this COVID Pandemic and resign/retire from my former career and live quite comfortably. Aside from my girlfriend, he knows details about me that many would like to know, but never will!
"Then we have now a new "Robinhood investors", who can't tell the difference between stocks and bond and think market is an iphone game where Tesla always goes up and buying shares of Hertz after it declared bankruptcy will somehow make you rich."
It really is hard to understand why things like that always seem to happen when people know that it will never turn out well.
"Kmart’s stock price broke the dollar barrier for the first time since the bankruptcy filing Tuesday (January 22, 2002), rising 31 cents, or 34%, to close at $1.23 per share."
"When the company emerged from Ch. 11 on May 6, 2003 the previously issued common stock was cancelled and, as such, trading has ceased," Kmart KMRT said."

I looked to my right at the on ramp and saw someone in an old Lexus coming up the ramp. There was nobody behind me for 10 -20 car lengths or more so I figured he would just slide in behind me since I couldn't move over to the left lane.
Wrong! He kept coming, passed me on the right, partially on the shoulder as we were leaving the gore area. Then he cut in front of me, between me and the SUV I was following, then in front of the LLC.
The only problem he had was the car 10 -20 car lengths behind me was a State Trooper. His lights came on immediately...lol.

My idea is to have unmarked cars on the road with dashcams. Deputies would travel the roads and take video and mark bad drivers....time of the infraction. Drivers (at least the owner of a car) who are caught driving erratically get a $500 ticket. That would stop a lot of bad driving.

I particularly remember the garage door motor/opener ($$$) and the garbage disposal in the kitchen sink being dead on arrival ($$).
I've had lousy agents. I wish the real estate market for scam artist agents wasn't so strong with the political lobby support so home sales could go more TESLA like.
Basically covering most of the repairs.

Wouldn't that have sucked as I just got the Enclave back from the body shop!

It's the side trim that has the gasket to seal out the wind.
Gaskets on the lower end of 2 of the doors are worn out after 20+ years.
Just about all of the stores listed what I was looking for as in stock with the number of them.
The one I found it at, I was the only Caucasian person in the store.
When I got out of my car, another guy getting out of his, looked at me and thought about getting back in.
Got a lot of looks in the store, too.
It's unfortunate things are so awkward.
