Fun.



I don't think what happened is worthy of a class action lawsuit but I suppose if there is any proof that can be found that the leach pond failed due to negligence then maybe there is a case. Or if any insider trading happened within the exec board is what caused the stock to drop I suppose that could also be worthy? I don't really know the legalities of how this stuff works. Worth putting my name in either way so emailed them.

I will get $5 at some point in a few years if the lawsuit goes through.

Fingers crossed for July rate hike.
I'd give that a zero percent chance of happening. I'd actually go with negative percent chance if that was a thing.

1) The fed almost never acts in the heat of a presidential election.
2) The PCE is at 2.6% which is below average (3.24% from 1960 until 2024) but a bit above the fed's goals (2%). PCE has been falling for quite some time. That is no indication that their rates are too low. In fact, it is a good sign that their rates are doing what the fed wants.

Note: I'm not a CPA. But I am 90% confident that as long as they are in the same year, that you can just write "Various" under the lines like Date Acquired and Date Sold. Then lump these all into one line on Form 8949. Yes, you have to add up how much you spent and how much you sold it for, but your finances should be done in something like Excel that makes math like that simple.

For example, see here:
If you use a electronic tax app like H&R Block this is recommended in the help text. You classify it as VAR-S or VAR-L based on whether it is short term gains (or losses) versus long-term (i.e. >1 year). It greatly simplifies data entry and has the same result in taxes owed as listing every transaction individually.

Agreed. We've already gone from the low of 3.4% unemployment to 4.0% (1 month). If it stays 4% or higher for 2+ more months technically we have hit the Sahm rule and rate cuts will be more likely.

Amazon and Microsoft just keep on cruising to record highs.

At some point I need to start cashing out and move into Berkshire or EFT.

Those two are nearing 1/3 of my portfolio, awsome returns, just getting slightly out of balance.

Yikes Victoria Gold continues to drop. 85 cents lol.

No sense in selling though, just going to wait and see what happens. There's a chance this will not be the total end of the mine but it will set them back at least a year if more. They will most likely be fined, and then be required to do rehab work, and then repair everything so they can continue to operate. So all of that is going to cost 100's of millions.

Looks like they are pricing in big dilution or even bankruptcy. Looking at the figures on Yahoo, looks like 40m in cash and 240m in debt (6x debt to cash), a 3% profit margin, and a supposed book value over $8.

Book value is hard to trust in a bankruptcy scenario, a lesson I learned in the financial crises of 2007/2008. This assumes they file. If not, then some might lower their cost basis and average down but that is extremely risky as you might go to zero anyway. Been there, done that in 1998.😩

Yeah I have my hopes that they can recover but realistically I have a feeling they are going to file for bankruptcy. So the money I had in there is most likely a total loss. Well that's just the nature of the beast when dealing with stocks though. Been putting money into index funds for a bit now and slowly getting away from individual stocks.

Good luck on Victoria. If they only have the one mine, that's always on the risky side. Barrick seems to be making slow progress but gold has been up.

There seems to be some legit hope for a September rate cut.

With the jump in Tesla the past two days I tried to sell a covered call at market prices. The app shows 53 bids but the order hasn't executed in the last 30 mins. Problem on my bank's side?

oh nevermind, I see the market closed at 1PM today.
