• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

What is everyone investing in this year?

A different topic but maybe we can all share some helpful information with each other to better our future and get through the tough time ahead.
 
My portfolio looks really great with my stocks of guns and ammunition. :)
 
Thanks for sharing that link!
I-bonds do have some downsides. You can't cash them out for a year, and if you cash them out before five years you lose the prior quarter's interest.

The rate is tied to the CPI which is why it's so high now.
 
This year, I've been looking into a mix of stocks, real estate, and cryptocurrencies. The stock market has some solid opportunities, especially in tech and renewable energy. Real estate is always a stable choice, and there are some great deals out there if you look. Cryptocurrencies are risky but can have high rewards; I'm focusing on Bitcoin and Ethereum.

What about you all? What are you investing in to navigate the tough times ahead? Let's share some tips and ideas to help each other out!
I’m still putting heavy into an S&P 500 index fund. I did buy NVIDIA when they did a 10x split as well.
