Foreigners do their dates all funny-like.5 points

I think there should be a warning / sticky just to remind people to please not to take investment advice from a random people on the Internet, as most people only talk about the wins and never the losses. Need to remember that technically can't give out investment advice unless you are regulated (FCA in UK). I've seen too many horror stories of people going all in on a single stock / share just because they heard of the "mad gainz" from someone on FB / insta etc. Keep it slow and steady, have a emergency fund of 3 to 6 months savings, invest only what you can afford to lose, and if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.5 points

This is the way I store all files. Then I force everyone I work with to do the same thing. They all resist at first but eventually, they see the light. lol4 points

For the record, the correct way to do dates is yyyymmdd, because that sorts the same chronologically as well as alphabetically.4 points

My 4 year old nephew asked for a LEGO Wayza Quest this Christmas. I told him I would sell one of mine for the bargain price of $250 cash because he was family. In other news, LEGO Shop at Home restocked some good Friends & HP sets that were unavailable for most of holiday GWP season.4 points

I tried to not comment on it, but this annoys me and was therapeutic to post. So be it, when it gets deleted. Edit to add: I've missed out on US deals for 10 months and I'm bitter.4 points

DIS, F, MGM, BAC, GLW all purchased in March/April of last year. New money goes to F, KIM and CMA on a quarterly basis in the second half of the year. Starting to look for Dividend pays with KIM and CMA while F is a long term purchase I add to occasionally with believe that the div will be restored. This is me - your investment needs and strategy are different and this is play around cash. My bigger money (retirement) is in target aged funds and index mutual funds and I do not touch those funds for individual stock purchase. I am fifty plus so I am starting to look at retirement 10 to 12 years from now. I am starting to look for div pays of solid stocks I know that pay 3% plus because I want that to supplement retirement income in a decade plus. I work with an advisor on my Mom's portfolio and steal some ideas from them for me. I work for an S and P 500 listed company and get regular stock purchases and allocations so I make sure i pull those funds when they mature and invest in other things to diversify. My employer is a tech company and represents 30-40% of my net wealth in a single stock. This is why my individual stocks listed are not tech stocks. My exposure is way too high to tech between my employer and index funds so my strategy is to put cash in other sectors. As I said, my strategy is based on my needs.,3 points

Note: Invest at your own risk. Do you own homework before buying / selling. Don’t assume advice posted here is financially sound. Wanted to create an investment thread about stocks and how market conditions can impact those investments. Thought about creating one in 2020 but with COVID & other items going on, I didn’t. Instead, I posted in a similar thread on another non-investing web site. Posts can include topics relating to individual securities : stocks, bonds, options, indices, & ETFs. Sharing informative links encourage. Please DON’T get political or posts will be removed.2 points

Eh, it's current events. I personally see myself as neutral of this situation, and really wish people would act with a certain amount of respect towards others, REGARDLESS of political affiliation. I realize it requires a certain amount of EQ, but I'm hopeful calm will persevere eventually.2 points

I think what some people fail to get is that end of the day Lego is a business. I'm sure the designers would love to create 5000+ piece MOC's using rare colours / moulds etc, but from a business and logistical standpointbthis isn't possible. The bean counters will impose a max set price / piece count / new parts and colours etc / impact of production upon other sets. I still think its amazing that lego even offers an Ideas platform, and that people have a chance to say their idea is now available to buy at every lego shop in the world.2 points

I love Lowenstein but the scale will be a little off next to blacksmith's hut. Lowenstein had to keep under 2,000 pieces and had very little interior space. I built mine plus the expansion and loved it, but the mill and medieval village does look a little too large next to it. It does serve as a very nice background though! No doubt this hut will have more interior space than Lowenstein. I'd post a pic but Imgur is currently down.1 point

Finally got around to listing some of my sealed CMF's for sale on eBay back in August. I have 30+ series 13 unicorn girls and hot dog guys each along with other series. Yeah, I was that creepy guy feeling up figures in Target. I don't have a 16 pocket apron though. Sold quite a few during the holidays and just sold a sealed series 10 bumblebee girl for $40 and two sealed Medusa's for $20 each today. Need to to find time to list more. Edit: So one buyer bought a sealed S10 Bumblebee Girl, sealed S10 Medusa, and sealed S12 Piggy Suit Guy from me for $70 shipped. I relisted them all (since I have multiples) and he bought another Bumblebee Girl from me for $40. Buyer is in NH and has an Asian name. I wonder if he's a freight forwarder? jakemuller Xu 3 Bud Way Ste 30 nashua, NH 03063-1700 United States1 point

$50 if you buy directly from USPS. It is up to $100 if you buy the shipping label from eBay.1 point

My mindset of the Ideas line is pretty much the equivalent to automotive Concept Cars. We are shown a wildly outlandish-for-production submission to get the people talking. And then the production version is tamed down, made to work with manufacturing and profit goals and appeal to the general public, not only in looks but also in price.1 point
