    Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?

    GOLD! HOT! CHAT 
    Last week: Dropped in on a local manufacturing business that I scoped out and visited a few years ago, but this time I managed to catch the primary owner and he's willing to talk about selling. Said he'd put some numbers together and get them to me shortly. We also talked about other local...

    Remember William Tell! I was aware of the risk. I focused on what I wanted to hit and got lucky. I hope to do the same in business.

    Cleared a tree off the trail, and it made too good a target to not give it a throw. Good times!

    Because there are limits and diminishing returns. Why not buy $10,000 in fb ads? $100k? $1,000,000?

    Maybe their official policy bans contact with us, and it's just a few random outlaws that make the trip without official support. Like when missionaries illegally visit "uncontacted" island tribes and get killed.

    Listening to kids today and their cotton-picking slang has me lost as a goose in a hailstorm.

    That's a nice looking graph but I'm skeptical of it's validity. Source? Almost all of my gym injuries happened while pushing volume, not weight. The biggest factor is maintaining proper form. Do that, and know how to fail the lift, and risk is minimal. I find it's easier to focus and maintain...

    I read an explanation that we're seeing much more rapid change between age groups (ie, my early-gen Z son finds my daughter's late-gen Z trends quite weird) now because age groups are incredibly isolated. They're isolated not only by grade but with social media. This allows them to develop their...

    Soft, lightweight running shoes aren't going to last long loaded like that. If that's what you need for comfort then expect to replace them frequently. A serious hiking boot would be a better match for what you're doing.

    Seeing LOTS of "recession is canceled" headlines now. When pop media all reports the same market sentiment it's time to look for the opposite. I'm looking for a pullback.

    Bots that lose money get shut down. I'm just describing the probabilistic distribution of returns for the strategy you described. It will tend to make a lot of small-profit trades, with occasional big losses. Done right it can be a winning strategy for sure. Just don't conclude it's a good...

    It's disrespectful to keep going on about it here. There's a time a place for discussing everything and it has been made perfectly clear that this isn't the place for it. There are PLENTY of other places online to freely discuss these things. Yelling "free speech" and "what about the children"...

    Test it. You can automate back-testing a clearly-defined strategy to generate performance statistics. Or at least try paper trading, but a lot of strategies like you just described tend to work well for a while and then lose a bunch. What you described is just momentum trading and there are...
