Some vehicles have a sensor that squeaks when the pads get low, could be that.

Thanks... I would assume it’s a break issue, since when I apply them it goes away completely, if it was something else, wouldn’t be able to isolate it like that.

Very annoying for sure. I’m going to have my brother look at them this weekend to see if I need to schedule a pad replacement

Just don't wait too long, that sensors is telling you get your ass to the garage, if you wait too long you may have a rotor problem, that gets expensive.

^Yep.. most likely the brake pad indicators close to touching the rotor .

Word just happened to me a couple weeks ago. Every time I touched the brakes it stopped ... but within a moment or two it started singin again.  Standard brake pad maintenance did the trick. 

the only difference is ... I don’t drive a truck. But the mechanics of braking -

I bought XLM at 40 cents last weekend. Sitting at 66 cents now. Put 3k into it, so almost at $5k just in my XLM. Really tempted to take the profit and reinvest at next dip lol

Nice work man 

I loaded up on KLIC (semiconductor) had great earnings yesterday and it tanked today 14% by 2pm when I bought , the options finished up 20% 

that sector was on fire thru April , and has taken a hit last two weeks , to the point many companies beat earnings, guided nicely and fell 5-10-%, so I’m tempted to make this mostly a quick flip

Agreed. Unless I was dropping like 10k into one of them, where the incentive was higher to cash in a quick 2-4k on a given day. I chose the 4 coins/operations that I could afford that I believe will be around in 5 years. I mean it's not like I'm dropping 1k on CumRocket or Pancake 

Exactlty. GL.

Anyone here familiar with cars? My truck started a hellacious sounding squeak tonight and it happens while driving. As soon as I even do much as lightly tap the brakes, it stops.

 

Brake pads?

A locked brake?  Belts and pulleys can also squeal hard.

Gonna end with a bang at some point.

I told my financial guy today I don't trust much of anything going on right now. I am naturally paranoid, however. He has me in a pretty conservative position; I just need 4-5% yearly return to provide what I am looking for right now. I take all my risks in the business where returns are more tangible, and I understand the risks better.

It all feels like a casino to me. I may take a look after the next inevitable collapse. Right now, it feels like buying a penthouse apartment when the bottom floors are already ablaze.

I do have like 200k to drop into a good idea if anyone has one, though. I will give you 10% of lifetime profits. :)

Invest in dewcoin?

That was quick and easy.  Everyone knows a good idea when they see it.  DewCoin brand logo will be an outline of DIT standing up with his couch stuck to him from swamp ass.

We tried the coins back in 2017, but it's too ephemeral for me and my wife. I guess if I had held back then I might be a billionaire now. I haven't gone back to check.

We like to invest in real things, either houses/buildings or businesses where real people are running around doing real things. We are kind of old-school like that. We both think a partial societal collapse is possible in the next 10 years so that keeps us pretty conservative. I feel like the last thing a new totalitarian regime will attempt to seize will be property. That's only after they have liquidated all bank accounts and closed the stock market -- the easy stuff.

Likely past the worst of it and things will be fine through the fall.  Next winter there could be some issues when we head back inside and seasonality trends kick in.....however many will be fully vaccinated by then so who knows...one would think this thing eventually burns out one way or the other

Cathy W continued to sell her higher quality liquid companies to double down on the highly illiquid crap she's been accumulating. Could get interesting if real selling pressure comes in in the coming weeks.

ARKK is now below it’s 200 day M.A. 

Prices for those “growth” stocks have fallen 30-45% and still not much buying interest 

Solar has been getting hammered in a similar fashion 

The Dow and especially the boring Dow Transports Ho Hum continue to move up every single day and haven’t had much of a small pullback in several months 

Hedge funds as net sellers of stocks has increased to only be outdone by 2008 levels , I’m not sure if it’s margin calls , “Sell in May /Booking profits “ but those crowded long positions have unwound and resulted in many hedge fund favorites falling 25-50% last two months .

Last month , Blackrock’s Rick Reider says they are sitting on their highest Relative allocation of Cash (perhaps ever ) And waiting for more stocks falling hard as more hedge funds are so levered and will be unloading Or going the way of Archegos

Here is a solid article on Hedge fund issues being more systematic then a Archegos (one off collapse) . Article argues they were just the first and most reckless
