The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

Met with my sponsor at a coffeeshop downtown tonight, but it was packed, so we ended up going to this fancy-ass Russian restaurant down the road that had amazing borscht. Then we went to the meeting, and I had a weird sort of a-ha moment there. Came home, read a bunch of stories from the big book, and concluded that I'm even crazier than I thought.

Currently listening to 2000s era Steely Dan for the umpteenth time this past month. No work or appointments tomorrow, so I think I'll stay up late tonight watching American Horror Story.
 
Stoned listening to Blind Guardian and drinking a Green Flash trippel. on my Friday. Pants are on though, maybe once it warms up
 
It's both obviously. I'd rather have a great job with shitty coworkers. Right now I have a shitty job with shitty coworkers.

High risk mutual funds aren't shit. You want some real risk? Derivatives trading.

My self destruction tendencies are tingling. From what my advisor tells me though, this mutual fund is financially feasible for someone young and not 100% established like myself. From that dummy's guide to derivatives, seems like you can't get into it without a decent amount of starter capital. It also seems more personal, like something a normal brokerage firm wouldn't dabble in. Definitely gonna ask about it tomorrow.
 
I still won't touch the stock market with my ten foot pole, as they say. The entire economy is compromised. I'd rather buy concrete assets than some paper that someone else holds that a billion other people are valuing based on what a handful of people are doing.

The Stock market is risky, but that's the price you pay for the potential reward. You're essentially gambling on people.

Granted, in light of the Swiss Franc chaos that's going on, I do believe having a huge global forex market is like a ridiculous casino for bankers that destabilizes the economy without adding any value to it.

in a universe of options that only includes the dollar and euro, the dollar wins.

But if you expand that universe even a little bit to include the Swiss franc, suddenly the real truth comes out.

Investors have far more confidence in Switzerland than the United States. They’d rather hold francs.
