I've shifted about $200K to be my "active" portfolio. Most picks going to be boom/bust and the likelyhood is high it blows up in my face. Will be documenting here for those who want to follow along.

I've been thinking about getting in this as a long term hold myself. This guy loves it.

Ehh, the problem at present is that we are still working off the excess inventory from earlier this year (which is what led to such staggering rates in the first place). Really need demand to come back and to see some scrapping occur. At this point I'm trying to figure out similar names I can roll into for awhile to at least get the tax loss benefits. Probably wait until after earnings.

I don't disagree that it's probably a buy here, but I wouldn't go by dividend yield. To get to $1.92 relies on rates that we are not presently seeing. Says the guy sitting on a $10K capital loss in tankers wondering what to do. smh

Only made it to 75 pushups. Also took a video (thus since deleted) showing my hilarious form - let's just say its not what you might see if you google "proper pushup form".

Incredible.

60 - 48 - 44 - 41 - 37 Completed after a full day of living life so I was fairly beat. Was relatively heartened at being able to finish the first set. I wonder if Amazon Prime has some NO XPLOD that could get here before Wednesday. Couple scoops of that before attempting the 100 would surely work in my favor.

Finished week 6 day 3 of the push up program. Form was....not great toward the end, but finished all the sets. Will probably take tomorrow & Tuesday off and then go for the hundo on Wednesday. I'd say maybe a 10% chance I can do it, but that's a lot higher than when I started this thing. Haven't been doing much cardio outside of 'living life' which is hopefully good enough for awhile - shall see how the weigh-in Wednesdays progress.

I'm hovering around 232-235 right now. Ordered a peloton which will be arriving early November and should help through the winter months. Going to keep eating mostly whatever I want unless I find myself back over 235 - in which case I'll pull it back. Ultimately 225 is the goal, but not feeling like doing what it takes on the diet front to make that happen - perhaps post pandemic.

My wife after I bragged about this: "you don't look stronger". smh.

Week 5 day 3: Set 1 47: Done. One minute into 3 minutes of rest and still breathing somewhat heavily, but feeling most excellent about how I was able to crank them out. Set 2 38: Done. Started feeling it a bit around 30, but didn't adjust pace or anything. Of note, I likely A) go to fast and B) don't go down far enough, sue me. Have a couple old shoulder/collarbone injuries whereby getting nose all the way to the floor doesn't feel great. 1:30 left of rest, lessgo. Set 3 34: Oof. Last 4 were tough. Found myself thinking most about BostonFred and if I was breathing right. Decided y'all be overthinking it. Also chuckled at trying to automate how many I was doing. Counting ain't that hard. Two more sets. Bit nervous - 4th one is usually where I hit a bit of a wall. Set 4 33: Boom. Took slightly over 3 minutes rest in order to find the proper track. "Call Me" by shinedown. Not bad. One more. 30 is the goal. Boss just called - might get more rest here Set 5 29+: Twenty minute phone call so should have some juice left. Hoping for 40. Update: 50.

Melting down

I might end up losing my money and being sad, but following Twitter for this has been great entertainment.

I'd hope it would be, right? Given the safety profile (would be different, to me, if it didn't have a track record of safety outside of these trials) and this efficacy it seems like a no brainer. Especially considering the alternatives.

Finally pulled the trigger after being on the fence for awhile. Getting bored of rowing and figure if I'm going to invest in something - might as well be my health. Went with the basic model instead of the plus. 0% financing over like 39 months or something so don't think I'll notice the $50 for the bike plus $40 for the app too much. Used discount to get some shoes - now just have to get the mat and should be all set.
