    I think silver is the poor man's gold. I've got a few hundred coins (ounces) and most recently bought at $27. Good timing on that one. Most of my physical was bought in the low 20s. I still have cash set aside just to buy silver or crypto if it dips way down again.

    I'm not what I'd consider an investor at all. While I buy "some" crypto, I just don't believe the dollar will last. It's a leaf slowly falling to the ground. What "cash" I have, is physical. When I'm ready to buy something, I go deposit it and buy.

    The paranoid survive, and I'm slightly paranoid. :D

    I'm having some existential questions about what to do with Uber. Not sure there's any reason why it should go much higher anytime soon but for some reason, I don't really want to sell it either. I'm far less attached to Lyft, which I've been in and out of a few times.

    I accepted that I missed the META ride when I sold it after doubling my money. I never got tempted again. I don't like to get back into things after missing what I think was the entry point. Completely irrational, as you can argue that any point where it's going to keep going up is a good entry point, but that's how it is. I just sit here, mad that I let one go. :D

    I'm not crying, though. Uber is +225% and Lyft is +50% in 3 months.

    Too bad I didn't pay attention the day you were buying those, and paid attention the day you bought BABA.:D On the same day I bought BABA I also bought AMZN and it is up 32.67% or $8,201.

    I just looked and I bought those August of 22. Over 2 years to make much less versus what you did in 3 months!!! Great job.

    BABA I put in 25k and pulled out 30K= 5k profit. Same 25k in Uber would have been a $62,500 profit.

    You ready for me to give you a small amount and you have fun doing whatever you are with your money. NO harm no foul, hopefully it goes up, but if not, them's the brakes. Even in Lyft I would have made $12,500.

    Nope. I ain't touching your money. I have plenty of losses too. I'll gladly let you know when I buy something but it will be your trigger to pull.

    And your problem is not listening when I tell you to GTFO. :Poke::D

    5.54 right now. Not sure when you will or ever see 3.50 again. If it does, I suggest you load up.

    Has anyone on here invested in a REIT that's based on a crowd-sourced investment?

    Seems like an easy way to set up a huge ponzi scheme....

    Is it regulated like a REIT? Doubtful.

    @thrak410 I agree on the surface it looks pretty easy to set up ponzi.
    @YamahaRick It's probably not regulated in the same way true REITs are.

    I'm skeptical, but wanted to know if anyone had any direct interaction with Ark specifically, or something similar.

    I'm willing to take a section of money in my 401k or regular account and follow your moves. You are definitely better than I am. It would be fun to see what happens. If I get the results you have been getting, I see some more fun car buys in my future. LOLOLOL
