TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some vehicles have a sensor that squeaks when the pads get low, could be that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoth Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 For those who are interested, Jeff Gundlach was spitting fire in this address. Really lays out all the distortions of our economy today and the impending challenges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 - 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 .
