I actually sold some QQQE today so I could buy another 1000 shares of ZOM. It's a $10 stonk down the road easy. Rumor has it $6 by end of March. [Reply]

Virtually all of my investments are tied up in a variety of things but I have fun gambling a few dollars on penny stocks that I think have a shot at going to $1.00 or more. It’s cheap and fun and one day one may hit and make 100 or more times my investment. Once I buy one I don’t sell it and I buy100 dollars worth of it. Most of these stocks are .00xx or even cheaper so I usually end up with 10000 or more stocks. It’s fun and I enjoy the research. Anyway I ran across something interesting on reddit and would be interested in your thoughts....

No question that he has played the game well. [Reply]

Ebon, been researching them all day. Kicking ass and plenty of room to grow. Bitcoin mining equipment and setting up their own farm. Crypto is going to be huge this year. [Reply]

WOW, I feel like a fool! I thought I knew it all about mortgages and financing property but I was just awakened after talking with my banker. Let this be a lesson for everybody.
So, since I'm stuck in the house with too much time on my hands and go into my mortgage accounts to review payment historys.
I have 3 mortgages with 30 year/5 yr arms. When I originally took these out I planned to make extra principal payments to get them to 15 year loans which is what I did for the first 5 years on each account. All my other mortgages I've always done 15 yr/5 yr arms.
So in reviewing a property I bought in 2013 I noticed the principal portion of my payment dropped from $379 down to $119 the following month at the 5 yr mark. So then I look at a property I bought in 2009 and same thing when it adjusted in 2014 and same thing when it adjusted in 2019. And sfter the first 5 year marks I had quit making additional principal payments because I had paid enough EXTRA to knock out 15 years.
So I just called my banker and questioned what was going on and he explains to me that when it adjusts the bank system says this is a 30 yr note so it adjusts it back to the balance of years (which basically just reduces your principal each month.
So the bottom line is a 30 year loan is a 30 year loan unless you have the ability to pay it in full at some point. I've never seen this discussed or explained , EVER . And I've read tons of books and info.
This really makes me upset because I thought I knew it all.
So , In hindsight the problem lies in having a 5yr ARM instead of a fixed loan for the whole term it appears. [Reply]
