A trade deal may improve sentiment and give the market a quick push, but one announcement alone can’t sustain a long rally. For a real bull run, we need: • Strong company earnings • Reasonable valuations • Consistent FII buying These are the real drivers of long-term growth. Also, opening our market more to the US could benefit some sectors, but it might hurt certain domestic companies in the long run. And let’s be honest - Trump is unpredictable. Even if we get a trade deal today, policies can change anytime, and new tariffs or conditions can be added overnight. So the real question is: Is this sustainable growth or just temporary excitement? Only earnings, valuations, ...

I was idly thinking of bubble wealth vs real wealth. I'd define bubble wealth to be perceived wealth based on non-producing assets without an underlying, historical, or productive market value. Bubble wealth is held up by faith alone, can collapse when the faith vanishes, with nobody willing to scoop up bargains after a collapse. In fact, there's no concept of a 'bargain' for a bubble commodity. Once the faith is gone, the value is gone. Real wealth examples: * real estate that people live in, using money from jobs. Or functioning commercial real estate. * stocks with a historically non-insane PE (say, less than 25 or 30). Yes, there's an exception for genui...

I'm going to make it as short as possible. I also made this throwaway just for this. Wife asked a couple years ago about the idea of "opening." I didn't shoot it down, but was very skeptical. Well 8 months ago we took the plunge. I knew what it looked like for guys, but I guess we all just think it'll be different for us, and I did too. Well it isn't different. It's been a disheartening and awful experience for me. Six months of nothing shattered my confidence. The last two months I just quit all together. I am so bitter and resentful at this point. And honestly jealous. She has been with 6 other men and gone on something like 40 dates. And for me,...

[Bloodrock Remains 05- Manifolded Fabric. part 1 of 5] “Sup?” a male voice asked, making me look up from my laptop. “You writing a book?” The guy was probably a senior in high school or freshly graduated, nineteen at most, which put him just a few years younger than me. He was a little skinny, but not in an unattractive way, and he sported a tattoo on his left forearm. A closer look showed me that it was of a skeleton dual wielding a pair of wicked daggers. I really liked the tattoo, but I said nothing about it, choosing not to give the guy any common ground. “Not talented enough for that,” I answered dismissively, glancing back at my laptop. If he were to look, it might loo...

Hi girls! I’m in the early stages of building a sports bra brand specifically for women with a smaller waist and larger chest called Havyn because I’ve personally never found one that truly fits and looks good. Before I build anything, I want to learn directly from other girls who deal with this problem too. I’d really appreciate your help by answering a few questions: 1 What is your biggest issue or complaint with sports bras right now? 2 What do you wish you had in a bra that you can’t find today? 3 What activities do you struggle most with support for? (running, lifting, pilates, etc.) 4 What brands have you tried that almost worked — and why didn’t they? 5 Realist...

Hello! I'm asking this question for my dad, age 84. Bladder cancer survivor and lost one kidney due to cancer. He has spinal stenosis, arthritis in his back, and now DISH. He is in a lot of pain daily (started a few years ago, but has been quite bad for a year), and is having trouble walking and sleeping. He seems very stiff and any movement is at least a bit painful. The first spine specialist tried cortisone injections, which did not help. The second specialist diagnosed his DISH, but said he couldn't help. Because he has one kidney, he can't take NSAIDs and has had bad reactions to opioids. Acetominophen doesn't provide much relief. I have been trying to convince h...

Hi everybody, I want to ask for recommendations about a possible move to SA by next year. **Who we are:** We are a Mexican-American family of 6 soon to be 7, living in the California Central Valley, It's rural and we are tired of it. It's polluted with agricultural sprays and the pollution from LA metro area. 45M and 35F, Kids are currently 9, 6, 5, 3 and son newborn. We live in a small 1200 sq feet 3bd -2ba house in a nice area of town, cul-de-sac sub-div with nice yard for the kids to play in front of house and back, rural town though. I work remote \~80K, and wife stays home with the kids. We'd like to get out of the central valley, (pollution and rural, lack of quality...

There’s been a *lot* of walking in season 2 — walking from LA to New Vegas, walking through Death Valley, walking through >!the Canadian wilderness!<; in fact, I think these characters are being made to walk far greater distances than the writers are aware of. The show has largely refrained from indicating the timescale over which its events are happening, save for [a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it date on a cryopod of "July 2296."](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Timeline#cite_note-:6-1054) I have a suspicion the show is trying to suggest its events are happening over the course of just a few days or weeks — Norm's story has progressed by only about a week s...

I’ve been watching stores for a decent price on a 4.5”, but a deal popped up with free shipping and no tax - even after the transfer I’m saving $150 over what I’ve seen here at retail. Now, if Magpul would just ship my %&@\* subcompact module so I can make my 4” a CCO I’ll be set!

With my faculties renewed and recalibrated I guess it is time I give my opinion on the president's treaty. In short, It fits the aim of the Constitutionalist cause. **THE COMMUNARD PROVISIONS** The Provisions given to the communards essentially forces them to work within the Multese constitution. In fact, it should status quo antebellum. The 60% clause, would only certainly make Firebrick a commune. Newport, under its reunified status, may still be a commune as well depending on the population in that census. Nevertheless, these communes still have to participate in the Hoyane and abide by the rights afforded in the Constitution. Therefore, the constitution is effectively res...

Brought my 2017 Pacifica in today to get a leak diagnosed. The radiator needs to be diagnosed. Found a place closer to my husband's work that will do it for half the price the original shop wanted. Pick it up and drive it .25 miles to the grocery store on the way home, no problems at this point. As I leave, every light came on (check engine, ABS, battery, traction, brake), command screen turned off, and a message popped up to pull over safely. I stopped, turned it off, and tried again. It started up, but quickly everything happened again. This time it was completely dead. Showed the car was in neutral, but it wasn't. I couldn't get the gift shift to move to really know what it...

My son turns 4 next month and he's still biting and hitting. I notice it is when Dad is home (or it's a coincidence and he just loses it in the evenings). We don't have these issues during the day but it gets taken out on me. My son didn't like that his 1:1 attention was ending this evening and when he was told it was time (after a 10 min timer) to get ready for bed he started screaming etc. He tried to mess around and hide in the closet so I opened the closet and again told him it was time for bed and if he would like to put a pull up on or brush his teeth first. He hit me so I held his hand and walked him to time out. He tried to get out of time out so I said okay, w...

I work in my husband’s business and work closely with two of his friends who are also part of the business. Over time, this has become extremely draining and lately I feel triggered and frustrated almost every day. I’m honestly not sure how much longer I can keep functioning like this. For context, my husband (40) and I (32) recently shared that we’re doing IVF. I’m on hormone medication and have been advised to avoid heavy lifting and be more careful physically before start of it. This is temporary and I’m not asking to stop working — just some basic understanding and flexibility. I’ve been helping with the business for about 7 months now. At the beginning, I was triggered v...

Hello, I’m looking for some advice on how to help my friend (21F) who is struggling with drinking. She’s always had an issue with drinking too much and has admitted in the past that she’s an alcoholic (including around-the-clock drinking in high school). What really pushed us to feel like we need to say something happened last Friday. I went over to her place with another friend to have a drink before going out, and she was already extremely drunk. We didn’t even make it downtown before my other friend and I decided she needed to go home. On the way out, we realized she had secretly drank an entire bottle of rum after we had already asked her to stop. We’re at a loss for how to h...

Hello! Looking for some feedback for my first story. I’ve provided some questions to think about as you read. 1. Where did you feel most pulled in and where did you feel your attention drift? 2. What emotion did you feel most strongly—and when? 3. What details did you need that weren’t on the page? 4. What did you want the character to do that they didn’t do? 5. Did you feel tension rising, flatlining, or resetting?

So this story happened around years ago when a group of coworkers were getting into DND (near when Baldur's Gate came out. A little backstory for me: my only past experience with D&D was back in high school, when one of my teachers wanted to start a D&D club. However, due to COVID, that club ended before we could even officially create our characters. And to my knowledge, everyone else involved only heard of DND, and/or played Baldur's Gate. One of these co workers (rogue) found what felt like their dream game and their dream boyfriend... Gale. They would always and only talk about the things they would do and how Gale this and Gale that. On the contrary, I didn...
