Read about buffer ETFs - Innovator Defined Outcome ETFs: The First ETFs that protect against losses of 9%, 15%, or 30% (innovatoretfs.com). About the closest thing you can get to a "ratchet."

Basically what was already said. Your trade-off for limiting downside risk is a cap on the upside. I didn't know this came in ETF form.

I might've mentioned it a while ago, maybe you missed it.
I moved my sell limits up $2 a piece. 137/140/142
I bought some at $83, wish I'd taken out a loan to buy more back then.
One of my savings accounts is paying damn near 4% now, so I'm tempted just to dump all cash in there for now.

Those Lithium wildcatters I mentioned a few months ago have not struck it rich yet. Should be getting delisted any day now.

Diagonal cutters will flatten a cable out and fray it before cutting. A really good, sharp tool might cut a cable acceptably but a cable cutter has jaws designed to cut without squashing the cable.

Nobody has that in stock. So I’ll have to settle for lowe’s or home depot. Home Depot seemed tk have better choices.

I know. Like I've said before, I'd rather have it (literally) banked than worry about not having the 401k filled up if I lose the job. Or, as happened to AG when she changed jobs last year, accidentally going over because the second employer screwed up the contribution rates. I'l sacrifice DCA to have it maxed without any concerns.

Well I've had full cans of beer thrown at us by Mount Union fans. But really I was more talking about obnoxious talk, yes Boston but also Cowboys, Seahawks, and Eagles fans (in general). The analysts will absolutely talk about which fanbases need the most muting on Twitter, and Buffalo isn't in the top 10.
