I want Garrett and Hughson.

Omg can we please shut up about the Leafs. Please.

Just trying to lose around 5-10 pounds. I've had a pretty consistent workout routine the past 5 years and I've been happy with my weight/muscle mass. I've managed to keep it steady over that time, but COVID has me stuck working from home all day and not moving around. That's resulted in packing on some pounds that I don't want despite maintaining the same routine and diet - it's probably because I don't get as near as many steps outside as I did pre-COVID when commuting to work/school and running errands everyday. I figured cutting down food intake since I stay home all day would make sense. I still have access to a gym so I can stick to my routine of working out every other day. The plan is to skip dinners on the days I don't workout and then breakfast the following day, but making sure I have lunch and dinner on workout days so I can have meals before and after my workouts. So while the three fasts equate to a little less than 24 hours each, I thought they'd be easier to manage since I'm sleeping through a big chunk of each of the 24 hour sessions. I've seen other ways to do intermittent fasting, but I thought my particular setup was a good way to intermittently fast while also preventing me from working out on an empty stomach, which I absolutely hate.

Anyone have success with intermittent fasting? I'm going to be trying a schedule where I skip dinner and then breakfast the following day three times a week, which essentially turns out to be 24 hour fasts each time.

Yeah I'm thinking there's going to be a bit of a bounceback rally next week, so I don't feel comfortable holding my shorts over the weekend. Edit: Nasdaq QQQ hit my price target of 300, too bad I was stuck in a meeting when it slipped below 298, but regardless, I'm out - that was a fun slide down to ride

Pettersson, do we really need him?

Nothing flashy, but Demko looking steady and poised tonight.

Time to take some profit on my shorts

Oh shoot, I forgot Powell was speaking today. Anything of significance? Bond yields pushing 1.5 again.

Finally finishing up school gave me the opportunity to start investing long-term. Too bad that happened only a few months before the COVID drop, so I've become a bit of an active trader while all this market craze settles down. Not a fan of investing my money at what looks to be near the end of a decade long bull run.

Question, and I've kind of asked this before. Got a sum of money that I need in precisely two years. My risk tolerance is extremely low with this particular money, but GIC rates are trash and equities are out of the question, especially in the current inflated environment. I was looking at diversified bond ETFs like BMO's ZAG and while I'm more than happy with the 3% annual "dividend," I'm a little weary about how interest rates have nowhere to go but up right now which would risk some material capital losses on my position by the end of the two years. I've been doing some research and looked up short-term bond ETFs. To my understanding, the shorter the maturity date, the less reactive the bonds are to interest rate changes? Would an ETF more oriented towards short-term bonds be a good way to mitigate interest rate risk? Thanks in advance.

Why are people talking about trading Holtby, he's a necessary evil for the expansion draft. No Holtby, no Demko.

Boeser the best Canuck by far tonight.

Either run with Demko or make it a 50/50 split with Holtby. I don't think long breaks do Holtby any good - it looks like he's not used to it and needs regular playing time like a normal starter.

Can Green please give OJ some damn ice time?

Canucks took the lead too early

Defensive play from Myers and others have been underwhelming, but a significant part of the problem lies with our defensive system, and that's with the coaches. Oh, and benching OJ doesn't help either. That one really takes the cake.

Up, down, up, down, up, down.

Maybe the Canucks should play behind all the time. They play better compared to when they're in the lead.

Just tuned in to the game... Did Green bench OJ? Are you ****ing serious?

That applies to both ways. There's also a lot of Youtube videos calling for the big crash. Who knows, the Fed could press their bond buying button or the dip buyers could step in big time. I'm short this market, but I'm getting prepared for the possibility of seeing red.

I thought you cashed out on your big CCIV gains from a couple of weeks ago

I've been a bear for way too long, but I've learned a lot about how markets work and just macroeconomics in general. Missed out on a lot of gains, but happy I was following the markets really closely these past 2 years - learned a lot.

LOL.

Wanna pick up the slack there Millsy? Jesus
