    I am not a road biker. If I am on the road it is for a very short distance, and if I see a car coming in the mirror, I pull over and let it pass. So I don't know.

    Wall Street Bets: The EBR Edition

    Be careful buying any spac when it is trading away from the NAV floor of $10. SPACs get crushed whenever there is a general market downturn. If you are going to buy a Spac over $11, I suggest waiting for the next dip. Look at how spacs performed during the week of the Gamestop debacle, they...

    I really like the Ortlieb mirror, has a nice convexity, and is so light and doesn't bounce around while riding.

    You will never know when the correction will come. I personally believe we are long overdue for a 10-20% correction, but unless the narrative about vaccines turns towards one of failure, we will not dip below a 20% fall in the market. Best thing to do if you are concerned is to hedge yourself...

    Wall Street Bets: The EBR Edition

    Trust size is effectively the amount of money raised in the IPO for the SPAC that is held in the escrow account used to merge with a future company. The Net Asset Value is clearly found in the S-1 SEC filing for every SPAC. For just about every SPAC except for Pershing Square Tontine Holdings...

    Wall Street Bets: The EBR Edition

    I can answer a lot of questions about SPACs, if anybody is interested. In short, find a SPAC trading near Net Asset Value (generally 10 US dollars per share), and your downside risk is extremely low. Once a target is announced, if the market is favorable, there is generally a pop in the price...

    I never thought when I made this thread that the day would come with all this gamestop in the news. I expect volatility in the coming weeks, but ultimately, compared to the total market cap of the stock market, the gamestop business will be a small blip in the radar. I do expect social unrest...

    Who is transporting their ebikes standing up inside a truck bed under topper?

    I have been looking for a couple years for a means to carry my bicycle on some crossbars that run over a tonneau cover. Basically, I want the security of a locking tonneau, and keep the bikes up on top of the tonneau so they don't pick up debris from being in a hitch mounted bike rack. The...

    "With oil soon becoming obsolete" I am the guy trading against that thought. Good luck. See you on the other side.

    Bike lock for a city that's not very bike friendly

    If you don't mind the weight penalty, a 5 foot Pewag 1/2" chain combined with the Viro EuroMonolith lock is your best bet. Check westechrigging.com

    Rear rack for Yamaha cross core

    They are very well built and designed if you are going to carry panniers.. Seatpost racks aren't that stable if you are packing 15 pounds per pannier, and the only alternative for a full suspension bike is the topeak tetrarack, which clamps on via velcro and has a weight limitation. Old man...

    I present my next pick as a long term hold, for dividend yield and equity return: IMBBY.

    Wall Street Bets: The EBR Edition

    Oil is a long term holding position and stocks in big oil, and, especially, exploration and production stocks are trading at extremely depressed values. Dividends remain high and stable. It is my opinion that there is simply no way that in 10 years oil will be $5/barrel. My midcycle target...

    You put your confidence in the management of the SPAC company. In the case of BTWN, you are trusting Peter Thiel with your money. There is of course risk, though take a look at the return of BTWN since the date of my original post. :)

    Thought I would start this thread, a lot of intelligent people here on EBR. What equity positions are you positioning yourselves on? For me, this year I am heavy into PLTR and DFEN. I am also building a position in BTWN. I am long oil stocks, specifically FTI, BKR, and XOM. Looking at a 5G...

    Will This Sort of Topeak Rack Work With Dropper Post?

    Their racks work fine with carbon. No weight is carried on the frame of the bike - its all on the thru axel. They discuss this in their product faq on the website.

    Are you telling me you are carrying the spare battery in a backpack?!

    Check out Old Man Mountain racks. They will probably ship to Poland. Works perfectly with a full suspension and dropper post. I wouldn't use any other rack now that I found them.
