Main Post: Get a peek inside Lucky's Market, opening in Victorian Village this week
Top Comment: I haven’t been to Luckys on High in years since I moved from that area. One of the best things about shopping there is getting a pint of inexpensive house beer prior to shopping. Solid produce and deli.
‘Good luck! We’ll all need it’: U.S. market approaches end of ‘superbubble,’ says Jeremy Grantham
Main Post:
The U.S. is approaching the end of a “superbubble” spanning across stocks, bonds, real estate and commodities following massive stimulus during the COVID pandemic, potentially leading to the largest markdown of wealth in its history once pessimism returns to rule markets, according to legendary investor Jeremy Grantham.
“For the first time in the U.S. we have simultaneous bubbles across all major asset classes,” said Grantham, co-founder of investment firm GMO, in a paper Thursday. He estimated wealth losses could total $35 trillion in the U.S. should valuations across major asset classes return two-thirds of the way to historical norms.
“One of the main reasons I deplore superbubbles — and resent the Fed and other financial authorities for allowing and facilitating them — is the underrecognized damage that bubbles cause as they deflate,” said Grantham.
The Federal Reserve doesn’t seem to “get” asset bubbles, said Grantham, pointing to the “ineffably massive stimulus for COVID” (some of which he said was necessary) that followed stimulus to recover from the bust of the 2006 housing bubble. “The only ‘lesson’ that the economic establishment appears to have learned from the rubble of 2009 is that we didn’t address it with enough stimulus,” he said. Equity bubbles tend to begin to deflate from the riskiest parts of the market first — as the one that Grantham is warning about has been doing since February 2021, according to his paper. “So, good luck!” he wrote. “We’ll all need it.”

Night Market Luck

Insta- bought reaver vandal. Are there any others worth getting? I feel like I am extremely lucky with this Night Market Shop.
Top Comment: 941 valorant points for a reaver vandal that's a great deal. The Gaia marshal is a good skin too for the discount. The forsaken blade, is meh, upto personal preference. The rest of the skins are a solid nope.

Does upgrading the marketing room have any effect on market odds (high tier upgrades) similar to robotics effecting difficulty as i swear im never getting good changes

Oh I feel this so hard! Made several thousand SRs this tournament and in the end the ark is my only chance to actually do half well. Typical.
As for your question, no I don't think upgrading it affects it. Sometimes it's just bad luck. The only time I've seen SRs in the market this last month is in the negative, but a tournament a while ago I had the SR turn up twice in the market, back to back.
Hardest job market I’ve seen. Are you guys having better luck.

Looking for a job has been brutal.
I’m in a niche space. 10 years of experience. Advanced degree. Publications. Certifications.
Legit been applying since October. Probably 600 applications, and had like 3 second round interviews.
Companies seem terrified to hire. Very cautious. Very sloppy recruiting processes. Jobs being reposted for months at a time.
What are you guys experiencing? I’m really only looking for remote, but still, absolutely wild job market. I also apply to hybrid and onsite anyway for the experience and get zero responses.
Not sure if I’m looking for reassurance. Just want to make sure it isn’t me because this is the worst job market I’ve seen.
Top Comment: I have 2 masters degrees and am getting ghosted by Walmart and Gas Stations...beyond brutal
[C] No luck in the market. Not sure whether to pursue a statistics MS or not
Main Post:
Hi I hope this is an appropriate place to ask this question
I have interest in statistics and have always liked working with numbers, understanding how things work, and applying that to interesting contexts. I already have a bachelor's in math and have taken a couple statistics courses and done some self learning projects etc. over the last 2 years. I just don't have the 30-50k+ to pursue an MS and it seems it tends to be very uncommon to obtain assistance with that sort of thing.
I also wasn't an outstanding student and obtained a mediocre GPA without doing anything special when I was in college.
I would like to learn more statistics and work in the field at some point. I am currently working on reading/doing problems in Casella & Berger (a surprisingly good book) but it just seems that what you're doing or learning doesn't seem to matter much outside of being in an institution and being officially certified. At least not to the job market.
When I got out of college I ended up in retail and on one hand I see an MS as a path to something more rewarding but on the other hand I'm not sure what to do and I thought asking people in the field would be a good thing to do.
Thanks

I was in a similar position after my undergraduate, albeit in a market research operations role without any data analysis or statistics and was stuck for a few years. Started a masters in statistics while working and within a year of starting got a job as a data analyst that involves quite a bit of statistical analysis and a 20% pay increase. I'm still a year away from finishing my masters so I'd say it was worth it.
Astrological placements/aspects for someone who works with the stock market?
Main Post:
Like being a stock trader, financial analyst, etc.
Top Comment: There is a whole sector of astrology that deals with the stock market and financials. The planetary meanings change as well. Typically, the Moon's significations would relate to consumers/the people/trading. Jupiter significations are big increases. Saturn significations are losses. Aspects between the Moon and Jupiter/Venus are favorable. Aspects between the Moon and Saturn/Mars are unfavorable. If you are working with cryptocurrency its important to have the astrological chart of the crypto's inception so you can track its transits and see how it performs on a particular day or week. Again, there are astrologers who specialize only in this work! Still very new to financial astrology as a whole.
Have Any Of You Had Any Luck With Actual Copywriting Jobs?
Main Post:
Hey all, I'm a writer from the US and I'm in the midst of applying to several copywriting and writing-based jobs on Linkedin. I have applied to several companies. I have a nice resume and an online portfolio. I'm also active on LinkedIn and regularly post writing content there & connect with other writers. I have a year of experience, so I'm basically applying to entry level roles.
I'm sure you all know about the mess that is the current job market with companies that never reply back to you or recruiters that ghost you....have any of you had any luck landing an official copywriting role?
