This box is huge. I had no idea when I pre-ordered it that it was such a chonky boy. I mean, we own like two other GMT games so my knowledge is limited but still! There are so many booklets in here! And boards!
Have we even tried Churchill yet? Of course not. Will this get played this year? I mean, my goal is to play every game that comes into the house (campaigns excepted) soon after they come in, but certainly in the same year. So far, Churchill is the only game outstanding, now joined by this giant box.

Friday Night Shots - Pre-Order Extravaganza!
Friday Night Shots - Pre-Order Extravaganza! @gmtgames @garphillgames @compassgamesllc @djackthompson @trevormbenjamin
Welcome back! Belly up to the bar and let me get you a drink of some kind. Doesn’t have to be booze. It’s Friday again. The week has kind of flown by, though that could be because it feels like I have a million things to do before my month-long vacation starts after next Friday. So I’m sitting here sipping my whiskey and Diet Pepsi, getting ready for dinner, and thinking. What am I…

Perception: Half of Americans believed that the stock market is falling this year. Those who watch Fox News believe it is tanking.
Reality: The S&P 500 is up 11% in 2024 thus far as America experiences a bull market with few precedents.
[Robert Scott Horton]
* * * *
In the history book These Truths, by Jill Lepore, are the following paragraphs about the first, highly successful political campaign managers, Campaigns, Inc., aka The Lie Factory, founded in 1933. They never lost a campaign. Republicans have mastered their campaign strategy rules:
'Every campaign needs a theme. Keep it simple. Rhyming is good. Never explain anything. "The more you have to explain, the more difficult it is to win support." Say the same thing over and over again. "We assume we have to get a voter's attention 7 times to make a sale". Subtlety is your enemy. "Words that lean on your mind are no good. They must dent it." Simplify, simplify, simplify. "A wall goes up when you try to make Mr. And Mrs. Average American Citizen work or think."
Make it personal. Candidates are easier to sell than issues. If your position doesn't have an opponent, invent one. Pretend that you are the voice of the people. You can't wage a defensive campaign and win. Never shy from controversy; instead win the controversy. "The average American doesn't want to be educated, he doesn't want to improve his mind; he doesn't want to work, consciously, at being a good citizen. But there are 2 ways you can interest him in a campaign, and only 2 that we have ever found successful." You can put on a fight ("He likes a good battle with no punches pulled"), or you can put on a show ("He likes the movies, he likes mysteries; he likes fireworks and parades). "So, if you can't fight, PUT ON A SHOW! If you put on a good show, Mr. And Mrs. America will turn out to see it.'

Nice historical volatility chart
This is a helpful annotated chart of yearly S&P 500 volatility. I bookmarked it back in 2014, so it only covers the years from 1929 to 2014.
Tumblr media
S&P 500 calendar year realized volatility from 1929-2014 $SPY $SPX $VIX
— via Ro_Patel on StockTwits, October 09, 2014
The y-axis is S&P Calendar Year Realized Volatility as a percentage. The x-axis is time in years. I hope it is possible to enlarge the image by clicking on it! The red bars represent the 10 years with highest volatility. The green bars represent the 10 years with the lowest volatility. I am guessing that the blue bars are all other years.
I wondered why the chart was tagged with $SPY $SPX and $VIX. Both StockTwits and Twitter used to denote stock symbols with a dollar sign instead of a hash tag.
The first two were easy. SPY is an ETF that is backed by actual shares of stock in the companies that are included in Standard & Poor's 500 index. SPX is driven by the price of the S&P 500 Index itself. SPX isn't tradeable per se, but there are SPX futures and various SPX options.
Volatility and the fear indicator
Volatility is the standard deviation of a stock, stock index, or other security's annualized returns over a time period; essentially, the rate at which the security or index price increases or decreases. ‘Actual’ (historical) volatility measures the variability of known prices.
What is $VIX
VIX is called the fear indicator because it is used to infer a quantitative metric of market risk, fear, and stress. It is defined as the 30-day expected volatility of the S&P 500 stock index, using Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) listed S&P 500 options data. VIX is a measure of implied volatility (forward-looking) not historical. Values over 30 are considered high, while 20 is more typical. There's no upper bound on VIX.
The VIX isn't tradeable, which is why I am amused that its CBOE landing page (URL above) has "tradeable" in the URL! Instead, there are VIX futures, call and put options for trading.
The VIX was introduced by CBOE in 1993. I think that's why this chart doesn't have VIX on the y-axis (only alluding to it with $VIX) as an historical time series. It wouldn't be possible to impute historical values, especially not to 1929 but not even prior to 1993, because VIX is calculated by aggregating weighted prices of a constantly changing portfolio of S&P 500 calls and puts over a range of strike prices.
StockTwits
StockTwits seems mostly moribund to me, since about 2015. The name is a little strange, but it is a great idea: A social network for investor/speculators. The realtime, Twitter-like functionality, and user interface, are well-designed and fun. I think StockTwits was founded by Howard Lindzon who is nice, and maybe Fred Wilson the AVC guy ("A Venture Capitalist"?). EDIT: I just checked. It is still active but not exactly a huge startup venture.
Now that Amazon.com has retired Alexa, I can't find website metrics as easily. I'm mildly curious about StockTwits. I wish I could average unique annual page views per year, and then do a 3-line time series graph of unique daily views during 2012 (when it was really active), 2015, and last year.

<12월 6일 매매일지>
-매수종목 : TIGER 미국S&P500
-매수가 : 13185
-이유 : 유투브 수페TV님의 수페챌린지 참여중. 마주 한주씩 매수하는건데 최근 한두달동안 돈 쓸 일이 많아서 못하다가 이번에 여유자금이 생겨서 8주 추매. 경기침체로 몇 개의 기업이 망해도 미국이라는 나라는 망하지 않을거같아 지수추종ETF로 장기투자하는게 괜찮을거같다고 판단. 연금저축펀드로 꾸준히 사모으는중
