“We used to troll for Soviet submarines. We caught a Victor II on the way out of the Med in ‘80.
“I wanted to keep it but we had to let it go.”

Did you already have your daily limit?
Was it too small and you had to throw it back?
True story: I took my cousin and his kids out fishing on my tri-toon. The one boy was about 9, and he managed to bring in a nice 16” smallmouth bass that we tossed into the livewell. We didn’t catch much the rest of the day, and decided the one fish wasn’t worth cleaning and were going to let it go.
There was just one problem. It took about 15 minutes for my cousin to talk his son out of his plan to keep the fish for the aquarium he was going to put it in when he got home...
I could use a little input here. When I got into these threads 3 years ago, it was with the understanding that some of the information could be considered “advanced knowledge”, and we shouldn’t be using it for monetary gain. From my personal standpoint, so far so good on that. The expenses, time, equipment out of my pocket - not a problem given what we need to do.
That being said, I find my personal situation challenging in that I need to spend more time outside of my day job to help land this, but the day job is really starting to push for more of my time spent there. It’s clear that there’s a huge economic hiccup coming. I’m trying to get by with what’s necessary financially. But I can’t help wonder if I look at a retirement (if only “briefly”), I could do a lot of good at waking up more folks.
Now, when mentioning “the R word” to Mrs. Uber, there was a quick panic and discussion towards “how will we pay the bills” followed by “what do you mean the economy might crash? Get it ALL out!”
Normies. What are you going to do with them??
It wouldn’t be a big deal to take out enough 401k funds to eek things out for say 8 months or so. If I get my way based on patents held back, I’ll be making Deep State heads spin with how fast some good engineers and I bring some of these technologies out. But election integrity and cleanup first. So here’s the question: At what point would I be considered to be past some of the “insider info” and take care of needed business? This is definitely uncharted territory for myself and many others.
Keep in mind also, I couldn’t help but notice some of the BS the stock market was doing back around 2012 (shorting/hedging-but I didn’t fully realize the intricacies that have been exposed the past three years). From a mathematics standpoint I started upsetting their system using it (long story). It’s almost a second nature judging how the economy is going without daily commodity prices and a lot of analysis FWIW. Any input is appreciated and I realize it’s my own responsibility regarding my finances & situation...
