Non guitar related topic - what are your hobbies ?

Well, I thought about that one, but since I'm starter player, not sure if I need more than 1 regular amp and 1 regular guitar.
Now That Is Just Crazy Talk. Hang Around Here Long Enough And You Will Quickly Discover That It Is Rarely Ever About Need...LOL. We All Had To Start Somewhere And That Place is Where You Are Right Now And Then Look What Happened! ;)
 
What are these "hobbies" of which you speak? I am not sure I have any. It does sound interesting, though. Where can I obtain one? 🙃

The guy who said photography is good answer btw. I think for sure I will buy myself good phone to take proper photos with it.
Ok, I’ll give a non smart ass answer. Most of my non music time is with my dog. I tried the photography thing for a minute. Bought a DSLR camera, but I found after a month or 2, I didn’t want to lug the camera around or didn’t have it with me when I wanted it. I resorted to buying the most expensive phone of my liking every couple years since I always have it with me. I took these yesterday of a 1975 Martin D-35 I recently got.

They’re crystal clear with great detail(I see the few pieces of dog fur🤷‍♂️) on my 75” tv which is good enough for me. Phone cameras have come a long way.

You Are Asking Me Where I Get My Info And Wanting Me To Convince You? How About You Tell Me Where You Get Your Info And You Convince Me That Anything I Am Saying is Wrong. ;)

Just Like Success Leaves Clues...So Does Failure And History. Time Will Show Us Very Soon Who Is Right. What Little I Have Said So Far Brings Me No Joy Or Pleasure But Truth Is Truth Even If Most Are Obvious To It.
I think you completely misunderstood. I wasn’t asking for a debate. I was asking you simply what your basis was for such a strong statement. I still don’t know what you do for a living, and was asking for perspective. I have been saying “smoke and mirrors “ for a couple years now, as the markets snd economy seem to still be growing despite rampant inflation, record revolving debt and the highest interest rates in over 20 years, etc.

The thing about market cycles is that you can miss a lot of upward momentum by protecting yourself against a fall. Sometimes it is better to ride the wave than to sit on the shore.

I don’t want to debate all of your clues online, though I might over a beer - not because I disagree, just to explore all sides of the die. For example: yes, revolving debt is growing and will hurt some people, but those aren’t the people setting market prices.
 
Buy Silver With All Your Extra Money. Thank Me Later. :)
This is exactly what I'm doing. I don't want to get to far into the weeds here but I'm 2-3 years away from my projected retirement date and this "crash" will most likely push that date farther into the future than I like.

I think it would be incredibly foolish to retire right before or during a crash.

Ugh

That Would Be A Great Talk And A Fun Hang For Sure No Matter The Topic Of Conversation.:)

The "Markets" Are Merely One Side Of Many Many Other Things Going On. The List I Made Of Things Earlier In A Post Are Other Things In The Mix To Effect Everything. I Could List A Lot More But It Would Be The Same Point In Effecting The Big Picture. Everything Is Manipulated And Being Propped Up, Especially Right Now. Any Intelligent Digging Will Reveal That. Most People Are Unaware Of The Things I Listed, What They Are And What They Mean And How They Function, Etc. Once A Person Begins To Learn What Those Things Are And What They Do Then The Dots Are Much Easier To Connect. The Sad Thing Is "Experts" In Their Respective Industries Don't Even Know What Those Terms Are, Etc.

I Agree With You On Riding Out Dips And Swings In Markets.What I Am Referring To Is More Complex Than Those Types Of Sways. There Are Always Opportunities On Dips Etc. But Again, This That I Am Referring To Is Not That. :)

No Debate My Friend. As I Said Before I Am Basing Everything I Say Off Of The Fundamentals...(To Say It Simply). I Listed Several Things (And Could List More) But If A Person Is Not Familiar And Educated With What I Listed Then Listing More Is Futile. Was my statement Strong? Perhaps But It Was Simply Direct And To The Point Of What Is Really Going On.Your Last Statement/Sentence Really Solidifies On A Very Small And Simple Level Exactly What I Am Saying. The Fundamentals Don't Support The Positive Changes Being Reported By The Talking Heads.
