ANECDOTAL: I went off of the lowest dose (37.5 mg) of Venlafaxine (effexor xr - SNRI) earlier this year. I felt like I was hungover most days, and a general vertigo feeling. It sucked ass, so I reached out to my doctor and he suggested I try to use CBD oil to help with the symptoms.

I tried it and it literally dulled the withdrawal by at least half. It made my days tolerable to the point that I could go to work and function like a human being.

They can't even get their two factor authentication to work. Their customer service a joke, and their processing takes too long.

Why people are hyped over their new products / features knowing how shit their old ones are is beyond me.

I'm eager to read your alternative solution to the problem. I'm in a city whose public transportation is a joke. It'd take me longer to get in, if it didn't breakdown, than to drive my 1 hour to 1.15 hour commute.

Plus, for $360,000 I paid for my house, an acre of land, privacy, and piece of mind for my family would get me, maybe , MAYBE, a townhouse in an area of the city that is surrounded by sketchy neighborhoods.

It's not just about "getting to listen to podcasts", it's about getting more for your money in most cases.

I've always struggled with this idea that people are trying to apply logical models to illogical situations. Ideal buying size is not going to save you from a 10 minute pump and dump.

Optimal holding percent is not going to protect you against a total whale coming in and selling off because they're bored of the currency.

Trading is based on emotion and the control of that emotion. Buy into technology you understand and find valuable. The only calculation you need is to know what you're willing to lose and set your stop loss, everything else is a bit of a waste in my opinion.
