TQQQ and SOXL are obvious ones but do you have a list of tickers you track for when they have deep drawdowns to then DCA into. Ideas that are long term strong and not just speculative single name tickers.

Edit: to be clear, I’m asking for what’s in your watchlist and why you think it’s a long term strong performer with frequent enough market panics crashing it.

In some places of the world, solar panels have become dirt cheap, labour is cheap and net metering is no longer a thing (and grid electricity is expensive). For those places would it make sense to drill holes in the brick walls of a house and install monofacial solar panels on the outside walls facing east and west?

The idea being to:

1. Shield the walls from the blazing hot sun
2. Aim the panels in the directions where the most useful production will be
3. Overbuild a bit since panels are cheap to maximize useful production

Yes it would be less overall production per panel but since net metering is no longer available, the focus should probably be on maximizing *useful* electricity rather than raw production. You could still have south facing panels on the roof of the house. But why not use the east and west walls instead wasting that ‘real estate’ and generate electricity when

This is for people with modest storage needs. My idea was to have ~3 friends, each with a reasonable sized external hard drive (say 3TB each). And then you use old laptops to setup borg backup servers at each persons’ house. Each person uses borg backup to backup their partition of the external drive on their two friends’ drives. That way you’d have 3 copies of your data.

Say you divvy up the 3TB drives into 1TB partitions, one for each person. I store my data like normal to my 1TB partition on the 3TB drive connected to my home server and then back it up using borg backup on to the 1TB partitions allocated to me at each of my two friends’ home servers. Likewise for the other two friends. You could set it up for them so they just see a SMB server/drive and just drag and drop their files for storage and in the backend borg runs nightly backing up to two other drives as well.

Has anyone tried this? What’s a good setup to do this? Any pitfalls?
