FED STAFF SAW RECESSION “ALMOST AS LIKELY’ AS MAIN FORECAST 

NalonMcCallough

Put it all on dividend stocks and make $8-10k a year passively. I like PFLT/PNNT, O, STAG, GLAD/GOOD/LAND/GAIN, MAIN, and a few others.

Topher-22

MAIN has been targeted by a short seller who published a thesis that they’re simply marking up their assets which don’t have easily comparable comps. Not sure if I believe the thesis, but something to look into as well.

NorthmanIP

I'm currently considering buying MAIN here today or tomorrow and setting up a DRIP, have you had any experience with that or have you just enjoyed the dividend payouts

all-in01

i have both but MAIN has performed much better

DistributionBroad173

Go here [https://www.reddit.com/r/dividends/](https://www.reddit.com/r/dividends/) O is loved loved loved there, and MAIN is talked about frequently. Not sure about laws in nordic countries. but the income from O and MAIN are both treated as ordinary income in the USA, they are NOT qualified dividends.

NorthmanIP

I just thought that since I'm gonna be reinvesting it most likely anyway, and the pennies I'd get in dividends arent really that interesting (haha) a DRIP might just be the easiest solution. I'm wanting to join either MAIN or O in a long-term investment plan.

greytoc

MAIN supports a DRIP - [https://www.mainstcapital.com/investors/listed-securities-information/dividend-reinvestment-and-direct-stock-purchase-plan](https://www.mainstcapital.com/investors/listed-securities-information/dividend-reinvestment-and-direct-stock-purchase-plan) Why does having a DRIP matter to you? It shouldn't really be a reason to make an investing decision since pretty much all brokers in the US today support dividend reinvestment if the issuer does not support a DRIP.

DominicABQ

Go look at the history of Dow Jones, Nasdaq, and S&P500 over the last 50 years and you will have your answer. I suggest you invest and put a specific date in mind like 15 years so in May 2040 you sell whatever. The market loves panickers like you it's how they make money. Stop beating yourself up over a loss, everyone has them. I do believe another dip in the market is on the horizon, so wait and buy back in, but then again it may not happen. Find companies you like and use like Costco, Kroger or Walmart etc, and then put $$ in emerging markets like Ai, or Quantum Computing. But you really want diversified portfolio buy ETFs like QQQ, SPYI, or MAIN and just let it ride. I daytrade extremely successfully and you need nerves of steel somedays. Do your research, don't try to reinvent the wheel, and most of all never listen to your brother in law trying to get you to buy XYZ company because they will make you a millionaire. Buy solid companies with proven track records over time of making money like Coca Cola, Colgate and Johnson & Johnson.

Unlucky-Clock5230

Like most things in life, it depends :D Everybody's favorite ETF is SCHD. their yield is tame at 3.94%, but their total return is a whole lot better. You get a steady income and do not forego growth. On energy I have HESM, sporting a 7.31% yield. Midstream energy companies can suffer during recessions but the long term demand for all sorts of energy is strong. One I have a ton of faith on is VICI, 5.39% yield,. It is a Real Estate Investment Trust that specializes in casinos. As a matter of fact they are probably the only REIT that collected 100% rents during Covid. Who would have thought casinos had so much money... They are expanding their market (number of properties under management) so there is room for capital growth. O is another solid REIT that has been paying and raising dividends for 27 years straight (5.73%). That includes both the dot-com and the housing crisis. The BDC sector is heading towards turbulence with both high interest and maybe a recession, but their high yields are worth the risk. I own MAIN, CSWC, and HTGC. I got out of CUBE (storage units REIT) but their 4.76% yield is solid. GUT is a closed end fund meant to generate income. They have pretty much 0 growth since inception 25 years ago, but they have been paying north of 10% yield for those 25 years. Their NAV premium has always been ugly but they have always delivered. Honestly I expect a 20% yield cut anytime and that would still have them yielding 9.4%, which would not be the worst thing in the world. I have others but that should give you some stuff to research.

Id understand if you’d lump the Clinton’s in because yeah, American name brand wealthy politicians are pretty similar. I just don’t understand how someone who clearly understands the class struggle doesn’t look at the working class senator that managed to be a mainstay of the American political machine for what, 50 years? That’s literally goals brother. Get US to the top WITHOUT pulling the ladder up. Hence the whole trying really hard to make the expanded child care credit permanent, not just a Covid bandaid. Extending student loan forgiveness. Extending student loan payment freezes. Pushing for future manufacturing with the chips act. These aren’t for the Clinton’s and the trumps and the musks and the venture capitalist class, these were things for all those folks that aren’t in the club. I love George Carlin too. I also am not some giant super go Joe Biden guy, but honestly… look at the actions vs. the media interpretation. Look at what policies were pushed for. Ask yourself if the MAIN benefactors were the top 20 or the bottom 80.

Don't mention the USA farming subsides either... From here: [https://search.nal.usda.gov/discovery/fulldisplay?context=L&vid=01NAL\_INST:MAIN&search\_scope=pubag&tab=pubag&docid=alma9915803904207426](https://search.nal.usda.gov/discovery/fulldisplay?context=L&vid=01NAL_INST:MAIN&search_scope=pubag&tab=pubag&docid=alma9915803904207426) This is a 2019 paper, so not ancient history. The description states that reducing farm subsidies by 1% will result in a reduction of farming exports by 0.4%. Also abolishing all farming subsidies will reduce exports by $15.3 Billion per year. Reducing subsidies by 100% will reduce farming exports by 40%. So current annual farm subsidies must be 15.3/0.4 = $38.25 Billion.

Hess looks good will research it. I’ve been watching MAIN for a while and would love to own it but a few top BDCs cut earnings forecasts for the next few years and if rates go down that will hurt them even more.

Unlucky-Clock5230

Another one I consider safe and high yielding is Hess mid stream. With AI it is all hands on deck for energy production and their financials are pretty darn good. Cube smart (storage facilities REIT) looks good, people hoard crap through thick and thin. I have a few BDCs paying high yields, of those MAIN is a solid performer

Flamingstar7567

Market might be falling, but my gut says keep pumping. It's basically black Friday for anyone wanting to enter the stock market rn. Buy em while it's cheap, profit in a couple of years. My main focus is dividend stocks, especially monthly ones like MAIN and STAG. With them becoming so cheap, I'll be able to buy a lot and build a solid cash flow. I'm hoping some of the more expensive stocks like JPM, KMB, and PEP drop aswell as they all have a high dividend payout.

achshort

Yeah, BDCs too. I've been DCAing MAIN/ARCC. Waiting for a better indicatiion of a bottom or start of a big rally to get in big.

GainPornCity

More and more desk jobs due to the outsourcing of manufacturing, making us a service industry. THAT IS THE CONSERVATIVE MAIN CRITIQUE OF THE DEMOCRATS. Trump is trying to reverse this, and as an American, it's fine. I'm 35, shit needs to be fixed ASAP!

Flamingstar7567

That's what I did back in 22/23, personally I recommend focusing on dividend stocks, especially monthly dividend ones like MAIN and STAG, it's a great way to build cash flow especially now that most of em are gonna be pretty cheap. Turn on DRIP aswell and it'll help build a great portfolio.

Yes, I sold one position (MAIN) to increase cash pile for future buys, not a big possition, around 2.5%

America is at its lowest low in my 43 years lifetime. I have NEVER seen this amount of ignorance just flourishing everywhere.

THE NEW TSLA UPDATE ALLOWS THE CAR TO COLLECT YOUR DNA AND UPLOAD TO MAIN DATABASE. 

i-love-freesias

The financial “sector” includes institutions that can go in completely different directions. For instance, if they are heavily into mortgages, but rates are so high nobody is buying homes, they will suffer. If they are heavy into credit card debt, they might do better when the economy is suffering…until people start defaulting. They might be into moving money internationally, which is probably good right now, but can be affected by currency volatility. So, some will be making more profit while others will have lower income. An index fund that holds them all would minimize risk, but I would doubt the returns would be great, just because of the fact that they probably rarely all do well at the same time. But I’m not an expert. I do hold JPM and C as individual stocks, though, and I sold MAIN because I don’t feel confident that medium sized businesses will be able to pay their loans.

SonicOnMeth

What is this nonsense? Tariffs and trade wars are a common thing, is Trump over doing it, probably. But he also enacted tariffs his first term and tariffs have always existed. Invading and annexing foreign countries? Open the window, the US is currently protectionist, for the first time in a long time they arent involved in a large war. The US still has insane sanctions on Russia, they are still banned from SWIFT and dollar transactions. Actually the US is the MAIN sangtioner of russia. Go to any european harbor, there still are russian yatchs… The real issue is the US debt, which has been an issue regardless of administration. And nothing new that Trump has created. Altough he sure isnt solving it either.

Agreeable_Fly_4884

Research (MAIN) they’ve had a good track record of growth and they payout a monthly dividend.

Majestic-Rutabaga-61

Ok, so this is a lofty goal, but if you’re serious about, this should get you extremely close with relatively low degree of risk. Put 25% in each of the following: EPD - 8042 income MAIN - 9430 income CTO - 10,327 income ENB - 7688 income This would get you an average of $2957 per month, and the awesome part is that all three have been growing their dividend/distribution and all are great companies. This is 100% the route I’d take if I needed the cash flow. Hope this helps!

NO dude you missunderstood my comment. He is FORCED to do that shit to maintain power because otherwise people will get hella frustrated and the MAIN KPI Trump looks at for his "success" is the stock market - which gets dragged down because of the shitty BTC asset. Therefore this was the exact opposite of a "bulish for bitcoin" commen, this asset is just pure poison for the stock market.

iceland00

I'm retired, so I want to avoid a significant drawdown. I like a "managed futures" holding, CTA. I hold CLO ETFs, such as JAAA and CLOZ (there are plenty of others). Also, I like BDCs. I keep a basket of BDC holdings, anchored by MAIN. I consider SPHQ and FDVV as my "core" holdings. I'm building those as I exit individual equities. Basically, I've trimmed my "fun money". I'll continue to use the "fun money" without regard to possible recession, stagflation, and/or bear market.

hermeskino715

Wow the only things green in my port are 🚬 (MO), MAIN, and my only REIT (AGNC)...a fucking REIT. Not even the best one. Jacking off is a better use of my time than watching this shit market

OGPeakyblinders

Making money is the name of the game! I will take small wins consistently over a few big wins. Talk to any old head or someone who has been doing this for years, they all say the same thing. Buys a few index ETFs or mutual funds and dividend stocks. You know the play right now because it's been there all along. List is not all inclusive and just recommendations. VOO or SPY SCHD/DRGO MAIN QQQM or QQQ BITO/IBIT for some crypto exposure Turn on DRIP and DCA Buy on red days or sell cash secured puts on a strike you want to own. What's your goal and exit strategy! Write it down and stick to it.

theinkdon

I keep telling myself I should just go into ETFs for their immunity to single-ticker risks, but the returns of stocks just keep calling me back. I've made good money on NVDA since the week before the split, but since June it's just basically been waffling. I sell CCs on it though to make it earn its keep. That'll be a long-term hold for me. I've been eying META for a while and need to buy some. Same for RDDT, which I'll buy as soon as its downturn as over. AMAN's nice, but not as nice as WMT or FOX. Thanks for turning me on to MAIN, hadn't heard of it. But that's a nice 1y chart, up 38%. And its 6.7% yield is really good.

wm313

I have mostly ETFs now. Still holding NVDA, RDDT, and AMZN. Recently went into META and MSIF - they’re under MAIN which has been a good dividend stock with a little growth.

Unlucky-Clock5230

Depends on what your definition of risk is. Me? I only stock-pick dividend plays. My risk is largely defined by the resiliency of the dividend and in most of my positions by the yearly dividend growth. I have been in fact hoping for a market crash; I feel confident that my dividends will survive (I buy quality over yield) and for income investors those events are the best moments to safely increase your yields. Good example would be 2020 when the 30% drop came and went too soon, and I didn't do the yield shopping spree I should have done. But 2022 came to the rescue; negative for growth, but I managed to snatch fantastic yields from quality dividend companies that went on sale. MAIN has doubled in value since, beating the S&P500 in some of the best years the index have seen, and that's not even counting the yield. Right now it may be 4.88% but my yield on cost is closer to 9%. So yes, I'm hoping a correction hits soon. It should not damage my portfolio goals and in fact brings lots of opportunities.

LopsidedAcadia197

THAT SHOULD BE OUR MAIN PLAY, but CNSP bots are messing everything up

FlyingPinkUnicorns

It's completely feasible. Orient your portfolio toward growth, ie mainly equities, initially and then re-allocate toward lower risk income investments as you get closer to retirement. A general rule of thumb... and it is very general, is that you should aim for \~10% total return early on and more like 5-10% in retirement. Ie you can still retain equities but be more focused on less "risky" income investments. Starting at your age you have a huge advantage and that's that you will potentially be paying much less for higher returns later. If you look at investments that show consistent dividend growth over a long period, you'll see that in general (not always!) your yield on cost goes up. A common holding is the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD). If you bought this in February of 2012 your current yield would be north of 10%. I.e. you would have paid around $9/share (vs the current $27-ish) but have a current dividend rate of $0.99 per share. Many examples of this... JNJ, MAIN, V, LMT I'm not recommending these specifically - there are more factors such as total return - just citing them as examples of dividend growth. I mention this because often people are focused on chasing yield when in fact they have a long enough time frame to do far better with much less risk by chasing quality dividend growth investments.

Nice-Swing-9277

Hey dumbass let me explain something to you. I have said twice, and now a 3rd time, thats its too late to do it. I wonder why I think its too late? Do you think that maybe it has to do with how overvalued stocks are and the fact, unlike the 50s-70s, we don't have anything close to a good balance sheet? So why did I say you could just raise debt and collect the spread between the debt interest rate and the investment interest rate? MAYBE I SAID IT BECAUSE, AGAIN, ITS SO LATE IN THE GAME ITS THE ONLY OPTION AVALIABLE??? RIGHT??? SINCE THE GUY WAS ASKING "how would you do it" I ANSWERED THAT QUESTION. BUT I ASSUMED ANYONE READING IT WOUKD BE SMART ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND THAT I DONT AGREE WITH DOING IT, SINCE MY MAIN CONTENTION IS ITS, FOR THE 5TH TIME NOW, ITS TOO LATE IN THE GAME TO DO IT. Let's skip past deleting comments and just delete yourself bro. Your coming in with this shitty attitude and yet you failed to even comprehend the point i was making? The previous poster has a chance, but your dumbass needs to be kicked to the fucking curb. Especially since a massive part of your thesis is the new debt investment MUST come from outside the US, instead of the most likely scenario being that it would resemble the exact same mix of 75% domestic and 25% international that it currently follows. We have no reason to believe domestic investors are just tapped out and it would HAVE to be international. Not that it really matters, because for the 6th time now, ITS TOO LATE IN THE GAME. HOW LATE IT IS NECESSITATES A BAD INVESTMENT POLICY TO EVEN BE TECHNICALLY VIABLE AT ALL, BUT AS I SAID IN MY FIRST POST: "it's too little, too late, and the wrong investment" Don't reply. Literally don't dude. Turn your phone off and go to bed.

princepooters

yes it was REALLY bad. Everything got hit that was beloved by this sub, they were the MAIN stocks getting hit actually. Like NVDA, OKLO, LUNR, COIN, SOUN, RGTI

iceland00

Big shift, in my view. Fundamental positioning by the Fed towards anti-inflationary policy. At most a 0.5% reduction in rates across all of 2025. Long term Treasuries at 4.5%. And I expect that to hold for some time. I cleared completely out of REITs. Took Utilities profits and a lot of dividend ETF profits. Loaded up on CLOZ, JBBB, and bought more MAIN. Bad news for small cap and mid cap.

Wake_1988RN

MAIN is a good one for income.

SweetLobsterBabies

You are right, the top 1% has risen significantly in the years I have held this belief. This also depends on the state you live in, however most states with high levels of income have expanded medicare and give subsidies. After more research into current subsidies and income, I am now talking about the top 10-15% of earners. 10% is about about 166k a year. And places like CA give subsidies to people in that earning range because 166k a year in LA is peanuts. > The plans that actually give real coverage cost like 800-2k a month depending on what you want covered. This is where I actually have a problem though. A silver plan with an out-of-pocket max of around 10k (which is average) is about $400-$500 a month, with no subsidy. Next year, a law takes effect that caps silver plan OOP Max at $7,350. (Side bet, what are the odds insurance companies raise prices over this) Silver plans can cover A LOT, albeit *IN NETWORK* only which is a very important caveat. The reason you seem to think that they "don't cover anything" is because health emergencies require a lot of imaging and specialist visits. These have always cost a lot of money relative to the economy, but the MAIN ISSUE is that hospitals simply *raised their prices* to get more money out of insurance companies. These companies haggle, refuse to pay, and just generally fuck over anyone they can. A lot of places have laws against hospitals billing patients more after the first bill, and laws against hospitals collecting on large bills against low income earners. Unfortunately, low income earners are going to be more frequent fliers due to lack of personal wellness that enables good health, because that shit cost a lot of money. Most people are buying bronze plans. I get that you are in the same boat as me in this battle vs healthcare but you are a bit privileged to be able to swing for a gold plan. You are right though. It can be cheaper to pay invoices instead of insurance. A lot of hospitals and providers have a "cash price" which is significantly less than the price billed to your insurance. But some hospitals and providers also refuse non-emergency customers without insurance. It's literally all a big fucking game. Unfortunately a large amount of us all spawned in a little too late and in the wrong place.

I've worked ever since I was 18 and invested most of my money in assets, stocks, forests, etc. Now I'm finally working at a mon-fri day job and I'm making the same money that I made when I was working day and night as a nurse. Indexes all the way, N100 and SP500, with some stock picks making up 10% of my portfolio: LMT, KO, PEP, O, MAIN, ARCC, HTGC. Forests make up 20% of my money, and there were some arbitrage opportunities in forestry assets last year.

TrueJediPimp

You’re right, as it’s moving back up I’m sitting nice again for next week and can just sit on it. There are 2 MAIN reason I come back to the 1 week expiry on the roll back: 1. Getting back to the 1 week gets me back into more weeks I can roll out to, so this reason can be summarized as “flexibility “ 2. Once I’m back to the 1 week expiry, if the market continues moving away, and my BTC is like .05 or something I sometimes will roll up in price for same week to INCREASE my credit for that week. Like rolling from a 75 strike to an 85 strike for another $1.50 net credit, with it expiring same day. So this reason is just simply premium pumping. But, if I only rolled out like 1 week and it’s Thursday and things are looking good, more often than not I’ll leave it and let it ride.

Everyone who was mad they didn't jump on RKLB, LUNR, ACHR, or any of these other 2000% stocks. This is me telling you that CRNT is next up.

Rule_Of_72T

PSEC is a bottom of the barrel BDC. It often trades at the largest discount to NAV in the industry because everyone knows they keep their NAV propped up to keep management fees high. The management company that PSEC pays unusually high fees to is run by PSEC’s CEO and president. It’s a clear conflict of interest. So while John Barry takes no salary from PSEC, he ensures the big fees keep rolling into his management company. By buying more shares, Barry is able to fend off any other shareholders that would vote to move to a different management company. PSEC is permanent capital that exists to generate fees for Barry. PSEC usually has the highest yielding investment grade bonds as the market recognizes the risk. PSEC has shifted to flooding the market with preferred stock. Preferred stock dividends will remain fixed while common shareholders have rights to the remaining cash flow. Unsurprisingly PSEC recently reduced the dividend to shareholders by 25%. PSEC makes loans to businesses. An unusually high % of those loans are PIK (payment in kind). The companies PSEC lends money to don’t have enough cash to pay them. Eventually, something like PGX happens where the company goes bankrupt and now PSEC takes over a loser of a business. If you want to own a BDC, own a quality company like MAIN, HTGC, or BXSL.

RetiredByFourty

It does have a current yield that is lower but I'm pretty sure that they average annual growth of the dividend outpaces any of those three. I could be wrong and if I am feel free to correct me. By the way I do own O and MAIN both and I'm not dogging on them.

Alex45223

SCHD Seems to have lower dividend yield than O, MAIN, and EFC.

crazybutthole

There are lots of funds and ETFs that pay good dividends. If I were in your spot - I would mix it up .... Maybe xx% in JEPI xx% in JEPQ xx% in MAIN xx% in QYLD xx% in several (3-4? Or more) of those yield max ETFs. I am a big fan of diversification - even if you are going for yield - it's nice to have it spread around so if any fund drops a bit it doesn't seriously impact your wealth I have a subscription to a dividend expert - he recommends spreading your dividend portfolio to at least ten different ETFs or companies. (Since it's a paid subscription I won't go into much details. But it's been working for me.)

There's so much you can do but since you've made significant gains in the stock market will stick with what you know instead of investing outside in a whole other niche... just for now and you can expand to other things that you grow But for now I would say take a nice portion of that and invest in high dividend stocks and ETFs that pay out monthly or quarterly. And I'm not simply focusing on just high yield only. You will have to do a little bit of research. Just because a stock pays a high dividend doesn't mean they're a good stock to hold in your portfolio. I'm talking about companies and ETFs that have a good track record and are consistent YOY. Vanguard bond ETS, Exxon, iShare Treasury bonds, Main Street Capital $MAIN just to mention a few. If you pick the right ETS and stocks you can get paid monthly and reinvest that money back into your portfolio. Accumulate enough and you can retire doing just that. And after you retire you can finally fulfill all your life's side quest. 😉 If you want me to go into an in-depth recommendation that's going to run you a couple bags 💰 😎 jk jk.

Congratulations. One thing I do when taking profits and feeling greedy is to ALWAYS have a trailing stop-loss and move it up higher and higher as the stock price moves in that direction. That way, you protect your capital AND still profited in the day. Even if you moved up your stop-loss and it gets triggered, forget about 'missing out on bigger profits'. The MAIN thing that needs to be ingrained into your mind is that you PROTECTED your capital. Some people don't even put stop-losses, especially on 0dtes, and they are in the green for profit, but they still hold and hold, then next thing you know, it gets fucked, they still hold in hopes of it going back, but it continues to decline and they lose it. One other strategy is that you trim profits and then leave like 10% - 25% remaining as 'runners'. These runners will either become $0 or higher in profit, but you don't care at all because you already profited with 75% of the position and so losing 10% - 25% isn't a big deal. You still protect your capital and will have profit at the end of the day.

If you want to invest with little experience the best thing you can do is spread a wide diverse net - like VOO & VTI (VOO -SP500, VTI - all American companies) If you had invested $10000 in these in January you'd have $13000 now. That's a much better return that you will see buying random small caps and hoping something hits. You might get lucky with one. But it's really fucking hard unless you have a crystal ball and an insane amount of luck. If VOO and VTI isn't your cup of tea - good luck. It's going to be hard to find something better. Maybe BRKB ? Maybe MAIN ? Maybe Google. I don't know. I just put a lot in VOO and VTI. It's working for me.

it is not an investment FFS. Social security also pays disability for people who got hurt or became disabled after working based on their contribution. There is also a part of social security that pays a small amount of money to people who have always been disabled. The main purpose was to SUPPLEMENT retirement, not be the MAIN source of retirement. Americans are so fucked that many people have to rely on it for the sole base of retirement.

Full disclosure. I am long. I have been following the company for years. The MAIN thing is that the Dec FDUCA date is for a resubmission. As noted in announcement, there were no efficacy issues. Just manufacturing, I assume. Browse their site. Death and taxes are guaranteed, but I am long. Keytruda is approved for numerous indications. This would be Checkpoint's first. So 100. Well, i assume not. BUT, if they get approved, could they go 5 or 10 bagger. I hope. Currently only 3.4 bucks and 140 Million cap. Do your own DD. Not a recommendation https://ir.checkpointtx.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/122/checkpoint-therapeutics-announces-fda-acceptance-of-bla

Sounds like robinhood, but at least you are not paying per trade/contract. I did well with onsemi calls and made $8k thus this is house money. My longs are in MMYT and MAIN.

MainStreet Capital (MAIN)... been going up the past several years, plus they pay a nice monthly dividend.

MAIN.. Main Street Capital, becuase at 68 I like the dividend. After that AGNC, for the same reason, will hold it as long as the price stays stable. #3 NVDA, #4 MU, #5MO, #6 OXY.... I keep looking at CVX... probably will be my next big buy in stocks.

SoFi is 7.5% for me, going to keep loading up on it, prob until around 15% (have high faith in it). Also have about 6% in ARCC, MAIN, and OBDC each.

Onpointandicy

I would put it into MAIN and ECC and enjoy the proceeds

The MAIN 2 ways people lose money in trading options are 1) not cutting losses early enough and 2) averaging down instead of cutting losers early. Why adding to a losing trade? Are you confident it’ll turn into winner? I’d just cut my losses and get out while there’s money to be saved. But then again you do you
