Hello.

I am looking specifically for "outlet"-type stores in Paris that sell discounted lesser-known European clothing brands (in other words, no Dior, YSL, etc.). I am fine if the store sells both mens and womens, and ideally it will be multi-brand.

I am happy for the stuff to be past season but want new (not second-hand/consignment) clothing.

I saw online a recommendation to try L'Habilleur or La Piscine Francs-Bourgeois, but I am eager to hear other ideas.

Thank you.

Hi, all.

I've already gotten to see Cascais/Sintra (including the stunning Praia da Ursa) and also spent a few days in and around Lagos.

For those who have seen all of the above in addition to Madeira, is it correct that Madeira is a lot more beautiful?

Thank you.

I would use the service perhaps once every two months, always to send small amounts (<$100) of money. I needed to switch the bank account linked to my Venmo account (from one well-known US bank to another), and suddenly Venmo wants me to send a copy of my Driver's license and separate proof of address.

Do we know why this is?

Hi, all.

If I arrive in Reykjavik in the morning and depart in the morning, staying for basically 4 full days, is it pretty much universally agreed that trying to see all of the below is going to be horrific?

• Snaefellsness (incl Djúpalónssandur)
• Westman Islands
• Skógafoss & Gljufrabui
• Jokulsarlon

What happens if I give it 5 full days, or still too hectic?

(I realize Jokulsarlon is a major time commitment, but I keep hearing everyone say it is really amazing.)

Bears:

SPCX opened nice and low . . . and then what?

And does this mean tomorrow is going to be even fuglier?

Which vehicle(s) are you using (and why) to partake in the fun?

• Shorting the actual SPCX shares
• Buying puts
• Buying put spreads
• Buying an inverse ETF

In the absence of any publicly available information . . .

And will you come back out of hibernation tomorrow AM?

Hi, all.

I am very intrigued by a comment I saw related to the upcoming Dolly musical in which someone said "no one ever does" in response to a question about whether the producers will fix the (alleged) myriad problems with the show prior to its Broadway debut.

I ask because I remember discussing the subject of previews with a Broadway insider about 10 years ago, jokingly asking what the point of the whole thing was. At the time, he told me that shows absolutely made changes based on previews alone -- regardless of how things may have gone in tryouts -- and that many shows had pulled entire numbers days before opening. I found that shocking.

Is it correct that this used to happen a long time ago and today never does? What do we think the reason is? Is it just that audiences gush over every production (tryouts and previews) or that their feedback is all over the place (and thus difficult for the producers to assimilate into actual enhancements)?

Hi, all.

I am looking ideally for a lighter colored, cool-toned liquid eyebrow pen. Basically, I want a lighter version of the Anastasia Taupe Brow pen. If that doesn't work out, then I'll go the way of either a soft eyebrow pencil or a brow mascara/wax, but I am having a hard time locating the right color, either way. Nearly everything on the market is too warm/neutral or too dark.

Color shown here against fair skin is the MAC eyeshadow Omega, which is described as a beige taupe. Swatched side-by-side yesterday against the Benefit Brow Wax in Cool Light Blonde, I would say the Benefit is almost identical but perhaps a tiny bit lighter. Both of these are a good color match, but I think both are still a bit too neutral for me and perfection would be something with a tiny bit more grey (i.e., less neutral/brown) without going darker.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Hi, all.

Obviously, I can rotate some of my equity holdings into Treasuries, but I am wondering if it's better to put at least some of my money into an ETF like CAOS so I can benefit if/when the market goes down. I am considering doing either that, or just buying some long-dated, OTM puts. (Leveraged inverse ETFs are not something I want to entertain.)

The consensus from prior posts seems to allege that CAOS will not go up much (in theory) if there is just a general market decline -- even significant -- if spread out over several months and that the fund will really only go up if there is a crash. Do most people agree with that, or are those posters just "guessing"?

Thank you.

I have been on hold for more than 23 minutes, trying to check on the status of a new account. I don't think Fidelity has ever made me wait even 3 minutes.
