  1. I've got a Honda Pioneer 700-4, so the bed turns into two bucket seats. It's great for what we use it for but my kids are pretty small and the backseat could get a little cramped for bigger kids. I use it almost every day and am very happy with it. I've driven most of them and I'd say that the Mules seems more sluggish/under powered than the Polaris, Honda, and Can-Ams that I've been in. They are bombproof though. Why don't you really let your nuts hang and go for a Tomcar? https://tomcar.com/ My boss has two of these for riding the mining trails around Crested Butte and they are the baddest MF'ers around. Some of the trails that I've driven up/over/through in these things are unbelievable. Trails that I would never dream of taking my Honda up because it would rip up a tie rod within minutes.
  2. Sort of - there's this: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/GBTC?p=GBTC h/t to GRHorn. I bought some of it a while back and have an open order for more if BTC pulls back again.
  3. I have to say, I really like how much easier the convo/information flows on Discord. Thanks to everyone who had the idea and made it happen!
  4. Good thing they had those bumpers out.
  5. GMAFB. You and your ilk would be masturbating furiously if this was Trump blowing up some more brown people, so don't act like you give a shit about this. It's all about keeping score and trying to pwn the libs - no discussion of the actual implications or reasons for the military action. Just post a few tweets, play the victim card/bitch about the MSM, make a few "funny" jokes about Harris being the actual POTUS, and let the good times roll. Amirite? I haven't read up on this bombing yet, but I don't support this type of action no matter who the president is. It's an example of executive power run amok and is yet another area where the legislative branch should reassert its authority.
  6. Okay, okay, this kool aide is starting to taste better to me now.
  7. I feel like I’m on Shark Tank and the guy is about to get crushed by the sharks for not having any focus in his company.
  8. @SydneyCarton I think you've done a great job at explaining all of this and the REPs are getting unfairly crammed into the middle of this shit-smeared clown car.
  9. The existence of the retail electricity market in Texas is no doubt beneficial to consumers, I'm not sure there is a reasonable argument to be made to the contrary. Where I get hung up is that "deregulated" should not equal "no regulation at all." i.e., if you want to sell power to the ERCOT grid, then you need to satisfy X, Y and Z AND we are going to come check on X, Y and Z periodically to ensure you are actually compliant. I'm not a fan of all regulation, but when it comes to things like reliable electricity and safe drinking water then I think the free market has shown repeatedly that it cannot be trusted to do the right thing and reasonable regulation is necessary.
  10. Good info, thanks TexasEd. Depending on how far (if?) TSNP falls next week this could def. apply to me. I bailed on my real work and spent some time on the phone with Vanguard, who were actually very helpful btw. I've got an open order to sell 40% of my shares at $4.15. I stayed on the phone with them for a bit to see if the order would fill, but he said they had orders for ~500k+ shares they were trying to fill at lower prices and price/time priority dictated those orders would be filled first. So, maybe it would be trading much lower if all retails could trade online this morning?
  11. Called Vanguard and got on the phone with someone pretty quick - bottom line is I can trade it over the phone but it won't be updated in their system and available to trade online until Monday. I didn't do anything yet, but might trim my position by 50% if I can sell at $4+ I feel like this would be a blood bath if more retail investors could actually trade it this morning. All my shit is on a 15 minute delay which is a real kick in the dick too.
  12. Vanguard hasn't unfucked itself on TSNP yet, so it looks like my decision for this morning may have been made for me. I don't have time this morning to call and harangue them about so it looks like we are going yolo.
  13. Ahh, thank you Sam. That's exactly what I was was looking for.
  14. Vanguard allows you the option of FI - FO or selecting the # of shares from each lot that you want to sell. This was driving my question on exit strategy on the stonks thread - and I had the same conundrum that @cam4mav describes in mind. I have 7 different lots ranging from .315 to 1.25. My thought was that if I really think this it's going to crater over the next week but ultimately bounce back, to sell everything that is in the money tomorrow morning and hold the lots are at .87, 1.05, and 1.25. I'd then have a specific target to get back in, but really would have no clue how ugly this could get tomorrow. But I'm a stonk noob and am really struggling with how to best play it now that all of this new shit has come to light.
  15. I’ll be interested to read what you’re thinking after you gather your thoughts. RE: giving advanced notice of the R/S - it seems like it’s going to cause jitters no matter when you tell people your plans. If you give advanced notice then some investors are going to get jittery and bail right then, or you wait and people freak when you spring it on them. Nothing changed on the value proposition yet. I’d be more concerned if they had a PR and said the app was going to be delayed until next year or some such. Or maybe I’m just rationalizing and hoping I’m not about to lose my ass. I absolutely wish I would have sold some up above $1.75, but that window wasn’t open for very long.
  16. "Quell the volatility?" That's kind of what we're after here my dudes. And yea, George is salty af on Twitter this afternoon. The split doesn't bother me that much - much different than a 100-1/1000-1 split.
  17. Sorry, I should have included that they are all short term cap gains. Good point on cap gains taxes potentially going up. If my plan is to hold some long term for a potential moonshot then I may as well take the hit on the most profitable shares now. Although if TSNP goes to $10, it's not going to make that much of a difference if I bought the shares at $.31 or if I bought them today at $.87. @Cheeseweasel
  18. Furk! I can't help myself on TSNP, bought another chunk at .87
  19. Dumb question that I tried to do some quick googling on but can't find an answer to: If you have multiple entries into a stock at various prices and are looking to trim positions that are all in the money, what is the correct exit strategy? Do you take the tax hit and select the shares to sell that are the most in the money? I guess that is the only way to do it if you are trying to take profits/"Get on free shares," but I wasn't sure if I'm missing something and should just select FIFO.
  20. Good info. I had a client with GOM assets tell me they were shut in because of the temps last week too, but like you said, I'm not sure if it was due to wellhead issues/heater treaters/amines/compression, etc. They couldn't get their product out of the ground and were calling me asking if they had business interruption coverage (they don't).
  21. I use Schwab for my stonking - it doesn't seem to GAF about the shadiness of the securities you're trying to trade and trades are free.
  22. Absolutely. I was mainly sharing my client's experience last week because I think Bookman was originally skeptical that any pipelines froze. I guess you could argue the semantics that it was gathering lines and not transmission lines that froze (AFAIK), but the feedstock having issues is the main thing that matters IMO.
  23. I heard from a client yesterday that their entire field in the EF froze up last week. They are relatively new and only operate about 10 wells at the moment, so a small sample size, but the bottom line is the feedstock for the NG plants (among other things) let them down. I don't know how you get around that at the field level - seems like it would be cost prohibitive to winterize every single wellhead/facility in the EF. But maybe not, I really know fuck-all about what materials you would need to keep wellheads and gathering lines/small treatment plants from freezing up.
  24. I took a little nibble on SPSO as well. I'm going to have to start trimming pretty soon. I've taken a flier on a few of #SupDup's picks too, but none of those are ripe for pruning yet. I really need TSNP to go on another run so I can right-size my stonk account. I'm top heavy AF with that one at the moment. Thanks for sharing RC, I promise I won't make any death threats if we lose money on some of these. That's f'n absurd and there's no way I'd continue to post over on stocktwits if those fuckers are going to behave like that.
