    Well first of all for the 2nd point...a short position has to be closed at some point. That's why squeezes work, a short is obligated to buy shares to close position.

    For the first point.. Berkshire trades at 434k currently, there is plenty of money in the market to cover.

    How do the people that don't sell before the last short position covers cash out?

  2. I have a question for you GME/AMC diamond apes...

     

    I've seen people (mostly on other sites) claiming they are holding until ridiculous prices like $500K.  Assuming these hedge funds start getting margin called and forced to cover their positions and the price skyrockets, isn't there a price point where the hedge funds don't have the money to cover the positions?  If they are short tens of thousands of shares, where do they come up with the capital to cover if the prices hits $10K, $50K, $100K, etc.?  What happens then?

     

    Next question, if all the short positions are forced to cover and the price does shoot up to $500K, how do the retail holders cash out?  Every transaction needs 2 sides, and who is paying $500K for a single share of a company not currently turning a profit?  Isn't the smart move to sell some shares on the way up, and not hold out for an astronomical price point like $500K?

     

  3. I went in '13 too and the trip was awesome.  Met a girl at some bar Friday night and invited us to her family tailgate in the Blue Lot.  The tailgate was great, probably had 6-8 moonshine shots with beer and food too.  They wouldn't accept any money afterwards.  At the time they were the only Big 12 school that served beer in the stadium.

     

    Definitely stay in Morgantown.  There is a horse track with a full casino south of Pittsburgh on way from airport to Morgantown that makes for a nice stop.  We were also able to go to the Steelers game on Sunday before heading to airport.

  4. Checked out Aria and didn’t really fall in love with anything.  The Cosmo wraparound and bungalow look pretty cool so will add those to the list. Never been to O before either so will book that too.  Does Cosmo have Cabanas you can book for the day? Also, is the scene there more young and party balls or older and party balls like older people?
    ideal situation would be upscale, not young party obnoxious crowd, good spa, pool with cabanas, room with a balcony or pool/hot tub and if it overlooks the fountains that would be a plus. 

    Check out the Lanai Suites at Cosmo. They are nice 2 story suites that have a small porch with a private hot tub. It also open late to the non pool party pool. You can rent cabanas there and it’s a little more laid back. The spa is also on the same floor in the hotel.

    Very much like a week. Sorry, but I was actually agreeing with you by way of dropping it into the sar chasm.

    FTR, virtually every kinda-sorta positive response/request seems to be ignorant of investigatory nomenclature, all of them calling for the cause of death - what we really want is the manner of death. The cause in a given occurrence might be "knife wound". But that cause doesn't tell us diddle e shit about the manner, which might be "accident", or "suicide", or "homicide", but likely not either of "natural" or "undetermined".

  6. Thanks! We aren't super serious, but had that impression off of Bali Hai also. 
    I looked at Cascata, and it looks INCREDIBLE, but my skills and wallet can't justify close to that price tag. 
    I'll look into Summerlin also, thanks again!!

    Angel Park is in the same area as the TPC courses and is a good value. The TPC courses are better though.

    Cross-posting from golf thread:

    Looking at some June Vegas golf, any thoughts on:

    Reflection Bay

    TPC Vegas

    Bear's Best

    Rio Secco

    Bali Hai

    We are also possibly looking at Paiute, hell of a deal for $185 for 36 holes, lunch, and rental clubs. 

    Out of those, I have only played Bali Hai and Paiute.

     

    Bali Hai isn't the best course and doesn't have a driving range, but it is nice enough and the convenience can't be beat.  It's more of a party course where you will see an attractive cart girl every other hole, bust may also be stuck behind a group of jerkoffs.  If you aren't going with real serious golfers it's a great course.

     

    Paiute is great, but it a pretty long ride from the Strip.  If you are willing to go that far, check out Cascata.  It's expensive ($450 I think) but the course is amazing and about about the same distance or a little closer.  It was pretty wide open when we played as well.

     

    I played TPC Summerlin which is right next to TPC Vegas and have heard they are pretty similar.  I think it's a great compromise is your group aren't all casual golfers and don't want to ride an hour each way to a nice course, and if they are all ultra serious and don't want the party atmosphere of Bali Hai.
