  1. I still get irrationally pissed off that Poona had to go the UFA route. Obviously we watched him wreck shop on a weekly basis here in Austin so we're a bit biased, but he was big XII lineman of the year, and  nobody in NFL thought he was worthy of a draft pick? I dont know, maybe it was for the better that he could choose where he signed, but he's one of my favorite longhorns of recent memory. Possibly Strong's best contribution to UT (originally committed to Louisville).

    This is the most awkward gif ever.  Wow

    Ballmer probably goes down as one of the luckiest mofos ever. He was CEO from Jan 13, 2000 (price $48.51) to Feb 4, 2014 (price was 36.35). Note the stock behavior at all times that buffoon was not the CEO. Hard to imagine how rich Gates would be if he didn't fuck up and appoint Ballmer as CEO when he stepped down.

    I’m high end. 
     

    I wonder what would happen if they gave every American 1 million dollars one year.  Ignoring the logistics of the government having, printing, or borrowing that amount of money, but just an experiment where everyone magically gets 1 million added to one of their bank accounts. How would that affect prices, job markets, and other things?  

    im also curious how different people would choose to use their windfall. 
     

    or can I just ask a Kuwaiti citizen?

    If you could put little digital tracking devices on each digital dollar, you could watch it all eventually flow right back into Bezos bank account.

  4. @RCRanger03 whats up with FPVD? Doesnt seem to be trading today, are they relisting to BigToken or some shit?

    NVM. it was stuck on 40 shares since open which is odd for a stock averaging 40 million, bit now seems to be trading again as it just jumped up to 65040 volume.

    who the fuck are these guys? we're more famous than the people saying we're famous

    Quite prestigious in the realm of blogs related to college football messageboards. In fact if you narrow the search down to blogs with only a single post, they really don't have any competition.

    Also the OTC is stonkland and anything is possible

    I'll believe that and its another reason that ALPP probably isnt heading to the big boards anytime soon.  Either the investors in IA had no idea of the value of their IP so they fucked up and gave it all away to ALPP shareholders, or the value of ALPP is much higher than it should be. ALPPs core revenue stream is low margin metal manufacturing and contract manufacturing. Here's a metal manufacturing business (GIFI) with revenues of $300 million and a market cap less than 1/5 of ALPP. 

    All that being said, I hope that fucker runs to $20 and you get all the scotch. just saying the current valuation seems "off".

     

  7. Something seems odd about this entire thing, but thats OTC stocks for you. The acquisition of a company with a handful of employees causes ALPP to increase from $.05 to $2.50 in 6 weeks? There are dozens of drone companies that are much further along, with greater funding and higher revenue (AVAV for instance), and there are hundreds of engineers that have left TSLA to work somewhere else. Yet somehow a combination of those two facts  allowed the acquisition of a company whose investors were willing to sell for a few million to spike  ALPP's valuation by 50X. If IA's inherent value is truly worth $200 million in market cap, why would the investors sell for a few million and let ALPP shareholders profit. What percentage of ALPP did the investors of IA get, because the market has determined that ALPP with IA is 50X more valuable than ALPP without IA.

    On ALPP, just in case it happens and it would be a good problem to have, but IF it continues to rocket and hits $3.50 there is a going to be a epic sell off. Many people have a sell order at or around that number because of the Airbus eval. That $0.50 dip from yesterday will be small in comparison, I'm talking it might go down a $1 or more ESPECIALLY if it does it on a hot streak like it has right now.

    Not telling you what to do there, just putting that expectation out. 

    Its a great run, but there will be others. There are always other

    TSNP is still on simmer... higher risk, but even as an ALPP stan I'd say it's ceiling is WAY higher. I've got $10k in just waiting for the fireworks

    Or if you prefer to get in at a lower stage, but with great potential. FPVD isn't at a bad price.

    Or if you want to go full stonklife join us in XMET and our new Chinese Overlords

    I know you have done your research, so what is the significance of $3.50 and Airbus? Google search leads me to nothing.

    I know, I just labeled it that because I know he wears those oversized shoulder pads in otherwise decent suits to compensate for his slender shoulders.  Nothing wrong with shoulders like that, they just don't match the rest of his body type.  For a barrel-chested guy at 6'3", he should have broader shoulders and larger hands.  I know it bugs him.  Even his golf attire tries to exaggerate his shoulders and hands.  It's one thing in a suit, another thing in his goofy white polo/white khakis course ensemble.  I can't believe his fashion guru wife lets him hit the links like that.  

    It's the tennis attire that really accentuates his Adonis-like physique

    I have a chunk of SPY 358 puts that I picked up right at market close Friday for $.09 that would pay off nicely if we get down in that neighborhood.  premarket briefly cracked 360 but its already back over 363 and will probably be green by open. 

    fucking had to dump them at the open for .25. All I needed was that sub-360 level to hold to market open, but no dice.

    Despite being behind bars “Pharma Bro” Martin Shkreli just can't stop making headlines.

    Apparently one New York journalist did get a bit lost in Martin’s sauce, as a new Elle feature reveals how former Bloomberg News reporter Christie Smythe fell in love with the notorious grifter while covering his various legal battles and controversies. Smythe would eventually leave her husband and career for a relationship with the 37-year-old, who is currently serving a seven-year sentence.

    “I fell down the rabbit hole,” Smythe told Elle of her life-changing relationship. “I’m happy here. I feel like I have purpose.”

    Smythe, who has sold the movie rights to a book about Shkreli, is still planning to wait for her boo behind bars, even though (mild spoiler alert) he now isn’t speaking to her because of the Elle story.

    “Mr. Shkreli wishes Ms. Smythe the best of luck in her future endeavors,” a statement from Shkreli said to the magazine.

    Before getting entangled with one of the most hated people in the world, Smythe lived “the perfect little Brooklyn life” with her dog and husband. Now she works out of her Harlem basement apartment waiting for Shkreli — a man best known for jacking up the price of life-saving drugs. She also froze her eggs to make sure they would be able to have children once her “life partner” is released from prison.

    “I’m gonna try,” she said. “I’ll be here.”

    Smythe began reporting about Shkreli for Bloomberg in 2015, covering his various trials and visiting him in prison, before eventually quitting her reporting job over the relationship in the summer of 2018. Smythe described the development of their romance as “incremental decisions, where you’re, like, slowly boiling yourself to death in the bathtub.”

    Eventually she confessed her love for Shkreli in a prison visitation room that smelled like chicken wings. “He told me he loved me, too," she told Elle. "It’s hard to think of a time when I felt happier.”

    Fellow journalists and others online poked fun at this whirlwind romance between a successful reporter and the man who paid $2 million for a Wu-Tang record.

    She seems perfectly stable
