  1. They had already paid out 450k - I paid a lot less but get all my stuff reinsured annually. Then prices crashed a couple years later and at auction it was 100ish with no box and papers. I got it back and sold it. The AD watch stores hate it when you sell but I disclosed it all to them and insurance. The watch company didn’t care as I told them I don’t feel like wearing something with that bad juju. As for insurance…That’s their policy and why you overpay for Chubb.
  2. Well they’re all gone now, one way or the other. Did well on them. Onward!
  3. Makes a big difference. On a 150k watch original box is worth a few grand. Papers may be worth 1/3 of the watch. As in buying it ‘naked’ loses at least 1/3 of the value. High end watches come with all kinds of shit as ‘the box’. Missing it all costs you thousands.
  4. Usually the first person who buys it hot is told do NOT take it to the dealer. Well when THAT person sells it, they usually don't say shit and some poor shmuck takes it back to the dealer and they run the serial on every one they service. If it pops up stolen they keep it and that bastard loses all his money. That's what happened here, and it's not uncommon at all per the cops and AD.
  5. Got a couple new ones now, but yes...keep the beater RR in Chicago. Lessons learned. Was an RM and they found it 2 years later, lol. Chubb lets you buy it back at auction and I picked it off for dirt cheap since I'm the only one with box and papers. They also let you keep entire amount they paid you out on. Better to be lucky than good...
  6. I've posted several screenshots here of me telling many of them they're idiots. I'm also not gonna go over the top until a lot more of my net worth is liquid and not tied to my company that Cantor of all people is signed on to sell. But I enjoy working and still see patients because I enjoy it, so it can all go away and I'm fine. Which is probably why I talk any shit at all, unlike most who keep their mouth shut. I also have no kids by design and basically no will. It's all going to the govt and charity at some point anyway, and I'm fine living like that. I've had many tell me I'm a weird MF but that's probably why I fit in well around here.
  7. LOL, it's a put strategy by JPM - I highly doubt JPM has their HNW clients in a ponzi.
  8. My guys like Trump - like most in that cesspool space, but knew early on it was gonna be very rocky. Pulled me out and have me in a 9% product that has averaged 9% for a long time...I was always in that product but not 90% in. Even through the mess last few months it keeps checking off 8.5-9.5. Anyways, I think most of those guys are useless but my clowns did come through, this once. And they 100% thought some serious bullshit was coming down the pike as soon as dipshit was elected.
  9. Example eleventy billion of him being a malignant narcissist. People keep trying to find some deeper plot for this admin - it doesn't exist. Anyone who kisses his ass gets a bone thrown their way. And that's why his 'policy' won't stay in any one direction for any significant amount of time. It would be truly scary if smart people with a real plot they wanted to stick with were in charge. This sucks but it's not some massive underground plan that's being followed. I don't blame Zelensky one bit for what he did at the WH but I do maintain if he poured it on thick with dumbfuck, he may have gotten some concessions - even if only temporary - until Vlad buttered Trump up. And we know Vlad has more access to Trump and our entire R govt so any progress wasn't gonna last for Ukraine.
  10. Devil Dawgs good but so many amazing options I go there maybe 1x a year even though the condo is 2 blocks from there (Rush location).
  11. Fly back and forth between Miami and Chicago almost every week. Now that I spend more time in Miami vs Chicago I really miss the days I’m not there. Even the damn winter is fine with me - best city for the holidays in the country. And imo best summer city in the country. Cant wait to head back tomorrow… Trying to get decent pizza in Miami blows…on door dash anyway. And I’m not leaving my couch on rainy Sunday in Miami.
  12. Use this all the time. Gets more and more appropriate, sadly.
  13. You really can't make this shit up. Putin absolutely has to be laughing his ass off. Also the foxnews effort to try to 'no big deal' this one is pathetic - even by their pathetic standards.
  14. If you want the real Rome, go the first week in January. I’m serious. Three kings holiday. 90% of what’s going on is with locals. They have their largest annual sales event if you’re into shopping. It’s not like here where there’s always sales. Weather moderate. From Chicago so 50’s was just fine. Highly recommend. edit: and my family in Texas is so sick of baking for 8 months, 50’s is quite literally the perfect temp for them…I’m sure many of you are the same.
  15. Yeah that’s how many shitty ones grow. We don’t externally market to patients at all. We get contracts based on outcomes. Lower readmission rates etc. Those are tied to what’s best for patients the vast majority of times. There’s exceptions like the person with stage 4 cancer who’s on 8L supplemental O2 who is a very clear hospice patient but refuses to go hospice. We, with social workers, would encourage hospice and break the cycle of basically readmitting right away after any discharge - some would argue that’s worse for the patient but not many physicians, PE backed or otherwise, would agree.
  16. And I came here wishing Alex was dead. Such a vile cunt.
  17. I will say his actions have not been as bad as I would have guessed. It was a very low bar. But he seems to say a lot of batshit crazy shit but then back off when the trial balloon explodes like it usually does… yay?
  18. Makes sense. Remember Chicago style dogs have mustard. Not ketchup. But PE so…all bets off. And why don’t those assholes open them up in Chicago? Do these dipshits even TAM?
  19. Our funds take money from Europe. So that means we do ESG to the 9th degree. I also think that’s not the norm with PE. But again, the terrible ones will stand out. Fuck those people.
  20. More than fair, just had some recent arguments with Texans talking shit about Chicago and we skated around politics but those were not these Surly Texans...also, I'm pretty good at talking shit so they didn't have much to say after 10 minutes...and I owe much of my shit talking acumen to this place. So, thank you...
  21. LOL, PE absolutely does not ruin everything it touches. Christ. And I did laugh at the Chicago bit but let's be honest, Chicago has a lot less assholes than Texas. Take a look in the mirror at your clown ass state.
  22. Yep, I started my group myself and did one exit in Jan 2019 and another planned this summer. All these deals are NOT created equal. In many/most instances where the founder doc stays engaged and actually spends money on proper representation, on an exit, things are totally fine and patients are thankful their docs are generally in a better mood due to a better lifestyle / better pay. One huge caveat, we're the platform company meaning when we buy you're under me/us. If you are not you have little to no power when you sell. But the billing out of network etc is zero issue with us and nobody has ever told me/us how to practice. But just like anything else if you give the banks too much power they'll run anything over for the good ole dollar. Also, the platform company is 100% owned by the friendly physician. We're in 45 states and have 1500 doctors. If they really wanted to push me there's several states I could just say fuck off and take over the operation on my own - again, it won't happen because we have a great relationship but I'm here to tell you, many times those PE firms are acting like that because a shady/soft doctor is letting it happen. There's my 2 cents, flame away.
  23. It will only work if this admin causes them pain - in meaningful numbers. And that may actually be happening. Hammering anyone by saying shit does jack shit.
  24. NC. What a joke
  25. LOL, basically nothing happening in Chi. Some venezuelan gangbangers were arrested and that's about all I've heard. All talk and bullshit. Like Brisket said, just a 'look over there' tactic while they line their own pockets. Proud of Chicago.
