  1. MEWN IT... I could use a better run for $WORK... I would have thought retracing some steps and WFH should be helpful.
  2. I'd ask to see the ROI on that 41B before deciding whether we should fund more or reduce. I'm sure there are lots of other impactful ways of spending the 99%
  3. Decent shower going on in the Downtown area. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. I think $BYND upside is limited in the short term but still a decent long term hold. I sold about half of mine and letting the rest ride for now. I have not found much else that I really want to invest in at this point.
  5. I guess I could elaborate more by saying it's very unlikely that this is fully controlled until herd immunity and/or vaccine which is probably unlikely until 2021. Yes, we starting opening in May but my point is we had to start re-opening eventually and when we did case were going to spike. We can debate the speed at which we opened but some reopening needed to happen.
  6. I really doubt anyones wife(even those that work) are too busy to gripe.
  7. We could have waited until June or July and we would still be right here just a few months later... this isn't going away, isn't the goal just to contain as much as possible within reason? I do find it funny that mandating masks at the state level is such a trigger event for everyone.
  8. Early Fathers Day gift from the wife. She found it at a Twin in Austin. Yep, it’s a 1.75! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Was just wondering if a thread like this was started yet. Watching closely for sure as our PreSchool was cancelled once this hit and we have not gone back. However in August both kids would be in the program however if they stay home that going to be a big inconvenience for sure as we are both still working from home. I think both our offices are saying we don't go back in until at least 2021 but kids at home is not good on productivity as many of you know. And I don't even want to get started on the tuition I'm paying for BS "online learning"
  10. Do we have any indication on why Texas is being more impacted than anywhere else? I can't imagine Texas is doing anything different than many of the other states where business have started opening up. Has Texas opened at a faster rate that every other state?
  11. What would you guess the percentage of people wearing masks in Austin is? Even conservatively I'd say it's 70-80% which is pretty good. Tack on that extra 20% and would the virus levels have gone down since Memorial Day? IDK My point is that overall I think Austin is doing a good job following advice... we will always have a few people that don't follow every order. Speed limits are set to save lives too.
  12. Have you ever left your house without a mask? I know I have and either had to go back and grab it or alter my plans on what I was going to pickup. I don't think it's a huge issue (although my cloth mask is starting to get a bit hot) but maybe we could get more disposable masks placed out for use. There will always be some folks that refuse for various reasons but that's always going to exist. But if we all wear masks will that really have that much more of an impact? Not sold on that... I do it because I'm asked to do my part.
  13. So now we need to dedicate law enforcement to patrolling stores and handing out tickets? That does not sound like the best use of their time to me. By my experience the majority of people in every store I've been in are wearing masks. (Yet we are at higher levels than when no one was wearing masks) How are you going to convince people to put all this effort into mandating masks across the state and find some way of enforcement. I'm fine for leaving it to the individual establishments to require a mask and ask people to leave if they don't comply. If there are a few people not wearing masks in Home Depot do that really significantly increase someone else's chance of contracting COVID (that is taking the precautions of masks and hand washing) to the point that we should be thinking about mandating it? We have slowed the spread, flattened the curve and our hospitals are not being overrun. Are some of you really in favor of shutting everything down again?
  14. I tend to listen to the individual with a gun prior to the recommendations of city council members who really know nothing and are no where to be found. Do restaurants and business not already have the ability to require masks? Why would mandating it at the state level make it more effective? I actually think Austin overall is doing a great job of wearing masks than areas farther out (Hays county for example). Most places I go I see the majority of people wearing them.
  15. I'm on the ALPP train. Interested to see what happens with $SNVP and may come in on that as well.
  16. To add to this I have an automatic pool cover and it's been great. You do have to get them maintained every now and then but I personally think it's better than either a fence or the "Catch a Kid". Draw backs are that you either need to open them up when it rains or have a sump pump on hand to remove the water. I saw the note on the skimmer running which is interesting... definitely don't want too much water and the weight or a lot of water can cause issues. Interested if that skimmer can handle the massive rain storms that we tend to get. I also find myself opening it up over night by July/August otherwise I feel it acts as na oven and does not let the heat escape therefore keeping the water warm. Pros are it's easy to cover/uncover therefore you won't run into the issue of needing to help the wife take off the net and therefore keep any barriers away from not wanting to use the pool. You can lock the cover switch with a key so when you travel or just want to make sure you keep kids out. Also when closed you can keep the grass out of your pool when cutting/trimming around it if you don't have decking. During rain the pool stays cleaner since you are not letting a ton of dirty rain water wash into your pool.
  17. $OKE down some more on the stock offering, starting to look good to add more. I bought $BA and $MAR on the dip yesterday $ZM keeping the run up but wtf is going on with $WORK?
  18. Fuck sitting in a 10x10 room for any extended period of time. Plus I thought the dorms closed and people had to move out?
  19. I'm considering buying $BA sub $180. If O&G comes down a bit more I'll likely just add to what I already bought a month or two ago on $XOM and $OKE. Other than that seeing S&P come down a few hundred points so I can buy SPY and a few other stocks that I have not picked up yet.
  20. To go into cash waiting for a better reentry? I've gone cash in a few stocks that have run back up but not yet touched anything in my 401K target funds.
  21. $BYND having a nice day... not as nice as SmallCap O&G but I'll take it
  22. I'm scaling back on some of the O&G stocks I own as I think this went down too far and now bounced back. Probably will keep XOM and OKE for the dividends and just add if we go back down. Still of the mindset there will be good companies later in the summer that will present some buying opportunities.
  23. About 50% invested. Conflicted on whether I start selling gains or hold and just buy more if we go back down this summer. Anyone like $ZI here?
