  1. Woof, wish I didn't start Jackson in Fantasy
  2. Closing the loop on this... I tried to validate ID but it got flagged since that was already in use with another account. After some back and forth with customer service they told me since my son was under 13 they don't allow anyone that age to have an account even with parental permission. They ended up refunding me everything I had spent on packs and the marketplace which is nice but confiscated the moments and the dapper account. Suck since I had at least $800 in dapper, not counting the moments value. FYI, for anyone else that did something similar.
  3. My options are at 162% profit... maybe I'll sell half. Or just hold for the moon!
  4. Nice. Is it time to just exit this thing or do we have some real upside in the next 12 months?
  5. Some more info here: Will be cold later this month. Something right on the water could get brutal. Marriott Long Wharf for closer to the North End and historic stuff Envoy (Waterfront) for where all the new stuff is Off the Water Back Bay is a central area close to the schools.
  6. Ha... can we wager the horse itself? Winner takes all the other horses in the race. Not interest in taking over racing but I'm all for holding on to the horses we have a see what happens. It's no BAYC but the floor is still probably a bit higher than where we all got in correct?
  7. I need cash to buy at the call price correct? So if I have 5 options at $5 call price I would need $2500 to cover and the $2 I spent to buy the options would just be gone at that point. Would the options price be a similar return the day before closing? So in your example of selling right before they expire would that upside be expected to be around the same? Taking the $50 price target my upside of taking the shares would be $50 - $7 * $500 - $21,500. So I guess I should expect that the options price get closer to the actual asset price the closer to expiration? So if you sell 5min before that would be right at $50 in our example so that's a slightly higher upside $48 - 2 *500 $23,000. Do I have that right?
  8. Need to check the TM list but any spots y'all would recommend between Austin and Marfa? Leaving in the morning so something around mid way.
  9. And now has COVID. GBTC still perplexes me. Down to around a 21% discount. I would think this is a buying opp but damn, does this think ever get back to trading even?
  10. What's that theoretical timeline? Holding these options i'm wondering when you should sell them prior or whether it's a good idea to hold them through expiration if they keep going up. I'm a total novice at options btw
  11. 2023 Jan calls up 31% today. Only have 4, but that's something. Just need it to moon and balance out my $RXMD loser.
  12. Yea. I def need to upgrade my WR but have had any takers. Even the guy with McCaffery Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Like Fitlump is so much worse that so much of the other trash occupying the council. I'm not a fan by any means but let's face it... the clown show is full of clowns. I'm not sure they can do anything but it does feel like having more officers that can come out to at least patrol the area that a crime was just committed would benefit. Police presence in neighborhood feels like it would at least deter increased criminal activity. Maybe that's unfounded but it feels like it would be a benefit.
  14. I have Elliott, Swift, Hubbard and Mixon and can start 2. Also have K Allen, Waddle J Meyers, Golladay and Hilton and need to start 3. Right now I have in: Elliott and Swift Allen, Waddle and Meyers. Changes?
  15. I joined the queue but then forgot about it so have no idea if I made the cut... oh well
  16. Avg sale in Austin overall is meaningless. These houses are in central Austin. I have not seen much of anything new build in central Austin less than 1.5M
  17. https://austin.culturemap.com/news/real-estate/09-10-21-3d-printed-homes-new-neighborhood-east-austin-market-for-more-than-700000/ There is a thread on this in Daily Texan
  18. Meaning If I were to come home to a burglarized home I want the ability to call 911 and have the police come out to investigate. Not be forced to call 311 and potentially leave a message that never gets answered. From what i've read, 311 does not mean anyone will be there eventually. That something that will likely become a problem everywhere. It's feels like a poor time to become a police officer. My nephew was an MP in the Marines with a plan to become one but when he got out last year he decided against it.
  19. They should have just campaigned that voting for Prop A will mean the city can now start really enforcing the camping ban... I drove down Pleasant Valley just south of the river along the running trail and it looks like a fucking Boy Scout campground out there
  20. Joseph Chacon has said he is against Prop A no? To be clear i'm not saying Prop A is the answer. I don't know what the answer is. However I see the city wanting to spend 400M to help 3000 homeless so they are just as responsible with their dumb spending choices
  21. For sure... i'm only had to call 911 a few times over the last few years and both times I did have an officer there within 30 min or so. But this being recent or something that's been happening for years shouldn't matter. Either way it does feel like it's something that will make the city unsafer. The city is now announcing to all the crooks out there there might not even be a response... so go ahead and rob that house. To me, making that response time faster sounds like a better use of funds.
  22. Well this does show Austin in a really good light. To the point about budget being back to levels from 2 years ago, it's not crazy to think we would need more budget considering more people and rising costs of the last two years. Maybe it's just Save Austin Now talking points but it's still concerning to hear from the city that we should no longer call 911 and instead call 311 and prepare to wait or leave a message. Is this something that all cities are now experiencing and just par for the course... or is Austin mismanaging the budget they do have? If I have 400M to spend, I do think using it towards protecting all citizens of Austin is a better use of that then just trying to house 3000 homeless.
  23. I'm not loving IBRX right now... ugh
  24. Except for the $100 they will take regardless of outcome
  25. What's old is new again. This was how they did it years ago and then they changed it to only using BIS miles for status since everyone and their brother were Exec Platinum. I'm indifferent as I don't fly very much anymore but I wonder if this just continues to water down the perks.
