  1. so sell and take my 24 hour loss, or average down on my cost? sit and hold could be best, but it is a boring way to lose money...
  2. Next star (or flash in the pan) on tour is debuting this week on the Korn Ferry - 15 year old Miles Russell No 1 ranked junior, high school freshman. He missed the Monday qualifier, losing in a playoff for the final spot (so the sponsor gave him one of their exemptions) Jordan played in the Nelson at age 16, Scottie was 17 when he played (and finished T22) in the Nelson. Can the kid really play - early results say yes - he is currently -4 after 6 holes (really hoping I don't jinx this kid) https://www.pgatour.com/korn-ferry-tour/article/news/latest/2024/04/17/miles-russell-15-years-old-makes-debut-lecom-suncoast-classic-lakewood-national-golf-club-junior-players-champion?webview=1 Disclosure - I was looking a the KF leaderboard because a local guy is now playing there after 10+ years on the big tour, but the headline on the KF Tour page caught my attention. Oh yeah and the local guy isn't playing this week (or many weeks at all; 3 events this year, 3 missed cuts)
  3. Oh no, does he need glasses? Is there a problem with his vision? Sure he have pink eye? People want to know.... People on this site
  4. Or ran into a tree, while escaping his wife and hitting a tree or hydrant
  5. Full disclosure time - likely no more downside to due to the Reverse-Wally market impact Sold 10% of my SPY today, and bought some SPY puts with expiration from 5/1/24 - 1/17/25 and strikes from $500 down to $450 Act accordingly past performance is not a guarantee of future results....blah, blah, blah
  6. FAA issues groundstop for Alaska Airlines https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/us-faa-issues-ground-stop-advisory-alaska-airlines-2024-04-17/
  7. There are not that many active tour players with 2 or more majors (I am not including Phil) but here is what I see: Brooks - 5 (2 US Opens, 3 PGA ) Rory - 4 (1 US Open, 1 British, 2 PGA) Jordan - 3 (1 Masters, 1 US Open, 1 British) a few with 2 Bubba, ZJ, DJ, Morikawa, JT, Rahm, Scottie so 10 guys still with a chance (not sure Bubba and ZJ meet that criteria) - and Scottie is, right now, head and shoulders ahead of every one of them. Sure on a given week, someone could put it together, but it is tough to predict that lightning striking; Scottie is winning with his B+ game (tour events, if not majors), so really IMO the only challenge he will have to face is being a parent and how many kids he and Meredith will have. Well that and whomever the next hot shot kid is - right now that torch is Akshay and Aberg, and after that it is someone in their teen. TLDR - Scottie could have a 3-5 year period of dominance baring injury, parenting or global thermonuclear war
  8. help me out a) Fix Or Repair Daily b) Fucking Old Rebuilt Dodge c) Fails On Rainy Days d) Found On Road Deserted e) Factory Ordered Road Disaster (I can keep going if you want me to)
  9. SPY & BRK.B are both down about $20 since the early Aprils highs (4% and 5% roughly) - so I ask the Surly gurus, is this a buying opportunity, or a harbinger for where we are headed this summer into (or past) the election? Obviously asking for a friend who wants to know if it is time to buy some calls, or some puts? a little bit of both is not a credible response and you will be ignored or laughed at)
  10. Was that your only ticket? Or only the most disappointing?
  11. Good for Ted, seems like a good dude (who survived the rollercoaster ride with Bubba) -
  12. bets of the day - Neal Shipley (amateur) or Tiger (they just teed off) Matt Fitz/patrick Reed Rory v LIV guy (Niemann) I'd pick Neal, Matt & Rory
  13. 2023 - 2 US Open 2022 - 2 Masters, 3 Open Championship 2022/2023 7 top tens in Majors, and MC in 2023 Masters Does Rory or Jordan get the career grand slam? (Rory needs a green jacket, Jordan needs a PGA) Other players who are 1 major short of a career slam (and still playing) Phil - US Open Brooks has 5 majors but lacks a green jacket, and an Open Championship
  14. Watching replay of a few of Jason Day today - and he seems to be wearing baggy pants (I'd guess 2 sizes too big) and a quarter sleeve garbage bag windbreaker. I am sure this is the review his outfitter was hoping for
  15. yeah - I am going to pass on clicking on that link
  16. Yeah - it would have been great/funny to see a Tiger/Phil pairing (maybe tomorrow), Brooks/Patrick Slowly, Rory/Phil but the real thing everyone is waiting for is to see what Jason Day is wearing today.
  17. 12 and 16 are interestingly tucked into corners
  18. Brat - you should really get him some shoes for the tux
  19. Rory looking like he might not play AGNC this weekend, then again couple more people slip and the cut could reach +5 (actually likely with the wind blowing)
  20. It would be interesting to see the course in the fall, or even a few weeks before the Masters; because the aim at getting into prime shape for this week. Pretty sure the azaleas are kept in greenhouses, conditioned to bloom this week and transplanted to the course for the players/guests/TV audience enjoyment. No telling what else is done to make for prime time viewing. Not that I would ever get an invite during one of those times; hell I can't get an invite to be part of the general public. Now that I think about it, they treat me like I am Greg Norman & what did I ever do to them?
