  1. How long do we think it is until Slorch actually rents an EV with knowing it until he pulls up the pump?
  2. I will answer your question with a question - what was your goal/target when you bought it? If you have exceeded that target, then take some off the table. I can tell you from more experience than it should have taken, that it is worse to watch gains erode due to greed/fear/stupidity and then hold hoping for the comeback. At least take enough off the table to cover the cost of buying into it; nothing wrong with holding longterm, but at some point you will need to diversify which is a soft way of saying selling your winners
  3. TL Dr Can someone summarize all that in a couple of sentences, or tell me not to bother
  4. It worked!!!!! AMY is up over 20%, (which sounds great, until you realize that is just about 2 cents and it is still under $0.15). Now if it will only go up a meer 4X from here to get to almost even; can't believe they are handing out more options at these prices. I did average down in December, so I am only down 80% at this time, and "only" down 8.5% on the recent purchase
  5. Flipping channels in the car for a couple of hours last night and during my 10-15 minutes that I was listening to Fox News channel - host or guest (not sure how) makes a general comment that Hunter Biden should testify before the committee in an open session. He was saying what is Hunter trying to hide by testifying in a closed sesson - to which I started to laugh because Hunter was asking to testify in on open session, he actually show up, unannounced, for an open session and there were threats to arrest him on contempt for not coming to a closed session. My question is who, on the committee, is so afraid to take Hunter Bidens testimony in an open session and/or what question is he being asked that members don't want the public to hear.
  6. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39624631/cowboys-owner-jerry-jones-take-paternity-test-judge-rules I came here just to rep that report with the FAFO rep - but nobody else has posted it, Y'all are falling down
  7. Yeah - JJ must not go there often, lots of crazy around that group
  8. Wait - I just saw an article that the DOD still has $4 billion in Presidential drawdown authority, but it means sending US stockpiles from reserves and they want assurances it will be reimbursed/replentished. So there is gamesmanship in this for all. I wish our politicians could get away from having to pass Omnibus funding and legislation, and become adults and pass individual items (or at least groups of related items) OMG - I must be a fool to think that could ever happen.
  9. LOL - now do confession, I mean God already knows, right?
  10. As a matter of fact no - I swore off that shithole after Egon started posting his crazy views, did the whole pay to be blue checkmarked, hate speach bullshit. So are you going to answer, for those of us not mindlessly watching the Xwittershpere
  11. There is an easy solution - veto the idea with your wallet. It isn't like there aren't other burger or sammy choices nearby. Unless you are hooked on frostie's there is nothing really unique that they are doing. If you really think it is going to fail, and they lose sales, profits and market share - the look to short the stock (it is publicly traded) or just load up on some puts. The stock is at $18, you can buy Jan 2025 $17 strike puts for about $1, or $13 strike will cost you about $0.25. But then you'd have to post in the stonk thread
  12. Are they not the same people who pay $1,000 for a new iPhone, but it is $33/month for 36 months. So do they sell the VR set for $75/month for 48 months ? It certainly isn't me - I bought a new Moto 5 in December for under $200, it is good enough for me. But there is no cool factor in it.
  13. So I started this thread about 6 years ago, and the media hype has finally caught up with the event. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamiecartereurope/2024/02/24/precisely-319-years-from-today-totality-will-strike-the-midwest-why-one-town-is-preparing-now/?sh=59d2cb3d74eb I was this article, and I will let someone else start the thread for the next total solar eclipse in Lebanon, Indiana are putting together a time capsule for the February 25, 2343 . I will let someone else start that thread, as I maybe sidelined for that one, or bored with them from seeing them around the country.
  14. I feel like someone was bumped up from the kids table to the adult table, and they can't figure out the conversation sitting there. And even worse, this dolt is now 2nd in line behind only Kamala Harris to sit at the head of the adult table. And here we all are waiting to see if they can fund the government by the end of week, and mabye they can slip some cash to Ukraine to prop them up for a bit longer. Methinks that Russia and also China are rethinking the strategy if the USA decides halt funding opposition to tyranny.
  15. Robert the idiot making crazy stupid comments again - don't invest in 401k, invest in metals & crypto instead https://www.gobankingrates.com/investing/strategy/robert-kiyosaki-predicts-401k-plans-iras-will-be-toast/ which is a follow up to this gem (riddled with inaccuracies) https://www.gobankingrates.com/retirement/401k/rich-dad-robert-kiyosaki-reveals-why-the-401k-is-a-horrible-retirement-plan/
  16. You miss the point that Aggy is the best school BECAUSE they didnt hold him accountable. I can't believe I don't have this guy picked for my death pool.
  17. I am "only" down $30 per option on my BRK.b since yesterday's open, though I am still up I am kicking myself for not having a open order to sell options as they go up, as some of them would have triggered at the open yesterday - at least 1/2 of what I have open. So each option is now worth $3.000 less than at yesterdays open. Oh well I'm sure it will rebound, at some point - and I will get the opportunity to buy on the dip when Warren kicks off or steps down, but then again he may outlive me.
  18. Kinda makes me wonder how many BRK billionaires there are
  19. BRK.B market action today premarket Me at the close of market
  20. BRK.b acting like a stonk this morning - jumping in the pre-market over 5% ($20) it opened up about $12 and is not trading at a small loss for the day. And all on "news" that broke on Saturday, when earnings was released. Who know an almost $1 trillion insurance/industrial/stock investment conglomerate would swing like this on the ramblings of a 93 year old icon and a couple of analysts reports. Stocks (and markets) can become stonks - for really undetermined reasons. America - what a country!
  21. Gotta love Uncle Warren saying that, at this point, BRK is basically to big to beat the market by any significant amount. And that it will be difficult to make acquisitions or investments that are large enough to contribute to BRK performance. And he does this as BRK.b is up 17% YTD, while the S&P 500 is up about 7%; one year returns are 37.2 vs 28.2; NASDAW is up 6.6% and 40.7 (but BRK is really and industrial not a tech stock) I am waiting to see if the earnings report, or Warrens comments cool the trend of the stock performance. Disclosure - I am holding June 24 and January 25 expiry $400 calls that are up over 4x and almost 2x since purchase (mid November)
  22. 4,3,2,1 (the further away they are from the camera the better they look - providing I've been drinking at the game C'mon, it isn't like they are OU cheerleaders & I will save you the paid of posting the photo ..... you know the one I'm talking about
  23. thanks for the update - but this belongs in the stonk thread, or maybe gambol
