  1. Is it that simple if the guy said he was coming back with a gun or with others? Because that shit happens too.
  2. This is a slippery slope and not like the other 2 horrible acts we have threads on currently. This isnt ringing a doorbell by mistake or pulling into a wrong driveway. The man robbed a gun store. What was said beforehand to the employee? What did the man have with him when he did it? The title of the article and the article itself was written with an agenda. Frankly that article sucked.
  3. I have a place in the Hamptoms with not 1 but 2 solariums.
  4. Got right up to the edge of quitting. For the last week I had made up my mind I was done. Even set a quit date. This Tuesday. Used up all my pto. Then I did our taxes today and realized my wife doesn't make shit and stepped back. I think this is going to end up like quitting smoking or drinking where it takes a few tries. Now I'm back to early next year as my date. Wife was relieved when I told her. She was getting nervous she'd have to start spending her own money on things.
  5. Burger King charged me 50 cents for a cup of water the other day. For that small ass flimsy see through plastic cup. This will all come crashing down soon. It is not sustainable.
  6. With my risk tolerance, yes it does.
  7. Anyone care to give the pros and cons of JEPI. I currently have about 5% of my investment portfolio in this and have had it for a few months. Its a covered call ETF and set to be the top actively managed ETF due to the influx of people jumping on this. My rough understanding is this etf invests primarily in top 100 companies across all sectors. " Every stock in the fund is capped at 2%, while sectors are capped at 17.5%." Correct me if Im wrong but this would be a good play for a downward market, a side ways market, and a slow moving upward market. The only downside is gains are capped if the stocks rise too quickly. It pays a monthly dividend and the yield is about 11% due to option premiums and individual stock dividends. That is my rudimentary understanding of it. The reason I ask is I am wanting to significantly increase my exposure as high as 25% or even more but want to do some more due diligence first. Here is one of the articles that I quoted above. Someone convince me this is the wrong play and there is a serious risk to this type of investment. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/jp-morgan-jepi-soars-set-223000668.html
  8. This means nothing. It's all about January 6th.
  9. Sponsors not liking that 4th foul on timme. This gonna be a blow out now.
  10. I'm seeing texas -3.5 to -4.5 for Sunday.
  11. Arrest warrant for Miller already on its way in Tuscaloosa.
  12. Drake pissing this game away. They can't beat the press.
  13. I have no idea what is happening or how the market will react. Bad news is good news until it isn't good news anymore is where I'm at currently. I actually bought a smalish position in jepi recently. Covered call etf. Works well in sideways markets and is a nice hedge in down markets from what I can gather provided you hold it long enough. Not great in bull markets. Money market is now my dominant position in my personal vanguard account and about 70% of my 401k is still in the stock market. Large cap fund I believe.
  14. For a thread that had absolutely 0 reason to be started these first 8 posts fucking deliver. Well done surly.
  15. Do it but use another agency to stage your house and when your realtor asks why, tell them it's for putting you in an awkward position. Then fire her and report back to us.
  16. I'm not a conspiracy theorist but if the government was ever wanting to cook the numbers or shop at Aldi this time for their basket of goods, now is the time. I'll say it comes in light at 5.9.
  17. So looking at the mess in terms of stocks, the fed rate and inflation, is the outcome now going to be a rising stock market, 3-4% inflation and a fed who chooses to lower the rate to avoid a banking crisis?
  18. I like our region. Its winnable.
  19. How many sneezes in a row does it take before you know its allergies and not just a random sneeze? Where you know you are eventually getting a claritin. You all should think about this next time you sneeze. For me, anything more than 2 in a row. Its strange but sneezing twice in succession doesnt water my eyes or make me think allergies, but if I hit 3 in a row, I can notice a real difference.
  20. When I think of perfect songs, I think of songs that wrote themselves. That would have eventually been written because they had to be. They arent necessarily my personal favorites but they are songs that will always stay with you, that are unique and flow perfectly from beginning to end.
