Count me in with the “old heads” (as the kids now say). I still like someone to scan and bag my groceries. I even prefer to throw a high school kid a few bucks for loading them in my vehicle. We are steadily losing good old human interaction for the sake of “convenience.” I can’t help but wonder if that isn’t contributing to our society’s decline...

I would suggest to him that good investing is based on fundamentals. This price movement has nothing to do with fundamentals. I had a client who, some time ago, wanted to buy Tilray, a marijuana stock at about $150 per share. I persuaded him not to. 2 weeks later it was $250 and he made me aware of his unhappiness with my advice. Today, the stock trades at about $18 after having been to about $6. If he wont sell , maybe you can compromise. Tell him to sell enough to get his original investment out and he can keep the rest. That way, he is playing on "house money"

Wth

Final Tigers take it 64-46

I believe so. Just to hit on your point of human interaction, when I go out in public, I make it a point to say hi to people. Of course not everyone, but people you run into at the door going in somewhere or seated at a table near you in a restaurant. I think this was lost on Covid and people don’t realize they missed this interaction. Back to the topic, it seems when I do use the self checkout, I always have a problem scanning a bar code due to plastic interference, wrinkles, or just plain faded. There will always be a job for a helper when it comes to me. Lol

My wife uses the Sam’s app and a woman in Sam’s checkout line saw her go around the registers to get in the line leaving the store. She hollered to my wife, “ Ma’am, ma’am, you have to pay for that stuff.” My wife told her she already paid for it with the app. She ended up showing her, and several other women who had been privy to the conversation, that all you do is download the app and scan your products yourself. Of course you have to link the app to your bank account. They were all downloading as my wife left the store. I understand where Chester is coming from. I didn’t like debit cards when they first came out, now I use it for everything. Have a separate account for online purchases. Had to change cards a couple times due to being hacked and attempts made for purchases in California and Houston. They were denied and the perps got nothing. Chester is like me and lots of other people who like things the way they are. Things that worked for years are now done a different way. How we grew up was so different than today. I feel sorry for those of you who didn’t grow up watching cartoons in color on Saturday mornings ( if you had a color TV.) lol Progress will always affect everything we do. Always remember, the opposite of PROgress is CONgress.

Miller finished with 31. Nearly half the points scored.

They are a much better team now than they were earlier in the season. If any team could beat Yates in that region, it would be HJ. If I were betting, my money would still be on JY to win the region. But HJ is my next pick.

Silsbee scored 19 in the fourth, bc scored 4. Next!!!

To quote a meme I saw today, Biden has more screws loose than a hardware store in an earthquake. 😂😂😂🤣😂😂😂

Why don’t they just make a vaccine from Keith Richards DNA so you can do what the hell you want and live forever.

I'm with you old man. For every winner in the market, there's and equal and opposite loser. But the house always wins.

Duke Lawnizcak became #2 scorer in Coldspring school history!!

October was the worst month for me. I have recouped my losses up until this week. I am staying, just not real familiar with hedge funds so I asked.

This really depends on how much he invested total, relative to rest of his account or income. If only a few hundred or thousand, and he understands that he can be left “holding the bag” then let him make that call. Now if he put his entire savings into the stock, he might need an intervention. i made a nice profit off a similar trade last week as well. I exited half the position on the first big jump, another 25% later that day and the rest as it kept going up. I am completely out now, as I believe there’s more downside than upside at this point. I’m not in the GME trade but I’d personally love to see the short sellers get destroyed. Can PM me if you want

No way for me to answer that. If "everyone" is "waiting" for the "right time" next week, what's to stop a few of them thinking " I'd rather be safe than sorry" and decided to sell a little early? A few early sales can put downward pressure on stock price and momentum can quickly build in the other direction. I learned about 35 years ago that it is virtually impossible to time the market. However, I do know that there is nothing wrong with taking a profit. Again, another alternative would be to sell part now and part later which is sort of a hedge for it moving up or down more quickly than one expects.

From the article: "Amazon.com Inc. is asking the National Labor Relations Board to consider having workers vote in person -- rather than by mail -- on a proposal to form a union at an Alabama warehouse." Why? The article continued: "The world’s largest online retailer said that a mail election raised the risk of fraud..." [Hidden Content]

Imagine that

How’s that working out now?

I think you’re probably right. I think they will finish as co champs and have a seeding game. I don’t think either team will want to flip but I may be wrong

Hagar, the big issue is that certain trading sites actually quit trading certain stocks (not all stocks) to try and manually correct and control the bubble...which is unethical and illegal.

it’s hard to find American made products in Walmart People only catch up via technology now a days. Very sad.

Seeing how the brackets are, if NW wins district, I don't see anyone in their path till regional finals.

Try this link. It’s as close to a layperson’s explanation as you will find. [Hidden Content]

Good possibility. I have always been an advocate for the higher seed hosting 1st round games.

If there are no UFO’s. If Roswell never happened. I’ve always wondered why any released information is primarily line after line of magic marker blackouts? Take the Roswell case sequence of events, based on reporting. Initial response from Strategic Air Command’s 509th Bombardment Group, RAAF Captures a Flying Saucer on Ranch in Roswell Region. That press released was done by Base PIO (Public Info Officer) after a Lt. Col, a Major, and a Master Sergeant, reported what they had found at the Ranch. The 509th was the only Unit provided with atomic bombs at the time. Would that Unit have 3 men, with that much experience, commanding units and men, that was so important if they didn’t know the difference in a weather ballon and a UFO? Next day Major Marcel was in Dallas with Gen Ramsey doing a photo op with a weather ballon - and the coverup begins. Decades later, they admit claim it was a “special ballon” from project Mogul. Despite these less than convincing stories, Senator Goldwater was not allowed to see the Top Secret Reports, which I’ve heard are now missing. How convenient. I’m not convinced there were alien bodies, but I wouldn’t doubt it. Craft could have been controlled remotely, but I am convinced there was a craft. Amazingly, fiber optics were developed not long afterwards. In 1960 we built the SR-71 Blackbird. A plane so advanced, it still holds the speed records 60 years later. That’s so phenomenal, it almost assuredly was done via reverse engineering of superior technology. But reader, if you believe everything our Govt tells you, sleep secure in the knowledge that there was no crashed UFO, and that we miraculously came up with all the astounding advances following that non-crash. Fiber optics, transistors, fastest plane for 60 years, stealth technology, Moon landing in 69. And those are just a few off the top of my head.

Jesus meets a Republican, a libertarian and a democrat. He notices the Republican is blind so he lays his hands on him. The Republican exclaims “thank you Lord! I can finally see.” Jesus notices the libertarian is crippled so he walks over and lays his hands on him. The Libertarian stands up and cries out, “Thank you dear Jesus! I can now walk!” Finally Jesus walks over to the Democrat. The Democrat throws his hands out and screams, “Don’t you dare touch me! I’m on disability!”

Not sure what Jasper's looks like, but I'm guessing it'll be the tough one that they should have played last year with the sites reversed. We're gonna be pretty young, so my expectations aren't as high as they usually are.

Until Faircloth realizes you have to have 2way starters it’s not going to change here at PNG.

I don’t think big Ned will be a problem. These sophomores who will be juniors next year will be filling all the gaps. They have been beating the nederlanders since 7th grade. As freshman it was very ugly defeat.

As the Final Arbiter for this wager, I have to admit that I have no idea what y'all are betting on.

What - how dare he be questioned! You see - he was social distancing.....I mean he had been vaccinated....err, well there was small print on his executive order. I know - I know, it was Trump’s fault and the Republicans. When we will peasants understand the rules don’t apply to certain people.

Great investment. Can we buy in on mushrooms and heroin yet?
