I bought an air cleaner a few days ago. The band is Winix, which I figured was some kind of crappy knockoff but apparently its an Asian company that's fairly well regarded.
The thing (6300) has really good reviews and I must say - after a few days downstairs its really made a difference. The...
I punted on TAL and EDU this morning. All in all I lost about $600.
I don't even understand what's going on there. China wants to make all of those companies not-for-profit?
I don't think its purely a zoning issue. Just read this:
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/14/america-is-short-more-than-5-million-homes-study-says.html
I also think speculation has a lot to do with it. I live in a medium sized Midwestern town. Living here is suppose to be cheap.
Normal starter...
I was really taken aback by the absence of "mid-range homes" for sale. They've all been bought on spec it seems.
I mean - not ONE fracking house in that range available? That's unbelievable.
Why isn't our incompetent government doing something about this? Wait - I answered my own question.
I was bored so I browsed Trulia/Zillow for the first time in about 3-4 years. It kind of shocked me into reality.
10 years ago (when I initially started looking) there were dozens of nice homes available in the 120k-150k range. Too many for me to see all of them. A really nice home started at...
Casio - I bought a 90's Casio PDA off of eBay for like $5 but it was way to complicated out figure out without documentation so I emailed Casio customer service about how to proceed. I was hoping for a website.
Within a WEEK they sent me a manila envelope with the actual instruction manual...
You know how to write but its a bit dense.
I want to know more about the castle. Write 20,30,40 pages detailing every aspect of it and then work outwards. Give your characters a world to live in.
IMO a narrative can't just jam characters together haphazardly and expect them to grow. The...
I'm 99% sure that the analyst on the NFL network just said
"If Tom Brady knows what defense you're in he's going to find a way to matriculate the ball down the field"
Hookers, but probably not a lot of blow. I'm too paranoid about starting that at my age.
Lots of golf. Lots of gambling. Lots of senior sports leagues. Maybe lots of weed?
The first thing I'm doing after retirement is taking the Ghan. Within a week or two if I can.
MSN Money/markets has a new feature that is kind of cool.
If you research a stock you might get a banner showing how its doing with bigger funds. holdings/+/-
I think it's good info.
Ok, I sold a BYSI put. $20 for apr of next year. Sold for around $540. We can root for it together.
I got in on that whacky BBIG thing. lol I'm not even sure what that is but I sold 20 $3 puts yesterday and today its zooming.
So this is online gaming? They can't really check on single player games, can they?
A kid could play Baldur's Gate or Morrowind or Oblivion for thousands of hours without big brother even knowing.
Maybe it'll revitalize classic single player gaming.
Man, just the thought that my entire SAVA position could have been destroyed makes me both shiver and cringe. As of now it costs 4.20 to buy back a Jan $20 put.
Some aspects of the market seem so simple but take a lifetime to learn. The options rule that states "the less time your contracts...
I use a STR - DE715 in my living room to this day.
It was the first expensive piece of stereo equipment I ever bought. Iv never felt compelled to upgrade it.
My playstation models were all pretty darn good.
1 lasted for like 7 years, 2 lasted like 5 before I gave to away (as far as I know it still works) and I still have my BC 80 GB 3 and launch 4.
I need my 3 to last long enough for me to actually get into TLOU and play through the damn thing to...
Yeah, I think you're right. It was ME.
Whichever version it was - it was garbage. The most unstable piece of shit ever. If you didn't back up whatever you were doing hourly you were likely to lose it.
BSoD was daily not weekly.
The thing I remember best about XP coming out is that I had just bought my first serious desktop - a Dell 8100 with a Geforce 2 and a nice 17" trinitron monitor.Still one of my favorite monitors I've ever owned.
The thing was supposed to come with a free upgrade to XP (it had Vista...
I have quite a few "how much lower can they possibly go?" bets right now.
Browsing my accounts:
BSQR
XELA
ATER
TAL
SENS
But if you subtract the option premiums the total risk is probably less than $10,000 total so not a huge deal.
lol I'm betting my SAVA money. Letting it ride.
What do you think about TAL, Felix?
Its so low I decide to sell some puts at $4 for a decent price. Am I going to lose my money? From what I've read it seems like they still have some options to create profit.
That's a great way to get started on options. I always ask myself "at what price level would I sell this stock?" and go as far out as I need to to get a decent premium at that price.
The furthest out I've ever gone is like 15 months, and only because the calls were going for a ridiculous...
Roger Waters - The Ballad of Bill Hubbard
Instrumental including recollections of a war veteran about having to leave behind a fellow soldier on the battlefield to die alone in terrible pain.
It's two completely different bands. Van Halen was built 100% around Eddie's guitar playing and Van Hagar was based on Hagar's pop songs.
I liked them both but I have to agree that Halen > Hager.
I tried undercutting a stock one last time on Friday. I haven't had much success with that move and if this doesn't work out I'm never trying it again.
I bought 1000 shares of ONTX at 4.96 and immediately sold 5 calls for Jan for $1800. I've been a real derp in the past on undercutting but...
My BiL told me about a retail guy who was convinced to put his LIFE SAVINGS (about $50,000) into ANVS at over $100 a share. HIs only hope is that ANVS can somehow turn it around.
Its not funny, but its's funny. Putting your life savings into one risky stock?
As for XELA - according to the...
Naw, each contacts is 100 shares.
I'm putting up $5000 for 20 contracts and got around $2200 in premiums. So the most I can lose is $2800.
But there's no indication XELA is in any kind of trouble. Thats what makes the premium amount strange. XELA actually seems to have good ratings.
Since I think I've seen XELA mentioned here before:
Why are March 2.50 puts so high? I checked them out on a whim and they're like 1.10. That's crazy high for a stock sitting at around 2.70 night now. I did a little checking and I couldn't find anything grossly negative so I sold 10 contracts...
Remember, though - she didn't initially want to eat a piece of old royal cake. She was just looking for a snack.
Too bad Seinfeld didn't include the scene where she blows a hole in her colon.
