  1. It’s great, right? Let me put it this way- I also knew a prominent member of the Pay Pal mafia growing up and I think the stuntman is more of a success story.
  2. As a Mavs fan, I would trade your future for ours and throw in Davis and a protected ‘29
  3. Back in Dallas a good friend of mine in high school always said he was going to be a Hollywood stuntman. Had zero other ideas and no interest at all in going to a four year college. In school he was always doing pratfalls down stairs and whatnot. He was a bit of a goofball, but had a great attitude and when people laughed at him, he would laugh along. After high school he took a few classes at Richland college to make his mom happy but went to work at Medieval Times as a squire- literally shoveling horse shit part time. In a couple of years, he worked his way up to knight, and about a year after that he got a job at Six Flags in the Batman stunt show. He did so well there that they sent him to an overseas park in the offseason, and after moving through that system for a while he goes out to California. Fast forward twenty five years to the present and he’s in his third decade as one of the top stuntmen in Hollywood. He’s the only guy I know who became exactly who they always wanted to be. Medieval Times, man.
  4. What are the chances that the chant will get going at the Rangers home opener?
  5. I’m wondering how the “No CR!” boys are handling Bloomberg and CNBC right now.
  6. They were doing the Fire Nico chant at the FC Dallas game last night and today at Medieval Times https://x.com/auroraf34508886/status/1898617232692793395?s=46&t=WQWp8jCL9d3WDAPBWICDFQ
  7. At least he got to be Secretary of State. Anastasis does it on a declining internet sports forum for free.
  8. I kinda like San Angelo! But I also really like Amarillo so …
  9. Sigh - because you can't just leave them in the rickhouse. The vast majority of Bourbon barrels peak between 6-8 years and get worse from there. From that point the conditions have to be managed in with ever increasing cost and attention. Of course, people are dumb and have been conditioned to think that older=better and will ignore what their nose is telling them, but only too a point, and if cheap bourbon floods the market people might wake up to the reality of things.
  10. SEE DEEZ NUTZ!!!
  11. That’s a very interesting graph, since there are 75m people each in the boomer and millennial cohorts and 69m in GenZ, but only 66m GenXers.
  12. And elevating burger/fries.
  13. APD had them working in shifts!
  14. Can you imagine how bad it is to work for the Mavs doing social media, ticket sales, sponsorship or any part of the operation right now? They probably had a town hall a couple weeks ago and told people things would start getting better and instead they have gotten that much worse. The anger is more intense, everyone gives you shit, and you aren’t making any money. It’s a death spiral type situation.
  15. That’s fine, but I’m not arguing with the analyses or the math, which say correlation varies with specifics and rises and falls based on a number of factors, and at the very least those factors are related, which is problematic w/r/t diversification. And they also say you can have protection of principal, or present value, but not both. But I do agree that the conventional wisdom is that bonds are diversifying to equities and a lot of people do take it for granted.
  16. I’m not sure that’s true. It’s only diversifying to the extent that the return isn’t correlated to the other assets in the portfolio, which depends on the specifics.
  17. I should have put my question more precisely. I understand the theory and practice involved. I was really asking what specific functions they are serving in his portfolio, and how well is that working out. The reason I ask is that I think the bolded above is a truism of the investment industry that is only sort of true, and depends a lot on the specifics of implementation. You said it yourself/ you didn’t invest until interest rates spiked in 2022, which is when correlation peaked. Im not bashing bonds. I’m questioning their value as a portfolio diversifier.
  18. They don’t even have a code of ethics. The Buda Planning and Zoning Commission is more bound to conduct itself subject to the law than the Supreme Court.
