    I passed on Dell @ $7 or $8 when it IPO’d thirty some years ago.

    If we are doing this - I think it was around $12 when Apple introduced the iPod, I decided to wait and didn't pick any up at that point. To be honest I would have averaged out of 1/2 of it at $40, and some of the rest around $100; but still my bank account cries when I think about that 
    (Googled this.....and I cried)

    The first iPod was released in November 2001 and could hold up to 1,000 songs with a 10-hour battery life, all for the price of $399. On the first day of trading after the product's release date, the stock bounced around to eventually finish an unimpressive 5 cents up at $9.38. However, a week later on Nov. 19, Apple would close at $10.00 per share, a 6.6% increase.

  2. So Mrs Fairway & I each had Dr. appointments on June 4, and we both went with each other to those appointments. Mrs. Fairway gets a call today from a contact tracer, they suggest getting tested due to contact at a Dr. appointment; it has to be her Dr office as they contacted her. So she is debating going for the test, I tested negative as of last Saturday, so to some degree I should be good - should I make her sleep in the garage, or put the tent up in the back yard for her until she gets test results???

    S/P sub 2800 is all but guaranteed...but when?  Have some bullets left.  Still 25% cash and I'm not putting shit in until we drop well below this.  Oil still up from where I got in...if it gets back to where it was we'll be at right about S/P 2700/2800 and I'll fire more bullets.  But that dead cat has some serious bounce to it...

    Looks like somebody forgot a couple of things:

    a) it is already priced in
    ii) Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    (actually looking at buying some SPY puts, as the Fed isn't going to do anything today, IMO, and the unease will grow if/when people realize the economy isn't jumping back to capacity - and that jump has already been priced in) - glad I sold most of my BA puts on Mon/Tues...it's amazing to see BA go from low 110's to 234 back down to about 175 all in a month, hell the drop is in about 4 days.

    Cancelled my $1.10 FTK buy order.  Feels like it wants to go down to at least $0.95 if not lower.

    I don't think we're going back to the March lows, but now probably isn't the best time to try and be a hero.  Of course this bullshit selloff will probably be done by 10:00 AM because reasons.

    Because LOL & jinxing the drop (we are not anywhere even close - S&P premarket is down about 85 or under 3%)

    in your spare time go dig up memorial park,  consensus believes Byron Preiss buried a large ruby there somewhere as part of his treasure hiding scheme.

     I dug up the Memorial Park golf course numerous times; never found a damned thing....not even my swing

  6. NOW - because:
    a) changes haven't happened since MLK, so the clock has been ticking
    b) COVID - people are tired of being confined
    c) this one is different - video 8+ minutes, casual manor of murderer and nonchalance of other onlooking officers
    d) escalation of protests due to threat of dominant response by POTUS (seems like telling them to "stay in your lane")
    e) ever expanding reach of social media

    Well?! What do you expect from us?! Who else has shown us the goods? 

    I'm sure Whitman could repost that photo, or tweet it - be he's gone AWOL. 
    The funniest part of her posting was the introductory comment - it's not like I'm going to run for public office (attention whores are gonna attention whore)

    You're off a decimal point, it's going to $0.40 and we're all going to be getting it in the ass.

    NKLA is Tesla’s first name. Acting very much like it. Anyone want an electric pick up truck?

    well fucking fuck me - my son asked me about Nikola in December/January, he'd heard about them and was pretty excited. But they were privately held and I forgot about them; and they go public in March by merging with a public shell company to fast track getting listed....could have bought them when it was still a #stonk for $12.....not even a swing and a miss on my part, just standing there with a bat on my shoulder and not even realizing the ball was in play

    COVID test came back negative - so they can drive the Mars rover up my keester tomorrow morning and do some sampling.
    Good times - see y'all on the other side.

    LOL - I wish I was 50% invested in the market, unfortunately I've short the market via puts. The only thing saving me is a long SPY position that my puts started out as a hedge against, and a lucky guess on buying BA $125 calls that are printing money (and now I'm sure I've jinxed that one too)
     

    Sold about 35% of my BA calls, covered the entire cost + profit of almost 90%, I hate to not let it ride...but nobody goes broke covering costs and taking something off the table. 
    Markets can't go up forever, BA is on a tear, time to make sensible choices ...... who am I kidding, the Fed gonna Fed and brrrrrr machine gonna brrrrr
    I'm thinking about buy some SPY $375 calls...or why not $400 - markets only go up.
    Wheeeeeee!!!

    Is profitability influenced by the staff you hire and how you ...

    I took all my profits today. I'm sure I'll wince come this time in July about what could have been, but make hay while the sun shines. Losses hurt more than unrealized gains.

    let me ask a technical question......what are profits????
