  1. I just want to throw this out there, as we sift our way through a shitty couple of days or maybe more, that unless you are looking to actively trade penny stock that this is longer term investing and that there will be down days. Sure it looked easy in January and the first week of February but that isn't how the market works long term.
    IMO - what @RCRanger03 has shown and done , is that with some DD you can pick some penny companies with potential and ride them up. But to do that you have to do a couple of thing:
    - recognized that not all of them will be winners, you will lose money on some of them
    - take a portion of your gains off the table as they rise (at least get most of your initial investment back when you can), this is what leads to "free shares"
    - also know that you won't be right, but don't play the market by looking in your rearview mirror. We've all sold things that we wished we'd held, and held things we wished we'd sold.
    - finally don't panic sell into a market downturn, markets go up and down (but your stock will only go up), but don't confuse market movement for company news/movement (as shown with FPVD

    RCR - would love to get your 2¢ on this?

    So it appears FPVD is becoming a subsidiary of Red Diamond, maybe not wholly owned but 99.988% of the shares are controlled in the debt swap

     

    Follow up - just read RCR's comment. so the 7 trillion shares are, apparently, subordinated to the SRAX shares. Still, looks like there is control outside of FPVD mgmt/public shareholders. This type of thing happens in penny-stonks, but still 7 trillion shares seems like it is a lot .... a fucking lot of shares. 
    I'm gonna guess there will be a reverse split on this - say in the range of 1:1,000,000 or more

    He’s creeping back in the world rankings. #62 

    Only a few more spots to qualify for the WGC "Rich Getting Richer" events - top 64 at WGC Austin (as of March 15), top 50 in the other WGC events

    Schwab’s interface is terrible. I trade OTC there but use TDA’s basic app for level 2 information and my watchlist, TOS for charts.

    Agree - Schwab's system sucks at showing information on quotes below $0.01, you can trade them but not have easy access to history or quotes.

  5. I'm looking to buy into some of this momentum, unfortunately I'm all stonked up and will need to sell/free up some funds to make additional stonk picks

    @Hefeweizen GTC orders are your friend, if you cannot watch the markets on a regular basis. Set it and forget it, except when you check in and can revise your orders.

    Not many UH/ NCState mentions.   Were you fuckers alive?  If you rooted for UH or Phi Slamma Jamma and Guy Lewis... it was just devastating.

    That one should have been on my list - I moved to Houston in 1981, and if you tried  you could get tickets to Hofheinz and go see Phi-Slamma-Jamma, what a show. After the Cougars ran Louisville off the court in the Final Four game, everyone thought the title was coming back to Houston.
    NC State winning with 54 points just shows how sports can give you crazy outcomes, hell UofH scored 58 in the second half against Louisville.

    Along with the '86 Astros loss to the Mets, the Oilers losing to the Bills, Thomas Hearns 1981 loss to Sugar Ray Leonard and too many MSU Spartan football games to list

    I am, personally, trying to ruin the greeting card industry.

    For birthdays, valentines, mothers day, etc. instead of buying cards I just to a couple of stores, find a few cards that I like, whip out my phone and take pictures of the cards.
    Then when said day arrives, I text the photos to my family; I also send my adult kids pictures of birthday cakes, and tWife gets pictures  of roses, candies and other things that cost too much and either spoil or we don't really need.

    FWIW - I am waiting to be kicked out of a store for my shenanigans, but fuck $4-$6-$9 for some stupid card.

    Mrs Fairway broke the rules today and gave me an actual valentines card; one of those 3-D cards that pop up when you open them. That fucking thing must almost $10, but it was nice.  But y'all will be proud of me, I said thanks and then later texted her another photo of a card - one I saw last week when I was in the store.

    I have a regular IRA that I rolled over from the work retirement fund when I left Texas.  It was only 11k at the time so I dispersed around in individual stocks.  The problem is that, although I haven't contributed a nickel since, that 11k is worth substantially more- (thank you Apple and Alibaba).  

    The thought of paying taxes on the future gains pisses me off, so I'd like to convert it into a Roth, but if I understand correctly, the upfront tax burden is going to be a real kick in the teeth; and one I probably can't afford.

    Just venting mostly- I plan to investigate further with a pro- but if my understanding is patently wrong I'd love the correction.

    That is basically true - however you don't have to convert the IRA to Roth all at once, you can choose how much you convert each year and manage the tax bill that way. It may take years to fully convert (if ever), but you are moving money to no future tax liability. I have a similar problem, and at my age I will never be able to convert it all to a Roth, but on the other hand at least I can trade in my rollover IRA and not have to pay current taxes so it all grows tax deferred. And one of my bucket list, lifetime goals is to pay a million $$$'s in taxes one year, because that will mean I've done something that has been very profitable.
     

    tl:dr - take that Roth conversion one bite at a time

    It is probably worth more than 30 bucks... but I'll tell you what it isn't worth. 575. Plus 45 a guy for a cart. Plus 90 a guy plus tip for a caddie. Plus a 2 night minimum stay which at the cheapest is 500 a night. Can easily hit a grand a night. So best case scenario,  with no caddie and riding you're looking at 1620 to play pebble. Oh... and they also have not guaranteed to finish times. You might be on 15 and the Marshall comes and gets you and says you're done. Discount for those times?  None. And they pump out foursomes all day long like it's the star wars ride at Disneyland. 

    Truth - I've told people it is about $2 grand to play Pebble and they tell me it's "only"$600 - then I explain the 2 day minimum on-site stay, and to address GOTJ point, when we went 15 years ago we had Sunday brunch in the clubhouse, bought some overpriced souvenirs to bring home and then walked out to the 18th green. If they let our group out there they'd let anyone. It is majestic, and I felt like I was walking on golf history. But I need to win the lottery or inherit some money before I'd pay $2G to play it.
    Also, went to Carmel-by-the-Sea with Mrs Fairway the year after we got married, and you can walk down the beach and up the dunes to get near the 10th green, but if you are seen they will ask you to leave the course pretty quickly, but you do get a quick looksie from up there.

    Oh yeah - go Jordan

    Got to play Spyglass about 20 years ago and tore it up. Thankfully wasn’t prosecuted for the damage.

    I played it about 15 years ago, because we couldn't get a Pebble tee time (didn't stay on property, so you can only make them 1 day ahead). 
    Agree, once you head up the hill, away from the ocean it gets tough, and narrow. Not sure it was worth $350 but it is a lifetime memory. Still want to go back an play Pebble; but if you are out there you should play Pacific Grove Muni - the back 9 in on the ocean and was desgned by Jack Neville, who did the original PB layout. The front 9 is as muni as a muni can be, with fences to keep your ball out of the apartments, and on the 8th or 9th tee we took 2 steps back off the tee and tried to putt a ball down the road to the ocean

    Already causing a crater in the PPS, we knew this was coming though and 50M should fill pretty quick, but expect a red day. 

    It's a long Market weekend coming, and anything with open question marks will be a target for a continuation of yesterdays action. 

    looking at a open in the low 7's - I can't get in the offering, so low 7's isn't a bad price if you want in. But I'm already in, so I'll sit and wait for the NASDAQ listing and institutional ownership to drive the price back up 

    And I'm still pissed at myself for setting "round number" GTC orders - I had an order to sell some ALPP at $9.25 and it only hit $9.24 - I know better than making round number orders because too many times stocks might tic a round number and hit resistance. I've been burned by this on both the buy and sell side, and yet I never remember and still set prices on a big fat stupid round number, instead of $0.01 either way. 
    Live and don't learn is apparently my motto

    Spyglass is a much tougher course, hills, trees and longer; I don't think it is the wind on that side.
    If the wind comes up tomorrow, the guys on Pebble today certainly are catching a break

    of the top 30 players currently on the leaderboards, only 4  put up that number on Spyglass. Once the round is over there will be avg scores for each course, somewhere on-line

    Judging from the scores, there is some wind at Spyglass.

    Must be no wind today (I'm only looking at the scoreboard, not the broadcast), but a lot of guys are tearing up Pebble:
    Cantlay with 5 birdies in the first six holes
    2 players at -6, one is through 12 the other through 11

    Jordan makes a 20 footer to save par on 7 (the 100 yarder) to stay at -3 - oops, miss read that, 20 inches, so good up and down from behind the green., He hasn't had to make one from outside 10 feet, so far
