    People who put all of their life planning into one career choice are greedy and stupid. Those partners should have known.

    They should have shorted AA (and Enron) as a hedge to having all their eggs in one basket.

     

    {kidding........not kidding}
    I have a friend who left a small regional firm, when he was offered a partnership and saw that he'd be working another 20+ years only to payoff the retired/retiring partners.

    Dear DJT,

    The Alamo has walls and didn't keep the brown skinned people out; and neither will a modern day wall.
    Sincerely,
    Surly

    Dude... not even close. Spieth is at worst the 2nd best player in the post Tiger/Phil era.

    Spieth is my favorite player, in the current era.
    But I'm starting to worry that maybe you should say was not is.
    He needs to find his juju again, as he has fallen behind both the younger players (JT & BDC) and the rejuvenated older players (DJ & Rory) and even the old players are playing much better golf on a consistent basis (Phil & Kuch).
    Since last years Masters he has exactly 1 top ten.

    There is nothing I'd like to see more that JS go on another run like he had in '15 & '17 (maybe he plays better in odd years, I'm hoping to see it soon....say in 7 weeks)

    Bit of a Random conversation:

    “Dude, I cannot believe you went to a regular masseuse thinking it was a massage parlor and asked for a happy ending. No wonder you got the cops called on you.”

    And that was how I met Patriots owner, Robert Kraft.

    They should have never had that much of their retirement in one stock.  Period.  Are you some financial infant? 

    You realize that at the time in many 401k's you didn't have the ability to move company match from stock....those rules have since changed. But go ahead and paint with that broad brush.
    People like the Portland Utility that Updawg mentioned.

    I had worked at a company in the late 80's into the early 90's and 100% of the match was in Company stock, as a matter of fact the did 150% match if you put your money into company stock. I didn't do it because of the inherent risk, but many were enticed by the extra 50%; you could move your investment in company stock annually (if I recall correctly).

    If someone had their retirement wiped out by Enron that means they were stupid and greedy.

    Or maybe they were locked out of their accounts because of a blackout when the 401k conversion occurred when the nuclear meltdown happened.

    I knew some mid-level people at Enron, and the company match was in stock so they had over 80% of their 401k value tied up and couldn't liquidate. But go ahead and generalize.

    1972:  "Winter".

    2019:  Mass Extinction Event!!11!!!:

    Yeah - I really do hate how the national media terrorizes the weather. Somebody should unplug the map app that allows them to show that a storm is going to affect 200 million people, guess what, it is just rain, snow, and wind.
    The impact to me is I get up about 15 minutes early to shovel drive and brush off the car, and if its is really bad I might be a few minutes late to work....in the winter.

  9. Coat hanger to open a locked door is a life hack, not the nefarious skill of a thief.
    I've probably opened dozens of locked cars that way, usually helping out a drunk friend. This was mostly done years ago, before key fobs and remote starting apps.
    Hell the police carry 'slim-jims" in their car for just this purpose.

    They come in all shapes and sized - but it used to be just a coat hanger would do the trick

    Spieth's inconsistency is a head scratcher.  Sometimes I wish Greller would just knock him upside his head to get him to stop being such a baby on the Weekends. 

    Jordan's got "trying too hard/own worst enemy disease"

    I saw, but can't find right now, a comment by Greller where he basically stated that Jordan needed to stop using the greens book so much. That he is a natural putter and he is overthinking on the greens.

    But that would not explain the 5 bunker shots on #10 yesterday.
