  1. + Houston Open and for some of us Northern types the first round of the Frozen Four (aka NCAA Hockey playoffs https://www.ncaa.com/scoreboard/icehockey-men/d1
  2. Just the NCAA doing stupid things, no idea why CBS (and friends) allow this rounds games to only occupy 2 timeslots when they could start the early game 2 hours earlier and push the late games 1/2 back and they'd have a solid 7= hour block of time to sell advertinsing. Maybe they all decided that they were making enough money off the tournament (lol - now that last statement is crazy)
  3. Or if the guy really was funding terrorist activity with untraceable payments, then maybe Nigeria is not a terrorist friendly country (then again it could be both)
  4. @Harrison Stafford - Holtec Intl is approved for a $1.5 billion loan from DOE to reopen the Palisades nuke plant. Not directly impacting 4U, but a move in the right direction for Uranium. I'm not saying it is an old facility, but original construction started in March 1967, and it was initially commissioned in December 1971; decommissioning was "completed" in May 2022, obv this is being reversed however I do not see a targeted date for restarting (I'm sure there are plenty of legal, licensing, permitting and testing to last for a couple of years) https://www.mlive.com/public-interest/2024/03/palisades-gets-15b-federal-loan-for-historic-nuclear-restart.html
  5. Lol - you must be new around here. We have all kinds of opinions, on damned near everything.
  6. clearly there is only one correct answer - best summarized technical analysis is - 🚀
  7. Thanks - missed that update
  8. Looks like Champ is going to have to find another pit to run - Good luck Jim, hope it works out for you, missed out on getting to Dozier's my last trip to Houston. https://www.doziersbbq.com/ THE LAST FIRES IN THE PITS AT DOZIER’S BBQ WILL BE LIT ON MARCH 30TH, 2024. We are saddened at this difficult decision, and it has been an honor to be a part of this community since 1957. We invite you to come by for a fond farewell from the Dozier’s family through the end of the month.
  9. Not sure the exact technical answer to the first question; for the second if you have to ask it is probably true. The NYSE and NASDAQ are separate entities - some history on the NYSE https://www.nyse.com/history-of-nyse#:~:text=In 2008%2C the NYSE acquired,listing on NYSE in 2005. NASDAQ is also a separate publicly traded exchange - https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com/resources/career-map/sell-side/capital-markets/nasdaq/ Both ICE and NASDAQ, Inc. are publicly traded, and the largest investors are institutions like Black Rock, Vanguard, State Street, TRowe Price, Lazard, etc - so it seems like it is a circle within a circle, or maybe just a big money manager circle jerk.
  10. 2nd fair warning - I am heading to Chicago for the weekend, last time I did this was end of Feb 2020 & the market went into crash mode. If this happens again in the next week it confirms causation 📉 Price me wrong
  11. fair warning - I have no principles
  12. please stop saying that, it makes my spidey senses tingle and I want to go layer on some SPY puts
  13. two things https://xkcd.com/1880/
  14. Ride the wave, or get caught in the undertow
  15. I am so disappointed in Black Rock - they had that chance and didn't name that fund the US Economic Dollar Institutionalized Liquidity Digital Opportunities Fund That's right - USE DILDO Fund
  16. The other leg of crazy valuation was the near 0% interest on "safe" investment in thinks like Treasury's, T-Bills, Muni debt, etc - because when you would compare the potential risk to the safe return you can get to multiples of 20x earnings (or sales) The simpler world was comparing earnings and dividends to interest rates, and then determine your risk appetite; but then tax inefficiency and stock buyback reduced the number of companies paying diviidends & 0.10 % interest rates made anything a better return. And then Covid hit, the Fed turned on the stimulus machine and "normal" recognized economics seemed to go right out the window
  17. If I ever get a UPS package like that I am going to put it into a frame along with the passes and the flag the I buy when I am there - and on the back of that frame will be a print out of each of the reject notice I have received for the past 25 years. But I also look forward to that day each year when I get the notice that the lottery is now open, because I'm a masochist related to the AGNC ticket lottery
  18. Time to look at 9-12 month SPY & QQQ put pricing - or to check for news stories and see if Michael Blurry is short {again}
  19. Let us think about these 2 statements, and ponder. So Nicole is verbose in dopplegangers and body doubles. Who is to say that her body double isn't in Atlanta, to give her a solid alibi, whilest Nicole terrorized the gay with murder at the lake in Austin. Now I'm not saying it but if it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck, and throws rocks while posting shit about rock throwers .......
  20. This could be one example of why your roll your 401k into a self directed IRA, you can buy crypto ETF. Thinks that make me go - hmmm this is something to think about 🤔
  21. Rahm knows how to put together a dining experience
  22. I am curious, not trying to be a dick, but what is the ceiling for bitcoin? I have never really been able to grasp the economic model that drives the valuation, other that it goes up because everybody wants some. Explain to me like I'm an idiot, what would be a good entry point and exit point for this as an investment. I get that it is an alternative to a fiat currency (US$) because those can get devalued by disaster, coup, cyber attack that locks up the banking system, etc.
  23. Japan government pension fund looking at crypto investing - this could be a sign of a top, if you remember when they bought into US real estate buying large properties in Hawaii and the western US (famously they purchased Pebble Beach, purchase in 1990 by Minuro Isutani, sold in 1992 to Sumitomo Bank sold the the current ownership group in 1999). Japanese investment has a history of chasing peak investments, or maybe creating them; not that this will be the case with crypto. But there is a cautionary tale in there. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/19/japan-pension-fund-explores-bitcoin-as-an-investment.html
