  1. Non-pro tip: if you dont know the cost basis, neither will the IRS
  2. Has she come back from her swim yet?
  3. Just saying, the confidence the fan base have this year of feeling like the team can win every game (even if they actually dont).... Mack Brown delivered that for over a decade. Very few people did that in recent memory besides Dabo, Stoops, and the Devil. Pete Carroll was a few years short. Lincoln Riley got half way there and fell down.
  4. Yeah, every October weekend as fans we'd get doused in the face with cold water... BUT the team would resume winning the rest of the schedule (mostly), and then end up in a nice Rose Bowl or Fiesta Bowl. And also between the 2 NCG appearances Texas had their numbers so...
  5. pretty sobering on existential level when you know exactly the end of a species. this is a photo of the last catarina pupfish. died in 2014. the last of its kind for all of eternity.
  6. Every year I was on campus and years afterward as a fresh alum, "my team" was one of the best in the country and could beat any team in any given week. Very few UT cohorts, or any other program's cohort, have the luxury of that feeling. For that, I'll be forever grateful to ole Mack.
  7. 1. 2.
  8. Dont threaten me with a good time.
  9. But this is just quarterfinals so far, not even semifinals. It's still distant to the final. In 09 it was undefeated vs undefeated and they were vying to earn the best finish in school history (even if not in the actual ncg.. they ended up at #2 in coaches poll).
  10. because he already told his story, so definitionally it cannot be an untold story
  11. FYI the 'obvious' trade is to simultaneously long bitcoin and short mstr, in which you are betting on a narrowing of the price. But that hasnt worked as mstr kept diverging, and also most brokers wont cross-margin these 2 products so it would eat up lots of buying power in your account.
  12. Whatever you think of Bitcoin itself, MSTR is overvalued relative to its Bitcoin holding by a few times. Shorting a trending stock has uncapped risk, shorting call options is even more dangerous, and buying puts is expensive given its high volatility. After the holiday exuberance, stocks generally drop or stay flat at the beginning year, going into tax season. You can buy a 400/370 put spread expiring Feb 21st for $20. If stock drops to $380 you'll break even. If it goes further down you'll get max profit of $30, for a 1:1.5 risk:reward. (Completely ignoring the fact if it continues going up you'll lose everything). Who wants to take a punt on it?
  13. Well, everyone knows Quinn didn't kick your newborn puppy. What this thread presupposes is, maybe he did?
  14. FTR Im in on Target at 123. Giving it 6 months to return to 150s
  15. My 2 bags fumbled this year: palantir and smci. Before that, riding zuckerbook from 100 to 200 and the fuckers at 5-something now.
  16. Fuckkk. I bought a buy-write on SMCI when it got destroyed from news report of accounting irregularity. Got in at $23 on the stock, sold covered call at $26 strike expiring this week for $2.74 premium, so max profit is ((26-23)+2.74) = $5.74 per share Fucking SMCI blasted to $38 today. Profit could have been $15 per share. 😫
  17. When i was a kid i always found this dude the creepiest person on TV
  18. Does anyone else remember in the late 1990s Scottie Pippen shilled a pain relieving medical device that was literally a spark igniter you have on a gas grill — you’d just zap it on your body to supposedly heal it. Then he was on that incredibly stupid magnet/copper bracelet trend, and then he also sold some gingko biloba herbal medicine.
  19. Its almost 2025 already when are we supposed to get our AI wives?
  20. I dont know what this word means but ill take it as an insult
  21. If the enemy was sat in a Mig-15 and that little Goblin came at him, he’d probably die just out of laughter.
  22. We need more thinkers like this today.
