    I guess Chipotle.....but I pretty much don't do fast food other than Chipotle (and that's because it is a 4 minute walk from here).

    You might want to wait a bit...... But, I do agree. 1. We are overdue 2. We are overdue for market correction 3. Massive tax cuts, no real spending cuts=massive deficits 4. Rising interest rates 5. Fear

    Rome

    True, but if they can keep up with the demand for cars, and build great batteries, that is a nit...
  5. Mike Sixel
    seriously? Disappointed....

    Heh.....probably don't share tastes totally.....not sure these are all still there....I'll Foyles War (top choice) Dr. Who The Americans Vikings (on Prime)...a top choice Stranger Things Mozart in the Jungle ... a top choice Firefly....a top choice Parks and Rec Portlandia Sherlock.....a top choice The Guild Things I want to explore: The Wire deadwood Louie Veep Bored to Death Black Mirror Breaking Bad Longmire The Fall Broadchurch

    If only he can control the governors, state legislatures, courts, and congress.....all while appointing right wing judges who probably don't agree with him on social issues...
  8. Mike Sixel
    Mauer....and his babip went down while his hard hit went up? Huh....but then, maybe those aren't as correlated as I think they are.
  9. Mike Sixel
    And having no plan for the globalization of the world to drive down our wages.....even though everyone that studied it at all knew it was coming.....

    I own some TSLA, I just worry Musk IS TSLA, and I'm in for the long run on these investments.... And, I have thought about getting in further, just haven't. I own GM (just sold all my Ford today)....
  11. Mike Sixel
    It does amaze me that people mad about factory jobs disappearing don't realize it was (partly) the GOP's destruction of unions that is causing much of the wage and benefits losses.....like, it is patently clear, without even having to think hard about it.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I find the ads load very slowly on my phone.......like, it takes a couple seconds! For information to flow across the world! Not the solar system, but just the world. UNACCEPTABLE! Seriously, the ads do seem to load slowly on my phone. Chrome. Android.....

    Obviously not Twins, but I found this fascinating: ohioastrosfan 1:02 Obviously teams all have their own proprietary models they use to evaluate prospects. Based on your experience in the industry, how close are they to each other and to fangraphs models? Eric A Longenhagen 1:03 There is more variability than the public realizes.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Heh, I just sold some stuff in my retirement accounts (I manage them) and bought Goog, FB, and Amzn. I still, somehow, believe in the future of tech.... I did not go TSLA, as they are way too dependent on their leader, imo.
  15. Mike Sixel
    well, I'd argue most everyone in politics is pretty elitist, from personal experience and remote observation.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Pharma and banks should do well....probably. I wonder what other industries might be privatized? Or do well in deficit situations (still my assumption)?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Dude Abides 12:39 Do you prefer Kiriloff or Rutherford and why? Eric A Longenhagen 12:39 Rutherford. More confidence in the bat.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Erik 12:23 One thing I've learned from reading your reports is that a player with an initially unimpressive-looking report of a bunch of 50s and 55s is actually an excellent prospect, especially if one of those 55s is game power and the player plays an up-the-middle defensive position (like Brendan Rogers). Can you give some examples of proven major leaguers who are 50-55 across the board to have in mind when thinking about that sort of prospect? Eric A Longenhagen 12:24 Maybe Brandon Belt, Logan Forsythe, Nick Gordon is that kind of prospect but with less power than Rodgers. Denard Span.
  19. Mike Sixel
    van....you missed this one: John 12:11 Berrios... ugh... say it ain't so. Odds of making some solid progress in year 2? Eric A Longenhagen 12:11 Just looked like a different pitcher last year than he did as a prospect. I have very little idea what to expect.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I doubt most anyone put much thought into it (outside this thread, as this thread is full of thoughtful people, though I miss the conservatives) before the election, no. Denigrating education and politics as elitist tends to turn the masses off, which is, of course, the reason you do it if you are in power.
  21. Mike Sixel
    that was my thought.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I think if you look back in this thread, you'll find I asked for the EC to go before the election. I could be wrong, that could have been FB.....assuming, and stating, it is about the dems losing is insulting. I think it needs to go. Have for years.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Why are the Sox trading their ACE for a win now guy, if they are blowing things up?
  24. Mike Sixel
    I'd like to keep Granite, as he's actually the perfect 4th OF to me....
  25. Mike Sixel
    And yet they are still terrible. So, while the lists are fun, something isn't working in MN, to have 10 top 100 players, and still be terrible. As the owner said, there is some kind of total system failure.
