    these are actually from KLAW's chat today: "I think Max Kepler is going to be fine. Takes some pretty good ABs already. Potential all star? Above average player? 18-20 Taters a year? KLAW: Potential All Star. could see 20-25 HR, maybe only .240-260 most years, but with solid OBP because he'll walk. I say potential All Star because if I'm light with the bat, or he has a high BABIP year and hits .280, he'll be an All Star. "help decide a debate between friends. Dozier and Stewart to the Dodger for Jose De Leon and a low level prospect" KLAW: Which friend is the delusional Dodgers fan?

    Must be a FB meme....... I really struggle to remember stuff from when I was a kid. Clearly, I should recall the moon landing, or Watergate, but my answer is the Bicentennial celebrations.

    can we all agree that there is nothing we all agree on? (trick question......

    Even if she had sent classified material.....who cares, really? How did this effect the world at all.....compared to a scam university and paying attorney's general contributions right before they decided not to litigate.....just as an example that might matter more.....

    My other thing I do......I almost never sell stock unless I need the money. It is very rare I sell it to buy different stock......

    Apple is a tough one....I have it, and bought at a peak.....but, man, they have SO MUCH cash and they seem undervalued now (if that is possible with them), so we are holding it.

    there is so much amazing sausage in the world, no idea why someone with any money would eat spam.

    big fan, really big fan.

    Good golly I've lost a lot* in China and Europe the last two years! *percent wise, not dollar wise, I didn't have much there, but it still hurts

    I'm not critical of the page count, I'm fascinated by it.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I basically agree....am really surprised he is closing in AAA right now......and not one of the young guys they supposedly believe in.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I agree, this is a better idea....much more obvious place.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    Yay, we got to 21 pages! wow.......

    Wimmers is an interesting case. He's closing in Rochester, so they must see some value in him. But, he's not up. If he's not up this year, I'll be disappointed if they protect him. Not valuable enough to test him out on a terrible, lost season, but valuable enough to protect? That would seem odd to me....

    Oh, ya.....if she could do that consistently, she'd be SUPER rich......that's why most "advisors" are not worth any money at all.....

    I too have had issues with heat....which is why I used to feel the same as you. But, I just couldn't take the cold anymore (and, I have also winter camped.....).
  17. Mike Sixel
    If I had small kids (and I think I typed this upthread)..... I'd buy a duplex or three with some other investors, create an LLC to hold the assets, and gift a portion to my children every year. That way, they have an asset they can either get rent from to pay for college, or sell. It is PROBABLY more risky than a 529, but I hated that the 529 was tied to college/education. Heck, I am considering doing that right now, and several of us are trying to figure out if we are going to do this.
  18. Mike Sixel
    you have made 25% every year? that's insane. Don't switch, and send me your picks!
  19. Mike Sixel
    I used to say the same thing about -20......but I don't feel that way anymore. You CAN be outside doing stuff when it is 100 and not humid...and it cools down at night. I don't like it, but it is still better than -20 for me. I have zero interest in being where it is COLD, unless I am skiing or hiking on purpose in the cold....
  20. Mike Sixel
    If the young guys play well, and they go .550 the rest of the way? So, if everything goes right, will I continue to say they are bad? I honestly don't know what I'd think if that happened. I think it would have to be driven by guys that are younger, and not by sequencing, and not by huge BABIP numbers for me to have a lot of faith in the reality. But I really don't know how confident I'd be in next year. They burned me badly last year, even with my lower expectations for this year......

    Both. I pay for Motely Fool's stock advisor. It has more than paid for itself. But, that's just written advice, I still make up my own mind. I also have an adviser helping with some retirement items, but I also use them because they gave me access to a cheap loan to help start my wife's business. Realistically? Most people should do the following: invest the max in retirement, in index type funds Make sure they have 5-10K in cash available for emergencies Invest the rest in things they know about, but probably just in funds. Most people aren't patient enough to stick to an individual stock. That said, if you have money to risk, gambling it in the stock market can be profitable (or not), and I will keep doing it (and encouraging my sons to do so also).

    I can't see them delivering that many, if they do, the price is much too low right now.....but I have doubts. I keep trying to figure out the 100K.......If I had bought munis 2 weeks ago, I'd be happier right now. I really want to invest it in a REIT or three.....but I can't get myself to pull the trigger on any decision.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I love that show....really need to watch the last season, but it costs a whopping $2 an episode still
  24. Mike Sixel
    TSLA.....not so good. NVIDIA.....I keep adding more stock, and it keeps going up. I have around 100K from the house sale, which I'd like to keep relatively safe, but still have invested. There are not, with these interest rates, many options.......wish I had bought munis 2 weeks ago....
  25. Mike Sixel
    Tyler Jay? Wow....that is serious fast tracking.
