I think next week will see a solid decline in prices. That bounce was huge, but I don't think people realize what social distancing is really going to mean........
-
Rhodes and Joseph released..... No real surprise.
-
No biggie. I know the risks..... I'll just hold it in my retirement account. I figure I'm up to six years of lost retirement savings, taking into account compounding going forward. That's gonna hurt, given my age.
-
This is why I shouldn't day trade..... Sigh.
-
Just bought A LOT of Zoom. Figure I can make 5% in the next week or so, then sell.....like day trading, only in my IRA so there are no tax issues....
-
I might flip in and out of zoom as it yo yos. I'm not buying anything as an investment right now, just "day trading".....as it were.
-
more grounded
-
It will be interesting to see the form of the relief......and if it matters. Because I'm guessing today was all about the relief.....didn't get my 5% gain on my tech stocks, which still would have left me 15-20% down, so still happy I panic sold from that one portfolio.
-
You're welcome. I just sold ALL MY SHARES in one of my retirement accounts. Ok, not all. I still have zoom, which I bought more of yesterday. Sigh on that......I'm predicting a big bump later today now that I did this.
-
Played Azul last night for the first time. My wife utterly crushed me, but it's a good game, and it's easy to learn, and it looks good. We'll keep playing (unless it becomes like cribbage, and I lose 95% of the time).
-
Not a fan of the end of season four on the Expanse. Oh well. Still a good show, but it felt rushed the whole season.
-
Nice morning if you own healthcare. So predictable. Angry I didn't place that bet yesterday.... Well, not angry, but I should have
-
the market isn't exactly booming after the rate cut........
-
Yes, UNH.....I did give my sons each thirty shares I paid almost nothing for....
-
From what I've read, those aren't my style....I really only play turn based RPG old school stuff. I'm more of a board gamer..... Just bought Azul. Hoping we play tomorrow night.
-
Was a good day to own too much UHN.....I don't like what I expect the next few months to be, and we just decided to fix our sewer and get AC..... So now when to sell a bit?
-
Baldur's Gate 3 looks amazing. Might need to buy that one.
-
This has not been fun! But, I don't need this money (other than 20-30K) anytime soon. I thought about going to cash just before the fall (in my one IRA I manage somewhat actively) but didn't. Oh well...... Stay strong everyone.

The NL East is stacked. Wow.

Astros Being Investigated for Using Tech to Steal Pitching Signs
Mike Sixel replied to Vanimal46's topic in Other Baseball
Ortiz's point is don't admit anything, ever. Cheat, and get away with it. Be bad, at all costs, to win. That's his point. He's not interested in doing things by the rules at all, everyone knows this. -
Twins Daily 2020 Top Prospects: #5 Jordan Balazovic
Mike Sixel replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
I wasn't questioning the innings, but the conclusion that we should trust that they know what they are doing. We just, imo, don't know yet. -
Three Truths and a Question about Twins Payroll
Mike Sixel replied to John Bonnes's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
The interesting thing about this to me is that is SEEMS LIKE THEY REALLY SPENT A LOT, but it turns out they didn't really increase payroll that much. Also, they are 17th in opening day payroll right now, so they didn't exactly bump it way up near the top 10-12 at all. That's an observation, btw, not a judgement. Next year? Lots of money coming off again next year. -
Twins Daily 2020 Top Prospects: #5 Jordan Balazovic
Mike Sixel replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
I'm curious why. We have no real data, one way or the other, about pitching development for this FO. It's much too early, imo, to draw any conclusions. -
I agree with this!
-
You fail to point out they need to buy their own equipment, unlike other jobs. And that they often are in extended spring training (no pay received for that time), and that they train nearly year round now (and pay for that) so they don't have as much time for other jobs. They often have to pay for their "meal that is provided in the clubhouse". People really should read some of the articles by actual minor league players about how much money they lose each year trying to make this all work out for them.
