What a joke.  The kid was on a public board just saying what he thought.  These guys stopped the ability to buy but not sell!!!  The game is rigged. I lost some dough on it but I was prepared to, so whatever! 

What he did- being a registered broker and working for mass mutual, while posting stock picks on the internet is what the SEC is looking at. He prob will and should lose his license, and I wouldn’t be shocked if the CFA did something as well. The rules around this are very stringent. Historically I’ve had to upload my personal accounts to a company platform for real time monitoring, clear trades internally before executing, been barred from owning anything but index funds or combination of all of the above. These rules are taken very seriously by the SEC and any financial company’s HR dept. He’s basically untouchable from a hiring perspective- not that he cares anymore.

Try nailing a forecast that had 22 inches in Newburyport on the ocean but nada in Gloucester 10 miles south or 12 inches in Westerly RI but 2 on the coast in Charleston RI 7 miles away.

Also the gradient within Tolland city limits was insane. A five inch gradient in one town, ALMOST unheard of. Can’t be expected to nail that.

Back up to maybe 1/2 - 3/4 mile vis. Eyeballing 6’’. Guessing I’ll wake up to ~ a foot while there are some epic 20’’ amounts just to my SE. oh well. 

I think that’s going to be me...prob a foot here already- it has been incredible.

Anyone have any good stay and play packages for golf in the New England area? My buddies and I are looking to book for the summer and don’t feel like going down south to Myrtle beach or something 

Red jacket down in Dennis? I think it’s Dennis has a good one. It’s a par 3 course but in excellent shape and very challenging. Also a great jumping off point to play wherever you want on the cape. I did that for a few yrs w my dad...lessons in the morning, all you can play after that. Felt like I was on tour.

sunday river is also great- love that course. Although getting up there is annoying. And I think you’re married to that course if you go up there, although others may know the bethel area better than I.

Eye of the beholder I guess...85% against severe disease and 100% against death. Single dose. No cold storage.

My opinion is that this is a great day for the less developed world in particular. If you told me a year ago we’d be in this spot re:vaccines I would have taken it and ran. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Those results from JnJ are about as good as one could expect. Great day for the world.

In other news, today we go to the moon. Lol

Right, but maybe someone else knows what he was talking about...

He was comparing you to DT- aka dick tolleris . Beyond that I dunno

edit: wait is that DT’s actual name?- lol

The thing that makes the Pope look really bad is he was so adamant he was going to be right.. was very smug about it. Then when he was 110% wrong... he didn’t own up to and admit his mistake. He just stopped posting. Everyone makes mistakes and busts. But own  up to it @jbenedet. Learn and understand why it happened and where you went wrong. Your’re fresh out of college and young. Don’t just run away with the deflated football. It’s a really bad look 

ill just leave this here:

I'm locked out on Robinhood - I don't think they can do that.  People on WSB are saying file a complaint with the SEC. 

Lol well I was making money yesterday.....today....nah so much. 

Trust me I get the frustration but....Robinhood and others that offer commission free trades are not doing so out of the goodness of their hearts. They sell your order flow to hedge funds that then front you and make you pay slightly more per share...fractions of a cent that you don’t even notice. The selling of order flow is robinhoods business model- that’s it. So when the hedge funds say jump, robinhood is always going ask how high?
 

It’s like your free checking account at whatever bank you use... that’s really paid for by overdraft fees of primarily lower income people, there’s no free lunch anywhere unfortunately

If mods are OK with it, I feel strongly about starting a separate, no politics(!) market thread in the SNE forum since people want to talk about it.  I don’t like to clog up the general banter thread.  

Thoughts?  

I tried and got shot down- granted I have no real credibility here as a poster so... But I for one promise to behave if we are given the go ahead.

Don’t they own more patents than anybody? 

They own a ton of good ip ya and they have good recurring rev’s. But that was like 8 yrs ago- haven’t looked at it since.

Are you long any retail options recently in the casino

Lol no options with personal money- I have a family. My bubble basket is just amc and bb right now and I’m just in for fun. I liked it more @ close than now. This whole storyline is just so absurd.

2 minutes ago, HIPPYVALLEY said:

BB and Nokia actually have some long value potential.  Not so sure about GME and AMC. 

 

I did an lengthy analysis of BB in business school and came away thinking the same as you.

but it’s not the reason I bought it- lol

Into amc at 15.50. Now it’s halted. Never has there been a worse investment thesis.

Citadel/ Point72 buy order flow to front run, Retail creates a short squeeze, Citadel et al buy Melvin for pennies on the dollar. Citadel/Point72 make out x2. Good business to be in.

Amc nearly doubled after hours ..on 135Mil volume ! 

Lol absolutely love it. I need to tell my grandkids I took part in the great hedge fund reckoning of 2021

Watch AMC, my fun $$ is going there at the open.

Our little 3 bedroom in Holliston built in 1966 has gone up like 100k+ in 4 years since we bought it. We bought it for 345k and most appraisals would put it at 450 now. It’s insane. 

All the new construction single family homes around here are going for 700+ and most of them over 800. 

Friend bought new const. in holliston. Absolutely beautiful, but ya very expensive town- but good schools etc...Great place to live.

One thing we need to remember when talking home prices is the per month mortgage pmt is basically unch even before inflation since the 80’s. Although our houses are bigger and less people live in them. That’s probably more at a national level tho but still.

Gal definitely FTW.....man....and the Wonder Woman theme song is so great...

Meant family night at the movies- not a big movie guy or superhero guy for that matter. Let the pillaging begin.

Just came back from the movies.  Our local family owned theater rents out screens for cheap. It was just our immediate bubble.   They have increased the variety of food they sell too.  This is the third time we have gone but the first “new” film.  Back in the fall we watched a couple of older movies   This time we watched WW84 which wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.    And Gal Godot ftw

That is a seriously great idea. I’ll be stealing this one- thanks!

I haven’t seen it but I think  the “hit piece” narrative came from Tiger’s reps. I read a review that said it’s good but different from the Jordan one. Of course it would be without Tiger’s input. 

ya good points all around. i'll def be giving it a watch.

2 minutes ago, Damage In Tolland said:

The Tiger documentary is absolutely awesome . 100x better than the Jordan one. I could watch it again 

100x better than Jordan's? damn I'm going to have to make it a priority.

Is it a hit piece tho? read that somewhere, who knows where.

Mods contributing to cancel culture.  Hate to see it. 

No one is saying cancel culture, the mods can do whatever they want. it is literally their website.

What brought me to actually post was seeing some posters regularly troll and misinform and not get called out, like whatsoever. if that doesn't happen then fine. i have literally nothing to add on the weather side- just follow the experts here- who are very good. That's fine by me.
