I'm sorry, I don't mean to be insulting. But if you think those prices are inexpensive you're delusional. I can walk into my liqueur store and buy high quality German beer for $2.10 (tall boys 500 ml). For $30 ($6 a glass) I can buy a good Burgundy. For $18-$24 I can buy a very good bottle of Cotes du Rhone. The quality of these wines are very likely much, much higher than what you get in your grocery store glass. These are regular price btw, no sales. I live in Canada where alcohol is expensive due to taxes. I'm sure the prices are lower in the US for these items. I should mention that I am someone who has plenty of money. I consider the prices you've listed as very high and would not pay. The idea that an average person would consider that very inexpensive is incorrect to say the least. Liquor store is the same as a bar in Canada?

The new thing here is having a bar inside the grocery store with a rotating selection of local craft brews. Very inexpensive, $3 high gravity beer, $6 glasses of wine. With daily specials taking the beer down to $2 a few times a week and the wine to $3.

happy Gregorian new year!

35%. Primarily due to GNCMA, loaded up back at the lows of August 2016 and LVNTA bought them out in the beginning of Q2 2017 for ~2x YTD. Ditto FRMO, bought at the lows this year and their crypto voodoo had it as a 3x. ATUSF and OZM were also positives for the year. Sold HCOM for a decent profit after they got bought out by CBB. Took a loss on AIQ's takeunder. MTM losses on AWLCF and STNG.

Been to plenty of space shuttle launches (including the last one), if it's anything like that, it's spectacular...night launch even more so. Regardless, don't think you'll regret going.

Happy Saturnalia

might not be the cause, but probably will be a byproduct.

Probably had the best experience execution-wise with Ameritrade. Merrill is probably more on par with my experience with Scottrade. Kind of barebones, though the research reports are of a decent quality, which is a plus. But put up with it for the free trades which makes up for maybe not getting a fill at the exact number I want.

Oh..... They force people to liquidate penny stocks if the minimum balance is too low? That kind of sucks..... Have you seen any trade issues in ME? I Googled around and it seems like people really don't like ME's customer service. I have the impression that ME's customer service is as bad as IB? Yep. Seems silly. But guess you could always hold them somewhere else. No trade issues other than some questionable DRIP fills. Have only really dealt with customer service when moving accounts over but were helpful then...but could be a reason for that.

just a heads up that merrill has a minimum balance requirement for stocks less than $1. They'll force you to liquidate.

Between Gary Stevens and Calvin Borel for me.

Philly and Raleigh don't have the airports but Austin does? :o

Austin, Nashville, Raleigh, or Charlotte Think cities that currently or will soon have Google Fiber.

The next generation of aircraft are already being developed for mid-2020s and the design requires 2 pilots. It will take 7+ years even after regulation changes for manufacturers to produce a single pilot airliner. Could you fly an airliner single pilot in an emergency? Absolutely. But the current design won't fly (haaah!) for everyday single pilot operations. Labor unions will fight tooth and nail to prevent this (because 50% less safe) and the traveling public will be on their side. I can't see this happening for 15-20yrs+, and even at that point it will be cargo carriers like FedEx/UPS first. Fly, by your handle you may know more about this than me. But as I understand it, a plane can basically already fly itself today including ILS landings etc. Pilots are there more as fail safe devices if something bad happens i.e. you need a brain in an emergency. Given the cost/reward situation this is worth it since the cost of the pilots is quite small compared to the cost of the overall flight. Also in an emergency it appears that you need two people - one to fly the plane and one to handle comms and checklists. So I don't see that one going away anytime soon. Plane does already fly itself except for the first/last ~500 ft of flight when the flying pilot switches on/off the autopilot, and yes modern aircraft are equipped for auto-landing. Here's a video of an A320 auto land in the sim: Seems easy enough right? Well factor in a crowded airspace, having to deviate for weather in the area, working with flight ops to come up with another alternate landing site, and things start to get a bit more difficult. Especially as all this in theory would be occurring closer to the ground, where any flying mistake is magnified. Hence why now one pilot focuses solely on 'flying' and the other pilot on handling the comms. But you can see why some more tech upgrades (I'm thinking air traffic control primarily) to simplify the pilots job in the first/final stage of flight, it is certainly possible. But was mentioned, the unions would/will throw an unholy fit. So more likely it would be one of the lesser known non-unionized cargo airlines being the guinea pigs. There is one thing on the horizon that could accelerate the development, a pilot shortage. Lots of the low cost carrier and especially the regional carriers are struggling to attract pilots with their low pay structures. With a dearth of new pilots coming into the industry since the recession, the prohibitive costs involved for training, and more regulation in regards to minimum flight hours to qualify for a professional license something will eventually hit a breaking point.

Floyd is going to clown this guy. It's going to be a super boring fight, like the usual Mayweather fight. He'll score points and get out of danger. He wouldn't take the fight if he thought he would lose, he cares more about his legacy than another 200MM If ya'll want to watch a REAL top notch fight rather than this 'show', GGG vs. Canelo on September 16th. Both are knock out artist, could be decided by just one punch.

Just got to east TN. 2:40 of totality.

Pretty good, a good bit of ego stroking as well but if you can look past that it's a quality read.

poor greenhaven road capital's powerpoint includes all the edit comments someone left for an assistant to fix.

congrats Keith/packer!

Ditto Amazon. Signature Sleep. Been great for over a year

You are also seeing this a lot in the finance sector with back office, middle office, and even a few front office roles being moved from the NYC area to places like Salt Lake City, Nashville, Charlotte, Raleigh, and Jacksonville. Most of it is coming about because of tax deals being cut by the state to the companies to relocate jobs (no doubt cheaper real estate/labor is the main reason, but the specific cities is usually for tax purposes) But for the employees, the ratio of income to cost of living blows NYC out of the water.

Just waiting for the first sell in May and go away references

This may sound more harsh then I intend it to be so don't take it the wrong way. But this sort of thinking is a big part of the problem along with "market prices" for tuition thinking. I'd say that the people going into these schools cannot make informed decisions. Part of the problem is the everyone is special and you can be what you want to be bullshit. But also that these students are pretty young and not all have the ability to make the right decision because of youth/inexperience/etc. Furthermore, the biggest part of the problem is that they don't have the information to make an informed decision. For example they think they're gonna make 80-90k 3 years out of school. As DTEJD said here often that's wrong they'll make 40. But they don't know that. Also since the schools became de facto business they market to these kids pretty aggressively and throw a lot of bullshit their way. The employment and salary stats they publish are also cooked which contributes the misinformation. I know a couple of very reputable business schools that flat out lie in their stats. If the reputable schools do it you can bet your ass the lower ones are doing it "bigly". But sure it's the kids' fault they don't know any of this. Why should the schools bear any responsibility. If we follow this path then why do the schools even need admission departments? That would be like graduating from Elon in SC with a 3.5 in Business Administration and expecting a job in investment banking at GS. That would be really difficult, especially since Elon is in NC, not SC. ;)
