  1. There's gold being sold on FeeBay! and they do take their slice...
  2. Seconded. He's been a very gracious poster and responder. I've learned a lot.
  3. WRT BNSF, it sounds to me like poor mouthing from Omaha, and as to BHE, hell only a few months ago we were all hailing the dramatic reinvestment opportunities for this business and suddenly it's all gone? BRK specializes in global risk management. I don't buy it, but I will hold through it. He did sound sad though, but not about the businesses. They should install a stripper pole / dunking booth in the office. Nothing like a good wet t-shirt contest to liven up a room.
  4. "All in all, we have no possibility of eye-popping performance."
  5. Apple's had a year now to learn what I like (jazzy, funky, lofi with stabs of Les Claypool) but it still sends questionable recommendations. I've never tried Spotify but might give it a whirl. It’s easy to hear how hip-hop descended from jazz: Not only are both rooted in Black expression, but both depend on that alchemical confluence of rhythm and mood we call flow. So when we say “jazz” here, it isn’t jazz in the traditional sense but jazz as filtered through hip-hop pioneers like Q-Tip, Madlib, and J Dilla before being passed down to a whole new generation of beatmakers whose music—low-key, chilled-out, intricate but subtly so—tweaks the sound while keeping tradition intact. Our editors update picks here regularly, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library (IOW, get off your bum and curate some mix tapes bc we're kinda meh at it). https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/lo-fi-jazz/pl.1c1744bbc1174cf2880c53b302d428a0
  6. I'd rather hear "guidance" on operational matters and leave the numbers projections off. "We're gonna do this, that and the other thing. Tune in to the next five or ten 10K's to find out how it all worked out financially."
  7. This is why I come here.
  8. Here's a Reuters of the same. https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/warren-buffett-tells-citigroup-ceo-fraser-keep-going-with-overhaul-source-2024-01-20/
  9. If I were you, I'd upvote this post.
  10. Byron Trott, friend or foe? How much did he know, about the Haslam's? https://www.afr.com/companies/buffetts-latest-deal-involves-his-favourite-banker-20171004-gyu3ht
  11. Yet it somehow seems appropriate that when ordering a crap burger, it should be done through a similar UX.
  12. If she can't remove an appendix she's not a doctor.
  13. Whoda' thought AMC could screw this up? I went to this place in Mobile, AL and it was smashing. https://www.nexuscinemadining.com also went to one of Mark Cuban's Landmark Theatres in Coral Gables and thoroughly enjoyed a truly lousy movie because the seats were so comfortable and the sound was perfect. Also had tasty raspberry Mojitos!
  14. I Googled and read a bunch of SWOT's and they all say the same thing(s). Biggest threat I see would be if they came out with a line of transgender Hershey bars. They already offer with or without nuts and I worry that might become an issue : ] => Seriously though, a stupid domestic acquisition spree could screw things up. To me Hershey looks like the Louis Vuitton of US chocolate. Boring and predictable with lowish but acceptable growth prospects. Thank Ozempic for the fear. I'm not a big chart guy but this was at a 52 week high last May and has steadily made new lows with a few little upturns along the way. I bought a small tracker and am hoping it goes sub $180 and maybe lower for a long term hold. We'll see. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/hersheys-bitter-ending-to-2023-shows-innovation-will-be-key-to-success-in-2024-says-analyst-203431326.html Can this be moved to the Hershey thread?
  15. I'm up 30ish percent in both taxable and non. Some of what I own rallied after being down at the start of 2023 and I had a few recent dumb luck picks (GOOGL and a quick ride up on SMH). Intel has rallied and I sold everything in non-taxable last week for a small gain and started rolling the proceeds into Hershey. I think Hershey will continue selling a crap-ton of chocolate and savory crunch snacks. I like that they acknowledge defeat outside of the USA and haven't tried to buy their way into foreign markets. I've made nice gains with NVO on the Ozempic hype and think Hershey could be a winner if they are not affected by widespread US societal dietary changes over the long term. This is an iconic American candy manufacturer with roughly 2 week product development times and the ability to chocolatize anything and slap the Hershey name on it. That's a lot easier to understand than Intel and I'll sell all of what I own in taxable in 2024 and likely roll the proceeds into HSY. https://techandmedialaw.com/hershey-trademarks-a-symbol-of-love/#:~:text=The Hershey's Kisses® packaging,words%2C logos%2C and design.
