Hi @Cod Liver Oil, what broker are you using to gain access to the Expert Market?
-
@gfp, @matjone or anyone else - have you figured out how to buy on the Expert Market?
@Tim Eriksen I'll call Odeon tomorrow. Thanks for the lead!
@Spekulatius I'll call Caldwell Sutter and Robotti tomorrow. Thanks!

Is it real that NY is allowing marijuana business but ONLY for criminals? Someone told me this and I honestly don’t believe it. It’s almost as if you think of the worst way to implement a solution or something new to solve an existing issue …IE, COVID, taxes, crime, exodus to Florida, homeless, drugs, etc….and they single out the one thing anyone with a brain wouldn’t do, and choose to do that.
What are you referring to? Is there an article you want to share? -

@SalukiI never read “guns, germs steel etc”
how did you find the book ?
I loved the book. It is one of my favorites. I haven't read research papers arguing the opposite points to Diamond, but I'm sure he wasn't correct on every little thing.
I'm reading 1491 and and am enjoying it. 1493 is on my list too.

I agree on the coffee and the fries and the consistency.
Now do Starbucks - I mostly drink Cappuccino and they are all over the place in terms of what you get with airport franchisees being the worst.
I sort of have given up on Starbucks, as the experience during the pandemic got worse. I usually went there for breaks on long drives but they sort of closed the stores and those that reopened had a lot of issues. It's not a surprise to me that Schultz cam back to salvage his baby - the relatively strong financial numbers withstanding.
This second or third time Schultz has come back to revitalize Starbucks right? It's not a particularly good sign that things deteriorate when he's gone. Something is working properly if it can't survive without him. It's such a huge company and they should have a solid roster of managers and executives to keep everything going without him.

From the way you describe it in the beginning, it sounds like they aren't breaking laws, just being quite slimy. I'm not a legal expert at all though.
The second half certainly sounds like it's not legal. Using family members/front people to run the companies. I don't know. Maybe it's legal. As you say it sounds like regulators should be involved.
I hope more people chime in so I can learn more!

You are welcome and thanks for saying that! You must have an interest in electromagnetics?
Not specifically, but just a general interest in science. I like learning about all kinds of different things. : )it’s really incredible how many different things there are to learn and just how little I know!

I have a YouTube channel with over 22,500 subscribers. The subject is electric and magnetic fields. It is mostly demonstrations with explanations. These are demonstrations I have generated for a class I teach. I do many of them live in class.
Link? -

His interviews are basically the same since a decade. How is he one of the greatest investors of all time? He did not come even close to beat the market the last 10 years.
He doesn't republish his book despite huge demand.
Druckenmiller's interview at Sohn this year was much more insightful.
Do you have the link the to the Druckenmiller interview?

This book finally arrived today. It was a fast, but good read. Tons of real advice in there. I'd strongly suggest anyone interested in business read it!

I just ordered the book. I'm looking forward to reading it!

Hi @rb. Just out of curiosity, what did you find interesting about this company? I did a quick glance at the financials and it looks like a very difficult business. I assume you know more about it than me, and the stock did nearly double since your first post. It is also up to $20.00 from $0.90 in 2009.

Saw this 'feel good' story in the Times today: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/06/realestate/tenants-eviction-port-morris-bronx.html
Just imagine the nightmare of being this landlord. You buy a building with negative cash flows, aren't allowed to raise the rents, can't evict anyone, and get bullied into selling the property to a nonprofit for a massive loss after 5 years of hassle. In the end, it will end up in the hands of the tenants for basically free... tenants who couldn't pay the below market rent or even afford to pay to split some appetizers at a tenant meeting. Imagine when there are costly repairs that will be due.
Not sure if you can pull up the link, but here are some snippets from the article:
Those tenants won the lottery getting that building. Keeping it in running condition will be hard if they can't even afford appetizers as @aws said. I'm sure their tune will change when the non-paying residents continue not to pay and the expenses must come from the pockets of the responsible ones. It will be interesting to see a follow up story in a few years.
So many people are being priced out of the real estate markets, but really they just don't want to live in cheaper areas. There are huge parts of the US where you can get a decent house for cheap. 25k-250k. So many options, but they want to live the city life for free.

Looks interesting. Thanks for the review. I just ordered it.

Terrific show! Casting has been well done for this series.
I’ve been watching this too! Much better than I thought it’d be! -
A beautiful tree is really a blessing. This tree was on a property I recently sold. I should have taken the tree, but I’m not sure where I’d have put it. Or how to move it. Next time I suppose.
Edit: I’m not selling any properties to avoid a 20% price drop. No way. I sell if I absolutely must, or have too good of an offer to pass up.

The school switched to the Sonacas which to be fair im fairly happy with
Any idea why they switched? The 172s are very common planes. Those Sonacas look pretty cool though too!

Started in the C172 but now completing it in the Sonaca s201
How come you switched planes? The C172 is a good starter plane from what I’ve read. I haven’t taken any lessons, but I want to. -

I was just in WV the past four days at a cabin and spent a night camping at the Greenbank Observatory air strip campground. Didn't have a telescope but the view was still amazing.
Cherry Springs in PA is also a solid location for people on the East Coast
The area around the Greenbank Observatory is very beautiful! Must have been stunning to see the dark night sky!

A couple of years ago I was into astro imaging, part science part art. I really enjoyed it but unfortunately Germany isn't a very good location for this hobby.
Awesome photos!
There is so much cool stuff all around us. I can’t wait for the James Webb telescope to be up and running. All the startup procedures are going well from what I’ve read.

I gotta complain too. I bought an iPhone 13 Pro when it came out and it wasn’t good enough so I returned it and went back to my iPhone 8 Plus.
My iPhone 8 Plus finally started to fail so I bought the iPhone 14 Pro Max and it has all kinds of glitches. Not to mention I spent about 8 hours with AT&T and apple to get my e-sim to work. I feel like I should send them a bill.
Glitches:
- When I’m on a call with the phone at my ear, all the notifications go off at full volume right into my ear. It’s horrible. Apparently there is no fix for this.
- frequently the phone is slow. 1-3 second delay when tapping things.
- airdrop frequently doesn’t work or even show up.
- lots of the fancy shapes for notifications show up square shaped and with delays.
iPhone software seems to be declining and it really sucks. iPhone hardware is good and the new M1 & M2 Macs are phenomenal too.
