Random thought here, I have heard due to the situation in Venezuela, that if you buy gold in the country (not through an official means) you can pick it up at a serious discount i.e. 50% to what it is actually worth because they are so desperate to get USD there thanks to the hyperinflation...

Kroger had already taken a hit the day before also. Knocked them down to a 10pe...real question is are they a decent buy here

And they filed, now to see where we go from here.

Haha no, the retirement plan is through Empower. We went through a merger last year and they moved us from TransAmerica/Schwab to them...nobody has been too thrilled because we have to pay quarterly fees to them and the funds were very limited. I moved almost everything into the brokerage though...

It's funny you mention that, I actually had logged in this AM to use those funds to add to a holding and realized they weren't there anymore. It isn't a margin account, but I'd be willing to bet they would have liquidated something to cover the deficit if I had done that. It is in my 401k. Oddly...

Well, I can kiss that accrued interest goodbye, just checked in this AM and the interest payment had been removed from my account. Gymboree filed saying they were electing to not make the payment yet and are entering into their 30 day grace period....so best guess is a bankruptcy filing within a...

Haven't check in lately, I ended up buying the Gymboree bonds for just a little under 7 cents on the dollar in my retirement account within a couple days of my last post. I bought $25k of face value so not a very large investment $ wise. I believe total tied up was $2,500 but $750 of that was...

Haha so it's funny you say that. When I first saw it I was like oh shit here we go bitcoin is done. Buuut then I remembered back in like 2011 when 50 cent (the rapper) tweeted about some penny stock and it went nuts and it made me think maybe it won't have that effect just yet, but I'd say we...

Dan Bilzerian put something up on social media about "just bought a shitload of bitcoin" yesterday...he is a pretty highly followed guy, maybe that will drum up some extra attention for your above goal lol

Margin of Safety was about a 1 minute Google to find a nice PDF copy a year or two ago. Not saying that's the proper way to go...but it sure beat $900

Maybe you should start working out harder and aspire to smell like a successful workout....just kidding I've been next to some nasty smelling people at the gym. Like Steve said above, I don't know if it actually had anything to do with them not being clean. Some people just stink really bad when...

Pretty long discussion on which way to say it. For sake of simplicity, why don't we just put -jul/+aug or something when listing the positions or if not just quickly ask if you want to clarify something and move on with the discussion to something pertaining to the actual position. With that...

As cheap as it is and being a long shot, I'd rather just play the long game and go for the stock. Crazy it is still going though. I had planned to look for a pullback to buy after that big 25% pop....buuut that clearly hasn't happened lol.

This is one of those situations where i want to buy more, but I'm a bit hesitant still. I wasn't expecting it to keep running three days straight either. I think the potential is there though. Crazy the amounts some of these hedge funds had previously invested is now enough to basically buy the...

I bought a couple hundred shares a few weeks ago for a little under $10. The way I see it, it is either worth next to nothing or could be worth $50+...even if the probability of going to zero is higher, I'd say odds are the reward potential outweighs the risk.

I don't really follow him, actually hadn't even looked at his twitter in almost a year, but that's crazy man. I had no idea he was claiming to hit anywhere near that kind of size. Almost anybody tweeting about 100 lots is automatically going to set off a BS alarm lol

I was actually just about to say that Vader guy. Someone pointed him out to me last summer. I don't really get on twitter though so didn't know he was doing subscriptions. Either way can't say I've ever followed him on a trade but he did seem to have some decent calls.

I've heard similar numbers as well, but when I think of the number of pushups I can do then think about doing that many reps on bench press with 55% of my bodyweight, that seems even more challenging. But I've never actually tried it so might be completely wrong.

That is a super difficult thing to accurately gauge or compare. One guy could basically just sit at the bottom using almost zero effort for a big chunk of the 30 seconds or take a lot longer at the top when again there is less effort. Not doubting the difficulty there at all though. Just...

Video or it didn't happen....lol nice job man
