Yeah, this was different...The food stamps (California) are usually on the first day of the month I think. The first few days are big for the stores. This was the 6th day of the month... This may not have been a lot of food stamps (used up). I'm headed to Costco, I'll see what it's like...

My neighbor across the way is getting a new job. Last week he was trucking pizza (cheap) ingredients into the Bay Area at nights from the Central Valley. Next week he will be doing the same (accept picking up from Livermore rather than Tracy). This new job will be with the Teamster, and pay...

I drove by Round Table Pizza at about 12:30pm today...On my way to Walmart Grocery. No one was there (chain of about 400 pizza parlors)!! All the fast food places looked really slow. Walmart Grocery, looked like the Tuesday/Wednesday before Thanksgiving. I've never parked further from the...

I have been in the ninety five percental (for my age) in HDL and LDL over the years. How about you?

It seem like (from his post) high-speed trading—also called HFT, was not know to him... I could be wrong...Just taking the post for face value.

From his post you can tell he/she is new to trading...

Notice the part where firms place their computers next to the market computers!! This story is over nine years old...Speed is SO MUCH FASTER now. Let ALL new traders beware... https://theweek.com/articles/493238/wall-streets-secret-advantage-highspeed-trading

Quick update... I went to the local Popeye's today. Grabbed a regular chicken sandwich (I usually split it with my wife...Too many calories). I also picked up a small coleslaw, large mac and cheese (the container was about 60% full), and a large mashed potatoes and gravy. Including tax it...

8.87+0.41 (+4.85%) At close: June 4 04:10PM AEST Dividend GNC.AX announced a cash dividend of 0.10 with an ex-date of Jul. 3, 2024 I love this boring company!! They've paid special dividends a couple of times. I like to have some of my holdings outside of the US, with stable companies...

In my youth I did some backpacking on the Pacific Crest and John Muir Trails... Great memories...

I live in the boring (and fairly cheap [for California]) Central Valley (Sacramento to Bakersfield). The further away from the coast, the more conservative it gets in CA, OR, and WA.

I kid you not...True stories. Yesterday I was making a crockpot stew...Had a lot of the ingredients for it. I went to the local market (yeah, it was local with higher prices)...The store is still close in prices with other chain type markets. I picked up a 1/2 pound sirloin for $3.00...About...

Links to peer-reviewed papers...

I looked...(couldn't ask the right questions on Google), what percentage of margin accounts (say under $50,000.), are profitable after one years of active trading?? I'm sure there are studies or empirical data... Just curious...

The more I think about it...The less likely I would buy anything from Temu. I would be concerned about putting cheap products around me, that may cause harm to my body. The production of their items are not only made in unsafe conditions, but would be unsafe having around my body!! Would you...

I cleared a position from a bankrupt US company about 15 years ago. I didn't want the paperwork to deal with over the years...Tied up in the courts. So my broker (either Fidelity or Schwab) cleared the position on something like The Argentina Stock Market (MERVAL)!!

The problem is this is NEW public housing that needs to be torn down (because it is unsafe garbage) before people can even move in...It's like a 20 year old "project", only new. No water, sewer, electric, elevator, heat...10 stories up!! And the building could collapse...

It's a house of cards (sorry for the pun). Nothing will solve the China housing crisis. You put poor people into your worst units and bad things will happen (even rent to own). They don't have the money for upkeep. The units are so poorly built, China is unable to refurbish them. Having...

New buy in Roth IRA...100 shares. Hormel (HRL)...Bought at 31.09. Then did a covered call...Jan 25, $33.00 I got $1.72 (price improvement from $1.70)...Also a 3.31% dividend X on July 15th. I was going to say industry leader...Not really. How about mature company that is pretty much holding...

I have a friend who is a prospect researcher at a university. What is a prospect researcher? Prospect research, also called donor prospecting, screening, or donor research, is a technique used by nonprofit fundraisers, major gift officers, and development teams to identify high-impact donors...
