This affects us all

Very true. They are also a huge help with parents who are responsible. As a young kid, I went to work with my grandfather on some days in the Summer. He was in the trades. I’ll never forget it. My grandma was generally my baby sitter. Both my mom and dad worked full time. My parents are/were (dad passed some years ago) the same way as my mom’s parents. They wanted to be actively involved with their grandchildren and helping my wife and I. They so loved being grandparents that I remember a weekend night opportunity came up for my wife and I at the last minute. My folks dropped formal plans they had in order to babysit. We didn’t ask them to do that. Truly amazing. My mom still spends a lot of time and activity with our youngest (in high school). I couldn’t have asked for better grand parents, and neither could my kids. We have been blessed.
Mary Anne and I live in a Mother/Daughter W of WP, bought expressly to house us to baby sit when necessary for Matt's 4 Sons. 2 left are in grade schools. 1 in College, 1 US Navy.

I give "hints" to all 4 .

Mary Anne is the true Grandma, she's outside now herding the 15 or so chickens back into their coop before it rains. Eggs for breakfast !

We are valued, at least I hope so .
 
You are too dumb to realize those two actions are not contradictory. Ask Clay Travis what he thinks, I hear his IQ is 75.
Is that the guy that has an open wager with WNBA Champs for $ 1,000,000 against a high school boy's State Championship team of his choice !

He WON $ 1,000,000 on Muck ! Better than Gump !

No game yet !

It has been brought to my attention the following : Blackstone may be in talks to acquire a company, privately owned, not listed on any exchange.

Jersey Mike's has approximately 2,800 sub shops.

The price ? 8 BILLION dollars !

Cover your shorts. (Not Bermuda's)

DJT is up 12 % today. Going short exposes you to unlimited risk. So be careful.
I'm happy (not sad !) that I made OVER 200 % on 2 different Puts on Avis and Tesla.

Beats counting pills !
The stock is likely up today as some shorts are covering their positions and taking their profits.
You are the one who was talking about how Trump's net worth went up on that dog crap stock.
You have been silent on the stock until it finally went up today.
DJT is a crap stock and you will not admit it.

Everyone knows that your exposure is unlimited on a short sale and on a put the limit is the cost of the put.
Also, the expected return on a option is 0%. Zero sum game.
Can't wait for your next investment tidbit.
 


RDS runs Florida very well. He actually tries to put people in place to follow the science. Terrific leader.

I believe @stoneaxe27 voted against him for a crackhead. Am I correct on that?
I wouldn't vote for DeSantis for dog catcher. Horrible Governor, everything performative, has not resolved one real problem that Florida has, and it has a lot. Lies about everything like his S.G. being competent, and Massie not being a fool. Lost to Disney, had to settle don't say gay as he was about to lose. His political career ends with his term as Governor.

Trump's shitty stock reported $4M in revenue in 2023 and a $53M loss. It's basically a valueless company. If BW is arguing something different, he's totally lost.

I suppose the argument for it is that it's a "start up" and could become something. But Truth Social has been around awhile now, and it just isn't getting interest.

It will tank further as it has to do Q1 and Q2 reporting. Revenues won't go up much, best guess. Trump is involved, so the business is shit.

How ****ing dumb are you? Disney got its ass kicked in the RDS litigation. And did so because it's legal strategy was a political strategy, as the Disney legal claims were exceedingly weak.

Disney attempted to encumber the property prior to RDS's Board taking over the Disney special district, with a development plan that would effectively thwart the RDS Board having any control. The settlement revoked Disney's plan entirely, and now Disney is subject to RDS's Board.

Of course Disney and the Board have incentives to be collaborative going forward. What RDS wanted was leverage on Disney (because he was mad about Disney's political stands), he and future Governors now have it. I'd admittedly be surprised if Disney and the Board don't work well together to, you know, promote Florida's biggest cultural item.

Dumb..How about informed compared to your belief DeSantis is a Rock Star. Disney is doing fine and State backed down. Don't say gay, State backed down. He trashed U of F. Trashed New College, Trashed the State Board of Education. Disney and State got along great for 70 years, what changed. Little dictator couldn't stand free speech. Disney holds the cards as to spending money to expand. State will do what Disney wants, including paying for all of the services that Disney was solely responsible under the former set up. Since you are not ****ing dumb name some bills passed by DeSantis that solved a problem in Florida. All performative culture wars in order to replace Trump. Even the base couldn't buy his Shtick. Look up how many are moving out in contrast to moving in, about 2/3. Article was too long for me to post. Tell me your rock star has a future in politics.

Moron. Disney filed the suit challenging the law that created the Board overseeing it. Disney lost at the trial level and it has paused its appeal. The Board filed suit against Disney seeking to overturn Disney’s efforts to impose a Development Agreement before the Board was created. Disney settled that case by agreeing to revoke its self-imposed Development Agreement. Disney lost both lawsuits, tho one remains on appeal. Total defeat for Disney.

You’re not even competent to be a paralegal with this level of legal analysis.

Also this needs its own post. Florida is gaining population. Only Texas is gaining more. Do you think otherwise?

Keep reading up on the Disney suits. The state court case was settled at the initiative of the State (BD) as they saw the cost to them was immense and Disney held the cards as far as future development, spending in state etc. So they pushed for a settlement conference and settled the case. The federal suit is on hold as a condition of the state settlement. What did Disney lose? Plus not only have they been sold out ticket wise this year, you need a reservation. Best year ever despite your Rock Star trying to assert that parents are concerned with Disney's treatment of children So you are wrong, but I am not going to disparage your legal skills, you just have stars in your eyes over DeSantis. I also see you can't answer any of my other points. De Santis has no future just as he had no success running for Pres. Every knowledgeable Pol in Florida, including Republican operatives have said he is a weeny that comes across as one on the campaign trail and is a horrible candidate. He has proven that.
I am surprised at your juvenile response.

Dude … if the goal of RDS was to lower ticket sales at Disney, he’s a moron. I’m a fan of Ron’s, but we spent part of our vacation in 2022 at Disneyland when his war with the mouse was front burner. I would hope RDS wasn’t trying to sink a major source of tourism in his state.

The state case settled because Disney’s Development Agreement was never going to survive. Disney knew this. Likewise, RDS’s Board would have been cutting off its nose to spite its face if it didn’t want Disney to do lots of future development. The whole point of the Board was and is to leverage Disney in the event the company acts in a way viewed as “out of line.” We can comment on this being a bad policy, but when a state gives you massive privileges as Florida has and will continue to do … you sacrifice some ability to act in contrast to said state’s interests.

Again, Disney lost the case challenging the Board’s enactment. The Board’s case was settled with the Board getting the relief it asked for in the settlement. Of course the Board is now cooperating with Disney … their interests are now largely aligned.

DeSantis got like 60% in the 2022 Florida election. Lots of Dems voted for him. Just because R primary voters are idiots doesn’t mean he’s a terrible politician. He’d won an open House primary, an open Governor primary, three House general elections, and two Florida Governor races (including one while dragged down by Trump) without a loss before the Stupid Party did what it now does and nominated the worst candidate it could find for 2024 President.

Btw, your legal take on Disney seems premised on the idea that RDS wanted to destroy the most important piece of Orlando’s economy. That’s possible … just seems unlikely. I’d bet he wanted Disney to move out of politics - which is what has happened.

I posted the Trump stock listing to show the idiots that have TDS have MADE him billions.

You have no idea of the reasons for the appreciation of the stock.

Many stocks have no profits at time of listings. Read the red herrings for IPO's, you will never buy a share, long or short.

If you expect a zero return on options, keep your funds in a money market fund.
My Roth IRA is what I use to trade options, It's NOT a zero sum game !

You really shouldn't be trading options since you don't understand what you are doing. Options are a zero sum game. The expected return on options is zero. For every dollar you make somebody loses a dollar on an option trade. I am not talking about using options as a hedge (covered position).
 
Again, Disney lost the case challenging the Board’s enactment. The Board’s case was settled with the Board getting the relief it asked for in the settlement.
No, they did not win the case, the Board felt a "strong" need to settle, so the pushed a mediated settlement. The Board was the force behind getting everyone to settle the case. As you said, they realized they were cutting off their nose to spite their face. Disney is going to do what-ever it wants to do in Florida, it is the multi-Billion Dollar elephant. When the Board got some assurances that some of its economic concerns were limited by agreement, and Disney received acknowledgement that it could continue to operate as it always had, they settled. DeSantis got nothing, he bad mouthed the Mouse that everyone loves, and he found the State and local governments were going to have to shoulder the economics which Disney had paid in full when it "was" the Board. Mad scramble to undue the PR move that didn't generate good PR.
 
Big Will ... not liking Trump is not deranged. He's a corrupt sociopath who has a left a wake of devastation across he life. He stole tens of thousands from scores of lower middle class Americans who thought they were going to a "Trump University" to learn the tricks of real estate (and if you think he didn't, he paid $25M to settle the case they brought). He stiffed many contractors. He bankrupted casinos. He cheated on all his wives; his current wife quite openly detests him. He's basically a complete scumbag, and you've deified him. Now that is deranged.

As for the stock market, you came on here trying to clown people about DJT stock a few weeks ago. Since that post, the stock is down $40, a loss of well over 60% of its value from the date you hyped it. THIS WAS LESS THAN THREE WEEKS AGO. That sure strikes me as a disaster for its independent shareholders, but they should have known better. Just another Trumpian scheme some idiots fell for. Btw ... the stock is down another 5% today. SELL, SELL, SELL!
Did you short it and make a boatload of money since you knew this was coming? It would help make 2024 another record AGI year for you!

For a guy who refuses to invest in the market, you sure claim to know a lot about the market. Since you claim to understand the market then you are just plain stupid not to invest in the market since it is totally rigged to go up.
You really can't lose provided you don't invest in stupid stuff. Here is a safe portfolio for you Jeff: XOM, P&G, COST, MSFT, APPL, ABBV, BRKB. Nothing outlandish and you will make solid dividend income accompanied by growth with little risk. You will also be able to sleep at night and should stay ahead of the ever-present and growing inflationary pressure that you put in office in 2020.

I didn’t advise anything you ****ing chode.

I pointed out that you bragging about $DJT reaching an all time high and how your savior was profiting billions was ****ing stupid. It’s tanked 50% since you posted, yet you refuse to acknowledge it.

You’re a sad old man obsessed with an idiot celebrity and are so captured that you’re incapable of acknowledging a single flaw. It’s pathetic.
