Name them with the dates.
George Sharp has been to 6 cities world wide.
He is, I imagine, past caring.
What's nuts is that they took his nuts and replaced them with nuts.
Well then, have some cookies. And plan to make the lasagne soon.
I am so hungry right now....
They look more like naan...
This recipe is authentic, as are the two variations suggested:

Don't know why the photos aren't working..
You could also choose one from this article. La Cucina Italiana is the best, and probably the oldest, cooking magazine in Italy.

I am actually looking for some baked pasta ideas by the way....old school style with light sauce(thin like olive oil). Any ideas?
Flour tortillas are not supposed to be flaky either. And they do not contain milk:

Again, very cheap and easy, but I prefer corn. I've never tried making my own. Oh wait! I did that once in Italy, where I obviously couldn't get masa harina. And of course I didn't have a press.
It was kind of like Lucy Tries to Make Tortillas...
Those are corn...I am talking about cheap flour.
However, there is still no milk in tortillas. There are only two ingredients. Most people would add some salt.

Another recipe, with salt:

Oh Janice...so wrong. It's only a spit of milk...and it matters. When I say flaky....it's not about biscuits.. :)
Um, tortillas aren't supposed to be flaky. Or to have milk in them.
I must have watched it in 2009. I took the entire year off. Had to given the aftershock and climate. That was my "pinto bean" and "home made" tortilla days. Made sure to splurge on milk to make the tortillas flaky. A lot of cabbage and cheese as well. The gas pains went all up in my chest from over consumption. What to do....
Just nuts..
And bolts, perhaps.
Dr. Michael Mastromarino DDS was a big story a decade+ ago. I see it was on American Greed in 2009. "The Body Snatcher: Michael Mastromarino"

"playing options." I disdain terms such as "playing or "trading" in connection with my life's savings. I invest (hopefully) in the world's best businesses, and usually long term. Never bought or sold options. Never used margin either.
Is that why you were talking about American Greed?...is that where I saw it?...it's just so wrong.... man!
No...and never. You have to be very disciplined and have studied thoroughly before playing options. They are fools gold more than not. Very lucrative ..but even the best get burned.
That is an old and creepy story from memory. Unfortunately it is common practice to bill clients as if items were already shipped..when instead they were stashed up to 30 days(not effecting the billing cycle). You just needed to hide it at the site(warehouse/storage..etc) to defeat auditors. So I am curious as to how they pulled that off given the items of concern. It seems as they just went ahead and shipped it to sight way ahead of schedule. Really creepy story...and I remembered it when reading this...:
materials purchased at local hardware stores, such as PVC pipes and rubber gloves
Just nuts..
Are options better to trade?
SRNW is a heavily promoted pump and dump scam. It has zero assets, zero cash, no business operations whatsoever, all that with a $40M market cap. It is overpriced by $40M, as it's absolutely worthless. All you see for "news" are ridiculous claims that a $1B business "might" merge into the shell and hand over their equity ownership to SRNW's bagholders for nothing making them instantly rich. That's a fairy tale.
One thing for sure, anybody encouraging you to buy stock has some to sell.
Maybe the SEC can teach you about OTCs
SEC Discloses Truth: "Outcomes of Investing in OTC_Stocks"
"Abstract:
This paper analyzes three aspects of over-the-counter (OTC) stocks: (1) the recent trends in the OTC stock market structure and size; (2) the documented properties of OTC stocks; and (3) the differences in returns based on investor and stock characteristics. Approximately 10,000 OTC stocks were quoted at the end of 2013 through 2015, generating a total trading volume of over $200 billion per year. Dollar volume has grown substantially since 2012 and is now concentrated in the segment of the OTC market with no requirements of registration or reporting to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). A synthesis of recent academic literature reveals troubling properties of OTC stocks. Academic studies find that OTC stocks tend to be highly illiquid; are frequent targets of alleged market manipulation; generate negative and volatile investment returns on average; and rarely grow into a large company or transition to listing on a stock exchange. Moreover, these properties tend to worsen when the OTC company has fewer disclosure-related eligibility requirements. I examine the relationship between OTC investor demographics and investment outcomes using a proprietary database of transaction-level OTC data with confidential investor information.
Analysis of 1.8 million trades by over 200,000 individual investors confirms that the Typical OTC Investment Return is Severely Negative. Investor outcomes worsen for OTC stocks that experience a promotional campaign or have weaker disclosure-related eligibility requirements. Demographic analysis reveals that older, retired, low-income, and less educated investors experience significantly poorer outcomes in OTC stock markets. Given that retail investors are the predominant owners of OTC stocks, and the documented trend towards less transparent OTC companies, the results of this study have important implications for investor protection."

Can you teach me what you think is better than the OTC? What are you investing in?
However, ...
... videos of go-go girls dancing are always appreciated here.
I think it would be more appropriate to post the video on the SRNW board. This is not the place for it.
Seriously? That is all typical OTC promotional BS.
Can I link you my tiktok video I made on $SRNW? It explains it and puts a face to the rumors. In short, supply and demand. Demand is going up. Supply is at a 7,800,000 float and being held tightly. Here are some tweets from George Sharp:
• There will be 2 forward splits.
• The first forward split will be a 5 for 1 ratio. The second forward split is at a undetermined ratio.
• There was a 94% share cancellation last month.
• Motion to terminate custodianship is 8/8/2022.
• George Sharp has been to 6 cities world wide and tagged $SRNW. But said, “do not ask.”
• It sounds like a huge blockchain reverse merger speculation!
No idea what's happening with it, though I see it's been going up. Why, since it's just a shell that hasn't done the promised merger?
Hey, Janice. Any thoughts on $SRNW?
Oh Lord. SERIOUSLY??
American Greed has little risk of running out of material.
BTW, I see AMC will issue new preferred shares under the symbol, "APE."
Nice to see the SEC getting into the spirit of things:

Zadeh Kicks Owner and Chief Financial Officer Charged in $85 Million Wire Fraud and Bank Fraud Conspiracy Fraud victims asked to submit loss information to the FBI
EUGENE, Ore.—The former owner and chief financial officer of Zadeh Kicks LLC, a now-defunct Oregon corporation that sold limited edition and collectible sneakers online, made their first appearances in federal court today after being charged with perpetrating a fraud scheme that allegedly cost customers more than $70 million in unfulfilled orders and defrauded financial institutions out of over $15 million.
"According to court documents, Malekzadeh started his business in 2013 by purchasing limited edition and collectible sneakers to resell online. Beginning as early as January 2020, Zadeh Kicks began offering preorders of sneakers before their public release dates, allowing Malekzadeh to collect money upfront before fulfilling orders. Malekzadeh advertised, sold, and collected payments from customers for preorders knowing he could not satisfy all orders placed."

Clearly the psychics omitted to tell the Jacksons many things. They should perhaps have suggested that ALL boats are "partially submersible vessels".

Body snatching and plain ol accounting shenanigans: RTI Sugical.
"1. This is a disclosure fraud and accounting fraud case in which Brian K. Hutchison (“Hutchison”), the CEO of RTI Surgical Holdings (“RTI”), masked disappointing sales numbers from Q1 2015 through Q2 2016 (the “Relevant Period”) by urging his subordinates to ship future orders ahead of schedule and report the revenue early. "
"In 2012, RTI was a defendant in a civil case involving the body snatching activities of Michael Mastromarino[1] and other organizations supplying RTI with human tissue and body parts.[2][3][4] The suit would have investigated how RTI ignored the questionable credentials of the organizations that supplied them body parts and tissue by forging consent documents and "cutting open the corpses and harvesting tissue, bone and organs and replacing those body parts with materials purchased at local hardware stores, such as PVC pipes and rubber gloves."[5] RTI's legal representation argued that the company is “allowed to accept tissue—without any civil liability whatsoever—as long as they do so without actual knowledge of a contrary intent of the donor" but that they are not, in turn, legally required to investigate consent.[5] The civil case was postponed in September 2012 in order to mediate settlements from RTI for the involved plaintiff families.[5]

Their psychic should have warned them: "Instead used investor money for "private homes, vacations, groceries, psychics, and recreational drugs."
"The SEC's complaint alleges that since 2017, defendants have raised approximately $4.7 million from over one hundred individuals across the United States through the fraudulent offer and sale of securities in Semisub, a company formed by the Jacksons purportedly for the construction and operation of a partially submersible vessel that would be used for commercial sightseeing tours in Hawaii.
The complaint alleges that despite telling investors through offering documents and other communications that their funds would be used to construct the initial vessel and then construct and market additional vessels to potential buyers, defendants misappropriated a significant portion of the funds raised to pay for their personal expenses, including, among other things, private homes, vacations, groceries, psychics, and recreational drugs. According to the complaint, to perpetuate the fraud and solicit additional funds to support their personal spending, defendants repeatedly lied to investors about the status of construction of the vessel and potential business relationships with reputable entities and organizations."

BRK, a small amount of BA, and about 15 other stocks.
I actually "traded" something today... sold a long-held muni bond fund. Exciting times here!.

It is not often one finds these To-DaMoon rocketships so early in their flight (a measly $400B market cap - lotta room to runn yett).
What a gem!!
My favorite cold-calling pennystock broker gave me this incredible stock tip. He says it will make me rich(er). I think I should trust him. He seems like a nice enough young fella on the phone.
Pennybroker making sales pitch to one of his cold call clients - recommending purchase of a To-DaMoon pennystock that he says is a shure thing 20-bagger, minimum. He will tell me when to sell so I can gett ~OUTT on topp. He said I should follow a ''hold-until-revoked'' strategy. Sounds OK to me.
I drank the Kool Aid the cold-call broker provided. It was some kinda fruity punch I think ... in the gut
Used car and pennystock broker Emil shared some highly confidential info on the stock with me ... and just with me ... because he said he wants to earn my trust
Perhaps we could introduce Pumpyanskiy to Penny Flippen, who was recently sued by the SEC.
"On a previous Mathematical Investor blog, we presented data on actively managed versus passive fund performance over various time horizons, based on the February 2019 Morningstar Active-Passive Barometer report. These data showed, for instance, that only 12.6% of actively managed U.S. large value funds outperformed a comparable passive index fund over a 3-year horizon, and only 8.3% did so over a 10-year horizon. Other data from this report showed that actively managed funds with the highest fee structure uniformly underperformed those with a low fee."
Think of the outperformance of index funds over a human lifetime!!!
"We should add that if anything, the above results are optimistic for the actively managed funds, because of the well-known survivorship bias phenomenon. Note that the funds listed as “successful” in the chart above are those that both survived and outperformed over the period in question. Presumably almost all of the funds that did not survive had below-par performance."

One of my favorite Carlin witticisms.....
"Tell people they're better off in index funds..."
See "Active mutual funds underperform passive funds, again"
https://mathinvestor.org/2022/03/active-mutual-funds-underperform-passive-funds-again/
"Tell people there's an invisible man in the sky who created the universe and the vast majority will believe you. Tell them the paint is wet, and they have to touch it to be sure."

This guy has a name suitable for a pennystock CEO:
''Dmitry Pumpyanskiy “for operating or having operated in the financial services sector of the Russian Federation economy.” The U.K., European Union and New Zealand have also designated him. Pumpyanskiy has ties to the yacht “Axioma,” which is now being identified as blocked property.''

Stock Dilution Scam:
A share dilution scam happens when a company, typically traded in unregulated markets such as the OTC Bulletin Board and the Pink Sheets, repeatedly issues a massive amount of shares into the market for no reason, considerably devaluing share prices until they become almost worthless, causing huge losses to shareholders. Then, after share prices are at or near the minimum price a stock can trade and the share float has increased to an unsustainable level, those fraudulent companies tend to reverse split and continue repeating the same scheme.
Pump and Dump Schemes:
"Pump and dump" schemes, also known as "hype and dump manipulation," involve the touting of a company's stock (typically microcap companies) through false and misleading statements to the marketplace. After pumping the stock, fraudsters make huge profits by selling their cheap stock into the market.
Pump and dump schemes often occur on the Internet where it is common to see messages posted that urge readers to buy a stock quickly or to sell before the price goes down, or a telemarketer will call using the same sort of pitch. Often the promoters will claim to have "inside" information about an impending development or to use an "infallible" combination of economic and stock market data to pick stocks. In reality, they may be company insiders or paid promoters who stand to gain by selling their shares after the stock price is "pumped" up by the buying frenzy they create. Once these fraudsters "dump" their shares and stop hyping the stock, the price typically falls, and investors lose their money.
http://www.sec.gov/answers/pumpdump.htm
The key is understanding
The key is understanding that pink sheet stocks are not investments - 99% of them will lose value over the long run and never accomplish most of their forward looking pumping statements they put in press releases or on their websites. Never believe the hype - always be skeptical of everything you hear.
The people mostly making money with pink sheet stocks are promoters, front loading pumpers with big followings they can dump on, crooks, some of the flippers, and sometimes the very lucky.
Pumpers only tell you to buy stocks that they already own. Pumpers only tell you to hold stocks because they want to make sure you hold longer than them.
They make money by pumping the stock and getting other people to buy then dumping their shares on the followers.
If you really want to take the risk of trying to make money trading pink sheet companies then you have to understand how the game works and never ever hold long term - take profits when you can. Pump and Dumps dominate the IHUB forums.
Trading pink sheet stocks is a sick game full of lies and deceit where people take advantage of the inexperienced and naive stealing away their life savings for their own personal gains.
Very little respect or morals exist in stinky pinky land.
