Likely whoever termed it "The Sport of Kings" had horses for sale.
Everything about horses is in decline, including riding them for recreation. .I remember when all the fancy private girls schools taught riding. No longer. Very dangerous activity. Olympic-type equestrian events have been widely criticized.
"In the 2016 Olympics, less than 5% of equestrian athletes suffered injuries, putting it toward the bottom of the risky list - well behind badminton and handball. But when accidents happen with a 1,200-pound animal galloping, weaving, and jumping more than 20 miles per hour, they can lead to permanent injury or death.
"Any mistake can be extremely dangerous for both the rider and the horse," Dr. Kathleen Davenport the director of Physiatry HSS Florida who works with dancers, told Insider. "These athletes are pushing themselves to their limit together, with often new courses to navigate, and in a high stakes environment."

Right. Owning a racehorse or fractional share in one is even dumber than investing in a penny stock. I suspect the math is getting worse all the time with inflation and declining race attendance.

Hey, it isn't called the Sport of Kings because it's an affordable hobby.
If you're not one of the stock experts here and you ask about a ticker you'll be considered a pumper.
No. His horses run on US tracks. Many are low claiming races.
In fact from the published earning and the annual cost estimates he is losing his shirt on his hobby!
Initial price is only part of the ownership cost. Owners must foot the bills for housing, feeding, and training of their horses, plus expenses for things like veterinarians and race entry fees. Figure the need to pony up $60,000 or more annually if you're the owner of a racehorse.

"Combined with other recent acquisition targets, Amazon could wind up with a comprehensive look at what’s happening inside people’s homes. "
If true, that's creepy. Alexa's bad enough. And who wants her refrigerator gossiping with the other neighborhood appliances?
I'm hoping that comment was written with tongue firmly in cheek...
Conventional car tracking tech. Follow the flames and ambulances. From LA yesterday
You can not stop anyone from doing that with a license plate reader.
I meant inflation instead of interest*
How is that inaccurate? Are you referring to Roombas or license plate readers?
That is funny as hell...and in no way accurate.
Okay, so here’s my first attempt at real research without talking about the OTC. I think the S&P 500 can hit $350/$320. Here’s why:
• We have had 2 consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth.
• We are officially in a recession.
• Interest is at 9.1%
The S&P is rallying . . . For no reason. It will soon come back to reality with one negative catalyst.
Thoughts?
(Not financial advice)
Thanks for the feedback, JMoneyHoops! I need to follow you on twitter.
"Danger of License Plate Readers"
"Currently, nine states have almost entirely banned abortion, and more are expected to follow suit. Many Republican lawmakers in these states are discussing the possibility of preventing people from traveling across state lines to obtain an abortion. If such plans are enacted and withstand legal scrutiny, one of the key technologies that could be deployed to track people trying to cross state lines is automated license plate readers (ALPRs). They’re employed heavily by police forces across the US, but they’re also used by private actors."
"The police have access to not only license plate data collected by their own ALPRs but also data gathered by private companies. Firms like Flock Safety and Motorola Solutions have their own networks of ALPRs that are mounted to the vehicles of private companies and organizations they work with, such as car repossession outfits. Flock, for instance, claims it’s collecting license plate data in roughly 1,500 cities and can capture data from over a billion vehicles every month."

That’s the most idiotic idea I’ve seen concerning OTC.
Roomba "Deal Would Give Amazon Maps Inside... Homes"
"Why is the Roomba company worth $1.7 billion to Amazon? It’s not the dust, it’s the data."
"AFTER DECADES OF creating war machines and home cleaning appliances, iRobot agreed to be acquired by Amazon for $1.7 billion, according to a joint statement by the two companies. If the deal goes through, it would give Amazon access to yet another wellspring of personal data: interior maps of Roomba owners’ homes."
"Combined with other recent acquisition targets, Amazon could wind up with a comprehensive look at what’s happening inside people’s homes. "

"Berkshire reports operating earnings surge, but posts big investment loss amid market rout"
"Berkshire Hathaway’s operating profits jumped in the second quarter despite fears of slowing growth, but Warren Buffett’s conglomerate was not immune to the overall market turmoil.
The conglomerate’s operating earnings — which encompass profits made from the myriad of businesses owned by the conglomerate like insurance, railroads and utilities — totaled $9.283 billion in the second quarter of 2022, Berkshire reported Saturday morning. It marked a 38.8% increase from the same quarter a year ago."
"The conglomerate’s Class A stock fell more than 22% in the second quarter, and it’s now down nearly 20% from an all-time high reached March 28. Still, Berkshire’s stock is outperforming the S&P 500 significantly, down 2,5% versus the equity benchmark’s 13% loss year to date."
"The conglomerate showed a massive cash hoard of $105.4 billion at the end of June even though the giant has been more active in deal-making and picking stocks."
"The “Oracle of Omaha” has been steadily adding to his Occidental Petroleum stake since March, giving Berkshire a 19.4% Occidental stake worth about $10.9 billion. Occidental has been the best-performing stock in the S&P 500 this year, more than doubling in price on the back of surging oil prices."

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."

OTC is the best place to get generational wealth just gotta play each stock properly
People tend to forget about that. Corn, potatoes, and of course tomatoes are New World foods. Peppers, too, but oddly enough, not eggplants.
We owe an enormous debt to Columbus. Food must have been pretty boring in the Eastern Hemisphere, Asia, and Australia before the 16th century.
And a quick read of Apicius will bear that out.
Malignant euro-centrism on display.
So digg this. Last week I was reading some article about the Dark Ages Europe. It appeared to be a well-written, almost scholarly, piece. And then I ran across the mention of CORN as a food in Europe during the Dark Ages. I was under the bleef that corn (and potatoes and tomatoes) came to Europe from the Americas (the New Whirled) after 1492 (well after the Dark Ages), so I did some DuckDuckGoing to find that I am correct and this evidently learned author was dispensing nonsense.
Malignant euro-centrism on display.
Ahhh, I see. So it could also be used to make cornflour. And masa harina.
But my favorite fresh corn is of course sweet corn.
It is the dried kernals removed from the cob mechanically.
When I was a Kidd, I used a hand-cranked corn sheller to make shelled corn from stored field corn onna cob (from bins or cribs) to use as part of a feed mix for piggies. Every ... freakin ... day. Do you have any idea what a barn on a pig farm smells like on a hott summer day??? The smell of pig shit is about one of the worst ag smells I know of in Norte Americano. And it getts into your clothes and skin. An hour long swim afterwards will cool ya off, butt the smell lingers. You need to gett a long hot soapy shower and that is still imperfect.
Dairy smells better (Smell Our Dairy Air!) butt then you hafta deal with the prep and cleanup of the milking parlour and equipment twice a day. The win is growing corn solely for ethanol. Animal husbandry is a chore-and-a-haff. Fun butt messy and smelly, butt animules are funny sumtines.
I wonder what that beer tastes like. I thought their favorite was airag, a fermented mare's milk. Also known as kumis, apparently.
Damn I'd love to slake my thirst with THAT in this hellish weather!

It's one of the few alcoholic beverages in the world that's also a potent source of vitamins and minerals.
They're forgetting about eggnog.
You'll also be interested to know that in Mongolia, dairy is called "white food".
And I'll bet you haven't had any barbecued boodog in a while:
Boodog (Mongolian Barbeque)
Commonly used in marmot and coat involves removing the bones( and bowels from the skinned carcass through the neck red hot stones are put inside the carcass closed and the neck opening. Then the carcass is barbecued. The meat roasted this way is tender tasty and fragrant. ) innards of the animal, whilst leaving the meat bones and skin intact, then placing red hot stones inside the body of the animal to cook the meat sometimes inside the boodog may you make vegetables and some pepper and salt. If you bring hot stones it will be good for relaxing also health.

Desafortunado, GEORGE SHARP was forced to cancel his Urumqi show due to Uighur protests that closed the airport and the Turpan Coliseum and Malt Shoppe.

Max cap = 1300 bu butt weight limits on local bridges keep it to 1050 bu in practice - about 58,000 pounds for shelled corn - plus add weight of empty trailer and tractor to that (tare weight)

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.
