[100lbStriper]

that stuff goes so deep you know the gov is involved. back in the 60's they busted a ship in san fran, not sure but it was the west coast. 6billion in heroin seized, made headline news, tv and every paper. it was huge for the time even huger in today money for one shipment. it got highly publicized. next day you never heard about it again. looked the story up on google just now cant find it. my numbers may be off a bit but it was the biggest seizure in this country..

i dont want shit to do with the hard stuff been there done that. was just curiuos about the availibility of pressed afghan keef in france.

Lots of drugs come into the country by the small port 20 miles from here.

One time, maybe 2-3 years ago, there were 1kilo packs of cocaine washing up on the beach maybe 30 miles from here.

The theory, at the time, was that it was being transported by a submarine from South America and the sub imploded.

Maybe, or maybe it was on a ship that got tipped off that customs was waiting for it and they ditched everything.

8-10 would make for a long drive, to quote a line from a movie, ''dont ya just hate cops....no, no, i just like it a lot better when there not around''. great movie.......

[Wayne R]

Marseille is a 1 hour flight or 8-10 hour drive, trains I'm not sure if there is anything direct from here which equals don't take the train.

I've never been and have no intention of going.

The cops, I found it strange too. They didn't seem excessively concerned, so maybe it was just a stolen bicycle

[100lbStriper]

ok that part I made up) the weed ? usually if cops got names they know what address there looking for, sounds like you got caught up in a they have nothing better to do day. just goin through the motions thing. and yes very thoughtfuly so, i hope the girls are ok for sure, i dont like ugly stuff like that.

on a side note, how far are you from marseille ? just out of curiousity, here say of course, how easily do afghan goodies come through france', its a lot closer to you than me and it is the best in the world.

[Wayne R]

I'm taking out the garbage this morning and I see the Gendarmes (the cops) rolling down the street at about 5 miles an hour.

So I'm thinking that it is probably the new security that the government promised 10 years ago and is finally being delivered, just checking out the neighborhood.

So they pass by my house, I'm finishing a smoke, they come back and park in front of my house. (good thing I ditched the weed in the garbage can when I first saw them a hundred yards down the road acting suspicious ok that part I made up)

Anyway, they ask me if I know Isabel (mother) and Alicia (teenage daughter). They are trying to find their house. They have no other information to work on.

I told them no, but they can forget the other side of the street,they are older people with sons and daughters but no grandchildren that might be teenagers.

It was right about that time that I realized that I fit into the category, damn, I'm not 35 anymore.....

So I described the occupants as best I could all down the street,none really fit what they were looking for.

Then I asked them if they were sure it was rue du beau soleil and not ZAC du beau soleil, or Lieu dit Beau Soleil.

They weren't sure. It's all in the same area but widened their search to several hundred houses instead of 30.

I just hope the 2 girls are fine

[SSP]

I did indeed!

You saw today's news right? 😏

"Exciting that STM is moving quicker than expected towards production... Our customer can now manufacture wafers with MST on their own which should speed development and shorten the time to mass production and Atomera royalties..."

I like Dan Carlson's (TW_Research) take:

" ...from the PR, "{STM} was able to complete installation of our technology and independently validate MST film quality just weeks after receiving our recipe." Sounds like that is progressing quicker than planned. Also this, "should speed development and shorten the time to mass production and Atomera royalties.”

If you had modeled in them exceeding the tail end of timeline guidance, you might think they are right on schedule.

From my perspective, it doesn't really matter. What is important is to get STM into production and they are executing on this. If/when the next JDA inks, I expect the stock to really take off .

When Giuliani was mayor? Absolutely yes…

Today? Absolutely not…

[100lbStriper]

i'll take manhattan !!! lol !!!

[100lbStriper]

so they can do the same thing they did to them ! no more concrete jungle, a teepee on every corner, wall street can move to vegas, and they could put a head dress of feathers on the statue of liberty !!! or at the very least make the state pay them back rent on the property. but your right, i wouldnt want nyc either. but i would liquidate my holdings if i had any !!!

lets not get to carried away here ! the conspiracy crew may read this and bombard the board with real stuff and i wouldnt like being the cause of that !!! lol !!!

[Wayne R]

Do you really want New York?

[jobynimble]

My paternal grandmother, God rest her soul, was 25% native Cherokee, should I be expecting reparations?

[Wayne R]

If I was a native American, (entirely possible some blood runs in me), why the fuck would I want the city of New York? More trouble than it's worth.

[100lbStriper]

saw another one on a hooded pullover sweat shirt online that i would definitely wear. had an emblem of an american indian on it with the caption around it in a circle saying, ''so how do you like the immigrants now'' i think that is so spot on, it was like word up man !!! the other one i saw in person out the otherday or so. you know what the indians should do, check this out and run a media campaign, they should offer the state of new york all their beads back at an inflation adjusted rate of course, say high end, 50 tractor trailor loads of the stuff and say we're buying our property back. lol !!! lets get WOKE baby !!!!!!! big round moon mak'm heap'm crazy, pull one armed bandit, lose all wamp'm......... get friggin ortez alphabet or whatever her name is as a mouth piece !!! lets do this right and start the new year off !!!!! ok i'm done.........

[Theo]

Naw, more distinguished and sexier to the ladies....

Well, there IS that... lol

[Wayne R]

Ax damn, sexist comment.

The ladies are now considered handsome and sexy in their own right.

aw hell, whatever, it has all been fun and will continue to be.

[Wayne R]

I guess it's just kinda depressing/melancholy to acknowledge we "old timers" are getting older-

Naw, more distinguished and sexier to the ladies....

[Theo]

I hated to see this ((#msg-173566163) but I totally get the reason why. People need to move on with their lives. Still, I really enjoyed getting my morning's first glimpse of the market/business news and then periodically obtaining updates throughout the day.

I guess it's just kinda depressing/melancholy to acknowledge we "old timers" are getting older- and seeing this board ($Stock*Shop*Charts*News*Option$) close is just another reminder...

Helps "splain today's profit taking and algos running rampant.

It just doesn't seem right that we should have to try and trade against Algos, I mean they are programed by people any one think they are programed
fairly?

[Theo]

"CNBC's Bob Pisani is letting readers know that closing the year at a historic high is a fairly rare event it has only happened eight times since 1926, and only four times since 1963, according to S&P Global."

Helps "splain today's profit taking and algos running rampant...🙄

[Buckey]

seems like a lot for a stock that was talking CH11 not so long ago. Thats about $3 Million cash to be distributed so I guess not that much as 26 Million shares out I think.

[gdog]

good question

[Buckey]

ONCR issuing a final distribution of 13 cents was 1.3 cents - ON daily list today hit .13 now .08 I wonder aloud was the distibution a Typo by a decimal point?

[gdog]

Well i'll be I never new that but sure is an awesome thing to do. Have you noticed that here in America now if you want something you just break in and take it.
USA is in a huge decline under this adminastration. mho

[AKAPAK]

Maybe they have already and said it best to ignore us :)

Good to see you again. The Pit is getting lonely.

[AKAPAK]

Didn't think of those, here are the more traditional:

https://www.britannica.com/topic/Boxing-Day

With my mother being Welsh, we looked it as giving to the ones that couldn't give for Xmas

[Watcher31]

When do they come visit from there?

[gdog]

You mean boxing as in boxing your short position or boxing up you Christmas gifts to take back? :+)

[AKAPAK]

And a Boxing Day for the unfortunate as well

Merry Christmas my fellow traders/investors!

[SSP]

Merry Christmas!

[Theo]

Merry Christmas my fellow traders/investors!

Holiday Break: While many holiday traditions involve feasts of turkey, soba noodles, latkes or Pan de Pascua, this year, the European Southern Observatory (ESO) is bringing you a holiday chicken. The so-called Running Chicken Nebula

Wishing everyone Happy Holidays

I've been watching for a very long time.

The CEO gifts himself shares for a job well done just before most reverse splits and his shares are immune from the reverse splits.

And he no longer owns most of those shares. A very small percentage.

He usually has almost no interest in owning stock in his company, why should anyone else want to buy it?

[ottoman]

yep. not buying. Just interested in watching for an epic crash.🧨

[Wayne R]

MULN is crap, trade it if you want, but I'd stay clear.

[ottoman]

MULN up 19,000% lol. Well, actually they did a 1-100 reverse split, but it has also exploded upward. It was trading in the $7 range this morning. Now $15s. It will probably come out with an offering tomorrow and tank 80% lol

[Buckey]

SONX double in a week. Nice heads up
