I should have included social media which I think is unsocial media. As a whole I see no redeeming qualities in FB anymore, Tictok, Snap chat, YT except for sports videos and I'm sure I missed a few.

Tic Tok is the most annoying since the videos are blurred out on both sides?

Hopefully you ain't sticking around for this one. If you need anything afterwards send me a PM. I doubt you'll be able to find some basics there.

That should be a sticky
SEC Encourages Investors to Choose Their Information Sources Wisely During World Investor Week
Getting information from trusted sources can help protect investors from scammers

I just explained that. Why take investment advice from anonymous message board posters? Yeah I know I did it too.

I think it's the allure of the penny stocks and how much you can make on the return.

I admit I was bitten by the bug when I bought PCBM and it took $1K in losses to wise up. I drank cheap beer for a year after that and never looked back.

As far as investment advice Peter Lynch from Magellan fame is #1 on my list. Buy what you know.

#2 is Bill Gross the Bond King saved me in 2008.

Penny stocks is simply gambling and usually the House wins.

I added your post as a sticky.

Thanks.

The same happens to me. I read my Favorites in batch mode till I get to the end. But when I click on my mail folder one or 2 will appear that I missed.

Mute the TV and listen to the radio broadcast.

My point was whether they are 12 or 35 when they have their melt downs its time to yank them.

I don't care what age they are; when a pitcher starts to melt down the only solution is to pull him. Yesterday the problem was the Yankee bats went cold as well.

Padres and Dodgers can agree on one thing: This rivalry is real

Every Division Series tied at 1? That's a first!

No team won 100+ games this year and now they are all tied up in the playoffs. There is parity in baseball this year.

Rodon strikes out 7 in 3 and 2/3 innings then it all falls apart.

Time to move on.

I agree but I won't allow for a poster to accuse me of something I'm not.

This thread should have died after my first response.

In 2023 he would have been out with inches to spare. But MLB expanded the bases from 15 inches to 17.

The Astros are #1 on my list. Pats were #1 and now it is Chiefs. Any team that Lebron plays on. In hockey any team that beats the Rangers.

From the video watch the player scoring the winning runs with his oven mitts on.

Castellanos brought his son to the game. How do you compete against that?

LOL. My Favorites said there were 31 posts to read. And only 2 showed up. Sorry about MI.

Key Points
Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., chided some of the false conspiracy theories that have surfaced surrounding the Hurricane Helene recovery efforts in western North Carolina.
His comments come days after North Carolina state senator Kevin Corbin penned a Facebook post asking people to stop the “conspiracy theory junk.”
Tillis also said that for now, the state has enough resources for its recovery efforts but will need more.

Here is her post to Vex who is vexxing at times.

Wake up. The strike is over. But then we've always known you live in another galaxy.

Port strikes end with deal on wages, averting economic disaster

https://www.npr.org/2024/10/03/nx-s1-5139450/dockworkers-port-strike-deal

https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=175185524

As I posted in response the strike is not over but delayed. Janice did not post that now did she? And went on to say Vex lives in another galaxy.

If you read her link both sides have agreed to extend the existing contract to Jan 15th while they continue to work on issues involving a new contract.

From her link.....

The two sides have agreed to a 62% wage increase over six years, according to sources who were familiar with the deal but not authorized to speak publicly about it. The union had been seeking a 77% increase over six years. A day before the strike began, the companies had offered nearly 50% in raises.

The parties have also agreed to extend the existing contract until Jan. 15, 2025.

Sorry but Janice's post was factually incorrect and her pride and hubris just won't admit it.

The union isn't stupid since this will be their busy season and they don't want their workers out during Xmas. We'll have to wait to see if management caves to the union demands come January.

Sorry but I won't be bullied by Janice over an error in what she posted to Vex.

You just don't quit do you.

So MLB cut a deal with Strauss to market their brand for the playoffs and put their logo on the teams batting helmets.

Let the boycotts begin.

On the other steal yesterday how long does the fielder have to hold the ball to consider it a catch and tag out.

Senga is hardly a starter. He pitched in 1 game all year. Yesterday he pitched 2 innings and the Mets used 5 pitchers. That qualifies as a BP game.

Spin it anyway you want. Mets got the win.

Yankees stole one with Jazz being called safe. Not sure the ump had a good line of sight on the base.

It wasn't pretty considering we had our ace on the mound.

If you noticed the Mets pitched a bullpen game.

Are you dense? Your post said one thing and your link said something else.

Now for your assignment go back and read your post. I didn't need to click on your link since I read about the strike in the news.

As you say Christ on a crutch.

Hmmmm!

Now now.

Funny I never thought about that with the impending strike. At least now I won't have to worry until next year.

I don't need to be reminded of what Yogi said since I'm a Yankee fan. The strike is not over and Janice implying it was; was not correct. It is simply delayed. What use does it do to say a strike is over then come back and say well the link explains it. Then say so. Life is not this frigging complicated.

And the same goes for you. I'm not clicking on your links if you can't explain your self in plain English.

I posted this elsewhere to someone who is blaming FEMA.

Your post said it was over. That was incorrect.

Don't hold your breath.

And getting OLD really sucks.

There are worse things than getting old. You need to get out more, get yourself a hobby and maybe get some more mice. Didn't you use to have them?

Volunteer somewhere, or hand out literature for your favorite candidate on election day. You're only a couple of years older than me and I don't feel old and it certainly doesn't suck. I play golf 3-4 times a week and still mow the lawn.

Did you have your flu shot and covid shot yet.
