If you go by wRC+ he was 59th this year, 23rd last year, 46th in 2015 and and 48th in 2014. If you go by wOBA he was 45th in 2014, 50th in 2015, 29th in 2016 and 58th in 2017. One year out of four in the top 30 and all of a sudden he's a top 30 offensive player? Sorry, top 30 player....if you go by total WAR. He's good at defense. -
I'd don't know how Rule 5/40 man plays into this....any chance the Brewers would have cut ties with one of these guys in the next year or two anyway?
-
Right now Yelich is a top 30 offensive player with potential upside. I think people are really underrating him.
-
Happy Birthday!
-
Wonder if Brewers will get any rookie level lottery tickets in addition to Yelich?
-
Well now we wait....take one last look at the prospect list. Ain't gonna look the same tomorrow.

One interesting thing that bitcoin can potentially do is "program" where the money can be spent. So if you send aid to a third world nation, for example, the money can only be targeted for medicine and supplies and cannot be used to buy a missile launcher.

Bitcoin down almost 40% from high water mark....that only took a week. I don't have the stomach for those peaks and valleys...play money at best for me if I ever get into it.

Reddit thread on bitcoin. The first commenter was so savage in his response that the original poster removed his post.

Yeah, I just don't see this ending well for Joe Investor: 1,000 people own 40% of the bitcoin market https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-12-08/the-bitcoin-whales-1-000-people-who-own-40-percent-of-the-market

This is from the Coinbase website: For supported countries and payment methods, you can sell or "cash out" your bitcoin for your local currency and have the proceeds deposited in your linked bank account or local currency wallet.

Futures market for bitcoin kicks off next week. Guessing there will be a TON of short activity. And random non-financial friends on Facebook are starting to post about bitcoin. That's when you know it's time to cut and run.

My GF bought me a membership to the Music Box here in Chicago for my birthday. Looking forward to seeing The Disaster Artist when it opens in December.

This bull market is insane. Seems that right about the time everyone starts talking about when it will end is about the time it will end. So any day now?

Dunkirk was great. Loved it. See it at an IMAX theater if you can.

Any city south of the Mason Dixon doesn't deserve a hockey team.

Blackhawks are on fire.

From what I've read they are a good hedge against inflation. And many people feel that we are headed to higher inflation based on what the current administration is proposing.

Do you have a pension? Just curious.

I would do that math on that before committing to paying off the student loans. If your company is matching your 401K and your student loan interest rate is low, then over the long haul you end up with more money investing in your 401K (assuming it beats the interest on the student loan). I'm in the same boat and found an online calculator to help figure it out. https://studentloanhero.com/calculators/student-loan-payoff-vs-invest-calculator/

I switched all my retirement accounts to index funds. Fees are way cheaper and over time you do exactly the same as trying to beat the market.

If you can get into real estate now or are already in it then yes. If the Fed does increase the interest rates to where they should be rental properties will be even better as there will be less and less people who will be able to afford to buy a house. If you are going into real estate to flip houses I would hold back until there is more information about what the Fed is going to do in terms of interest rates. Having less buyers if the interest rates do go up will put a hurt on home sales but rentals should see an increase. Yes, I did not mean flipping houses. Fixed interest rate borrowing. Can also invest in a REIT if you can't buy real estate.

Given the expected rise in inflation, real estate is a good place to be.
