I just got into Ozark on Netflix. I was hooked halfway through episode 1.

Agreed on The Post. Good, not great. I love movies centered around newspapers for some reason. I think Dunkirk is one of those movies that is really best viewed in a theater with incredible sound.....like IMAX. Others I've seen recently (trying to catch up on 2016 Oscar nominees before I tackle 2017): Audition: Japanese horror classic. Dude loses his wife to cancer and his friend decides to hold auditions for a fake movie in order for his buddy to meet women. Moves slowly but the last 30 minutes are like David Lynch meets Eli Roth. Crazy, cringe worthy violence Hush: low budget horror film from a few years ago. Really well done. A deaf, mute woman who lives out in the woods is stalked by a killer. La La Land: Modern day fairytale about making it in show business. I thought it was cute but guessing most guys on this board won't dig it. Manchester By The Sea: Holy depressing, batman. Story about a guy who becomes legal guardian of his 16 year old nephew which might require him to move back to his hometown where, uh, some bad stuff happened to him. Great flick.

I think the property manager part is key. You have to be able to pay them AND make a small net profit every month. Not easy all the time which is why a lot of people self-landlord and that can be a pain unless you are handy and have time to do all the work.

My new company has a very generous retirement plan. dollar for dollar 4% match and a 5% match at the end of the year. So even if all you're doing is putting away 4% you are more or less saving 13% of your income. So I can totally see how someone who started there as a 22 year old could retire at 45 or so just on their 401K assuming they were saving like 18% of their income every check.

Based on futures markets, it looks like another big downturn tomorrow.

Interesting article on what moving to Miller Park might do for Yelich and Cain's power numbers: https://www.mlb.com/news/yelich-cain-should-benefit-from-miller-park/c-265412546 -
There were other teams interested in Yelich. I don't think the Marlins would have been ok with the Brewers saying "Can we just agree on this and not make it official until we trade one of our outfielders?"
-
Not sure if this has been mentioned but Yelich has a pretty big home/road split. For his career he's an 839 OPS away from home and 759 at home. He's 128 wRC+ away and 113 at home.
-
No they don't. Can someone please elaborate? That would help.
-
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?
