  1. Their is always going to be a risk associated to investing. It doesn't matter if you are investing in future commodities, precious medals, stocks, currency or bonds there is always going to be some kind of risk. Timing a market is always going to be something that you have to do no matter what you are investing in. For Bitcoins if you invested say last year and you are comfortable with your gains that you have received so far I would definitely cash in right now. Yes the price could go higher but it can also go much much much lower than what you originally invested for. The biggest mistake most investors make is always waiting on an investment to turn it around when it starts to fall. It may turn it around but you might be looking at 10-15 years in the future for an investment to turn itself around to get back to the value you once had. Basically what you need to do is set a point at where you will be happy with your return on investment. So say you invested in Amazon lets say 5-years ago at about $250 for 1-share of stock in Amazon. Now today Amazon is selling at about $1150 per share. At any point that an investment grows to where you are happy with the return you should be selling or at least putting a stop limit order in. Lets say you put in a stop limit order today for Amazon at $1000 and that is where you are comfortable in taking your gains from this purchase. This will allow to keep the stock but if it does fall you can limit your losses. Now Bitcoin you can't really do this as there is no stop limit order you can put in. You have to watch the market carefully and plan carefully for it. If you got into something like Bitcoin and you already have gains that you are comfortable with you should definitely be looking at the risk factors and then determining if you should sell or not. If you are comfortable with taking on the risk of your investment disappearing then keep on holding onto those Bitcoins but if you are not comfortable with the risk definitely cash out now.
  2. Domingo is not really all that replaceable right now on the roster. Beyond Shaw Santana is the only player on the Brewers that you can expect to have an all star like season next year. Removing Santana and replacing him with Phillips or Brinson leaves a void in the offense. The replacement for Santana is far less than who Archer is replacing. Basically replacing Santana with Archer gets you an above average rotation but your offense now goes down to below average. I don't see the Brewers winning many games without Santana in the lineup. The Brewers offense without Santana is not all that great but without him it is just horrible.
  3. Why do you want us to lose 90 games?
  4. Makes sense since Stanton has informed the Giants he will not waive his no-trade clause for them. There isn't anyone beyond Bumgarner I would want from the Giants for Santana. I still think Broxton makes more sense for the Giants in CF.
  5. Sound card driver needs to be updated for your motherboard. If you have HP Dell or any other major brand go to their website and search for your model and go to drivers. You should find the sound card drivers there.
  6. I don't think they were targeting those guys, but I disagree with that. With this signing, and depending on the per year payout, the Cubs will be roughly $140 million payroll for 2018. Plenty of room left under the luxury tax threshold for Arrieta/Lynn plus a closer, bullpen arm, backup catcher and backup CF. The Cubs have about $40m left on their budget. That means they have to sign a closer at a maximum of $15m a year, another bullpen piece at about $8m a year and a backup catcher at about $2m a year. That leaves the Cubs about $15m for another starting pitcher and I don't believe that gets them Arrietta or Lynn. It would get them Cobb or any other starter on the market but not Lynn or Arrietta.
  7. I think this puts the Cubs out of the running for Arrietta and Lynn. The Cubs still need to get a bullpen piece or two which would put them at their budget limit or very close.
  8. Jordan has a player option for next year at $22.5 I believe it is.
  9. Peralta wasn't even with the team when Yost was here so not sure what your point is here. Well he was in the minors in 2008 but I doubt Yost even knew who he was in 2008.
  10. As long as Deadpool doesn't become PG-13. Definitely this!
  11. I don't know about better team as the Badgers defense early in the game completely forgot how to tackle. The Ohio State offensive line though played 10 times better than the Badgers offensive line. The Badgers defensive line was just horrible no push at all and it was like they just move back 3-4 yards on every run play and on pass plays they didn't even break the line of scrimmage. The defensive line just played horribly though I am not surprised by that I am not even sure some of the defensive lineman would even be D3 starters.
  12. Still no push at all from the defensive line.
  13. Not sure if that will do anything. The offensive line is getting beat both in the running game and the passing game. Davis is the only WR that has done anything. Taylor is getting killed because of no push by the offensive line. Fumagali has been shut down. Not sure what changing the QB will do here.
  14. Well the offense looks like they have given up.
  15. He wouldn't be all that bad if he would actually set his feet before throwing the ball. It is why when he throws it is always floating and sailing on his throws.
  16. No push at all by the defensive line it's like they are just standing around. No chance at winning this game if the defense doesn't step it up here.
  17. Is the defense going to show up at some point this game?
  18. There is no way the Blue Jays accept that deal. It just doesn't make any sense for them to trade Stroman for Santana. If the Blue Jays are going to be trading Stroman they are going to want players with more control than Santana.
  19. IMHO Oregano's has the best pizza in Phoenix. http://oreganos.com/ Also Cold Beer and Cheeseburgers is pretty good. https://www.coldbeers.com/ As someone else also said Top Golf is fun but you want to go during the day as it is only $25 before noon and it goes up after that I believe $35 until 5pm and anything after 5pm is $45 plus the one time Top Golf membership fee of $5 (pays for the club rental). If you go before noon you can get in rather quickly the wait time is usually only about 30 minutes at most during the day anytime after 3pm and you will be waiting about 1 hour to 1.5 hours to play. Sedona is nice if you want to do the scenic stuff they have all kind of different tours think the Wisconsin Dells type tours. So if you are not in that great of shape you can take a Jeep tour where they will take you through Sedona and then go offroad. Also around Phoenix there are a lot of ATV rentals if you want to go riding out in the desert. Also if you want to drive to Vegas it is do able but it is about a 4 hour ride and sometimes you can find a cheap flight out to Vegas. If you want to do some skiing or snowboarding you can go up to Flagstaff and visit snowbowl though sometimes it is not open during spring training as it depends on how much snow is left up there. They are normally open until about April I think last year they were open for a very long time as there was a lot of snow more than usual.
  20. ..... which is why I would expect him not to play all that much. His ability to make plays and be elusive with his legs is the main benefit he brings to the table. 6 Days after surgery, it's safe to expect that to hinder his game. Yeah if Barrett is not able to run and is the starting QB I really like the Badgers chances of winning. A gimped Barrett against this Badgers defense is going to be brutal for him. I don't believe Barrett can beat the Badgers with his arm.
  21. The Yankees are definitely being juiced up in this one. I just don't see a 90+ win team for the Yankees next year and they definitely over achieved like the Brewers did this year. I am not sure why the Yankees are getting the benefit of the doubt that this is their true talent. I don't see Judge repeating what he did this year and there will be some regression coming from him. The Yankees do have some young talent coming through and they are basically unknowns on what they will do. Other than Tanaka and Severino the Yankees rotation looks to be about average next year. The bullpen for the Yankees looks rather good but with the Yankees not looking to spend all that much this off season to stay under the luxury tax why are they being put as a 90+ win team? The Yankees as they are currently put together look to be a 80 win team. The Yankees had a rather large home and road split in winning games I don't expect the Yankees to win 51-games at home again next year. They may add some more wins on the road but they are definitely not making up that much ground. The Yankees were 51-30 at home and only 40-41 on the road. I just don't see the Yankees repeating that again I think something more realistic is 45-35 at home and 43-39 on the road giving the Yankees 88 wins which I am more comfortable giving that projection for the Yankees than the 93.5 wins that they are giving them. I just don't see how the Yankees currently pre hot stove are a 93.5 win team they are just not at that level. Case in point the D-backs had a similar year to the Yankees yet they are knocked down to an 84.3 win team? What? These teams are nearly identical and both are due some major regressions next year. This article is just horrible and feels like they tweaked the numbers to get them to say what they wanted them to say.
  22. Loser of Big10 title game is toast. Buckeyes with 3 loses or Badgers with lack of resume.. I'm taking nothing for granted regarding the game winner.. Hoping the committee puts in the Big10 champ regardless of who it is.. I don't believe there has ever been a no change in top 4 between the FINAL 2 weeks.. Committee always seems to tinker (either due to a loss or ripple effect of another game)... I think the committee will do what they did last year and reward a 1-loss team like Alabama over Ohio State. I don't believe Ohio State has a chance at making the playoffs anymore maybe if TCU wins over Oklahoma they could get in as the Big Ten Champs but I still doubt that. I think Ohio State is going to get the Penn State treatment from last year and miss the playoffs if they win the Big Ten championship game.
  23. Loyalty is for fools especially in the corporate world. It is very common for people to jump from job to job in the corporate world especially for people under the senior level management. For the banking industry if you want to get paid but don't want to climb the corporate ladder jumping from one bank to the next is actually a very good move financially. For example the current company I work for if I want a real raise I will need to leave and then come back otherwise just moving up is a "lateral move" according to HR. So no pay increase and if you do get a pay increase it is less than what they would pay someone outside of the bank. So where does loyalty get you in corporate America? The answer is absolutely no where.
  24. I think Otani is either going to sign with the Rangers or the Mariners.
  25. If Barrett is still having issues with his knee I could see them starting Haskins or at least going to Haskins if they start to get behind and Barrett isn't all that successful running the ball. If the Badgers can contain the running game for Ohio State and Barrett is playing at QB I am fairly confident they win that game. I don't think Barrett can be that QB who can hit guys on the outside where the Badgers are weak. Over the middle I think the Badgers are able to cause a lot of problems and will win the turnover game because of that. Hornibrook has been smart lately with the football it is just that he has been late and he has been staring down his targets. Taylor I agree needs to start protecting the football more the fumbles have become worrisome but I think that is something he has been working on and I am confident he will be able to perform come next week. The defense kind of scares me especially if they are not able to generate a pass rush against Ohio State. The only positive it looks like is that Ohio State is looking a little banged up in the offensive line. The Badgers also need one of their WR to step up and make some plays otherwise Ohio State is just going to stack the line of scrimmage and that is going to be the end of the game unless Taylor is able to run against that. Hopefully we see some more play action though the offensive line hasn't looked all that good when they have gone to that as Hornibrook has had little to no time to throw the ball when the Badgers have ran play action.
