And so the market climbs 1200+pts today. Well ask and I shall not receive.
-
I could use a 1200pt or more session loss. Moved conservative last year in April as it approached All time high. This referring to 401k. Should finally be able to buy back what I moved and more.

Jack's used to have a mexican pizza with a seasoning packet that I ate a lot in my 20s. No longer find that version. It may have been named. My family used to splurge on a pizza place that I believed closed down within last 10 years. I feel like it was around 52nd-70th streets and on or between Hampton and Burleigh? Just monstrous sized pizzas. Loaded in toppings. Anyone know the place Im referring to? Having worked in Sheboygan for 18years now, I think there was a place that became Pit Stop pizza by the movie theatre. The previous place had this amazing taco pizza. It was loaded. I'll take suggestions for mexican/taco pizzas. For me today and its been hit or miss lately I get my fix on Digiornos spicy chicken pizza. Adding my share of mexican chili pepper on top. Stores dont seem to carry this pizza like used to.

Why imagine that lineup with an eye towards 2019 when it could be done right now ? OH, I wish, but Arcia's there. He's rapidly overtaking Jim Gantner as my all-time LEAST favorite Brewer. Same reason - an offensive black hole. When he was demoted his avg was .197/.231/251-.482ops. Change in role, hes at .221/.257/291-548ops now for season. That's some small improvement, but improvement nonetheless. With how he plays defense, he only need a little more from the bat to have added value for the team. Right jow BWar has him at -.3war. Somebody somewhere is going to reach to him and improve his approach. He's young still but a guy out there I believe similar history would be Brandon Crawford. Who has had a spiked year sprinkled in here and there I believe with quite a positive value. Ill have to check, but I feel good stating that for now w/o checking.

Happy that Yelich is exceeding everyone's expectations. Loved him in Miami said he was going to be high quality but, he's done better than even my higher expectations. The trade is win for the Brewers. MVP worthy season. There's nothing more you could ask for to get when trading for the player. Stay on the field the next few years is all that needs to be done even regressing to his avg seasons prior. It was a big cost and Im so surprised the years these 4 had. The pain in losing this potential group lessened quite a lot.

Oh the google and gamestop website listed the Adaptor available for sale. The site then listed only available in stores not via web. At the store the woman told me its been discontinued and no longer in Gamestops warehouses. Then her 100mile instore locator said it wasnt in any of the stores.
-
Google is your friend took 1 minute to find one for 39.99. https://m.gamestop.com/product/accessories/xbox-one-kinect-adapter/132874 I'll try thanks! Not an online purchase item on in-store pickup. Good Luck me as there's 1 store in my city or else it's hour drive to Milwaukee stores. Edit add w/o posting a new. GameStop here and within 100miles(including Milwaukee) no longer carries this adaptor in their warehouses. Looks like I'll be in the market for a used XBox one since will be far cheaper than this adaptor alone.

What a flippin waste of a prized Christmas XBox gift for my daughter and I. The first gaming sytem Ive ever bought happens to be XBox One S. Included (huge selling point for daughter) was a Just Dance game of which you use a Kinect Sensor to play. I get a Kinect. Its plug in is made only for original One and not the S version. Yeah they seriously modified a back of system plug to not fit something that is used to play games with the console! Genius aspect #2, they stopped making this 1 adapter just after Christmas. Which finding out today, with my Kinect awaiting to be plugged in, came with Sold out on Microsoft page. $40 was Their purchase price. So outside sources to acquire this? Ebay for $300! Needs to be a lawsuit made out of this, as at no time buying the XBox Console and including a Game using a Kinect was I warned that I couldnt play this game on my console because impossible to connect a Kinect because of their stupidity to change ability to plug it in. Oh, and cease producing what fixes this problem! At same month this product is being bought for the XMas season.

Taking the overlay posted on Yelich's Spray chart on Fly Balls- In Miami his Home numbers were: .265/.352/.391/.743 7HRs I believe 8 of those fly balls would result in HRs in MP with 2 that were outs in Miami. Changing the home overlay stats to: ..272/.358/.459/ .817 15HRs His Road stats: .299/.385/.484/ .869 11HRs Season total becomes: .286/372/.472/ .844 26HRs about 108runs with 90RBI At Wrigley: .344/.388/.590/.978 career Busch: . .295/.347/.477/ .824 Great American: .180/.236/.280/ .516 PNC: .348/.394 /.621/ 1.016 FWIW.

I'm surprised to see the Stanton actually batted 2nd as often as he did. Yelich stayed at their #3 for the most part. So Yelich actually batted ahead a 37HR Ozuna and Stanton for 35 games. 3 times on base for Stanton's HRs 13 of Ozuna's 37HRs. Get on Base let the HR hitters drive you in. That will be likely depressed with Braun or Cain most likely batting behind him? So he can swing some more for power, over a Contact/OB approach. His natural talent adding over 10HRs to his normal output....Maybe more if he's a Leadoff hitter. The everyday lineup must go Cain/Yelich/Braun/Shaw now right? If you did the l/r split with Yelich/Cain/Shaw/Braun I'm not sure Braun deserves the cleanup after Shaw's better splits with men on and expecially RISP to Braun's last season. Though, in the other regard, wouldn't having your better hitters 123 over 124? No, you do Cain with Yelich for Hit/run situations for a Leadoff hitter who should steal bases more often than Yelich. Braun remains the #3 hitter....I just talked this out to myself writing this so there you have it.

Aww man Not Harrison. Ill have a Fancrush on him throughout his career. Diaz made perfect sense. This trade overall makes an even sense personally. With Miami potential to win it overall. Breathe, but Yelich is special. Theyll say 4WAR for 5 years, but im going 5.5 avg next 5 years. Yelich will win a batting title here 1 year just watch. What an Addition to the lineup!

The old buy when its low in the week or so has finally been paying. An IPO I traded last year successfully was way down. I bought some here and there as it continued down. I was down some 30% in it, but my averafe was lower due to a buy a month earlier. Its climbed back to about half it's IPO and suddenly Im up 50% in my holdings. Merry Christmas me. A lil story as I keep an interest in stock prices on shares Ive sold out on. My dad told me he did this a lot with Kohls for a long time. On the other end of this spectrum, I've got stock at one was maybe $16 andIve gobbled up extra shares every 20-30% its fallen. Its down to $4 for whatever reason turning a profit when it was 16 and not for the yeat befor that. Im confident it will grow and will probably get some more shares as at some point rivals will step in and buyout the company with its value. Schneider is still "trucking" along strong. Wish Id bought more at its ipo.Its had increases on a dividend with it stock rising, so im hanging on vs selling. I may more than double my money by this point next year.
-
Wow, work season and life really put me behind in investing this year. I did buy Schneider around 18 during their IPO. Loving that it's not only up, but paying dividends. An IPO stock I had bought/sold for a 30%+ gain, jumped 100+% recently in one day...but I'm not mad. Another I sold for 30+% gain is down near 90% from their 52 week high. I did buy in long term with the value, Probably 3 times the shares as before but half the cost. Pretty huge 1year ride, so I think I'll win on that down the road. Going to get back in to studying some IPOs as seasonal work ended. Update down the road on progress.

Was supposed to be under the radar movies to see. Being considered one of the best alltime these days isnt of that ilk.

I Love Asian Martial Arts movies. IP Man and The Raid were recent martial art fan goodies.

For the most part, its likely not worth much. And some places likely will reauire you to have more before even doing a transaction. I ran in to that problem Given 20 British Pounds as a tip one day. (1.94) per back then. Lost a lot of value today. I went to a couple banks to exchange it and was told they only change the currency with 50pounds or more. Now this is a popular currency. I cant imagine what amount you need with such an irregular currency. My dad has currency from serving in Vietnam I looked for recently. You can find more info online and try to match with images to find what the currency even is. Id probably check in with a bank, let them lead you to possible place to exchange the currency. Maybe theres a museum somewhere that would take it for display.

Im thinking a lot of mistakes like I made on Canadian $17 vs 12.78 US I clearly am not in this with the first trade pop. Beyond what I look for. Kinda lame, the "Public" offering opened at 18 and today closed just over 16. Now the stock board says up 25% but truthfully its down like 11% ahh, to be rich and buy the true IPO stock offering last night. Would been 40+% gain selling the open MuleSoft priced at $17 from the initial 12-14. And opened for public trading at 24.40. Yep Another one bites the dust for the public. Rich? Another 45% take overnight. I just don't get it on how people buy in at such an initial jump. It's at 25.16 now and that's 3.5% from Open. To get 33% it would have to reach $32.45 Over twice the Initial IPO price offering. Near twice the actual Priced at. Sigh.

Here's how crazy IPOs are at the moment. Ardagh group priced at 19 yesterday. Up to 22.91 at close today +20% Goos that canadian goose jacket company has been priced at $17 opening for trade tomorrow. Original range was a $14-16 and prices essentially +20% already. Likewise Mulesoft probably to be priced tomorrow and open for trade Friday has raised it's offering from 12-14 to 14-16 which low to high is 33% before even opening for trade. We'll see if I can get in for under $18 on Goos and $17-17.50 on Mulesoft which I feel best about. But I'm thinking both will open for trade at 20 or higher immediately leaving me to wait. Just love how the average investor is left to scraps and paying off the rich. edit: Crud, the Goos pricing was in Canadian $$$ so It comes to 12.78 per in US dollar supposedly.

Man the way the market is currently, That idea that Apple is in wave 5 which would mean moving down...That is just tough to believe. I may have stumbled in something like this in regards to my 401k and the dow movements. But man, Since Mid February last year, the Dow hasn't swung down 6percent from it's closing high at any point. On Feb 11 it closed at 15,660. Apr 20 closed 18,076 closed Jun 27 17,140.24 5.5%swing to current high of 21,115 13months~ 34.8% gain from the Dow. Only 1 swing of 5% during that rise. I mean look at that. 5,450 pts. practically non-stop. I thought I had gotten on to something as during my cancer time off I'd looked at the Dow Closing prices and found that on avg there were 3 times a year it swung 7% or more. Why does that matter or is important? Well Get a 5 year graph of the Dow, Your best Small-cap index, Mid-cap index, and Large-cap index. Do a layover the lines I bet don't swing much differently one way or the other. When the Dow tanked in 2008/09 Those funds tanked just as much. And when it returned, just as much. A few may have dropped or risen 5-8% more or less but everything that was a small,mid, or large fell just like the dow. Often the climbs would approach or exceed just slightly, the Dow's previous High. For a couple years til mid-year last year 18,000 was the range it'd climb or barely jump over. But last year after that 18,076 close. The battle lasted 11weeks and July 8 We moved in to the keep above 18,000 mode vs below. And here we are 21,000. I don't think in any of my research the Dow, gained 3,000pts on a previous high level without swinging down 7% or more briefly. There were single days where the Market moved over 1,000pts down and the next regained more than it had lost. So I'm lost as to where this dow is heading. History(since 2000) shows it should have had 3 7% or more corrections since the last time it had such. We're 34% up without that. No pausing. Trump's presidency didn't even bring one occasion. N. Korea's reved up Missile tests haven't created a pause. The Fed raising rates finally(Yellen's fears on the markets needing delays on such) no effects when they did. So just be mindful on shorting anything that just doesn't make sense. I think it was late last year when some article I read the Market's PE was super high than norm, well, it must be another level or even 2 above what that PE was at back when I read that article. At some point we should have a correction and usually that correction will be big when we are talking this kind of PE. So I think you can be a week late when the correction begins, and still make a big profit. Without putting so much risk in an insane market as we have today.

If you're paying down quicker, aren't you saving money because less is added via interest? More goes towards the bottom line, quicker? But I dunno what a student loan looks like only a car loan. So theres that. I do agree with Brew4u on investing in something you may have more knowledge about. I have a nurse friend who told me to invest in something I forgot (brain cancer) but the hospitals she worked at had switched on a product and company they got supplies from. For me it'd be something in the golf industry, a trend or something used new to it. But trial and error. Whatever you do, will have ups and downs. So best advice is dont tie yourself in to one investment. Gotta give yourself something to recover with when the downs happen.
