Lem the artificially intelligent said...: Costco gas lines are always long lines. And they are made unnecessarily longer by people waiting at the pump for their useless receipts to print out.

Every expenditure at Costco is available via their app on the phone. Every credit card charge is available via the bank app or online.

The only reason to litter up your car with gas receipts, you are never going to use, is so that when you go to the car wash you can gum up the works by trying to suck them up an already clogged vacuum hose by the previous Costco gas member.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...: Via TwitterX : REPORT: After firing investigative reporter Catherine Herridge who was investigating the Hunter Biden laptop story, CBS reportedly seized her belongings.

The network reportedly seized all of her belongings including files, computers and most importantly, information on privileged sources.

"A former CBS manager, who also spoke on condition of anonymity, said that he had 'never heard of anything like this,'" said @JonathanTurley

"He attested to the fact that, in past departures, journalists took all of their files and office contents. Indeed, the company would box up everything from cups to post-its for departing reporters."

"In just the span of 92 short days, Pelosi made ten years' worth of salary through her investment in NVIDIA (NVDA).

Her NVIDIA stock investment soared to a profit of about $1,800,000. Compare that to her annual salary of $175,000 as a political monster."

How is that insider training .... and how have you NOT invested in NVIDIA in the last years? You need a new investment advisor if you have not made serious gains from it in the last 18 months.

When I first watched her say this I thought she couldn't be this stupid. The media has been overlooking Bribe'Em's lies for years, why would she say this now? Because certain segments of the Commie-Pinko party now want him gonzo. I look at her comments as a plus. It's a sign of turmoil.; 2/23/24, 5:21 AM
Rich said...: @ Wendybar:
For those that think Trump is a great businessman:

In 1978, Trump and Warren Buffett's net worth were roughly the same- both estimated at $100 million at that time. Buffett's net worth is now estimated at $131 billion, and Trump's at $2.6 billion. Both The Economist and Washington Post have done studies on Trump's investment performance, and both concluded that he was mediocre at best compared to the stock market and New York real estate market. Had Trump invested in an average mutual fund in 1978, his net worth would be around $10 billion today, rather than the estimated $2.6 billion prior to the recent judgments against him.

The truth is that Donald has been a poor steward of his father's money. I've often said that Trump would end up in prison, bankrupt, and divorced (again). All of the above seem more likely now than ever.; 2/23/24, 5:33 AM

Luck, my friend is where opportunity meets preparation

The ‘Market’ is fundamentally misunderstood, being commonly held to be a giant brain which is never (or rarely) wrong, a sort of deity. This myth is bolstered by the folklore of legends like Buffet and Munger, true investors who use their money and brains to produce predictable earnings and asset growth. If they can’t find anywhere suitable to put their cash they hold onto it until something comes up. But the ‘market’ is driven by other motives. First the pension industry, which takes people’s money every month whether they have anywhere useful to put it or not - but they have to do something with it. This is the equivalent of putting a hundred millionaires in an auction room all bidding for a loaf of bread, the price reached will bear no relation to the production cost or any so-called intrinsic value. Second is the huge and growing amount of ‘spare’ cash held by people who are so rich their biggest problem is how to get rid of their money because they simply can’t spend it all. They aren’t interested in sensible or long term investing like Buffet and Monger, they want quick returns and sexy ‘assets’. And the all-seeing ‘market’ mixes it all up, presenting it as a homogeneous blend of so-called securities, perpetuating the myth that price movements reflect intrinsic value, instead of just short-term supply and demand. So when it all blows up in our faces like it did in 1929, 2001, 2008 etc we all assume something has gone wrong, instead of admitting that things are pretty much designed for that to happen.; 2/23/24, 5:37 AM

Rich

Your estimate of Trump’s net worth of $2.6 Billion apparently comes from a Forbes list from October 2023 which included a value for Mar-a-Lago at $325 million.

What was it that Engoron value it at?

$18 to $28 million.
