        jupiter ascending at $65. I know long term shorts are a bad idea but.... -- nm - the mystifying virtuoso May 20, 12:28 9
        
        funny, i was just looking at this stock. - Andie May 20, 12:33 8
        
        and interstellar at $160 I think would be a safe long term short. -- nm - the mystifying virtuoso May 20, 12:34 7
        
        GFBs alone will drive that higher -- nm - Roger More May 20, 12:45

        yeah, i had 1.7 bill in cash. even after shopping it barely made a dent. -- nm - Andie May 20, 12:21 4
        
        I'm over 3 billion in cash and I still play with some regularity. It's impossible to spend it. -- nm - pmb May 20, 12:26
        
        I have $650m in cash I can't seem to get rid of. -- nm - spamlet May 20, 12:22
