  - MrsJax will forever hold ROKU over me, since she said to buy 100 shares and just hold them. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 9, 11:44
- ROKU was only a *great* investment starting about March of last year, FWIW. -- nm - Reagen Feb 9, 11:37
- Oh lawds -- nm - Pippy Feb 9, 11:32
Looks like I might have missed my opportunity to sell BEPC, it’s down to about a 12% premium over BEP. -- (edited) - znufrii Feb 9, 11:25

Password change day! (aka how long does it take spam to overcome muscle memory) -- nm - spamlet Feb 9, 10:54 10
- I choose to think that Muscle Memory is the name of the IT person who's making you change your password. :) -- nm - con_carne Feb 9, 11:25
- rotate the last number in it, you can get through 1 through 9 before you get into the password history again. -- nm - colin Feb 9, 11:12 2
  - But I would still type the wrong thing. -- nm - spamlet Feb 9, 11:20 1
    - you only have to remember one number instead of the whole thing.. like remembering to write the correct year after Jan 1. -- nm - colin Feb 9, 11:24
- Out with the old sticky note, in with the new sticky note. -- nm - Fozzie Baron Feb 9, 11:00 4

Heh. I don't have Roku in my practice portfolio, but I do have Bell Media. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 9, 10:39 5
- The very definition of a sideways stock. -- nm - Reagen Feb 9, 10:47
- (I mention this because Bell is being *utterly and completely cutthroat* this week. Hundreds of employees fired. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 9, 10:40 3
  - possibly into the thousands ... -- (link) - Beryllium Feb 9, 10:46 2
    - They just canceled an entire radio station? WTF? - Mop Feb 9, 10:53 1
      - (In the article it says what their new formats are) -- nm - Reagen Feb 9, 11:12
Tax forms can be available before March? - ty97 Feb 9, 10:31 2
- Oh, then you’re only suspended not fired. -- nm - spamlet Feb 9, 10:45 1
  - Haha! Ever since Scottrade several years back sent me a corrected 1099 a couple of days after I submitted my taxes *in March* I just wait now. - ty97 Feb 9, 10:46
It's not time yet but I'd love to know when to jump off the pot stock ride so I don't fuck it up like 2018. -- nm - Reagen Feb 9, 10:25 18
- you don't want your stocks to go up in smoke? -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 9, 10:51
- I still have a pot stock from back in 2018. 2 years for 10% profit! Haha. -- nm - Inigo Feb 9, 10:39
- get in a ETF... they're watching it... i got into one that's already up from 41 to 53 in the past week. - colin Feb 9, 10:30 10
  - Oh I'm mostly holding an ETF. But it's still going to have a peak. -- nm - Reagen Feb 9, 10:30 9
    - true, and then another peak, and then another... -- nm - colin Feb 9, 10:37 8
      - It’s going to be a low-margin recreational commodity sooner rather than later. Once it’s legal I don’t see an awful lot of room for industry growth. -- (edited) - znufrii Feb 9, 10:42 7
        
        there's a black market that can mess with that though... CA is losing a lot to black market sales because of high prices. -- nm - colin Feb 9, 10:44 6
        
        The lesson from here is that this stuff will take about a year to settle out. - Reagen Feb 9, 10:46 5
        
        yep. i mean, i think it's an okay time to buy weed stocks for long term holding, but short term trading on it is going to be weird. -- nm - colin Feb 9, 10:47 4
        
        Long term I see it being like tobacco: heavily regulated, stable low growth, relatively high yield. -- nm - znufrii Feb 9, 10:54 3
        
        yup. i'm also hoping there is a lot of opportunity for "craft" growers to get in.. i feel like there will be a lot of similarities with craft beer. - colin Feb 9, 10:59 2
        
        Yes. Very similar to that, I think. -- (edited) - znufrii Feb 9, 11:00 1
        
        i'd like to see better vape controls... there's been some sketchy stuff going on with that. legalization will make it so much better and safer. -- nm - colin Feb 9, 11:08
- I give it roughly a month after legalization here, once the euphoria rubs off but before people realize how vulnerable the industry is to a glut. -- nm - znufrii Feb 9, 10:28 3
  - That's about how it worked here. I held too long after legalization here and got stuck having to hold until now. -- nm - Reagen Feb 9, 10:31 2
    - Yeah, I got in at almost exactly the wrong time, too. -- nm - znufrii Feb 9, 10:34 1
      - One month is almost exactly right. Legalization aug 2018, high water mark sep 2018 - Reagen Feb 9, 10:42
- A week before you actually do. -- nm - Dano Feb 9, 10:28
i'm seeing footage in what they're playing at the impeachment remarks that i never saw. there's some incredibly violent stuff, a lot of slurs. -- nm - colin Feb 9, 10:22

Disney is closing Ice Age production company Blue Sky Studios, with 450 employees losing their jobs as a result. -- (link) - budice Feb 9, 10:16 2
- Blue Sky is mostly Ice Age, but also Rio. They were pretty big earners for Fox. But it didn't make sense for Disney to have yet another animation studio. -- nm* - Mop Feb 9, 10:18 1
  - Particularly one that was always so sucky. (NM) - Marlowe Feb 9, 10:34
“Yeeeah! When I first saw you, defeating the Gummi King’s gluten-powered armada in the darkness of space, I knew you were no ordinary pegasus!” -- nm* - znufrii Feb 9, 10:14

  - this is nice in dark. -- (link) - amanda jeans Feb 9, 10:31
  - my room's really dark. (I am preshopping for the arrival of my table!!!) -- nm - amanda jeans Feb 9, 10:16

  - Euclid, from Lampson to Chapman. -- nm - Meg Feb 9, 10:17
- make sure to write your initials in it -- nm - decline Feb 9, 10:05 3
  - You should write someone else's initials so you have deniability. -- nm - Fozzie Baron Feb 9, 10:24 1

Less than a month to leave their homes. Third Ward Houston continues to push towards gentrification. - Qale Feb 9, 09:40 3
- how is it legal to give people that little notice?? -- nm - Andie Feb 9, 09:50 2
  - Mentioned within the article is a bit of commentary about verbal contracts and month-to-month leases. I imagine it’s not legal overall. - Qale Feb 9, 09:56
  - Texas! -- nm - decline Feb 9, 09:54
ugg, looked at the forecast for the next week. a high of 1f is predicted. - tRuMaN Feb 9, 09:38 3

I'd have to see the comparison with a water tower or reservoir concept for that storage battery. Seems like those would be simpler. -- nm - Reagen Feb 9, 08:53 3
- A reservoir system is very landscape dependent, I’d guess the smaller footprint probably makes this a lot more versatile. -- (edited) - znufrii Feb 9, 08:58 2
  - I was thinking that as it lowers a large block it could simultaneously lift a smaller block. - Volnelk Feb 9, 09:28 1
