I don’t think you understand how options work. Buying corresponding puts and calls is the surest way to guarantee you don’t make money.

But Boeing never tanked. Was down 1.5% at its lowpoint, which lasted for a few minutes and finished higher on the day.

Even when I agree with your thesis 100%, I get angered and annoyed by your horribly over-written, too-clever-by-half writing style. Less is more, Billy. Less is more.

They attend different schools, so her principal didn’t have to worry about the impact of the report on the football team. How sad is it that I just wrote that and it’s probably accurate.

I think that song was ruined by it’s lyrics. They could replace the definition of maudlin in the dictionary with those lyrics.

That’s fair. I also think universal threw HP parks together on the cheap - especially Hogwarts and Hogsmeade, which are kind of crappy. I would have loved to see what Disney could have done with the license.

13 million kids play youth soccer in the United States. Fewer than 1/10 of 1 percent of those kids play on Academy or elite club teams. There’s probably an equally small percentage of those players who will ever get close to being in the national team system. So why did it make sense to fuck with 99.99% of soccer

He’s always been incredibly generous with his time and his money helping a lot of unfortunate people.

How does Dan Hedaya not get any billing whatsoever?

Other than Randy Johnson in 2001, Micky Policy in 1968, Bob Gibson in 1967, Lew Burdette in 1957.

Do you guys draw straws for who has to write the, “here’s why the thing everyone likes is bad,” post?

Well, it is squeezed between the Manhattan neighborhoods Chelsea & Clinton, so it makes sense.

To be hone, I think his comment is spot on. Look at that nose. It’s hideous.

I see the possible explanations for the first sentence of this post:

Shouldn’t opening during a recession make it easier to come up with some BS metric that shows positive economic impact?
