Sold off some Apple (AAPL) today.

No!
Unless you’re a socialist liberal puppet...err..

If this doesn’t open Grads eyes, nothing ever will.

Grads made money!
Grads likes boats!
Grads knows a guy named Anderson that builds great boats.
Grads can give some of his money to Anderson, and Anderson builds him a bad ass boat.
Grads is happy, he has a bad ass boat.
Anderson is Happy. He got paid to build Grads a bad ass boat.

Anderson’s employees are happy, they made a pay check for weeks, building Grads a bad ass boat.

The suppliers that sell Anderson all the materials to build Grads boat are happy. They sold material and made money, and had a hand in building Grads a bad ass boat.
The state of California is especially happy! Grads bought a bad ass boat that needs to be registered! And that costs a lot! And then there’s luxury tax. That will cost a lot!
And the state is extra happy that Grads voted for those higher taxes, on a bad ass boat!

The end.


That! Is the way our economy works

Dont forget the gas for the truck and the boat. State makes 55 cents a gallon.

You sold some stock?!?! Sweet! Feel free to send me my cut at your convenience. TIA

 

[DaveC]

Pffft what do those guys know.

After all yore wife seems to be doing alright

I've been down that road before and they are a buzz kill. In 2007 I walked into my accountant and money manager and said I wanted to cash in a 401k to buy a boat. They looked at me like I was an asshole....I made a lot of money on that boat....more than that 401k would have..

Believe Cliff Loetz entered boat building as a carpet layer for Bob Leach at Eliminator when they were in Huntington Park. That was a while ago. Cliff may have had his faults. Perhaps his love of designing and building boats far out weighing his business sense was most hurtful to him. Some thought his Caliber 1 - 206 Magnum was the 57 Chevy of boats at the time. It did have classic lines. He always did right by us. When our 16 year old daughter was diagnosed with MS during the build of one of our boats, Cliff and his crew put in extra ordinary OT in order for us to have it sitting in front of our house on Christmas morning, with a big bow with our daughter's name on it. Haven't seen Cliff in many years. Hope he's doing well where ever he is.

Last time I saw Cliff was about 6-7 years ago at the John Force Holiday Car Show in Yorba Linda. He knew John and was helping with parking for the event.

Looking like this was a great decision! I knew it was only a matter of time that the giant cheeto would fuck things up.

Not even remotely true, but thanks for the bump.

The stock market went up under Trump.. it goes down under Trump. This is your logic, not mine. He is your president after all .

Live by the dildo, die by the dildo.

I’m going to go out on a limb, not really, and venture to say I know a little bit more than you do on this subject.

 

[DaveC]

Market goes up market goes down. That’s how it goes. No different than anyone else

It’s not our fault you don’t have a day job to sustain.

Again Thank god for yore wonderful wife

 

[DaveC]

Actually under trump the market has only gone up over the long term

And I venture to say I know a lot more given my day job

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

Because you have all your money in one stock? Sure... you are a genius.

You were about in tears in December and January, remember?

 

[DaveC]

Oh and if yore so damn smart why didn’t you short the stock

 

[GRADS]

[LargeOrangeFont]

[bowtiejunkie]

Same reason he sold before earnings and it went to $220 leaving $12/share on the table...it’s not his stock, it’s his wife’s stock

You cut your quote off short, I think he was saying that he knows more about living and dying by dildos and it would be hard to argue that point.

 

[GRADS]

Down another $10 a share today. Not hating my decision.

Good for you. Making money in the market is always a matter of timing. Do you have a buy back price point or are you just going to take the money and run?

 

[GRADS]

Honestly the point of it was to take the money and run but if it keeps going down I'm not opposed to re-investing it.

Appl isn't my best performing stock but I do figure it's a solid 200 per share value so if it dips a little more I may throw another ten at it.

 

[riverroyal]

I have nothing add. Just like grads doesnt on other threads

Fuck you is all

Me getting sad reading your post...

 

[DaveC]

Yup

Greg is no Oracle that’s for sure

 

[DRIVE BYE]

Grads?

 

[TITTIES AND BEER]

Picked it up for right around $140 earlier this year and unloaded it today for $208.80. Im good with that.

Now what to do with the money? I will say that while out on the boat this weekend the wife mentioned twice that we should consider building a Shockwave Magnatude.

Give it to Mr.Trump and grow some BALLS , just my .02
