  1. Today
  2. I found one in our swoop pond when I finally had enough and drained it. Couldn't know for sure whose it was, given that GoPros were lost regularly before clamp downs happened, but with editing software I was able to determine the owner whom I contacted to come to the DZ and retrieve it. What they didn't enjoy was watching the footage of an insane low turn that they only survived because a hero pulled them unconscious from the water before they drowned.
  3. My Euro denominated investments serve a purpose. I actually don't have any real understanding of the relationships. But I do have them and they are underperforming the Biden economy without question.
  4. I steer away from investing in Canadian companies. I like Canadian bonds, but give me the the best growth overall which has been the USA for a long time now.
  5. Hmmm.. Where did you get that MBA? Liberty University? It is an article of understanding in business that you might need to allow your debt to outpace income as you gain share and presence in the market. In our case, it's a global market. In my case, because the US economy is roaring, my dollar denominated investments are doing well, my euro investments are doing poorly. Go figure.
  6. Sure, but don't most of those have enough unencumbered liquidity to make the loan easy? I'm thinking that Trump Tower isn't a juicy cross collateralization asset, nor any of his other properties.
  7. As long as inflation outpaces GDP growth, there is nothing to brag about
  8. For tongue and cheek, I'll throw out Leaving on Jet Plane by John Denver.... But as far as what music he listened to, it was a little tougher than I thought. I was trying to figure out what music he was listening to as he was coming of age. For me, I think I was set in my musical ways or taste by my late 20s. If he was born roughly between 1920 and 1930, that puts him in his mid late 20s roughly between 1945 to 1955ish time frame. So that kind of spans a dramatic shift in music from the end of the big band and crooner era into the early rock and roll era. In the end, I am going to go with the style of music that was more popular when he was younger man. I think I can kind of see him listening to some "Old Blue Eyes"....I'm going with Sinatra. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised at all if before he left for "the job", he dropped the needle on a little "My Way" ! He certainly did this job his way.... By the way, this is all in good fun, I know he was a criminal and I don't mean to romanticize him like a hero or something. Maybe some day we will find out just who he was !!!
  9. This is one of the many reasons why he shouldn’t be President, but there’s no shortage of people who don’t give a shit. I ditched FB a while ago, but there’s no shortage of LinkedIn posts from my oil and gas contacts who are full-on mainlining the KoolAid.
  10. Yesterday
  11. Anybody who has ever had to get a security clearance knows that large debts are a disqualifier. Having a president who is known to only care about his wealth needing a lot of money should be seen as a large national security risk.
  12. Meal team six drills are fun. IPSC and IDPA matches are fun.
  13. The loan tends to be pretty standard for most private banking or wealth management customers as a percentage of their net worth.
  14. Been there at a seriously lower level and not only is it easy the rates are great. Even if he has $400 Million that could easily be the floor of what his current lenders require for liquidity. There is still a week to go, that his lawyers have been begging for lower amounts or just an IOU for three weeks tells it all: he is broke.
  15. Supreme Court Chief Justice Denies Ex-Trump Aide Peter Navarro's Bid to Stave off Prison Sentence Awwww...the poor little lackey must face the consequences of his own actions.
  16. Even if they are in the form of investments (stocks, bonds, equity funds etc.) the bank will always give you a loan against them. It's zero risk free money for them. They get interest, and if you default, they sell your investments to recoup their costs.
  17. As any MBA can tell you, any two coinciding events, at any point in time, is invariably predictive of the future.
  18. Well, Trump claimed to have something like $400 million 'cash in the bank'. And even without that sort of cash, if he was a REAL 'rich man', he'd be able to get a loan or bond of some sort. But he's NOT RICH. He's mortgaged to the hilt, doesn't really own much of what has his name on it and is pretty much a fraud in ALL ASPECTS. No bank will loan him money. Nobody will do business with him anymore (except maybe the Russians). The saddest part of all of this is that as the courts seize his assets, the amount they will be able to recoup after selling the stuff off and paying the creditors will be pretty damned small. The only upside to this is that bankruptcy won't help him. Court settlements aren't dischargeable in a bankruptcy. Those debts will follow him to the grave.
  19. It’s just a simple matter of supply and demand. Rental companies are liquidating their inventory at the same time demand is drying up. The result is a plunge in value.
  20. I disagree. Ironically more sophisticated voters understand that a very wealthy person doesn't necessarily have liquid assets and I suspect they would be more empathetic towards Trump. Whereas Trump base (even Habba his lawyer) don't understand the nuances and think he's got cash in the bank. Those same people do understand how bonds work though and that the money gets given back if he wins. Regardless it will be interesting to see. I've only seen one Vote Trump flag here in rural Georgia in the last week, I expected a lot more.
  21. Right wingers when prices are high: "No one will ever spend that much money on these overpriced go-karts! They are worthless!" Right wingers when prices are low: "See? They are not worth anything. They are worthless!"

  23. Price drop? How about price collapse?
  24. Now, Donald Trump is claiming that he can't make the 464 million dollar bond in his civil fraud case. Don't be fooled. It's not that Donald Trump doesn't have the money. He doesn't have enough OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY!
