GEV broke $400 today. How is the chart looking? :)

Some news that may push the rally even higher:

U.S. utilities team up to accelerate deployment of GE Vernova’s BWRX-300 small modular reactor | GE Vernova News

WILMINGTON, NC (January 17, 2025) - GE Vernova’s nuclear business, GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH), today announced that it is part of a coalition of utility companies and supply chain partners that are collaborating to accelerate the deployment of the BWRX-300 small modular reactor (SMR) in the...

Breaking new ground, don't know. Looks like it consolidated for a couple months and bounced off the 50DMA and is making another move. It is overbought but last time it was like this it stayed that way for about a couple months before it went into that consolidation for the next couple months. I don't know what to say lol. Let it run and use a trailing stop on some of it or all of it, depending on your tolerance. It's crazy to think this one time albatross around the neck of GE (GE Power) is what it is now haha. I thought it would be a solid company after the spinoff but nothing close to this.

Man, that's a sad story... Articles are a good read for those that may have a problem with nil and the state of athletics currently..Vitale was coach at east Rutherford found this cason guy playing little league baseball in Passaic at 12. Moves his family to east Rutherford, amazing for a family from Passaic. Trains him, and by the time he gets to highschool he starts all 4 years wasn't going to class and was partying..it's no ones fault but his own for the way his life turned out. But let's not act like being a STUDENT athlete was a priority before nil.

Agree to disagree. I don’t see this great defense. I didn’t think he was particularly effective on d yesterday. Burned on threes and switches. And Simpson never got this benefit of the doubt as last year it was nonstop Simpson bashing and JMike could do no wrong. There’s an active Derkack must be benched string. Is there a JMike must be benched string? Asking for a friend?

Ohio St's run game is mediocre (66th) and ND has #2 pass defense that plays mostly man coverage.
If the Ohio that beat Oregon shows-up then they are the best team.
But I like ND's chances
Having a head coach that played for Ohio St takes some of the edge off the Ohio St. mystique for ND
Freeman is also a good guy with some serendipity working for him - and everybody likes him.
He's so much better than that spittle monster Kelly

I'm indifferent to them and pretty much everyone, except for the SEC nonsense this year, but I've seen 2-3 articles with the topic of "is ND likeable now" lol

I'm guessing they'll play the same prevent defense Michigan and Texas used and keep everything in front of them. I don't think OSU needs to run. They're best when they throw the ball. When Day tried to prove himself and be "tough" like Michigan is when they lost their way imo. Be who you are and do what you do best. They were on the verge of beating an extremely good UGA team in the semis, the year UGA destroyed TCU. OSU was a very good passing team. Howard isn't as good as Stroud but point still stands and he was good against Tenn and Oregon, came back to earth against Texas.

To me they should pass to open up the run and that includes throw to the RBs out of the backfield, to flats, screens, wheel routes etc...I think they should have used that more in the Texas game instead of throwing to the TE. They're potential home run backs, worst case you can move the chains and best case maybe break one. If the defense is going to concentrate so much on Smith and the WRs make them pay with RBs but in the pass game, not just the run game. I think PSU should've done the same with their RBs. I think Allar made some ill advised throws versus taking some easy ones.

People talk about efficiency as if it’s this weird advanced stat no one understands when it’s literally just points scored and allowed but scaled to be per possession instead of per minute.

You can’t “lose with gaudy efficiency stats” that’s not a thing. People should really have an understanding of something if they want to criticize it.

The challenge is using efficiency across just a single game as if it's meaningful. That runs into the same problem as other single-game metrics, which is that the numbers are too small. It was 64 possessions. Some people are even taking this down to specific 5-minute spans in a game!

In a given game, any number of factors can result in a lot of variance. The player who gets hot and hits a ton of threes in the face of stiff defense. The game we bungle several wide open layups. The tight whistle game where an opponent was hot from the FT line, or where we went ice cold. The game where their star player was out or missed most of the game due to health/foul trouble. Etc.

Over the course of a season, the variance smooths itself out.

Looking only at a single game, defensive efficiency doesn't necessarily speak to how good or bad the defense was - you can give up a lot of points in a game where you've played great defense if the other team gets hot, and you can hold a team to fewer points than their average in a game where you've played poor defense if the other team is cold. Over 30 games in a season, those factors smooth out.

As Pike says, sometimes the shots fall, and sometimes they don't. If you take more good shots, you'd expect more of them to fall - but that's not always the case in the microcosm of a single game. And if you force more bad shots, you'd expect more of them to miss - but that's not always the case in a single game,e ither.

I like Lee is going for widespread 2-4 rather than biting on the gfs

Prescott for the win. County seat. It feels like Jersey because there is a Home Depot, a Lowes, a full shopping mall, and a cool downtown called Whiskey Row. Beautiful hiking and plenty of water spots for hot weather recreation. In Sedona, if you have been there long enough, you can duck the tourists (hell, we are tourists I suppose) and stay out of the touristy areas. Kind of like living at the Jersey Shore.

I drove through Prescott for the first time when I took the long way to Phoenix (not entirely on purpose : ) last year. Will have to stay and check it out longer next time.

Yeah, tourists don't need to be a dealbreaker. I lived in Steamboat Springs, CO for a while and got a bit down on people with no real connection to the place coming through and treating it like people with no real connection to the place. Plus, the constant up and down of busy and deserted seasons.

On the other hand, it's inherently nice to be somewhere that draws in vacationers from around the world. Fun to think, "Their vacation is my everyday."
