I was 95% in cash before the crash in 2008 and brought afterward. Cramer actually called it the day before the crash.

Cramer said a lot of things during that time. He said to buy Bear Stearns.

When I saw this in my feed Sunday morning, I thought it was fake. I guess Dallas just didn't feel comfortable giving him the max extension.

If it was just her social media pages that would seem normal. Why were both sisters and parents online footprints completely erased ???

No idea what it means and if it means anything at all but it has caused plenty of people to try and dig up anything to make a name for themselves.

I’ve mentioned them before here. V and MA are favorites of mine. Perfect “financials” for me. No credit risk and just transaction processing. People will use them all the time regardless of economy.

Antitrust issues come up from time to time but it hasn’t been much of an issue to date.

V/MA in the green on this red open. Telcos like T and VZ as well. Utilities mixed to slightly down. UNH in the green pushing up against 550 again and healthcare also mixed to slightly down. META only one on my tech screen in the green.

Personally, I'd be looking to see what might get attractive if this down turn turns into something more. NKE I've been wanting deeper in the 60s but it's held that low 70s support. Maybe CMG will have some pain from he tariffs that might make it a little more reasonable. Possibly some tech names as well. INTC back down to the low end of its recent trading range.

I'm not a fan of buying when things are up up up and think there are more potential opportunities when things are red not just for a day but over some time. To me it's a time to have your antennae up.

No, how many millions can I leave my beneficiaries?

Not as much as if you stayed in the market and bought BTC! :)

Once again, those buyout numbers are not what it would cost to fire Pike. It's worse than you guys realize.

The number to fire Pike is currently around $24M (represents what he's still owed through 2031) and goes down by $4M (his annual salary) per year.

When was Martini a defensive liability?

These numbers just can't conveniently be ignored.

You can't just say Rutgers gives up way fewer points when Martini is in the game...A FACT....and then just say so what.

Sorry against Michigan Martini was impactful.

Yes because 95% of the time I don’t lose money but yes, I might make more leaving it in. My sister leave it in and doesn’t really look at it.

However, if I’m scared of losing money why am I in the stock market? I should put everything in treasuries bonds and CD. I also play poker and won 6 out of the last 7 times I played. Most people that I played at home don’t play at a casino because they found they lose money at casinos.

I think there are people that sense danger and I’m one of them.

You sense danger and pull out of the market literally every week (and miss out on so much). You are way too jittery. Can't live life scared.

NJCU in talks to be bought by Kean or Montclair State.

Had to look that up, never even knew it existed.

Recently Jersey top ranked kids have pretty much underperformed their ranking at the collegiate level for the most part, plus as noted above everybody is chasing NIL, so now you have money and ego involved. if you are going to spend dollars you better be damn sure you are buying performance, its so much easier to grade players who have already played collegiately for 3-4 yrs. Plus you need to reward current players on your two deep to insure they remain, Schiano has done a great job with this difficult balancing with developed players and portal additions and incoming recruits

the buyout makes it relevant
Buyout

• 2023-24: $15 million
• 2024-25: $13 million
• 2025-26: $11 million
• 2026-27: $9 million
• 2027-28: $7 million
• 2028-29: $5 million
• 2029-30: $3 million
• 2030-31: $1 million

Rutgers hates buyouts and usually tries to keep the HC until the end of contract unless they can find a so cause
The 2029-30 season is when, in my opinion, RU will be willing to pony up and dump Pike if the MBB program isn't doing too well

These amounts are not what Rutgers owes Pike if Rutgers fires him. The figures are what Pike owes Rutgers if he leaves.

If Rutgers fires Pike after this season, Rutgers owes Pike $24 million.
