Yeah, I'll pick it up when I see it in terminals. Uniform or not, I'm not above a few sharp words to the pet owner when I catch up with them, either. (have yet to hand them the napkin with extra filling telling them "you dropped this" though)


Ummmm.......no......that has never, ever, happened to me either. And I have done a whole 'lotta deadheading over many years.

Again, ummmm...... you are picking up dog s&(! in the terminals?

Have fun with that. I guess. :eek:

All kidding aside, I share a similar viewpoint. I sold my Delta stock a decade ago and invested in oil stocks as a way to reduce my employment risk. It's worked reasonably well until demand for both air travel and oil disappeared overnight.

I am doing great! Could be better of course, just imagine how bad this crisis would be with $100 barrel oil? Remember after 911 when oil spiked...was a quick death for lots of companies.

So true. I was worried oil would spike for some darn reason or another during this.

Oil prices are beginning to recover, so I'm considering doubling down on oil stocks. XOM MACD is trending positive and the Bollinger Bands are opening up. Even if the stock price doesn't move, the 7.43% dividend is attractive.

And the middle class did amazing and had a vast amount of jobs to choose from and a booming portfolio the last 4 years. Better then wr have seen in decades. All without borrowing money

MJ - ETFMJ Alternative Harvest. I'm still down on that investment, even after the post election runup. If you really want to lose some money, come on over to the Side Hustle thread. The money lost on stocks will pale in comparison to what you can flush with a margin account trading options on futures.

Yes, as long as you sold on Christmas Eve. I've been playing with options on that one in the paper trading account.
