Added 1000 ODP at $6.85. It's been hammered after rumors the takeover by SPLS isn't going to be approved. From what I know, that's all it is, rumors. I think this goes through.

 
Was shopping for an item, and the only place I could find one that seemed decent was there. The online price is less than the in-store price. No problem. I'll do an online order with an in-store pickup. It's available in my local store, after all. No option on the site for that. So I call them.

Just had this conversation:

"I'm sorry, sir. You can't do that."
"But I can have it delivered to the store, to be picked up in 4-7 days?"
"Yes"
"But it's already there. You don't need to deliver it. I can just go pick it up."
"I'm sorry, sir. You can't do that."
"If I go into the store, can they match the price that's online?"
"That's at the store's discretion, but they usually don't do that."
"So, if I want it today, I can pay more in the store or I can go somewhere else. Or I can wait a week to receive it, buy it from you FOR LESS MONEY. AND it's going to cost you more money to sell it to me because you're going to ship it. Somewhere it already resides. That's insane."
"I'm sorry, sir, but if you order it online you're ordering from the warehouse rather than from a store."

WTF year did I wake up in today? There's a reason these people can't make money.

 
I'm having flashbacks to two Sundays ago in the Monte Carlo pub, waiting for kickoff of the early games. It's all you can drink, but a somewhat limited bar.

Me: "I want a vodka-champagne."

Her: "I don't think we can do that. You can have mimosa, bloody mary, screwdriver, beer..."

Foos: "You have vodka for bloody marys and champagne for mimosas. You can make a vodka-champagne."

Her: "Let me ask bartender."
*comes back*

"We can't do that. You can have mimosa, bloody mary, screwdriver..."

Me: "Fine. I want a mimosa and a screwdriver. Mix them together. Hold the orange juice."

I could actually see the light bulb turn on over her head at that point. WTF people?

That kind of makes sense but I can understand your frustration. They may be ordering the same shirt from different suppliers so it the cost could vary dramatically.

It's the same standard price both places. There's a 20% off coupon that's online only. And I get the idea behind that, too. But you're not saving money sans b&m location. You're actually using your b&m location. Just in a horribly idiotic way.

We were at Lake of the Ozarks about 15 years ago with a bunch of people. My GB was the sales manager at Tan-Tar-A and hooked us up with free rooms. Great time. On Sunday we went out to eat lunch and I was about to die after drinking a fifth of tequilla the day before. There were 12 of us sitting at a big table, all couples, everybody ordered their food and I was last.

Waitress: And what would you like?

Me: Just give me a grilled cheese please. No fries or anything else.

Waitress: I can't do that, it's on the kid's menu.

Me: Oh. Well, charge me whatever, There's 11 other people here, I'm obviously not trying to just get a cheap meal.

Waitress: Sorry, can't do it.

Me: :headexplode:

My friends: :lmao:

Me: Okay, give me a cheeseburger. Put the burger on the side, in the trash, I don't care what you do with it. I want two slices of bread with some cheese. Charge me $20, I.DON'T CARE.

Waitress. SIR! I CAN'T DO THAT!!

Me: Okay, fine. Pulled two hundred bucks out of my clip, threw it on the table in front of her to pay for lunch for everybody else. My GB's are about falling out their chairs laughing at this point, gave my keys to my wife and we left. Went to McDonald's and they made me a grilled cheese.

People suck.

 
@UCO "I can't quit you"

I'm now in for way too much to mention here...

and that will just about do it for me there.

A year from now, I'll either be buying us a trip to Vegas on me or setting up a gofundme page that you ####s better donate too.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is when you ask to speak to the manager :lol:

Awesome.

 
Ugly day...

Marketwatch is funny (big bold headline):

NASDAQ SKID COMPLETES THE DEATH CROSS GRAND SLAM!

And a quote from the article:

Not sure WTF is going on today, but I consoled myself and bought some MMP. No way it's worth 6% less today than last week. Smells like panic/forced selling.

 
SIff - You posted notice of a possible S&P of 1800 a month ago (and warning if that is broken we could be in big trouble)... Curious what the charts are saying right now and what levels of support you see as most important strictly from a technical standpoint?

Long term charts suggest we're early in a new major trend - and historically these things last a lot longer than 2 months. Meaning charts suggest a deeper drop over the many months ahead.

Now I don't know the future more than a gypsy. And it is always possible that the market overcomes what the chart is suggesting. But since May all we're had is lower highs and lower lows. And that's all a trend is...what is the price of the market doing in general - rising or falling? You don't need a weatherman to tell the wind has been blowing south.

There will be a lot of bounces along the way too. Very difficult to navigate a bear market.

I said for a long time - you want to be bullish in a bull market and bearish/hedged in a bear market and the wherewithal know which is which. This most recent bull market re-conditioned most investors to just buy. And my investing perspective isn't popular because it's so difficult to act on in a bear market when you're already hundreds of SP500 points off the high, and you haven't maintained the discipline to the trend.

Think things are on sale and you want to deploy your cash? Great. The best buys are a combination of fundamental analysis combined with technical analysis. FA tells you what to buy and TA tell you when to buy it. And sometimes the best plan is to just sit on your hands and WAIT for that investing plan to come completely together. If you want me to be honest - most people don't use any thought through plan for the convergence of FA and TA. A bull market like a rising tide will raise all stocks (boats). And just because you've scored a lot of winners over 5-6 years in the biggest bull market in history doesn't mean you've been particularly good. (And if I'm honest I need to put myself in that same boat too).

 
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't thinking about buying back in. Gotta wonder what this really does for them going forward. If nothing else, you'd think it bodes well for future states.

 
i hate this market.. couple more down days and I'm going to lose my second comma, and that's bullcrap

Stock was getting ridiculously cheap, IMO. I would have bought more had I any cash. :bag:

This country inches closer and closer to bringing back online poker here along with weed at your local corner store. I, for one, embrace our newfound cultural evolution.

What's wrong with you? You're supposed to be feeling empathy for the guy who is about to only be a nine-hundred-thousandaire.

I think he was implying his losses were going to go from 5 figures to 6 figures. The information supplied doesn't allow us to assume a total portfolio value.

Don't both 5 and 6 figure numbers contain only one comma?
