Happy NVDA ex-dividend week. Don't spend it all in one place.

I inherited half of my dad's IRA that was managed by a buddy of mine for 20ish years. All his positions were transferred over to me and good god, it's like looking into an investment time machine. Surprised there's no Standard Oil, Amalgamated Steel or Titanic Boat Makers, Inc.

I now have the blended portfolio of a woman turning 103 with tumors for t!ts, an Oldsmobile and an income so fixed it couldn't breed with Octomom.

I get quarterly dividend checks from GE for like $0.12 cents. Not even worth the cost of a stamp. I just toss them.
This is how one ends up on the unclaimed property list of states. I'm sure GE owes me 8 dollars in uncashed checks dating back 15 years.

I've deposited a check for $.01 before
On second thought, it may have been $.03 or $.07
For sure under $.10
If that makes a difference

a friend gave my daughter two shares of Disney stock when she was born. When she was 12 (now 25), overly obsessed with money and managing her own bank account, she found an uncashed dividend check for around $1 and deposited it. Check was like 5 years old. Bank charged her $10 for depositing an expired check. Of course not Disney's fault but she vowed revenge, declared through tears she would someday "steal something from Disney". We still joke about it.

I don't understand, it is often used when it is not the correct choice. It is like chasing quarterly profits. It allows the easy development, but then trying to get your data and/or build reports on it in the future is a pain compared to it's competitors.

Who are the competitors? I'm only a product manager, but this is a core part of tech for building and launching multiple enterprise saas applications.

Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle SQL, PostgreSQL, and MySQL would be the alternatives that I would choose 90% of the time to MongoDB. However if in the nosql world there are a few competitors as well, but going with MongoDB due to popularity would probably make sense over something like Apache CouchDB.
I am a product manager as well and my applications use multiple different database technologies, I even integrate with a MongoDB, however for that app, mongoDB was 100% the wrong choice, and only reason it was chosen was because the developers wanted to pad their resume. They saw that MongoDB was a popular sought after skill and wanted to use it so they could improve their resume.
There were tens of millions invested taking that data and converting it to a SQL format and then hosting the data on other servers.
Still have a chunk of shares. Bought a bunch back in 2019 around $100 and sold a majority when it was over $500 in 2021. Glad to see the price getting back there.

Starting a position in SNOW tomorrow. They report after the bell and likely beat again so might as well get in, just in case they really beat. If it goes the other way on me tomorrow or the coming months, I'll buy more.
Sold on the company/story but after the crazy IPO run-up, and down, I think we've reached a point, years later, that we are cleared for takeoff, long-term. Profit-taking, weak holders, trading, etc have shaken out I have to think, to what degree, we'll see. At least that's what the technicals would imply.
Tell me why you don't like Snowflake, please. And don't be one, I can take it! Thanks.

BTW, a buddy from Bozeman just texted me saying he has no idea where their employees are (it lists Snowflake as based there), lol.
Looking forward to MTskibum's take!

Gods. Forgot SNOW is Snowflake. I was completely shuked as to how that story matched up to ServiceNow, right up until the end.
Better twist than Usual Suspects. Thanks for that.

I moved away 14 years ago at this point. I would move back in a heartbeat, but married a girl from Texas. When we have talked about moving in the past, she doesnt want to move anywhere north of Denver :-(
I have maybe missed a day or two of work in the past to go skiing. It happens.

I'm sticking with it. People aren't going to stop their habits around the holidays. Plus, the breakfast items added to certain locations have added a nice bump to their bottom line. Those breakfast foods will be available to ALL BROS locations in 2026.
Right now, only 2% of BROS sales comes via food. Compare that with 25% via food for SBUX and Dunkin'. That's a lot of upside for BROS to capture.
Moreover, SBUX sees about half of its store orders in the morning daypart compared to 1/3 to BROS, who sees traffic throughout the day - and who is ordering those drinks in the afternoon? Teens who don't get up early and need coffee before work. These are sticky customers and the behavior doesn't appear to be changing. Younger customers have pulled back in recent quarters in the restaurant industry but not at BROS.
Now, they do have competition in the form of 7 Brew and Black Rock coffee and the stock isn't cheap but I see room to run from here. Hit $86 earlier this year which is a silly number, but I don't see why it can't sustain $60 and drift higher from here. Lots to like. I imagine fatigued shoppers who exit the mall and spot a BROS across the road won't hesitate to drop $10 on a NOEXPLODE ENEERGYY DRANK1111!

I can't remember how, but I was able to swoop in and grab some at $385 a few months ago. It was a signal from here but they are also a client and I respect their organization A LOT.
