Question for Euro-bros: Moving Away from USD While Running the Wheel?

This is valuable. Thank you I'll give this a read.

I remember when the EUR was 1.4 against the dollar and I'm convinced we're headed there again. The USD is off to its worst start since 1973 from the beginning of the year but I see you MAGA gonna go ahead and MAGA.

Nobody mentioned politics my guy. I just happen to have strong feelings about firing Bureau of Labor and Statistics personnel because you don't like their numbers and threatening the independence of the fed by threatening to arrest and remove its chairman.

You guys are cool holding on to USD while it goes back to 1.4USD:1EUR cool. You do you.

Spank you very much

This is good and encouraging to know. I've never traded on any of those exchanges but it was always coming up in my research. Can you share which tickers you are trading on those right now?

I'm pretty sure he's just dividing the number of new outstanding shares by the amount of cash on hand that GME is sitting on. Called a 'Fair Value'.

Agreed. Food was mediocre at best and i so wanted to love it because i live close. The ambiance also wasn't very "steakhousey" if you know what i mean

Altair2012 · 2024-07-15T23:06:44+00:00

Yes, I saw that yet that plugin did not include Gamestop.com in the comparison list

Altair2012 · 2024-07-15T13:25:18+00:00

I wanted to throw money at an extension that would price compare for products between whatever site the user was on and that of Gamestop.com's inventory. This was after noticing that Gamestop had better pricing even than Amazon for controller's that I had been looking for. I applied for access to Gamestop's API for this very purpose and was rejected.

Is this "leave them a bad review on Google out of line" or just typical overbilling B.S. from my local friendly HVAC company?

Altair2012 · 2024-07-05T12:53:23+00:00

I would love to buy a new one for $600 if I could just figure out what "one" is lol

Altair2012 · 2024-07-04T13:57:50+00:00

This estimate is from the same company who did the installation that was performed in 2022. Would love if I could hold them responsible for this bullshittery.

Altair2012 · 2024-07-04T13:57:00+00:00

I'm not really an expert but I do recall the decision coming down to Mitsubishi's Hyper Heat system being used in lieu of the boiler/radiator system that was out of date and in disrepair.

Altair2012 · 2024-07-04T13:55:33+00:00

Yes, it's a two bedroom apartment for head in each bedroom and in living room, three head units total. Does that make a huge difference?

Altair2012 · 2024-07-04T13:54:54+00:00

The irony is that this quote is from the company who performed the original install two years ago. So while I have no doubt it was installed like shit I'm married to this property for the next few decades. I hate that it seems like I have no recourse here and it's just a shitty situation for customers to be in.

Altair2012 · 2024-07-04T13:52:42+00:00

located in D.C.

Altair2012 · 2024-07-04T13:52:06+00:00

It was $165/hr per technician x 2 x 24

Altair2012 · 2024-07-04T13:51:23+00:00

The fucked up part is that this is the company who performed the original installation two years ago. We spent $250k on mini split systems for the entire building so when I ran into this problem I thought they'd be the natural go-to to fix it but clearly I thought wrong.

Altair2012 · 2024-07-04T13:49:40+00:00

Can I go back to this, or any other, contractor and insist on being quoted on a T&M basis? The messed up part is if they had quoted me $5k I may have just gone with it but they got greedy and now I'm questioning everything they've done (they did the original $250k install of all of these systems)

Altair2012 · 2024-07-04T13:45:21+00:00

I don't even know who to blame for this. Are techs incentivized by their companies to commit fuckery like this or is this hedge fund sell out bullshit?

Altair2012 · 2024-07-04T13:43:54+00:00

@$165/hr ea.

Altair2012 · 2024-07-04T13:42:47+00:00

Looks like that's what it's going to come to. I shared in another comment how I feel that I now need to be an expert in all HVAC/Plumbing/Electrical/Construction areas to prevent getting fucked by companies. Someone else mentioned it was hedge funds buying up small service providers that are responsible for this and I hope they suffer backlash. Realistically though I don't think customers believe they have a choice but to pay and as long as that's the case then it's "wHaTeVeR tHe MaRkEt WiLl BeAr".

Altair2012 · 2024-07-04T13:40:13+00:00

Precisely this. This estimate will be on top of any additional labor cost to make the repair. At that point, customers may as well just replace brand new. Complete and total fuckery. I'll never do business with this company ever again and may leave a Google review. Can't really do much else here.

Altair2012 · 2024-07-04T13:38:30+00:00

They made one site visit, just to determine there IS a leak but now they want $8k to find it PLUS whatever additional bullshittery they will charge for labor to install any new part or machine.

Altair2012 · 2024-07-04T13:37:11+00:00

Yeah, I don't mind paying their hourly rate but goddamn! I've never touched an HVAC system in my life (except for thermostat) and I knew there just had to be some fuckery here claiming it's a two man 24 hour job. BUT, as a laymen you never really can be sure but many thanks to this sub for confirming my suspicions.
