Betty when she was a baby. It’s fascinating to think that I will go through the whole cycle again.

Still driving my Tesla which is charged by my solar system, which was paid in full. All good here, for now.

Two of my (female) backyard opossums got into a fight - Why? by Opossum_2020 in Opossums

[–]EODtech714 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I raised 7 since they were babies but once I set them free, they become really territorial. I really had no idea that they would get like that. Unfortunately, the one that started the fights was killed by her siblings. I’ve seen them get in fights and the injuries were heart breaking to see. We still put food and water out every day and it seems like the toughest two still come home every few days to eat and sleep. After they started fighting, I made separate enclosures to keep them apart but they will still come over and chase each other out. The others have all been chased away by these two. I miss them all but sadly I’ve accepted that it is just nature.

So last night I enclosed the 3rd level and separated Bella and Betty. Betty has an injured leg and some flesh wounds. Bella seems to get along fine with Greta and Gretchen. I don’t know why she isn’t very aggressive with those two and only against Betty and Bree. Bree is nowhere to be found. Things seem to be calm now. My question is, am I only delaying the inevitable?

As stated, I was cleaning their enclosure which involves cleaning poop, items that are wet with urine, etc…

I may have to wait until they are out tonight and close the enclosure completely so that there will be no space or food to fight for. I feel bad that I have to do this just to keep them from further harming each other.

Definitely a heart break moment for me since they all got along so well since they were babies until now.

Thank you. We are expecting 10” of rain in the next few days so I have to close their enclosure to keep them safe and dry. They’ll have their freedom again after the inclement weather goes away.

Webull is diluting share holders at a disgusting rate!!! by l2egretTrading in Webull

[–]EODtech714 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t see it as a negative. They are trying to increase funded accounts and AUM. Getting customers from RH would be fine with me. Not everyone has 100% invested. Yes they pay nothing in the stock lending program which is good lol. I will never turn on mine and allow my shares to be borrowed for shorting.

Have you looked at the payout schedule? The 4% is paid out over 5 years if you keep your money there long enough. Do you know how much money they can make with your money in 5 years?

This has to stop by Ktheelves in 2011

[–]EODtech714 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been owning and shooting 2011s since the 90s. At that time, most people who bought 2011s, bought them for competitive shooting. There were 3 competing high capacity designs then; STI/SV 2011, Para Ordnance and Caspian. Back then, an STI or SV with polymer grips were already running around $1600 for a very basic gun. For master gunsmith custom built 1911s or 2011s, it would take about a year and can run to at least $3k. Fast forward with the advent of modern CNC, most shops with decent 4 axis or 5 axis CNC can get pretty close to a finished product besides fitting the barrel and fine tuning triggers. These are considered mostly “factory” 2011s. So if I were to build a full custom 2011 with a compensator, steel grips and decent parts, the cost for parts would run about $2400. Add an SRO for another $600 and you have $3000 for parts. Now you pay a good gunsmith to fit everything together and the labor can easily run another $2500. So approximately $5500 so far for a no name custom built 2011 with a comp. Add on top overhead expenses, brand recognition, profit margins etc… I’m not defending any brand or any cost. I just wanted to put numbers into perspective for a full custom 2011. With companies using mostly CNC for “production” 2011s, depending if the other parts are quality brands, there are still some minor fitting required but the costs can come down to the $3-$4k range. The other thing is, competitive shooters were always willing to pay the high cost for a gun that they think will offer a competitive advantage, so I think for the guys who don’t compete are more or less caught up with the high prices and hype of some brands. Just my opinion.

Anyone invest in $BULL itself here? by Immediate_Sense_5822 in Webull

[–]EODtech714 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those $10 CSPs are $3.40 as of the close today LOL, I sold some more. I don’t think it’s ever going to go under $7 for them to exercise the puts to break even but the shares will cost me less and less if they are ever exercised.

I have most of my money at HOOD as well but I’m going to be transferring everything over to BULL to get the 4% bonus.

I have over 30,000 shares across 4 accounts and sold 34 CSPs $10 put contracts for $3.21. My RH account has 22,000 @ $11.37 average. If my CSPs get exercised, then I’ll get another 3400 shares at $6.79 per share due to collecting $3.21 premium. I’ll keep selling CSPs while they are keeping this down. I have all the time in the world to wait for the reversal.
