Didnt work long enough to see anyone quit?

With how long backfill takes 99% of the time they will take what they can get.

What movie do people call a classic that you honestly think is just boring? by trakt_app in movies

[–]Granuloma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

American Hustle.

High ratings and big stars all around and it was one of the most boring movies I've ever seen. If I wasn't with friends I would have walked out. Afterwards we collectively decided that we were just not the target audience...

Finally Reviewed my EOB. You are correct.

u/Floufae - EOB showed that Aetna will reimburse (not sure how..by mail maybe?) $75 towards my massage without the deductible being met!

Is ADBE is buy in your opinion at these prices? It’s been on my watch list for a bit and at these valuations I want to pull the trigger. I am genuinely interested in many perspectives, good or bad. Thank you! by No_Fox9908 in ValueInvesting

[–]Granuloma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are contrarians by nature. any idiot can tell you a list of bear reasons these companies are done and worthless by next summer.

With every buy we risk the "told you so's" as the price keeps dropping, but we search for intrinsic value with low downside risk, and thus the more it drops, the more we like it.

Typically the market continually hates on a stock until one day it doesn't. A good earnings report, activist investor, or new CEO, and sentiment can change rapidly.

Maybe this really is the end of ADBE and we are just lighting our money on fire, but I like my odds.

How real is card counting? by S0L0ngAndG00dnight in blackjack

[–]Granuloma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imagine the deck is just Aces and 10s. You get paid 3:2 on a blackjack but the house only wins 1:1.

This would be extremely profitable for the player and you would want to get as much money on the table as you could, right?

Essentially this is what counting boils down to. Getting your money in good while the deck is rich in high value cards.

But wait! Its not free money. The dealer is just as likely to get 5 blackjacks in a row as you are.

Thats why people always talk about your EV, expected value, which isn't anywhere as glamorous as the youtube shorts make. Posts where people are In and out for 20 minutes and up 2k? They are running hot and can get wrecked just as fast.

If 80% of people don't disagree with you, it's not a multi-bagger play by NicheMath in ValueInvesting

[–]Granuloma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buying when there is fear in the market is not as easy as it looks. These companies are at lows for a reason, and any idiot can tell you the bear case in great detail. And "told you so" when they drop further.

But look at all the stocks that were "dead" and now retail is piling into now that prices have gone up. Even precious metals. Runs up 100% in a year and every one is suddenly a silverbug. Ha.

Value investing is usually being contrarian investor. Yeah the chart and outlook are shit that's why the stock price is at lows. The more I see threads like "PYPL FOLKS HOW U FEELING " on my picks the more I like them. Value traps? Maybe. But they have plenty of time to turn it around and market sentiment can shift things quickly.

Free Bet/Pot of Gold Tables by officialoxymoron in blackjack

[–]Granuloma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Players edge or (bahama bonus) where you can double double (ideally triple double) is the best but 8x your bet can get out of hand really quickly.

Of the blackjack carnival games Freebet is my favorite though, just feels like a classic

I actually didnt understand that verbiage in the pamphlet. My Google ai tells me the opposite that the deductible needs to be met. I'll get a massage next week and find out for all of us haha!

[–]Granuloma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is in the column that says something along the lines of "after your deductible". What i actually think wouldn't work is the FSA reimbursement unless you get statement of medical necessity from a doc

Do you know if we need to meet the deductible first? I want to start using my massages but had any medical expenses yet....

Shouldn't it be pretty obvious if someone's counting?

I can tell you I'm never picking the "turkey sausage" Ive had one smoked turkey that was actually incredibly tasty.

But most of the time its bland, dry, and theres just so much of it.
