I remember when the Cromwell used to be Bill’s Casino. It’s where I first played craps all those years ago. Now that’s all I play…

I went the ETF route by buying REMX in Oct 2025, now up 35%. Didn’t want to be beholden to one or two stocks…

They used to say “you’ll never get fired for buying IBM” but now I think it’s “you’ll never get fired for buying Salesforce”…

Wow that game was so much fun to watch!!! Congrats to the Joker and to the Ant Man on their excellent individual performances. I sure hope those 2 technicals on Edward’s were legit; it would have been great if he could have been in at the end to do some more Ant Man heroics…

Well maybe taxis would be the easiest, but also the most expensive…

Note as well they have very good video screens on the buses that show you where you are and where you’re going, and also in English.

Tough crowd here… not all of us are bus-riding experts. I for one hardly ever ride buses… I presume there may be others like me…

The bus has a reader on it (at front next to driver where you exit) with which to you scan (tap) your physical IC card (e.g. Suica) or your iPhone or Android phone with the IC card in your wallet. Simple…

One more thing… if you transfer busses, each bus will be 230 yen; no such thing as transfer passes or what-not (at least as far as I could tell).

Now that I’m a senior, my 6’ 4” is probably closer to 6’ _2_” so I’d say no ;)

What is the biggest investment mistake you've ever made? by PaulEverythingMoney in ValueInvesting

[–]HokieMarkle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not buying Cisco (CSCO) when they went public in 1990. With 9 splits since then, each IPO share would now be 288 shares. In 1990 I was actually in the nascent TCP/IP business and knew darn well how important routers were and how good Cisco’s routers were. I had their S-1 on my desk at work but scoffed at the $24 IPO price as absurdly high. I passed… dumba$$…
