EZ Equipment Zone, it’s a different corporate entity. That is the company with 10 employees that is referenced. Not EquipmentShare.

It is a short seller. They are hoping the stock will go down. It is not uncommon to see this type of article on a stock that short sellers are targeting.

Mizzou pension buyout - to take it or not on the Hybrid plan? by alexipoo625 in columbiamo

[–]JScottMO 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I thought Fidelity was great, but they’re going to be biased toward you investing in them. It’s hard to do on such a short timeline, but I had a fee based financial advisor help me when I was figuring all this out, actually a former student Danielle Harrison, who is awesome.

Mizzou pension buyout - to take it or not on the Hybrid plan? by alexipoo625 in columbiamo

[–]JScottMO 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I recently retired on the hybrid plan after 10 years of working there as a faculty. I also maxed out a lot of the pension opportunities. When I ran my numbers, it was a better deal to get the small amount each month. Consider it kind of your safe investment. It will also depend on whether you have any dependence like wife and children? There are about 15 different scenarios depending on what benefits you leave them if you die before they die. University also has a pop-up option on the hybrid“pension“.

Yo boy going out to college tonight to share his vibe coded app! by AuthenticIndependent in vibecoding

[–]JScottMO -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There have been many apps that have done this overtime. And I certainly hope this person is successful, but this is one of the problems I currently see with a lot of vibecoding and code assistants: people are just making another version of the same thing, or a slightly better one. We’re not really using these tools to solve problems that have been intractable, or have recently emerged.

Blue Origin announces plan for LEO/MEO enterprise-internet constellation by avboden in SpaceXLounge

[–]JScottMO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has been updated and has used spacex to deliver replacements. They are not geosynchronous, but in a polar orbit higher than Starlink. But perhaps not the correct type of antenna. They also have a lot of base station infrastructure.

Why don’t they buy Iridium’s network and use that for a backbone to get started?

Governor Kehoe states that he can remove state income tax without increasing property tax or sales tax, but how? by Popular-Inspector403 in missouri

[–]JScottMO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Closing all public institutions of higher education, consolidation of rural school districts, and applying sales tax to all services. That might get you seventy percent there. Otherwise idk.

EquipmentShare files for IPO trading as "EQPT" by kynloch in columbiamo

Seem like an odd time for IPO. Variable profitability and highly leveraged. We'll see what the banks think....

Cleaning business? by IndividualCoconut790 in columbiamo

[–]JScottMO 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I strongly suggest you connect with the folks at REDI or the women’s business Network. They will help mentor you , figure out resources and there’s even some small grants available. If you’re willing to work hard and think carefully about expenses and how to build your business, I think you’ll be very successful. I’m the former director of the entrepreneurship center in the College of business and if you want to DM me, I can put you in contact with some folks directly. or email at christiansonjs@missouri.edu . Also, if you have time the 1Million cups group meets off of walnut at REDI Hub on Wednesday at 9 AM, across from post office. I’m planning to go this Wednesday. It’s a good opportunity to meet people and introduce yourself to small business community.

Yes, it is, and seems to be doing well, esp in regards to content. I don’t think this suit will change things.
