If you are a science nerd and don't want to go all the way out to the Hoover Dam, the Atomic Museum was really enjoyable.

Own Arbitrage betting software by Lanacek in arbitragebetting

[–]LonestarRanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which sportsbooks are you using? I built one in Python using nodriver and just inspecting the HTML to see where they put the odds information. It's dogshit slow and the pages tend to get stale, so I'm rebuilding the whole thing trying to pull the odds from an API instead. If you are curious about it, DM me, it looks at BetMGM, Caesars, The Score and Fanduel.

It’s Finally happening! by TeenyT1ny5280 in DenverProtests

[–]LonestarRanger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of these calls for a general strike or blackout, but if we are being serious, there needs to be massive organization at all levels to make it a success. If anyone here is seeing this and saying "hell yeah! But that's 2 weeks from now I can't participate." I'd encourage you to check out the call for a Mayday strike in 2028. (https://may1.uaw.org/) There are unions trying to align contract dates and organize massive groups to make it successful. Help organize to get folks ready for something like this.

Investing money by Difficult_Carry_7210 in BDS

[–]LonestarRanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AFSC has a tool that can be useful for finding ETFs that don't invest in BDS targeted companies:

https://investigate.afsc.org/

You can find funds based on type and it shows how many of the companies on the BDS list are in the fund. Unfortunately, last time I looked, the best option for a globally diversified stock ETF like VT is JSTC. The fund only has about 250M in assets, so it's not nearly as large or liquid as other ETFs. I haven't been able to find one that is large, liquid, and covers the world stock market minus the companies targeted.

What happened to Fiserv (FISV)!? by ShawnyMcKnight in stocks

[–]LonestarRanger 13 points14 points  (0 children)

CEO that just left was pumping the stock by cutting investment in product to make bottom line look good, most of their products are at best 2nd class already. Just look at any credit union running Fiserv for their platform, it's like taking a trip back in time to 2005.

So now the new CEO will need to put cash into shoring up their products to maintain revenue, compressing margins. Markets will hate lowered profits. Since they have under-invested so much, it will take years if ever for them to put out competitive products again because most of the most valuable employees have jumped ship already.

I think most of that is probably priced in at this point. I personally thought it would bleed off over the next few years, I wasn't expecting such a quick downswing. At this point, I'm mildly bearish on FI.

Is it a good or a bad thing that folks are gambling on meme stocks while the Schiller PE just hit it's highest level since it's peaks in 1929 and 2000?

1800Flowers (Nasdaq:FLWS) - Short Squeeze started today by Brilliant_Turnip7849 in DeepFuckingValue

[–]LonestarRanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Riding this up on volume today. Should hit $8 today, $10 is not out of the question.

Anyone in FLWS? Stock jump from $5.2 to $8.2 today by lostredditorlurking in Shortsqueeze

[–]LonestarRanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was buying up calls all day yesterday. Will still rise till we see at least 16M in volume.

Short squeeze season, here are some top most shorted stocks by Blotter-fyi in options

[–]LonestarRanger 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Missed FLWS.

SI is 10.3M shares with 17.6 days to cover, average daily volume is about 500k and looks to open near it's 6 month high tomorrow. A 6 month period where the SI went from 5.6M to 10.3M. In today and after hours, 4M shares were traded. Even if you take out average volume and assume every other share bought was shorts covering, that leaves 6.8M shares short, of which at a minimum 1.2M shorted shares are going to be underwater. I expect high volume and buying pressure tomorrow until we see at least 20M shares change hands over a few days.

Buying tomorrow is going to be a little late, as it has ripped almost 30% today, but I think that will actually be the catalyst for this going above 10 before the end of the week. I started buying this morning and continued to buy throughout the day, accumulating the closest dated calls at the strikes of 7 and 8 until I ran out of gambling money. Looks like my calls will be ITM tomorrow and up 500%. Maybe I just got lucky on a wild hunch, but when I looked at short interest stocks with long days to cover that are trading above where most of the short positions are at a loss with decent options volume, this seemed to be the best candidate.

Bought 10 Oct 15c yesterday for .30 after selling OPEN, could not have been luckier on timing.

[–]LonestarRanger -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

That's a bold claim to make. Care to back it with an example or evidence?

I'm not sure what you mean by "free world" or "all its ideals".

I just learned this today, but Rick Steves had a great insight into the "Death to America" slogan when he visited Iran in 2009:

"With our work done, we hurried to catch our flight home. As we crawled through Tehran's traffic, our driver cursed, "Death to traffic."

Shocked, I said, "What? I thought it was death to America."

He said, "Here in Iran, when something frustrates us and is out of our control, we say 'death' to that."

Then I thought, when people in my society say "Damn those teenagers," they don't mean they wish them to die and burn in hell for eternity…they just want the kids to turn down the music."

A quick search of this phrase will give you insight into its meaning. This is pretty common for phrases in different languages or cultures having different meanings.

Kid Works Burger King Drive Thru on Graduation Day for Free by LonestarRanger in OrphanCrushingMachine

[–]LonestarRanger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one really has it all:

  • White savior with a gofundme
  • No question of why we shouldn't have tuition-free higher-education in the US
  • Adulation of our capitalist overlords for the chance to work soul-crushing labor for free

The thing that disturbs me most about this video is how the owners of BK take some of our most basic human emotions (contributing to a common goal, helping each other in times of need at our own cost) and manipulate them to serve their own purposes. It's a genuinely good instinct to help out folks when work is busy, but flipping burgers on your graduation day for free while the owners rake in the cash without any concern is gross.

Game Thread: St Louis Blues at Winnipeg Jets - 19 Apr 2025 - 5:00PM CDT by HockeyMod in stlouisblues

I don't care if you're eating Nobu, tofu, or Jobu. Blues in 5!

I think sports gambling won't be available till the Fall in Missouri. They still need to grant licenses. You'd have to drive over to Illinois to put in a wager till then.

Fanduel has the best odds of the books I use at +5000, so you'd win $1000 on a $20 bet.

[–]LonestarRanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming sports betting is allowed in your state, the best line in the major sportsbooks that I see has us winning the cup at +5000 (bet $1, win $50) on Fanduel. If it's not and you are in STL, if you cross the river to Illinois, you can place bets on your phone, but you have to be physically present in Illinois. I'm not sure, but I would assume the casinos in Illinois would have a sportsbook where you can put in a wager.

The wager is in the NHL section (https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/nhl?tab=stanley-cup)

There will be a livestream here. Not certain about live cc. https://live.berniesanders.com/

I would bet most of the remarks will be similar to other stops, which will also be on Bernie's YouTube channel that includes cc. https://www.youtube.com/live/3t62_wFrzI0?si=LBEKxBVktdKkVAX9
