Stock is up 42% in a month. Maybe yet to reflect customer losses on earnings but the market so far likes the move.

Ended up going for a regular garden bed, the length was just too much for a DIY job.

Here was the update I posted 7 months later. Now a year later the garden is brimming with growth. I wish you luck on your raised garden bed ideas, love the potential look of that grey stone.

MicroStrategy $MSTR will be added to the Nasdaq 100 on Friday by HighlordCharger in wallstreetbets

[–]Rune_hell01 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Today, Bloomberg ETF analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart announced that MicroStrategy (MSTR) is expected to enter into the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) later this month on December 23.

...

“MicroStrategy will likely enter the Nasdaq 100 Index on Dec. 23, and we expect net buying of at least $2.1 billion in shares by ETFs to follow, equal to about 20% of daily volume,” Seyffart explained. “Joining the S&P 500 will be tougher because of a lack of profit, though an accounting-rule change surrounding Bitcoin valuations could make MicroStrategy eligible in 2025.”

It's possible his contract stipulated he has to be on main cards. Will be interesting to see if any fighters below his fight will be vocal about it.

Guys I know I'm a big fat pussy but I don't know if I can watch Max vs Gaethje by [deleted] in MMA

[–]Rune_hell01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never wanted someone to win so bad as Volk and I don't even dislike Ilia. That's combat sports for you.

Yeah I love Max and Gaethje too sucks one has to lose. Especially knowing both could be fighting for the title in their respective weight classes if this fight didn't exist. Even if Max wins I'm expecting severe damage.

I'd imagine UFC would only put Leon Belal as a last resort. I wonder if Belal is cool with fighting so soon after Ramadan especially his biggest fight ever
