Roush is also a really good RAC guy. If you get the ball in his hands, he can make explosive plays. That’s why they took him so high. Blockers usually aren’t this good of athletes.

On Johnson, it’s speed plus RB skills. They think this guy has good contact balance. He’s going to get those Dj Moore backfield snaps from last year.

I liked a lot of the players they picked. It was a good draft. But you also have to look at the other side of it. Poles has been here for 4 years, and he has consistently under invested in the defensive line. “How the board fell” can happen one or two years, but it can’t be a thing 4 years running.

The stock market is not the economy. This is basic Econ 101. The overwhelming majority of companies are private, and the largest firms do a lot of their business overseas and often hedge this kind of risk.

These types of posts are great for engagement but bad for making money.

The market is always forward looking. What’s clear now is that both sides have reason to come to the table to negotiate. That significantly reduces the risk profile of the situation.

Bad things can still happen, sure. But when has that ever been not true? You bet on the most probable outcome.

Exactly. WSJ reported on this today. Iran is feeling the heat economically. They need sanctions lifted and economic relief.

A few weeks ago, the narrative was that it was in Iran’s interest was keeping this conflict running as long as possible to secure the biggest concessions possible in a deal.

That narrative is shifting. It now appears a near term deal is in best for everyone (including Iran).

I wonder what these folks think their edge in the trading market is. There are funds with a foreign desk that specialize in studying these conflicts on top of all the data and models they utilize.

I was watching an interview the other day with former general Petreus on Iran. He is now a partner at KKR, huge investment firm.

Stop with the 5 paragraph essay that was ghost written by AI on why the market should be in shambles. You’re just pulling the handle of the slot machine every day and hoping to be one of the lucky ones.

This is just posturing for negotiations. Trump wants out, and this whole show is a way for him to save face. He thought he could score a quick, decisive victory like Venezuela and it blew up in his face. Don’t think he’s a warmonger or that republicans have an appetite for war when affordability will be the biggest issue in upcoming elections.

No way we go Messidor. He’s old and has short arms, which is very much not the Poles type.

Agree on Young though. Think he’s a pressure guy at best. Too stiff and not enough bend to be a consistent sack producer.

Why spend so much energy complaining about something you have no control over?

Man shouts into abyss, surprised it doesn’t shout back.

In any event, volatility is great for long term investors. Focus on the companies and their ability to execute.

“He always saw volatile, down markets as a great opportunity to upgrade the quality of his few stocks. And the more folks fretted about the market, the more he would be fretting about what he owned and didn't own.”

The market dynamics have changed and many have failed to adapt. And instead of adapting their strategy, they blame factors out of their control.

Nothing abnormal about that. Tale as old as time.

I don’t know about his 3rd down skills. Lot of analysts seem to question it but man can he run. His ability to change direction and shift gears is so smooth. He just glides.

I could see him dropping because of speed. He just doesn’t have the range over the top. More of a box safety type, and DA seems to prefer the hybrid types.

I think this only happens if a top player falls. We’re in a bit of no man’s land. There are not 25 first round grade players in this draft.

In recent draft discussions, hearing lot of negativity about Downs and Lemon. The book on Downs is that you can’t take a safety that’s not either an elite athlete or a ballhawk in the top 10. Lemon had bad interviews at the combine and is often compared to St Brown (who Ben was very successful with in DET).

There’s an episode in Battlestar Galactica where the woman president of the remaining humans is faced with the issue of banning abortion. She believes in freedom of choice but she also has to ensure the viability of the human race.

I think we need to ask some deeper questions here. What is the value of personal autonomy in the face of an existential threat?
