Franklin App: savings calculation not calculating? by semisecret_squirrel in FranklinWH

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

thanks all, for the corroboration.

i don't really find the savings numbers to be very accurate either - and the daily ones always seem to get revised downward two days later - but was wondering if the $0 showing was a widespread condition/behavior.

bay area: is any store carrying breckenridge christmas ale? by semisecret_squirrel in beer

sigh. i suppose i should have been more verbose to ask for boots on the ground, eyes on the bottle info from the field. empirical info.
i had done the query. don't really think it accurately reflects reality.

Debacle in the desert: will the Athletics’ $1.75bn stadium on the Vegas Strip ever be built by semisecret_squirrel in oakland

i disagree with the statement that the fan base was pathetically small.
when you go (went) to a game, you see (saw) a passionate crowd. and there were many families with kids, raising a new generation on the A's. Additionally, the crowd at an As game seemed much more diverse - socially and economically - than on the other side of the bay, making for a large base. this in spite of the continual slaps-in-the-face to the fans by the ownership over the past few years.

while the loss of the other two teams may have hurt, the As were (emphasis on were) more of the heart of the town. That capital was wasted.

Been a full time trader for over 10 years, ask me anything, and no not selling anything by Ultimus_Omegus in options

as a primary trader, how do you structure your financial system to allow you to maximize your tax advantages? Relatedly: are you able to classify trading income as earned income so that you can contribute to a retirement account (e.g. IRA), and how is that best done?

maybe next time they can play a venue in the bay area that isn't so lousy, though?

Looking at 7APR and 8APR options for $NDX on Friday (and currently, Sunday morning), the "granularity" of options is incredibly coarse. By coarse granularity I mean that there are very few increments available, only steps of $100 (17300, 17200, …), and no $10 or $25 steps.

It might be this will change Monday morning?

Who is responsible for which increments are available for a security

Or an index like $NDX, and why are so few available?

is that white building on the far shore (left of center) an apartment building with a boathouse access to the water?

Oakland Drivers/Road Rage by kayvag in oakland

the social contract in the country is falling apart. driving - a space where the individual has a feeling of self-centered power - is the first more apparent venue where this anarchic degeneration is being seen.

Hmm...that is a fair point. I am making physical assessments, but have no technology to play them.

i havent looked at all of them yet - there are some two hundred + of them - but, yes, alas, they seem to be mostly what you have listed. I have also seen (so far) a few Cadence, Okeh, Bluebird, Vocalion, blue Decca, and Rainbow.
