Olivia Jade was widely reported to be fully onboard. She was cc’Ed on the “let’s buy the kids into USC” emails.
So she can’t talk. But she’d love to.
My dad would have turned 80 today.
He worked for Dayton-Hudson (now $TGT) for 33yrs. He made CEO at 45. He “retired” at 54, already slowed by the Corticobasal Degeneration that killed him.
Sometimes I talk to him when I shop. Which is normal.
Tom Wolfe died. Let’s re-read a brief portion of The Right Stuff together.
This is both how to write and how to view the nature of your existence on earth.
Do people realize how well Sears did? This is like the death of the richest person you ever met. Died at 140 getting screwed by someone 1/3 their age.
Feel bad for the workers but they had a LOT of notice.
Celebrate Sears. Don’t cry.
CostCo is selling MSRP ~$70 Banana Republic long-sleeved shirts for $15.99.
$COST paid $7-$10/per. BR prob paid ~$15-$30 originally. Not great.
This isn’t a “promotional environment”. It’s much worse, at least for $GPS. They’d have been better off letting people steal it.
This is the Desert Hills premium outlet mall. People in the neighborhood were selling parking spots in their yards for $20.
$LULU had a 2hr wait. Like a theme park except the ride is you spending $1000.
26 shopping days left. The good stuff has been gone for weeks.
$SBUX Closing 150 “underperforming company-operated stores in densely populated markets”.
Up from 50 as a historical average (that may have been invented just now).
Which is one way to solve the problem of non-customers hanging out in Starbucks locations. Just close and run.
Boxing is a head-to-head sport compared to tennis in exposing character.
When a fighter is behind and fouls out late >9/10* it’s a soft tank; he wants out.
Osaka didn’t need the penalty to hold serve. Serena knew it and she found a way out.
SW is fighting age, not sexism.

I'll be honest, it's still hard for me to understand some of the nuances happening in BTS. The backstory is murky to me.
Except for Jimin kicking ass. This kid can move.
Please don't trade Hertz. I don't think $HTZ has any value. Hertz agrees with me. It's not "risk/reward". The end is $0. HTZ trading is a game of chicken.
Well, I've done what I can.
Came across a note my dad sent me when I was a college Freshman, “adjusting”.
Translating from cursive, he’s proud of me. Thinks I worry too much but sees value in it. He believes in me.
I hadn’t seen this since the 80s. Carries more heft than an old email would, I suspect.
Lessons of Christmas 2018:
* US consumers are un-killable. We respond to every crisis by shopping.
* Shorts talking their book on God's birthday will most likely to go to hell (no judgements... just seems sort of intuitive).
* Christmas should never be on Tuesday during crashes
Not to be Mr. Intrusive Dad but I've been telling my 8th grader to dunk in other kids' faces for years and he never does.
I wonder how LeBron gets his son to listen so well.
PGA and LIV merging?
Now all the golfers work for Bone Saw Inc but only the ones who jumped get paid much.
Hilariously terrible job by the PGA throughout this.
Are people afraid to outright say $GME isn't worth $23b?
GameStop isn't worth $23b. There are models and such. None can reach $23b. GME can't monetize at this value unless shareholders buy it.
You guys don't want to own GME this price. Not forever. Godspeed on the stock. no pos

$AMZN 2yr performance after the 60 Minutes piece (% off high) and from the IPO to today.
I don't know a ton of people capable of surviving 95% drawdowns. Of those who do the vast (VAST) majority end up riding stocks to $0.
