Badgers MBB fall to Carlton (Canada)

[GGGG]

Here I thought you were a hip and trendy cat. But, I see I have to map it out for ya. Tommy James and the Shondells recorded the hit song, "Crimson and Clover." T-Cubed thought he'd be clever and use a play on words to mark his memorable presser at I4. Hence, the grassy nickname. Got it?

Uhhh...no.

IU's colors are "crimson and cream."  The saying has nothing to do with the song.

Tommy James and the Shondells were a really bad pop/rock group (Hanky Panky, Mony, Mony) who morphed into a really bad psychedelic pop group (Crimson and Clover, Crystal Blue Persuasion). I'm sure T-Cubed is a big fan.

Hip and trendy for 4never = 1968 hit songs.

PS - ARO available for $9.09 at the moment. Probably will jump in (once again). Not a fan of the company short or long term, but I've ridden this one for short term glory ($$$$$$) several times before. I may be able to buy some of you Christmas gifts this year after the gains I'll see by then.

From the naive young dude who doesn't follow stocks whatsoever, I Googled ARO...Aeropostale?  You'd recommend buying?

Save the bread and send some free professional samples.

Chicos--this at least the second time, if not the the eighth time, that you have brought this up.  I think the last time, you actually said in the last 20 years. We get it already.

When someone says no, they clearly don't get it....I'm here to educate.

[ChicosBailBonds]

The problem with this is that Wisconsin has had the same coach for the last 15 years, while Marquette just got a huge upgrade in the coaching position going on 6 years ago now.  So since all of the pieces to the puzzle have been put into place, Marquette has been the superior basketball program.

Except you would be wrong....

Probably not for you. The stock is a turd, but it reached $8.59 today and I was compelled to buy it. Have played it for quick gains in the past. Their next quarter is going to be horrid as well, but I think that's in the price and then some. Looking for a relatively quick double-digit gain and then I'll hop out that sucker again.

I'd send some gloves, but am afraid it would go to personal use.

TCU also lost to Carlton and Syracuse is down at the half.

[Dawson Rental]

Dekker may just hang around to play with Looney and Stone and cut the nets down, hey?

I know that Looney has never said he was going out of state, but good sense says that he's not going to go out of his mind (playing for Bo).

[Dawson Rental]

Was Dekker a UW guy all the way, or did MU have a shot at some point?

A UW guy all the way.

[Brewtown Andy]

A UW guy all the way.

I remember looking at his page on one of the recruiting sites and his only other offers were from (I think) Northern Iowa and UW-GB.

Dude must have been not even taking calls from anyone else once Bo was interested.

I think he committed in June after his sophomore year. A day or days after uw-madison offered. Was making people notice early on that spring, but things would have really heated up. May have been uwmilwaukee vs. uwgb. Bradley & Northern Illinois also in there, I think.

Basically uw-madison was the first big school to offer and he took it quickly. Otherwise many would have been after him. Good move by Bo Ryan.

His dad was his high school coach and had some sort of connection with Bo as well.

I want MU to play these guys!

cuse ended up winning in OT

Canadian universities aren't governed by the NCAA, obviously. They practice year round together. Carleton has won 9 of the last 11 championships. Last year they beat a team by over 40 in the championship game.

Last year, Louisville beat them by 1...and then they won the 'ship.

ARO at $10.01. 16.5% with ease.

Get at me.

Just curious, what do you use for trading? Was thinking about setting up an account to dabble. Are there minimums you had to invest?

Sounds like you'd have to plow a lot of money into that stock to see much of a gain off a 16% return in the short run.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love 16% (or even 10%) annually. But if you are playing the market month to month, how much do you have to invest to make it worth the fees?

I use several platforms for trading. For someone dabbling, E*Trade is actually pretty easy to use / has what you'll probably need. But I'd look at comparisons you can find online.. there are different minimums, but I don't think they're very high.

Some brokers will give you a discount or other incentives if you have $X amount with them (including bank accounts, credit cards, other products, etc)... for example, "if you have $50k with us, then trades are $9.99 instead of $13.99".. just making those numbers up, but that's an example of the setup you might see.

As for 16%.. depends on what "much of a gain" is to you... 16% in less than a month works for me.

Thanks, was actually already considering E*Trade, as we use it for our company ESPP.
