Oso planning to go pro
I stopped playing fantasy football in 1993. I was the commissioner of a league and in Year 6 of my run, two of the owners got so angry at each other that they stopped being friends. I disbanded the league and I haven't looked back. Now, I watch a game if I want to and I don't watch one if I don't want to, and I could give a crap about fantasy sports. When somebody tells me how many points their TE had this week, my eyes glaze over ... and I think, "Shyte, did I used to sound like that?"But yeah, thanks. My boyz played quite well for most of the game. Cam was outstanding. If he plays like that, it's difficult to beat the Panthers.
That's some crazy over competitive owners. I participate in one fantasy league, we created it forever ago as a way for some of my old friends to stay in contact. All for fun, and the one event each year that we will all be at (the draft) to keep in touch. Most of us though, honestly, could not care less about who wins, its just fun, which is probably the best way to look at fantasy sports.Now real sports, like pickup games...we will all still throw elbows at each other.
Much healthier attitude, forgetful. Enjoy!
Somehow I missed this response to my post of a week or so ago, mu03. Thanks for the very detailed response.I sold some of my TGT stock more than a year ago but I still have some. I'm holding in an attempt to get back to even, which I admit is stupid and illogical. I'm stubborn and hate taking losses, but sometimes it's necessary. I'm very down on Target as both a company and an investment, and I really appreciate your insight.
You've done the hard part - admitted you picked a lemon (everyone does) and admitted you've been stubborn about it (almost everyone is). The worst thing that could happen to you would be for Target to rally back to break even. The best thing that could happen is for you to hit the sell button.
Agreed, Lenny.The pisser is that I actually identified TGT as a troubled investment well over a year ago ... but only sold 1/4 of my position at $78. Shoulda sold it all, of course.What I have left really isn't that much - and getting less every day, ha! - which is why I don't get my undies in a bundle over it. It pays a good dividend, so I'm getting paid to wait. It's an interesting company because it's been through a lot of trouble the last several years, most of its own making, as mu03 detailed.
Yep, sitting at a div yield of 4%+, that's a primary reason I'm still in. Only hopped in TGT several months back.. I believe at $52.38.. it's now at $58.66 (+12%). Sometimes crappy stocks get beaten down so much I can't resist.
Nice, JB. IMHO, Target has become a "trading stock." Buy low, sell high. You did a great job of buying low! I'm a long-term investor and am not interested in owning more of a troubled company that is well behind the leaders in an ultra-competitive industry.

I'm hooping because I saw an update on the seattle situationhttps://twitter.com/paulkrugman/status/1079438656706961408?s=19
Wow. It's almost as if people have been feeding the public a load of bull about the impact of an increase in the minimum wage. Gosh, I wonder why that's the case???
Is that the same Krugman that predicted the crash of the stock market in November of ‘16? Can’t recall.....yup, same Krugman."It really does now look like President Donald J. Trump, and markets are plunging. When might we expect them to recover? A first-pass answer is never… So we are very probably looking at a global recession, with no end in sight." Paul Krugman of the New York Times the day after the election.Economy overall going very well right now, let’s see how things go when downturns happen and fixed costs like labor have to be shed.
Many equal studies and examples that prove the opposite. If your theory was spot on, why not make minimum wage $50 an hour?How about economics is ‘t An exact science which is why finding 500 economists, many of them Nobel prize winners will say raising min wage is a bad idea and 500 different economists will come up with the exact opposite argument.How can this be? How can this be? Instead it’s always the other guy is wrong.
The evidence/studies/examples are not equal
My point was Krugman has been specularly wrong in the past....so off the charts wrong it was embarrassing.
Harvard did a study last year On min wage impact on Calif that was negative.
And BTW ... it appears Krugman very well might have been right about the market and the recession; he was just a couple years too early.
