You should be as dim as Lenny. It is amazing how some people can dismiss a lifetime of hard work and success, with so little ease. The world needs more Lenny's and we all can learn from his life experiences.

well if there's one thing i know lenny knows is the economy and the market...way more than a school guidance counselor for sure.  and the guy can navigate his way around a golf course too.  saying the guy is "dim"  because one doesn't agree with him, is classic.  might as well as called him a racist ?-(

Spot on. I will listen to Lenny on the economy and the market all day long. I might not agree every time, but know his comments are based off of a long, successful career. Truthfully, we have dimwits on here that are experts on every topic and fail to listen and learn from folks like Lenny.

I very much value the knowledge shared by experts on this site. There are guys on here I do not agree with, but trust their thoughts on their fields of expertise. Only an idiot would dismiss someone that is smarter on a topic. Sadly, there are a lot of idiots in this world.

If Goose and Roqqet think Lennys is a smart dude that tells me all I need to know.

He's dimmer than I even thought he was.

Bought a place in FL on the ocean less than three years ago. Paid about 5-8% more than I wanted to then, it is now valued at 60% higher than what I paid. It's absolutely insane.

Tried to buy another place in the same city (single family home) sold in basically a weekend, over asking, for cash. These are not small numbers either, lots of New Yorkers coming down and buying up properties.
Our situation was similar , bought our home on the ocean in Florida coming up on two years ago , signed contract at the peak of pandemic. Which was full price at the time. Place is now valued up 68 percent from where we bought it.

We got out of the Northeast just in time.

Crazy thing is people are paying the prices . We are seeing deals at $1,000 per square foot and in some cases above . My next door neighbor has a 1500 square foot home going for $2,000,000.

All these silly numbers mean nothing to us, cause we intend on staying here.

Will be interesting to see how these values sustain post a recession .

Again, I do not think you get it. There are actually successful and smart people on this site. You really should learn from them, instead of being a smart ass. I very much value hearing the thoughts of smart folks on here, regardless if I agree with them or not.

Lennys may or may not have been successful.  I have no idea.  But if so, it is sad what he has become.

You are a bitter, twisted person and that is how you were born, raised or became more over time. I do not like you, but I think you post some solid posts every 2000-3000 posts and I learn from those posts. You should try it, you might become less bitter.

I am sure you will survive quite well in a very narrow, sad world. If I were you I would be asking if anyone liked me, not just Goose.
I can promise you that is my last reply ever to you, but I do feel sorry for you. Good luck to you and even better luck to anyone that has daily interaction with you, they need it.

I've haven't read anything on Scoop that leads me to believe that any of us are above average IQ.

I know you were tongue in cheek, and appreciate you bringing some humor to the night. That said, I do think it is very rewarding learning from the folks that post on scoop. I have learned a ton on scoop, and often from posters I have nothing in common with. I might be borderline old, but I want to learn from anyone no matter how I feel about them.

Rewind a couple years same scenario and the same bunch would be hemorrhaging out of multiple orafices

A couple of years ago nobody could leave there homes, the economy was in the toilet, the hospitals were turning people away, and your fucking hero was saying: "I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning? As you see, it gets in the lungs, it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that."

And on April 23, 2020 over 26 million jobless claims had been filed.

Your god's use of his personal devices - including to lead a violent coup attempt against his own government - makes Hillary's "crimes" look quaint.

But sure - lock 'em all up!

See how easy that is?!?!

When the GOP takes control of congress in 2023 we may learn the FBI used the same MO on Jan 6 as they did in Michigan when they tried to assassinate Gretchen Whitmer. The deep state could not convince a jury to buy that one as it became clear the Feds instigated the whole thing.

As opposed to the head of Homeland Security, creating a "Truth Ministry" led by some radical whacko singing Mary Poppins?  Great. 

This whole thread turned into personal insults and non-sequitirs resulting in partisan nonsense.  The fact remains that our current president is Joseph Biden and we have severe problems on a number of fronts.  If many of you want to rationalize or ignore them that's your prerogative but deep down most people know we're dealing with an utter s-show and this administration is not stepping up to the plate.
