:popcorn: Crazy that this thing was down another 9-10% to the $2.70s in pre-market. shite can flip so fast in this market. SLI's pre-market price action has to be one of the most unreliable indicators in the market :lol:. Don't know how many times we're big green in pre-market and end the day red, or vice versa. Got myself another 200ish shares since it started dipping mid-October, so hopefully we got another run starting. This time lithium prices may give us a tailwind instead of being a headwind.
I've got two 6 year olds. One weighs 70 (which is pretty big for his age) and the other is 58. I cannot fathom a 14 year old who weighs HALF of what my 6 year old weighs.
Other than the rest of the market tanking today, I don't know. Funny thing is that lithium prices have been on the rise again for the last week or two, and the rest of the lithium companies (minus SLI and LAC) have been going up too. Feels like maybe it wants to go test that support line at $3.00-3.07ish before going back up.
The injury rumors and bad O-line don't excuse his decision making. What had people screaming for him to be benched is when he throws into double or even triple coverage to kill a scoring drive (see Ole Miss), when he refuses to run for an easy first down and instead throws a deep ball to your worst receiver who is double covered (see LaTech), when he calls timeout on 3rd and long that we're unlikely to convert on the first drive of the game for like 4 or 5 games in a row, when he thinks he's Russell Wilson and tries to do the reverse pirouette to get away from a pass rush even though he has bricks for feet and could have just stepped up in the pocket instead... the list goes on.

Even if injury explains why his deep ball suffered, then why keep throwing bad deep balls when you know you can't get it there? The LaTech interception keeps coming back to me. Barion Brown had 10 yards on the nearest DB for a walk-in TD and somehow you underthrow it by 20 yards to get intercepted. Either the worst throw ever, or a throw he never should have attempted if he was hurt that bad.

What drove people crazy is that the traits that were supposed to be his strengths, were suddenly weaknesses. We get that he doesn't have the Jayden Daniels type of mobility. But you're a pocket passer that has awful pocket presence/awareness and suddenly can't pass or hit deep balls. You're a coach's son who has been in the program for 5 years and still makes awful decisions that have me questioning your football IQ.

What a silly trend


It's just called working out, man, it's not that weird or a thing to wrap your head around. Weights add resistance, which gives a better work out. What's so hard about this?
Yeah, China will ease their restrictions on rare earth exports, which I guess spooked lithium markets that the China supply will affect domestic prospects.

That may be an overreaction as I think Trumps admin already had the wheels in motion to prioritize domestic and stop relying on China. China is known to be asshoe and will likely be asshoe again in the future. Domestic companies will continue to be important for national security

I didn't get to watch SNF. Anybody know what the deal with Kittle was? Was he just a decoy, or did he re-aggravate his injury or what? It's going to be a tough call to start him again if he's not really healthy. I know ATL is decent guarding the TE tho.
Caleb williams, smdh. Not only did he screw me in fantasy, but I needed him to throw just one freaking TD for a parlay to hit. What a bum
Damn, that letter makes me feel a lot better after the offering took the wind out of the sails. SLI is more and more on the national stage and getting more eyes on it. I don't think it can be stressed enough that this admin is treating SLI and domestic lithium extraction like a national security issue.
It feels like they are not gonna let SLI fail. I'll ride out the bumps in the road because it just feels like there's too many big players in SLIs corner for it to not work out.
Just had my opponent drop 65 points on me on MNF to upset me last week, and now a few days later it feels like I've already lost my next match going against Chase and his 16 freaking catches in PPR. Feels like MNF and TNF are always worst case scenario for me.
It was never at $7.99, but the rest of the market faded. Someone probably tweeting about China or government shutdown again and pissed in everyone's Cheerios

Nope. LSU ran the ball with a running back twice in the 1st half against the worst rush defense in the SEC.


Yep, and I have to point out that of those two runs, one of them was late in the 2nd Quarter on 3rd and 20. We basically conceded the drive and tried to get a few extra yards of field position for the punt. So I don't even count that. Therefore our RBs got exactly ONE carry the whole first half vs. the worst rush D in the SEC.
There was a headline this morning from Jamie Dimon, Bank of America CEO, emphasizing that America does need to gain some independence from China in rare earth mining and pledged $10billing to be invested into that... Guess this is just speculation that it's a good time to be in domestic mining companies like SLI

Dumb!


Then the news just would've been disseminated via a news headline somewhere and the result would've been the same. Not sure why the social media part matters here.
Damn SLI, whatchu doin, girl?

His setup is everything you want in FF.

-Bad team that will be in shootouts/playing from behind/lots of garbage time
-Effective offense with a QB that isn't totally worthless
-Top 3 option in the offense
-Offense has a proven track record of making the TE extremely relevant


Great synopsis, but I would also add the fact that the TE position is a complete dumpster fire and even if it's a small chance, it's worth blowing some FAAB for a hope of getting production there. And the fact that Waller is a great athlete and looked to be moving pretty good. Tyreek getting injured is what makes it feel like you're not just chasing the TDs. That's a lot of targets that need to be divvied up now.
Yeah I'm going against jeanty everywhere for this coming out party. Figures. And I lost Nabers too. I hate fantasy

Eta: and now I've lost Lamar too. FFS, my year is already done in every league

There's more use cases than just being paranoid that your spouse is cheating.

If my wife is driving to/from work in bad weather I might just want to check that she got to work OK. Yesterday I remembered something I needed from the grocery, so I checked to see if her location still showed at the store or if she already left . Obviously I could call/text for these answers, but I've found this to be handy and faster than waiting for her to respond. And won't tempt her to text and drive.
He's so bizarre to watch. Obviously very talented. The TD catch and controlling it through the ground was as good as it gets. But that 1st half performance was ABYSMAL. He single-handedly killed at least 4 drives. 2 or 3 times it seemed he wasn't in the right spot or didn't run the right route and caused incompletions. Caused two interceptions - one he just stopped running his route and let Murray throw right to a DB, and the other hit him in the hands and he bobbles it up to a DB.

He dropped what could have been like an 80 yard TD last week. Week 1 he was wide open for what could have been a 98 yard TD, although that one was more of a missed throw by Murray IMO.

So many disappointing plays, but he's also a dropped catch or two away from being a top 5 WR in scoring this season.
Yeah, classic overthinking by bad coaches. We have to discipline him! Even if he's our better rb and it hurts our chances to win!
