re: Do we miss any of the dudes that transferred OUT ahead of 2026 season

Adams and Parker in my opinion would help this team. Parker was coming into his own and Adams would be starting at tackle right now instead of Davis.
Anybody Transferred their IRA to Robinhood for the 2% Bonus?
Posted by Skippy1013 on 10/5/26 at 12:01 pm
If you roll over an IRA to Robinhood, they add 2% of your total rollover amount to your account. Only condition is that you have to stay for 5 years or they can take back all or part of the 2%.
Seems like a no brainer. Anyone do this?

Short answer…yes
AI - it’s quite amazing how wrong it is on many questions
Posted by Skippy1013 on 9/26/26 at 5:31 pm
I do ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini and Claude, and pay a monthly subscription for ChatGPT.
I’m amazed how wrong all of them are on answers to many non-complicated questions. Usually, I’ll correct it or simply say you are wrong, and it will re-answer the question, many times picking up on why I say it is wrong, then it gives the correct answer.
Truly amazing, frustrating and kind of concerning.

Do you actually know your cost basis? If so, most brokerage accounts allow you to manually edit your cost basis. Keep in mind, you need accurate records to verify your numbers in case Uncle Sam asks for proof.

Final Bill dispute with a Contractor (Plumber)
Posted by Skippy1013 on 8/11/26 at 5:31 pm
I have a rental home that needed pretty extensive plumbing work and the plumber I hired gave me a $6200 estimate. As the job progressed, more work was in needed and I agreed verbally to an additional $2000. When the job was finished, the plumber presented me with a final invoice of $10,380. I questioned him on it and he simply says that the materials and labor added up to more than he expected, but that his invoice is accurate and he wants full payment. He provided me with a breakdown of his and his employees labor and a material list, but I have no way to verify the accuracy of his labor and most of the materials are inside the walls and attic and I cannot confirm its accuracy.
I offered him $9000, but he wants the whole amount.
I think he is trying to pull one over on me, but I don’t want to risk a lien being placed in the house.
Should I continue to challenge him, continue to negotiate with him, or simply send him a check for the original $8200. Or, should I consult an attorney?
Thanks…

Read the first paragraph in my post, I explain this.
The reality about the price of oil - Facts
Posted by Skippy1013 on 7/16/26 at 5:38 pm
I’m so sick of the moaning and groaning about gas prices and the price of a barrel of oil. Our future as a country is worth paying a little more and this situation with Iran will pay off long term for all of us, no more bully in the Middle East, freedom of shipping, no nuclear weapons for Iran, and their terror proxies are destroyed.
I used AI and determined that the average price per barrel of oil over the past 10 years and it’s $64.73. The prices per barrel during the 4 year Biden administration was $71.26.
I then asked what the prices per barrel of oil should be using the average of the past 10 years and adjusting the price per barrel for inflation. The result is $78.15.
The prices per barrel of oil today, 7/16/26, is $79.54.

He voluntarily retired, he’s not getting paid any of the guarantees. It’s dead cap money on the Saints Roster. The only way he would get his guaranteed money was to be active, even if riding the bench and even if her were cut by the Saints. However, he retired, so none of that applies.
Jim Cramer and IBM
Posted by Skippy1013 on 7/15/26 at 5:14 pm
On July 9th, 2026 a caller to his show asked about buying IBM stock and Cramer emphatically said to Buy It!
On July 14, it dropped 24% and today it dropped another 2.7%.
Yesterday, on his show, he discussed IBM in detail and completely disparaged the company and said it cannot be invested in. However, he did not apologize or even discuss his recommendation on the stock less than a week earlier.
I know he cannot be right all the time and I know his show is popular and gets ratings, I watch it almost daily. However, this situation is inexcusable.

Tuna, chicken or egg salad sandwich
Posted by Skippy1013 on 7/12/26 at 10:33 am
My rank, if properly made:
Tuna salad
Chicken salad
Egg salad
It’s weird, because I like the taste of chicken better than Tuna, but when mixed for a salad sandwich, Tuna takes the lead.

Local car dealer refuses a sale handed to them on a silver platter
Posted by Skippy1013 on 7/4/26 at 8:53 am
I found 2 exact vehicles at a local dealership and an out of town dealership and began negotiating price. The out of town dealer was first to respond and I got the deal that I wanted and started the process, got loan approval and all of the paperwork ready, all I have to do is go get it.
I decided to call the local dealership and told them of my pending purchase and said I preferred to buy from them, because they are in the town I live. I gave them a copy of my pending deal, all of the numbers and showed them everything they asked for. All they had to do was give me the same deal, but they wouldn’t not do it.
I wonder why? It’s an easy sale, done deal…seems strange to me that a local dealership would let me go like this.
Anybody in the car business have any insight?
