119 shares at $159 cost basis, but these will be passed on to my grand kids. I'm not selling. I also bought into BPTRX a long time ago, so i'm feeling that bump. I'd sell the BPTRX eventually, but not the SPCX shares.
Now I'm on to the next IPO's and deciding how much to put into Anthropic and OpenAI.
First time in my life I have real $$ in what I call a YOLO investment account. It's primarily for IPO's like this.

SpaceX
on Tuesday announced it entered a formal agreement to buy the artificial intelligence startup Cursor for $60 billion worth of stock, a hotly anticipated deal.
The announcement comes just days after Elon Musk’s rocket-maker debuted on the Nasdaq in the biggest initial public offering ever.
Cursor built a popular AI coding tool that helps software developers generate, edit and review code, and the company has experienced explosive growth since its founding in 2022.

Musk merged SpaceX with his AI startup, xAI, earlier this year, and the Cursor deal looks set to help revitalize the company’s efforts to compete with rivals like Anthropic and OpenAI, which also offer popular coding tools.

It always flooded - and it was always cheap. It’s still risky from a real estate perspective even today.
The pocket of higher end stuff on Nicholson near Magnolia Mound was not developed until the 1950s, and it was demolished around 2006 to make room for a real estate development that went belly up during the recession and never happened.

New Orleans will be a learning experience definitely.

We all have cracks in our underwear. If it was out of his underwear they’d have pinched him on indecent exposure.
This is the stuff of my nightmares.
All this because Democrats are sky screaming about something. And it extends to other homeland security stuff….at a time when terror thread is actually increasing.
Dude if that were true, I wouldn't be tripping over those crowds there.
Those parks would be so much better if half the people weren't there on any given day.

re: How much of what we're seeing now is directly because of F-35?

Agreed, but why would we legally prohibit F-22 sales if not for thinking that the F-22 is more important and better than the F-35? We're basically saying that we don't mind allies having top of the line SEAD and ATG attack capabilities, but worlds-best air superiority fighters are for us alone.
F-22 is export controlled by congress. And what we have found is that the extra performance of the Raptor isn’t entirely necessary when your enemy can’t fricking see you at all - but your display and even your helmet visor allows you to see every bit of live data collected from every source we have.
The F-35 features a lot of tech that will be the backbone of our future unmanned fleet.
The future isn’t dog fighting. We have the Raptor, F-15, and F-16 for that. And the F-35 is no slouch in that area either.
The future is lethality and range without detection and without pilots. Thats where the 6th gen aircraft investment is heading.
F-35 has proven to be an excellent multi-role fighter. Israel showed the world last year that it’s unwise to frick with anyone that has these in their fleet.
AEGIS and the technology to integrate tracking and combat systems into a consumable format.
Our ability to bring all of this information inputs from a powerful ecosystem of satellites, radar, Orion aircraft, etc to the warfighter is a game changer.
That kind of tech a big part of how the F-35 is so lethal. It can destroy you long before you ever see it.

This is going to hit a lot of companies in the next decade.
But another factor that people aren’t considering - a lot of companies also over hired in 2021-2023.

Standardized testing isn’t perfect. But it’s the best way to measure student achievement across multiple schools, regions, and states where academic quality varies.
A 3.7 GPA and a top 10 ranking in one high school is simply not equal to a 3.7 GPA and top 10 ranking at another.
I see no issue with a standardized test being applied to measure achievement and readiness. There is nothing wrong with making sure that our kids are ready.
