Walking around on campus for the game and I walked by the military science building and noticed the 2 cannons are stripped from their bases. Anyone know what the deal is?
So is now the time to buy? I wonder what book value is vs share price. If they are turning it around or selling, might it be time to pick up some shares?
Haha- actually, that's a good point... I'll ask about 0 down.
Open to whatever can get me a cheaper rate but looking to do 60 months. I feel like the rate cut for going shorter isn't really worth it. Car brand is a new jeep wrangler. Doing 10% of total ending out the door price (including fees & TT&L). With rates so low, I can't bring myself to do 20% or more down.
Anyone have any general idea who has the best rates in NOLA/Metairie for a new car purchase? Anybody have good or bad experiences (hidden fees etc)?
I hate my life. Buy 8.70, sell at 2.30. It pulls back to 1.77, I consider buying and didn't.... then it shoots back to over 2.30.
Haha- dang it! I missed it. I didn't buy when I was asking Friday...

re: Credit Score Milestones

FICO 772 checking in.... They said my credit card debt was too high compared to my cash balances on hand. I pay all my expenses on my cards and float work expenses but I always pay my balances in full so I never pay interest.... I guess the high revolving balances are what might be keeping me below 800....
Down into the mid 1.70s... anybody think the hammering is more severe than deserved? Any reason to think we might get a little rebound in the next week or so that might pull UGAZ back to $2 or higher?
Just wondering if I am right thinking that since injections have been high and are expected to be higher, that we have a chance that they are over-estimating injections and that is being priced in right now. If this is the case, when actual injections roll in, they would fall short of the sky-high expectations, which would lift futures and UGAZ. Just wondering if this seems reasonable as an option.
So what are the catalysts that will drive it between now and the next injection report? I still don't have any idea what makes the needle move here. I am currently on the sidelines and I definitely understand the decay factor, but am I correct in thinking we could see a swing up if future production expectations become too strong based on recent injections leading to price movement in favor of UGAZ?
In to provide a little motivation and encouragement:

Fact: totally worth it to hang in there and fight till you pass.

I might be missing it- all I see is the results of last report; not info on what the expectations are for this week- where would we find that?

ETA: Besides some untimely stock plays over the last year, there aren't many things I regret buying. I did spend a few grand over the course of a year and a half when I was a freshman in college on a pyramid scheme- back then that was a lot of money to me. Other than that, I have an 11 year old vehicle which has been paid off for about 6 years, have saved and invested significantly over the 6 years I have been working, and have still gotten to do everything fun I have really wanted to do. I am probably going to buy a new vehicle this year that will make for a poor financial decision but if I take care of it and can drive it for another 10 years, I won't feel that bad about it.
I finally dumped my 1136 shares of UGAZ I had accumulated since the fall at a dollar cost average of $8.07 for a whopping $2.31 a share. I am now going to only invest in T-bills until I die.
All you people who wanted a $2.00 buy in, now is your chance.
So you feeling like we will get the price of UGAZ on a run? At this point, I'd be happy to get out at 3.25 and take my medicine....

so if I am one of those fools who bought UGAZ back in the fall at $8/sh, is today a good day to get out and take my losses or is there any reason to believe I will be able to cut into my losses more in the upcoming months?
I'm hoping for a bullish run over the next couple of weeks due to the cold and then I might take my losses. Having 1146 shares at $8.05, if I can get up to $5 a share, I might roll- heck $6 a share would be a huge victory at this point.

I definitely botched it investing in this. First, I didn't understand decay at all when I bought. Luckily, I made $1k Thanksgiving week after holding a week in the mid teens. I bought back in when it pulled down to $11, then bought in more at $4.70. Originally, my plan was that natural gas has to get more expensive in the winter and I would ride it up, take some gains and bounce. I didn't think at all about the possibility that demand was already priced in and I had huge downside risk due to production being high and demand being below the level priced in. Good lesson for me- making a quick buck doesn't work out well in many cases. Once I eventually sell this position, never again trading triple leveraged commodities.
