@BarrySchwartzBW I remember in summer 2020 when many were righting off Buffett, saying he was washed up, from $180 to $480 (176%) in 4.5 years with a low risk profile!

Berkshire now has a $1T market cap. The stock is up 35% year to date. It has the 8th largest market cap in the U.S. just below the Mag 7. What an incredible story!

@brysondech Only took 134 tries….

What a journey

@DownToBlack Then why did the jays sign Chad green, a lot of money when they picked up his option and he wasn’t guaranteed sustained health at the time.

Romano Thoughts:

#BlueJays ⚾️🧵 Shoring Up The Bullpen *Possible Trades *Role Change *Value Signing *Quick Romano Thoughts Let's start here: Jays 'pen is currently their weakest link. But, it's also the easiest area this offseason that a team could fix. This move would obvs be a slam dunk:

@79_Best_year @cansportschick @kaylajohnsonatl I think your new here, $100/plate is standard low end, what do you pay when you go out for an evening with food and entertainment?

@cansportschick @kaylajohnsonatl We don’t gift cash. We’ll purchase from gift registry but I felt expecting cash is trashy behavior. Pay for your own wedding and honeymoon. Stop feeling entitled!

Another bit of audacity from the wedding groups today

@ineedsow @ErnestWongBWM Think for a minute how ludicrous your assertion is, most tech companies you are speaking of won’t come close to generating the earnings necessary to justify 20% of their valuation, don’t confuse Mega cap tech with the rest of the rift raft tech cos

The reason for this is because tech companies create new products, new revenue streams and new ways to boost income while nat has its the same old boring story. There is no reason to get very excited most of the time hence there are zero analysts on a call as you correctly suggest. $QQQ. Tech drives the world and our index higher.

Blows my mind that the largest natural gas producer in Canada has 2 analysts on the earnings call (sometimes zero), while a random tech company with $1b market cap would have like 15 analyst questions

@qcapital2020 Guy wouldn’t be renting a condo with his hindsight….

What a trader If i'm Druck, i would be worried Has all the qualities but more ruthless A legend is reborn We are so back Never loses money baby

@ShaneWilk41 @Molson_Canadian @leafguy403 You can’t use the leafs logo to commercialize products which he is doing, social media is no different than the old style commercials which has never been allowed (can’t use the leafs logo without written consent), pretty clear case here.

Good job @Molson_Canadian. You’ve essentially shut down the biggest Leafs super fan I know in @leafguy403 and upset the Leafs fan base as a result. Kurtis is a class act and his positivity resonates with everyone. Shame on you. Make this right Molson #LeafsForever #freekurtis

@KPapetti Domi’s hands take him out of the top six on any team…

The McMann - Domi - Nylander line has struggled in four straight games. I'd put Tavares back in the top six. I think a lot of people underestimate how good he was last season. He's definitely better than Domi.

@DividendDude_X Never judge valuation of a capex heavy business on operating cash flow, are you intentionally ignoring capex?

At Amazon’s $AMZN current price of 18x operating cash flow the AWS business alone would be cheap here… You are basically getting the market leader in e-commerce, and the fastest growing top 5 ads business for FREE. What a bargain huh? 🤔

@ForePlayPod These bozos saying club speed vs club head speed speaks volumes…

“Really low clubhead speed” is a WILD jab to throw at someone 💀

@ebitdaddy90 White collar janitor….i like that

@nobusiness17 It can provide sources. I would rather see a summary / meta answer than a page of fucking blue links I need to trawl through like some white collar janitor

Not a novel thought - but in a few years ppl will look back at search results that show links instead of answers as caveman shit. Same for video search. Perplexity/LLMs are actually useful search vs a page of links.

@DannyMackSport1 @JimHynesMtl @TheHockeyNews Exactly, I am not sure most people understand in hockey terms this wasn’t dirty, laine caused this to happen, did nothing to get his leg out of the way.

@JimHynesMtl @TheHockeyNews But that isn't the case here. His upper body makes contact.

NHL preseason summed up in one picture

@ericnuttall Been a tough year hasn’t it………

To be this bearish oil, the market must believe that: US shale meaningfully grows at $65WTI and the rest of non-OPEC/US '25 growth is entirely price inelastic, that demand is not boosted with the drop in price, that Chinese stimulus will be entirely ineffective, that OPEC cohesion is faltering, and that the plan to return curtailed volumes is not subject to market conditions IMO. That or the price at the moment is being driven by the paper market vs. the physical market, with a meaningful chasm between fact and fiction.

@TorontoMarlies @MapleLeafs Matthews and Hildeby!

Ticket giveaway? You’ve come to the right place. 🎟️ Let us know your favourite @MapleLeafs & Marlies player for your chance to win a pair of tickets to the Maple Leafs pre-season game on Sept. 26 AND the Marlies Home Opener on Oct. 12 👀

@ramit Accept housing is an asset that appreciates with inflation, the other examples are true consumption items.

Every dollar I spend on groceries, I save money on eating out: uncontroversial Every dollar I spend on making my own coffee, I save money on buying coffee at a coffee shop: uncontroversial Every dollar I spend on rent, I save money on homeownership: people lose their minds

@bnicholsonsmith Since you are into the numbers and typically don’t use eye ball assessments of baseball players, you should run the numbers on past deals, I am sure big deal relief arms return terrible ROI, why should the jays get fleeced. Don’t make the BJ Ryan mistake again!

In nine off-seasons under Mark Shapiro & Ross Atkins, the Blue Jays haven't guaranteed more than $11 million to a free agent reliever or gone beyond two years. This off-season, they should be open to making an exception: sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/ho…

@DownToBlack Glad he is locked up for the next 5 years! Pay a guy who hasn’t started, this is peak jays analytics!

Adjustments not sure, need to dive in in off-season Don’t think he’s guaranteed anything next season. Among highest walk rates in league… Last 7 Starts 6.04 ERA 4 IP per start 0-7 team w-l

@Vance_Roberts5 @PaulKforPres It is because you won’t be able to set it and forget it over 30 years, you will get the trigger figure at one point, happens to everyone, just depends on how naive one is to think they are different.

@PaulKforPres Honestly me either man. I’m really surprised it took me this long lol I was just emotional early in 2023 and missed on half of the gains so I decided to pay someone. But why not just leave it alone? Lol

I just cancelled with my financial advisors. They tried to keep me with them until after the election because of the “volatility”. I said it’s okay, I’m going to throw mostly all of it in the S&P and let it ride for the next 30 years. They chuckled and said “well we want to try to smooth that out for you a little bit”. I also chuckled and said it’s okay, I’m ready to ride it out. I could’ve easily had said no and then they would’ve hooked me in for another quarter of fees. Along with me rethinking the whole idea of cancelling, even though I know the better option. Now the fee isn’t much(about $1 a day), but like @KastleCapital has preached, why pay someone, when the S&P 500 beats 95% of advisors in the long term. I’ll bet on myself and the market🤷🏻‍♂️📈 Do you use a financial advisor for your retirement holdings? Why or why not?

@Daniel_Rapaport The fact that you don’t have any idea on how to make it better speaks volumes, golf is not a playoff type sport, the end of the season is just that, a wind down of the year. The playoffs happened already at the majors.

I’ve said it a million times I’ll say it one last time this season: the FedEx Cup playoffs need a rethink. Not delivering really on any front. I think you make the regular season the season-long race and then lean into something completely new for these weeks in August.
