[quote]GameStop didn't issue new shares. They stated they want to "shelve" 45 million shares. They can sell these anytime, but the speculation is they would want to sell these during a squeeze to add a lot of more operating capital. [/quote] They are prepared to increase their outstanding sh...

I’m the biggest Hurd fan on this board so I’m always rooting for him. Arguably the best stuff on the staff so he can go a long way toward helping LSU advance. ...

I loosely know one of the attorneys that represented the victims. He was able to parlay that into the tobacco lawsuits and eventual settlements. Needless to say he made an incredible amount of money. ...
[quote]Theoretically , ones parents could give their child , who has a family of four $144,000 a year tax free. $18k from dad to the family of 4 $18k from mom to the family of 4 At least that’s how I understand it.[/quote] They could also give anyone $27.2 million combined using their lifetime...
[quote]There is a zero percent chance he has a 45% strikeout rate over a full seasons worth of innings. Zero[/quote] Yeah I’m not suggesting he will, but he’s going to be elite for a starter. I could see 11-13K/9 ETA - basically DeGrom type of numbers are possible IMO. ...
[quote]holy sample size batman[/quote] Idk if he’ll keep it up, but he’s thrown 44 innings between minors and MLB and is averaging 14.9K/9. He was at 15.3K/9 at LSU. He’s almost certainly going to have elite strikeouts for a starting pitcher. ...
[quote]All this "just get me through five innings" crap has made the injuries worse.[/quote] That has a lot more to do with guys throwing harder than ever, on average, vs innings pitched. ...
[quote]means that is a pitiful performance rate. Baseball has 162 games a season and over a 14 yr. period that comes to 2268 games and those games are a minimum of 9 innings each so the total number of innings that he could have pitched in is 20,412. To only have pitched in 250 of them is an...
[quote]Yes. It’s 96mph and professionals looked like idiots swinging at it today.[/quote] I wonder if Paul knows where it is going. Some had serious arm side run and others just dove straight down at the plate. ...
The splinker is nasty as hell and definitely didn’t exist in this form at LSU, if at all. ...

[quote]If it's like other land there, it has minerals flowing and producing. He bought the land and built it, he knows what its worth[/quote] Honestly most wealthy people take a bath on “toys” like this lodge. Asking $40mm and getting it are two different things entirely. ETA- I’d imagine h...

Shares down another 17% in pre market after GME filed to sell stock. ETA- why would a stock that is being illegally shorted sell stock and let the shorts off the hook? Maybe nothing nefarious is going on at all?...

Paincourtville to Convent area seems to get a surprising amount of tornados relative to the surrounding areas. ...
[quote]The first polygon was amateur hour but the confirmed warning corrected it.[/quote] Yeah the storm stayed in it for about 20% of the polygon length. :lol:...
Damn, debris and everything in a MCS tornado like this isn’t very common I would imagine… [img]https://i.imgur.com/SzPAxum.png[/img]...
