re: VOOG 6:1 split on 4/21

Would agree, it's irrelevant to current Vanguard clients but may be very relevant to prospects. Same yield, same balance, same holdings for most part...but prospect will go with the one their mind deems "less expenisve" to have more of something.

Psychologically, I think Vanguard needed to do this to compete with SCHG and even QQQM. Being that you can only own fractional shares of Vanguard stock by purchasing "in house" I imagine they are seeing a slower growth in new capital at such high share prices to these ETFs vs other growth and tech etfs. Bottom line, anchoring at lower price.
One of the most underrated guys on the Americana scene. Dunno why Bones isn't bigger.

Also Jeremie Albino is my top pick to see.

Afternoon & Coffeespoons shouldve been the lead single. Band wouldve had a different arc. But that's an amazing album

Struggling to see how they make any money. Budget is insane!
It's incredible. Would you pay $12 for an incredible dessert at a restaurant? Very likely.

There's something about the texture that is very different than any soft serve or ice cream I've ever had. It's like a hybrid gelato/yogurt/ice cream. Almost feels like it doesn't melt at all and its not harshly cold either. Maybe Alton Brown could break it down.

Comes down to your perceived value for your dollar. I'm not buying a $12 dessert every night f my life but certainly will occasionally for what I value as a great product I like and enjoy.

As always, loving the undercard. Fust, Bones of Jr Jones, Lance Roark were all bands we were just discussing in the album of the year thread. Don't know a few but will be researching.

Don’t understand how Bones of J.R. Jones isn’t bigger than he is. Consistently puts out incredible albums

Always love the Hogs undercard. I thought they held their own vs Zach Top.

The album of cover songs?
Good. Prefer the Fust and Brown Horse albums.
While it's 2:17 Del Shannon - Runaway

and in that kinetic vein, Roy Orbison - Running Scared

New album Heartbreaks and Last Goodbyes should be on your radars if looking for southern rock. It’s a sound that’s almost extinct these days and done very well. A little bit softer than Blackberry Smoke w some Crowes essence. For those looking for absent rock, this is worth the listen

If you don't understand it...don't invest in it.

Have you had a colonoscopy? When they feed you that white milk and knock you out...you are out. You cannot fight it. There is nothing to fear. When you're gone, you're gone. Why fight it with useless worry.
"The House of the Rising Sun" The vocals are so strong and the emotion is so palpable it transcends time. I think with modern polish it would still be huge. Could even be huge in its original analog form
Great album. They don't stray much from their norm but they're damn good at it.

Bonanza is disgusting. Bulk grapes not Caymus grapes. So many additives
