If you left early today thinking nice big green day and logged in at close you were in for a nice surprise.

Yeah, ya right. Left mid to late morning to pick up lunch for a granddaughter's student grandparents' lunch at her school. Checked on trading account much later in the afternoon only to see that it is down more (dollar wise) than I can remember.

We will see what tomorrow brings.

Feel much better about my trailing stop loss hitting then I did when it filled at $106. But I got back in at $98.00 and have a limit order in for more at $80.00. Off for a round of golf so it will be interesting to see how things work out today. Promise to buy a beer after the round.

10/22/25 Dallas Love - almost no line for a 6 AM flight.;

10/28/25 New Orleans about 10 to 15 minutes in line.

I was pleasantly surprised how nice all the TSA people were considering they weren't getting paid as usual.

Damn I have my stop loss set at $104. Just saw I came close to getting closed out. Might be time to rethink that and set up a trailing stop-loss. Didn't think I'd need it at the time and set it up after we flew to $140.

---

Me too. I had a stop loss at $105 and some change. I replaced it with an $80 trailing stop loss.

Speaking of the “bubble”

I began buying NBIS and NVDA in January. Both have done so well that individually they represent about 10% of my brokerage account. I've done something I rarely do and that is put in trailing stop loss orders on both short term holds. I usually only use stop loss on stocks I've held long term. I have to do some end of year income tax estimations and big, short-term gains can give me headaches. But I had to do it to somewhat protect the huge runup these two have had.

Thanks to the MT folks for bringing these two (and some others) to my attention. I'll enjoy a Black and Tan this afternoon at my grandson's soccer game.

We have one tournament every year where we play a modified alternate shot. I forgot what the name of it is but both players tee off. You then pick the best shot and the player that did not hit that drive hits the second shot and with that one ball alternate the rest of the hole.

The 1969 LSU Tigers sat at home when the cotton bowl took ND. LSU would have had a great shot at winning that game.

---

The worst part of that situation was that ND had refused to go to any bowl games saying their student athletic season was long enough and they had to concentrate on academics. They changed their position on bowl games late that season after LSU and the Cotton Bowl had an understanding but before bowl invitations could be issued. If ND had said they would consider going to bowl games before season started or even midway through the season LSU wouldn't have got snubbed.

Great to hear from you. A lot of LSU baseball fans were worried when you apparently dropped of the board.

Harbor, Sellers, and Swain all looked very fast.
