It's a great idea till mom in her Tahoe decides to check Instagram mid-drive and fails to apply the brakes at a red light.

The only way any of this ever stops is if real hard time is dished out in heavy doses to all of these criminals.

Why would the left ever stop. The rewards (for them) are enormous and the penalties are usually light, or non-existent. Of course they'll keep grifting their taxpayers for all they're worth.

Time for Ron and Greg to send a ton of people with 1 way tickets to the Empire State

Exactly. I'm glad we have him but if he had Ole Miss on his jersey I would absolutely loath him. Luckily he pitched a great one for the good guys.

How did they end up vertical, belly to belly like that? Then ejecting like that.

I watched it about 10 times and I don't think they're belly to belly. I think the one that caused the crash ( the one that came in at a higher elevation) is piggy backed on the lower one but slightly skewed so that the cockpit of the bottom plane was clear for those pilots to eject too.

I think the tail fins of the bottom plane speared up into the under carriage of the higher elevation plane causing them to be stuck and fall together. If that top plane had been perfectly superpositioned over the lower plane you'd have 2 dead pilots because one crew wouldn't be able to eject. Luckily both cockpits weren't stacked perfectly on top of each other.

What are the quick Clif notes on what this guy did. All of Google, and left wing stories that Google pushes to the top after my search, are praising him as some hero so I know he's definitely a scum bag. I just don't know the backstory.

I appreciate the sincerest form of flattery, but LSU did it sooooo much better!

So I'm at Edward Jones with a money manager skimming 1% off the top every year and everyone here did a great job of convincing me that I'm an idiot.

So what should I do next? Keep my money at Edward Jones but pick my own investment options and ditch the guy managing my account...

OR go to Fidelity/Vanguard etc and leave EJ all together?

Hopefully, he hasn't locked me into EJ with golden handcuff type investments that will tax me heavily if I try to transfer to another investment management company.

How easy/difficult is it to get out of golden handcuffs?

For the record I'm about 20yrs from retirement and I've only been AUM with EJ about 5yrs

And narry a gun among 100s of people to take it down. If that cat was attacking a bunch of rednecks you can bet that video would have been a lot shorter.

I really appreciate all of the helpful responses, guys.

I would like to clarify that I have about 3k of "play money" that I was planning to use to see how I can do researching and investing that small amount on my own. Whether it's swing trading or taking a position in a company for several months or longer I guess I figured I'd learn a lot and maybe even figure out how to make some return on the 3 grand.

Also, what are everyone's thoughts on the best way to go about firing my money manager and venturing out on my own? Again, I plead ignorance on this sort of thing.

I'll start by saying that I read this board with some regularity and have always enjoyed the content and news about up and coming companies to keep an eye on.

That being said, I have never until this year put a lot of thought into actively swing trading or position trading. In fact, embarrassingly, all I've ever done is sock away money in my 401k and let my money guy at Edward Jones keep me diversified and on track for retirement.

Because I've never really pursued educating myself about investing until this year, and because none of my immediate family or close friends actively trade, I am finding that I'm floundering in my self education journey. So I have the following questions that I would really appreciate the MT boards help with.

1) What is a good resource (book/s, podcast, business journal, etc) for understanding a companies fundamentals and whether their stock price is under or over valued.

2)Where do you guys find out about up and coming companies to keep an eye on (any sector)

3) Once you find a company of interest, do you have a quick "formula" you use to assess if you want to get involved ( Revenue, earnings, assests vs liabilities, solid CEO etc) ?

Basically I'm trying to learn how to fish and not asking to be given a fish for free. Just a push in the right direction.
