Sell puts on some companies like GIS, PFE, etc.

If you get put to shares you own the shares at a lower BE, if you don't get put to shares you get to keep the premiums and can do it again. They are solid, high dividend companies that you don't mind being put to shares for.


Another one that is a little riskier is SA. They are mining company worth 1 billion. They are working on a deal with bids from 3 companies that will be worth over a billion...doubling their value. That stock should go from $36 up to like $70
ThinkorSwim is great though. That is the only reason I have mine is for their charting

I'm planning to open one up for the free $1k, but I don't see myself doing anything with it beyond that. There are already better benefits with START/529 accounts for education, and while having a downpayment fund sounds nice in theory, the fact that it automatically transfers ownership to the kid the day they turn 18 gives me significant pause.


I don't plan on having kids, so ill admit to being the grump here on this.

When student loan forgiveness is talked about as other people paying off other peoples debts, why is this any different. Why are my tax dollars used for other kids accounts? It's pretty socialistic to take my money and redistribute to other people. It all comes off as a gimmick to put Trumps name on something else
I am late to this thread, but condolences to Wes's family. Tough loss for CFB fans in the south. Rest in peace

AD should call Paul and Lamont to his office at once so he only has to give the fired speech once.


:lol: :lol: I laughed at this.


I am just imagining it being the inverse of when some shitty companies do multiple interviews at one time.

Balk! Then everyone yells BALK without any one person actually really knowing what or why they're yelling.


I used to like when the opposing pitching coach would go out for a mound visit and come back

3rd base would go " Trot trot trot trot TRIP " as he got to the line.

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug, but theres a lot I would spend money to go back to. In that same vain, watching a good basketball game at the Colosseum

Nothing beat a SC baseball game at the Sarge. Fond memories..


100%

Same ole crowd. I basically grew up at games at the sarge.
...because we reap what we sow.


This is a product of the 9 game schedule mostly

Yeah, what does that guy know. I’d rather take your word for it.


That guy knows how to push a hot take on national tv that gets clicks/reactions. Surely you arent taking something someone says on one of shows as an informed take are you?
quote:


I don't know what all this is about but apparently Flaujae has a net worth of 7 million dollars. That is wild for a college athlete, so mom isn't wrong that Flaujae is in rare company


Again the real issue is that the mom decided to attack SC players/parents . Logically it made no sense. She was upset at what she saw/heard on the internet, but that wasnt SC players/parents. That was fans.


She also isn't exactly a model parent. Her other child isn't exactly an angel, and the money she is referring to setting her kid up with is made from her late husbands career. She is kind of acting like what he did for their family is her doing.

She was definitely wrong about being the best player, and probably wrong about SC having no lottery picks.
yeah those numbers don't matter. Maybe statistically he is the best, but until he shows out in the postseason, or in the NBA...its Rose

To add to the numbers, in the postseason his PPG rose to 20.8, 6.5 Rebounds, and 6 assists. He took that memphis team to a national championship, and was the #1 overall pick.


Ill also throw John Wall in strong consideration. He was incredible under Calipari. SEC POY, SEC ROY, Led UK to an Elite 8.


It just seems incredibly premature to crown this guy as Caliparis best when some many great guards have come through his system
uh....Derrick Rose? Without the injuries that guy was on track to be a top 10 player all time potentially.


Sorry, but this kid isn't better than Rose

LSU South Carolina was on primetime ABC so Im sure that helped


There is something on primetime everynight. Sure it helped some, but people wanted to watch that game. ABC did a great job of marketing it and making it seem like its a rivalry

Queue that Gif from Pirates I think


"First time here?" and put SCs logo over that dudes head. Because we have been dead...Welcome.

She the one with the wideset alien bugeyes?


nah thats Angel Reese. Flau is the one who had the rapper dad, who we played his music at the end of the game after beating them.

Which again...its okay to be upset at that DJ, but the players of SC...whack
I have zero issue with her mom taking shots at SC fans. We have been rowdy and loud (in response to LSU fans) but still we have. We made her crying at the end of the game a meme. So fair game


But making assumptions about the girls at SC and their parents. Thats whack af. Throwing her own teammates under the bus? weird. And to act like she was the best player in that game....lol "who gonna guard Tessa" not "who gonna guard Flau jae"
Its okay Ole Miss fans...thats us too. Ill have to wait until 2072 for another one

I want the old timers to set aside their hatred of UNC and all that went down in the past and just answer this one question.

Do you think we'd be more competitive in the ACC in the big three? Then, how much would we be losing in revenue?


nope, won't set aside the hatred for the conference itself. frick em'

Was that Joyce's 4th or 5th foul?


I think that one was on Okot. Joyce was already gone by then. Joyce's 3rd and 4th fouls were bullshite, but her 5th foul was a legit foul if I remember correctly

bigD I suspect your bench will outscore our starters -

Lamont was trying to gloss over UF's height as no big deal in the 95-48 arse cutting in his post game presser a couple weeks ago - Gators might be sloppy or slow early but Carolina is floating in the abyss with no leadership -

Gamecock basketball has never been this bad in our SEC history - and we've had Steve Newton and Darin Horn as head coaches - Paris' assistant staff is slaw - no teaching or development what so ever -


yeah its really bad...It feels like 2 of the 3 big sports will have a new head coach at the least, and thats assuming that Beamer turns it around. Really it could be 2 of 3 and Shane gets an extra year because of $$.

Tough time for Gamecock sports
