Should I sell or hold Chipotle (CMG)

Posted by Roscoe14 on 5/6/24 at 3:23 pm
Done pretty well with CMG over the past four years or so. But 14% of its restaurants are in California and the recent rise in the minimum wage for fast food restaurants (whose owner's aren't the governor's friends) has forced it to raise prices in that state.

Guy I know came back from something and his wife tries to kick him out of the house (i.e. his house).

Advice on buying something on ebay

Posted by Roscoe14 on 3/27/24 at 3:29 pm
My wife really likes a certain type of small ramekin and Amazon doesn't carry them anymore. They are available on ebay at a good price but I have never bought anything from that site before. I am not entirely comfortable giving out a credit care number to some anonymous guy on the internet. Is th...
