re: Oktoberfest 2025

No travel agent, unless you count my wife,

#1 piece of advice, book hotels early. tables for Oktoberfest go live as early as March/April and prices for hotel seems to only get more expensive.

Be careful of 3rd party sellers of tickets or seats for Oktoberfest and do your research before hand.

#2 piece of advice, don't go a weekend unless you have a connection over there. We went for a weekend in 2023 and the only thing I can compare it to is Bourbon St. on Mardi Gras. Unless you know you what your doing, do a a weekday. Still the most fun we've had was a Tuesday night

I would adjust your portfolio distribution. There are better places to put your money than in your mattress.

You have a budget to buy 3 drivers and 3 team and can trade out throughout the season as prices change based on results.

Each race you pick/guess: podium, pole, fast last, # of safety cars and a bonus question that changes each week. Maybe a TD version could be created

Aurinia Pharmaceuticals shares surge on Gilead acquisition rumors
Shares of Aurinia Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:AUPH) saw a notable increase today, rising by 6.7% amid speculation about a potential acquisition by Gilead Sciences (NASDAQ:GILD). The rumors were sparked by the sighting of a Gilead jet at the Edmonton headquarters of Aurinia, suggesting that discussions might be underway. This comes after Aurinia's announcement in June about exploring strategic alternatives.
If anything, this stock has helped with some tax loss harvesting over the last couple of years.

Stay in Cape Town as long as you can and try to limit your time Johannesburg.

Sorry I can’t provide more detail, but a quick observation after spending 2 weeks over there a few years back. Also if you can squeeze it, try to book a safari

I have an extra hotel room at either the Hampton Inn across the street or the Hilton on the 15th if anyone is interested.

Just got out of IGC at 12.81 today after buying in at 1.56 for $100. Also got out of CRON at 10.71 after buying around 6.00 for $200. I may kick myself down the road, but might buy back in if we see a large correction. It was a fun 2 month ride. Good luck to everyone!
This is a great thread and very relevant to my life right now. Thanks everyone for the candid feedback/advice.

I would love to hear the pros/cons of setting up an S-Corp vs. LLC. I’m guessing it depends on the business you’re setting up, so let’s say it’s in marketing services with low overhead.
I wish I had seen this prior to tonight. We were in Cape Town last April for a week and there was a coffee shop/classic car showroom that was awesome. Dapper Coffee Co
I suck at adding photos, but this was a great spot for breakfast. My girlfriend and I want to go back badly
Bayou, care to share any thoughts on the stock you mentioned? I wouldn’t be looking for AUPH level detail, but any insight would be appreciated
I’m on KNDI, Chinese electric car company. Just had their Q3 results last week. LINK

Thanks for the note on KNDI. Got in at $5.75 and was flirting with $10 today. How closely are you following this?
I'm checking into the rant. Thought Mizzou had it. Guess I was wrong. I've had an account for awhile but haven't posted. Guess I'll start now
