So I have 500 shares of HGRAF b/c of this thread. It's my first time ever buying a stock and I can afford to lose it.

I have about $5k more I could use to buy this but losing that would be a much harder pill to swallow.

Are we thinking this stock has some potential? I keep waiting for reports or any news really, but nothing. I don't know if I should throw that $5k on NBIS or go all in on HGRAF.

What advice would y'all give to a first time investor?

Are we not thinking it'll go up? I'm ok with a long term hold. I didn't invest a huge sum

I've got a coworker that will pin a $20 bill to her shirt in the office and then walk around expecting others to pin more money onto her shirt. In 10+ yrs, no one ever has, but it doesn't stop her from trying.

Happened to a friend's mother. She is in her late 60's and a widow. She has a master's degree from Vanderbilt, holds down a professional job where she is well regarded and is not an idiot... normally.

They told her she had a warrant out with the Nashville PD and needed to send them money. It was a weekend, so she couldn't get more than like $800 out of an ATM, so they told her visa gift cards would work, so she went to Publix and bought $5500 in gift cards and told the scammer the card #'s etc over the phone.

I don't understand how any reasonablly intelligent person can fall for this, but she says it was very convincing.

Maybe I'm a jackass, but id just tell the scammer to come arrest me and I'd have my wife bail me out. Anyyhing that I could reasonably be arrested for, traffic violation warrant etc, should have a much lower bail than $17k lol

I was confirmed in 8th grade. I don't remember bunch about it. It was just something everyone in the class did. I think we all took more time picking out a new name then really realizing the seriousness of the sacrament. 95% of everyone I've ever met is Catholic so itt was just something you did

My teenage son wants a hat that looks like this, only with state of Louisiana instead of Florida


Rope or not, he doesn't care. I could've sworn someone posted one here years ago. Any idea where I can buy one?

went to one of the public high schools that is highly regarded on here and a good 50% of the student body were dumb, trashy kids. Many did a lot of drugs

I went to a Nola top tier private in the 90s and I can tell you drugs were very prevalent there too. Rich kids doing coke etc. Drinking was also excessive and pretty much encouraged by parents as they facilitated a lot of it

I loved my high school, but to say drugs aren't a thing in privates is just wrong

I see barbers using some kind of powder on hair now.

You have to bring in someone who appeals to a young audience. NFL is after a young demographic that includes women. Kendrick may not be your cup of tea, but he's HUGELY popular with anyone under 35. Dude has a Pulitzer.

I think T Swift would be probably one of the best to attract a wide audience and make them happy.

Go back to collab performances. I loved that Britney Spears, N Sync, Aerosmith, Run DMC show back in early 2000s. Of course I was young. My Dad probably hated it lol

I wouldn't mind some "classic" band like Green Day, Foo Fighters, Metallica etc mixed in with Bieber, Olivia Rodrigo, Eminem etc
