Its been a long week, no? Well, it is mostly over with now. I understand this is a big weekend for Las Vegas, Nevada with the basketball and the good weather and all. Nevada is still one of the hardest hit areas of the country, so if you are going to “Lost Wages”, please enjoy [...]
Big D Asks, "What’s the Weather Today? Hot?"
Editor’s Note–Saints alive! I just sat there shaking my head as it looked like Florida was going to beat Byu 70-68 in regulation and give usnot one, but TWOlosers. But, oh no. Not when the gambling gods look down favorably upon you. Oh no. A few minutes later with Florida’s overtime victory we were sitting [...]
Company Voluntary Arrangement agreed for JJB
For the second time creditors have voted in favour of a company voluntary arrangement, CVA, for sports retailer JJB.
Aspetta! Arrete! Chill………
I think you might’ve gotten the Italian and French words (loosely translated) in the above title, when I put the 3rd word everyone should understand. Gotten a few of these lately, “Um, Richie, the stock markets are actually going up since I shorted them when you told me.” My answer is, “Yeah, slightly.” But stocks [...]
Pay Up White Man
This is going to be a little bit long but its worth it.
You know what a pet peeve of mine is? When people are VERY impolite to service personnel. You know, like waiters or waitresses, airline stewardesses, even blackjack dealers. I mean here are people WORKING and trying to better themselves, while doing jobs that [...]
I Got Your Dividend Right Here, Handsome
So the Fed just disallowed Bank of America’s (BOA) attempt to pay a dividend to shareholders for the 2nd half of the year.Geez, how badmusttheREAL balance sheet be at BOA? I mean the Fed let a few banks like JPM Chase and Goldman Sachs pay dividends and buyback stock, and I KNOW the TRUE balance [...]
Baby You Can Drive My Car
Was talking to Eric this morning about cars. You see, Eric previously posted how he bought a GMC Acadia and was pleased with the deal he got. And he’s happy with the car’s performance. Mr. Salzman’s “clan” is bigger than mine, so I don’t quite need a machine that large. The missus is kind of [...]
Beat the Wiseguys!
I’ve told this story before, but it’s worth stating again. I think the story was triggered in my minddue to theBLIZZARD I was enduring while returning my rental car this morning to the lovely Croton on Hudson, NY, a mere 35 miles north of NYC.And yes, it wasSNOWING sideways. On the first day of spring. [...]
Big D Now Asks, "Who’s Your Handicapping Daddy?"
Editor’s Note–Well the 5 game blistering Big Dick winning streak got stopped last night with GONZAGA running into the “Jimmer Machine”. A steamy, hot run. Nice try to get 6 in a row Big D, but Jimmer can shoot from halfcourt. A word to the wisest, be careful picking against he and BYU going forward. [...]
Big Dick Asks, "You Talkin’ To ME?!?"
Editor’s Note–Like the sun rises in the East, sets in the West, and a wild bear goes poopie in the woods, Big Dick has gone en fuego, once again in the month of March. By 5:30pm eastern yesterday, if you listened to Big D, you had 3 tantalizing winners in your pocket, and ZERO losers. [...]
