  1. They're making up for the downtime they experienced which I get. But I'm going elsewhere then. Haircuts are already expensive enough and half the time if you want a short fade they hack half your head off and you are done in 5 to 7 minutes. Hair dressers are supposed to clean up their station and utensils between customers anyway. Always have. There was no sanitation fee then. Maybe they're using clorox wipes now where they didn't before. Okay. That doesn't even remotely justify a $4 fee on top of an already overpriced service. Then if there is this expectation of a tip.. lol.
  2. It wouldn't. Just like I-Phones wouldn't cost $4,000 a pop if they paid Americans to assemble them instead of Vietnamese kids for 30 cents an hour. And if it did, well, then they shouldn't open a restaurant.
  3. I think we're &^@#ed. Missing Myers on this team is like missing Hamhuis on the 2011 squad.
  4. lol a $4 sanitation charge for getting a haircut. Any covid related fees are going to remain indefinite. Oh, and you can forget about tips anymore. Including restaurants. Not that they should receive any tips to begin with. It's not my job to do your employers job.
  5. Lots of dividend reinvesting. Never as many dividends as you'd like, however I think that was his sentiment too. But if a balanced portfolio can generate 25k between April and August, then why not sell, lock in gains and if the market reacts negatively to the election - buy everything dirt cheap with your entire portfolio in something more aggressive. If this doesn't happen, you miss out on a few months. Big deal. That was my thought process. The advisor advised against this, however, citing 1) you don't know anything the market doesn't already know and 2)beginning of 2021 could go poorly anyway, for example, because of reason 1. Timing the market unless you are professional you will likely lose and even the professionals lose often. Which again I already knew. This was more of a protective measure than anything else with the upside of making money.
  6. Anyway, I put a ton of cash into my portfolio last week but still have cash on hand so that's my contribution if the market implodes. The advisor I spoke to said it's fine. I asked about converting all to cash weeks prior to the election and holding all cash for a couple months and if nothing happens, nothing happens, I miss some gains, big deal. He said you can but doesn't recommend it. He said "trying to time the market" you are more likely to lose than win which I already knew. What do you know that the market doesn't already know? The election isn't likely to sway the market much either way but something unforeseen such as the virus back in March. Of course my concern being the latter when and if Dotard loses and refuses to leave because he's already talking about a third term. It's difficult to build your portfolio and lock in gains if you are dealing with these massive downturns every 6, 8, 12 months. The end of 2018 sucked. 2019 went well, but then March eroded all of that. Right now I'm doing well and ahead of where I was beginning of the year. But now ~8 months later it could potentially all implode again.
  7. I miss my managed portfolio because he made some awesome moves like Walmart, IQ, and CVNA for dirt cheap especially compared to now; then he also blew it (in my opinion) on others where we lost big all in an attempt to beat the market where I was hoping for a more conservative approach when things were in the red instead of a fire sale.
  8. Game is over. Boys getting severely out shot. Blues have all the momentum so the series probably is too.
  9. Boeser needs to get going. And Horvat as much of a beast as he has been can't go all or most of regulation without a shot. Too much firepower between the two; if either of them registered even a single shot maybe we don't play OT last night and are up 3-0.
  10. Figured. So people listen to 1040 for the pregame postgame? I listened to 1040 all the time years ago.
  11. Multi billion dollar industry. There's a reason why they don't let the public see the draft lottery behind the scenes.
  12. Was the goal waved off or not? Because there certainly wasn't enough to overturn it unless your objective is to do everything within your power to see the Blues win.
  13. Do you guys think it's worth putting 'a ton of money' into the market at this time with the election less than 3 months away, or wait and see what happens? My uncles are avid investors; one is hesitant to put any more money into the market at this time and the other is converting all to cash sometime in September. They think it's going to be a gong show.
