I too have benefitted from Apple's runup, but my paper profits are a bit sort of $40 gigalarge.

I had bought a small amount for the wife's IRA and then sold out last August.  Bummer.  I should have put in a stop loss order and let it run.

The NCAA Sport Science Institute released an updated report to help provide guidance to schools to help protect student-athletes and prevent the spread of COVID-19 Thursday. Per the NCAA.org release, “the guidelines are designed to inform schools in responding appropriately based on their specific circumstances and in the best interest of returning college athletes’ health and well-being.”

And while these are general recommendations, the NCAA noted that “many sports require close, personal contact and require specially crafted guidelines.” Among the biggest recommendations were:

Daily self-health checks.
The appropriate use of face coverings and social distancing during training, competition and outside of athletics.
Testing strategies for all athletics activities, including pre-season, regular season and post-season.
Testing and results within 72 hours of competition in high contact risk sports.
“Any recommendation on a pathway toward a safe return to sport will depend on the national trajectory of COVID-19 spread,” said Brian Hainline, NCAA chief medical officer. “The idea of sport resocialization is predicated on a scenario of reduced or flattened infection rates.”

Follow the money.  Being top 20 in the nation = good.  Being in the same division as half of the top six, including 3 of the top 4 outside of the state of Texas = problem

The Nebraska athletic department turned a $12 million profit during the 2018-19 fiscal year, according to a USA Today report.

The yearly USA Today database includes information on 227 athletic departments budgets. Nebraska ranked 21st in total revenue, bringing in slightly more than $136.2 million. NU spent $124 million in total expenses. The $12 million in profit is second-most in the Big Ten, behind Indiana, which made $13 million.

Nebraska was seventh in the Big Ten in revenue, just behind Iowa and Michigan State and ahead of Minnesota. The Huskers were eighth in spending, ahead of Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Rutgers and Purdue.

Texas brought in the most revenue at $223.8 million, and Ohio State was the highest spender, shelling out $220.5 million to fund the athletic department.

Illinois Wesleyan is voting today or tomorrow to eliminate a lot of liberal arts departments, and is looking toward transforming to accommodate career-minded students. 

Heh. No shit.


In a fateful decision, Illinois Wesleyan University is considering eliminating a number of core humanities programs — including philosophy, religion and sociology — in order to adapt to what it sees as growing student demand for career-oriented classes.

The university’s Board of Trustees is set to vote on the cuts at a private meeting Thursday afternoon. Also on the chopping block are programs in anthropology, music, French and Italian. The changes won’t go into effect this school year but could prevent future students from majoring or minoring in those subjects.

hopefully my advisor checked this one

my portfolio is back above where is was in February

so is my daughter's 529 plan

We picked it up at $125.00. C/Should have bought more, but... but...


Anyway, I'm up roughly 10% on the year as a whole, so I'm not going to bitch about anything. 

I don't feel bad for those who panicked and sold out on emotionally driven behavior. They lost their ass, while creating nice buying opportunities for those of us who stayed the course. Never bet against the Fed, is my motto. They have a lot of ammunition, and they have plenty more if needed.

There is your public service announcement for today. :)

I'm doing pretty well this year.  My dad wanted to panic-sell, I didn't let him.  He should probably thank me to the tune of around $185,000 but I don't see that happening... ;)

$185K would get you an AMG GT. I'd have a talk.

I've told him many times that I'm not counting on his money for any of my family's needs, it's his own and he should use it as he sees fit.  The flipside of that, is that I don't want to be paying for any long-term assisted living he might eventually need, so he better spend his money wisely. ;)

Even so, I know both sets of GPs have put aside money for my kids' college education, so that's nice.
