    The Definitive Solution to the Upstate NY Question

    Even if it does it will be years before it opens. Shell announced that they were going to build the Shell Petrochemical Complex in western PA in 2012. My company sold them some production machinery in 2015. They are just starting those machines now. Who knows when they will actually go into...

    Market Philosophy

    Stay away from crypto. I looked into it and the one question that convinced me stay away was, "What problem does it solve?" Other than money laundering.....nothing. There is no "there" there. Well. That question and when I saw it being sold at mini markets.o_O I thought I would be better with...

    Market Philosophy

    I stay away from individual stocks. I used to work for a division of Total (the big French oil company). We were offered stock options at 15% below trading price. I thought that was a no brainer. It was trading in the $90's and I was paying in the $70's. Today it's trading at $53. I still get a...

    Games of Some Olympiad

    New York just gave a billionaire $850 million to build a stadium in Buffalo so he can pay players hundreds of millions to play football. Every study ever done shows that stadium money does not come back in the form of taxes or jobs and is just a big giveaway. They can't afford to pay billions...

    The College Thread: Skiing, Academics, Experiences.

    Don't be afraid to check out the private schools. My daughter got a full ride to UConn but my son who had 4 AP classes in high school and high a SAT score was offered a "second tier" scholarship at a private school which consisted of a group of scholarships from former alumni and other sources...

    Fighters pilots have pressure suits. I guess you'd look kinda silly wearing one on a roller coaster.

    Market Philosophy

    Car dealers are catching up with the rest of world. I've sold manufacturing production lines for over 30 yrs. It used to be that standard parts like valves, temperature controllers, instruments, etc. were on the shelf and shipped in a day or two when you ordered them. For the last 20+ years the...

    Market Philosophy

    Companies are making record profits including Oil companies and the chip shortage will soon be over and the car market and other chip dependent industries will be back on their feet. Agree that if I buy now it may go down farther but it will go back up past the buy price and outperform other...

    The Indy Pass

    I just bought mine. (Used the link, Harvey.) I find it a great value for someone who doesn't have a season pass to one area. I used mine 13 times this past season which works out to $22.00/day. At $29.00 less than last year it should be a good value for me next year as well. I don't find the...

    ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

    As a higher number of EV's hit the roads, the states will have to find a way to make up for the lost gas tax revenue for maintaining roads and bridges. Some have suggested a fee per mile driven per year. That seems pretty fair. People who use the the roads the most pay the most. I don't know if...

    I saw an ad for skiing.

    The Indy Pass seems like about the only deal out there if you have the ability to use it multiple times.

    Brodie Mountain

    The article is dated April 1st, was not well written or researched (Tully?) and doesn't name a buyer. The listing agent would know if the "no skiing" covenant is still in place. Is this even real?
