You put a lot of thought into that commercial. At least more than I did.

In the early 20th century you could even buy a house through the Montgomery Ward catalogue. Not too many years ago there was one still standing in NE Iowa that my mom pointed out to me.

My great great grandfather bought one from the catalogue one year for $2,000. Then bought the plumbing for it the next summer for another $2,000. House is still standing today in rural Boone county. My great grandfather sold it before he died in the late 1980's and the person living in it today used to work at the Ames Post Office downtown before she retired.

Whats the son taking up?

Also, telling your wife she looks 65 when she turns 50 doesn't probably work. I better remember my advice for this March.

He's not sure but is thinking about computer science. He's also not sure where he's going to college but ISU is a finalist.

I thought she was hilarious in Longest Yard with Adam Sandler and Beerfest. Seems she did a lot of cameos in movies. She had a long movie career.

Well, if CF financial advice is going to stay like this, I will listen more often. Up 10% in a matter of a couple hours.

Are you in on the game stop short?

Are you in on the game stop short?

No. I’m not that brave. Tried a little AMC and Nokia stock.

Montgomery Ward built a house mansion for his daughter in my hometown of Oconomowoc, WI on beautiful Lac La Belle. Here it is:

OH MY! That's quite the home.

The Steele Jantz thread getting bumped is pretty fun. This Emma gal posts with the best of them.

I better warn the daughter.

This one is for @Ms3r4ISU:
I'm seeing a word pop up on social media, and in memes, and it is really making me crazy: "Sike"

Psych. THE WORD IS PSYCH. We used it in the 70s, but it's older than that. I think it came from "psychological warfare".

Freaking lazy-ass spelling...

And now the true CF financial advice holds true.

That kind of manipulation implodes unless the person doing it is a savvy trader (or group of traders). And the savvy manipulation tends to dance on the legal/illegal line.
