Great place to live. Quality of life. 4 seasons none brutal. No state income tax. Serenity of the Smoky Mountains. Values with faith. We are Blessed.
Oddly both our sons were at Texas A&M when we moved here for no reason other than the above. We were born, raised and lived in TX all our lives. They ended up following us here after college. Kids don't follow parents. Double blessed we are that's for sure.

I love East TN. Parents lived there for a decade and bro/sis went to HS and college there. People are good, scenery is top notch and Freedom still rings.
Only downside for me was local cuisine was lacking but my parents lived in the Tri-Cities so that's not surprising. I don't have enough data points inside Knoxville.

I'll see if I know anyone that is affiliated or knows something about them. I am not in that area but maybe someone around here consults to them or something.Aggiesincebirth said:FJ43 said:

Can you do a little inside job deep dig on a company called Novonix out of Chattanooga Tennesee?
Graphite related as well and has backing by Phillips 66. Interested to see how this plays into our battery plays. Not new info btw just wondering since I had no clue you are living in Tennesee.
Also since Covid is over, can we start happy hours up? We been saying this since Covid started but would love to meet some people on this thread.

Guys - I have a confession.
In a few days, I'll be retiring this account. So you'll no longer see my dank maymays or funny/kinda relevant gifs to other people's comments. It's been a fun ride trading with y'all and I've learned a lot. Can't go into more details at the present, but Ill still be on here following along. It's just under different terms and a new account as life is changing for me a bit with. It's been an honor and to say this is the best damn thread and community of gentlemen is an understatement! Best wishes!

First and foremost I hope all is ok. You will be in my prayers and we will all be sad to see you go. Very sorry to see this but I also respect you making tough decisions that are best for you. I hope you will at least chime in occasionally to let us know how you're doing.
God speed brother. We will miss you.

Thank you FJ! It's all actually great things happening - just need to be a bit more careful about what I say online and post/have posted. So I'm retiring this account in order to not have what I've said/posted over the years brought up/affect me in future business endeavors. Everyone knows how the world is "woke" now.

If you bought with an overly large position, though, I recommend you sell most.

funny story for you guys: my Dad is one of those people that thinks he is an expert at everything and he told me he would be a better trader than me. He has zero trading experience. I wanted to spare him from disaster, so we had a trading challenge this week. I made him use paper trading and I traded with real money. He blew up his account and the week isn't over yet. He put 50% in spy calls on Monday, sold them on Tuesday, recovering ~40% of the 50%. He wagered everything on spy OTM puts on Wednesday, didn't stop out. He's holding out hope for the SPY to hit 400 tomorrow.

So did he admit you're a better trader? Or did he say he's right, just not right now, and next pullback call you up and say he told you so, not understanding that the inability to time these things is why most people lose at options?
Totally respect your decision R&F and I would likely do the same thing in the situation you have eluded to. For what it's worth, I stocked your posts via your profile, skimming about 200 posts in total, and I did not find a single thing I thought the woke-brigade could attack. Re-remembered a few things about you, such as, your a pretty talented giffer, and you really hate it when Gen Xer's like me call you a snowflake.Rice and Fries said:
