Thank you SMOKIE.....LOL....just pointing out the obvious. I will...stomp my feet, hold my breath, turn blue in the face, and whine,.....all I want. Of course this all ties in with my long time RANT........ about the markets disconnecting from and ignoring fundamentals.......which over time (15 to 30 years) will lead to the destruction of the markets......as even the long term becomes nothing but speculative GAMBLING. AND....with my life expectancy....I will not be around to say.....I TOLD YOU SO.
Just wasting time now playing with content on here. Microsoft stumbles even as Q2 results top estimates https://seekingalpha.com/news/4543505-microsoft-stumbles-even-as-q2-results-top-estimates "Seeking Alpha analyst Vinay Utham said at first glance, the results were “strong,” amid a top- and bottom-line beat. However, he attributed the decline in the stock to Azure, which grew 39% in the quarter, compared to 40% growth in the previous period. “The stock is tumbling after-hours and if the minor drop in Azure is the reason, then in my view, it is certainly an overreaction,”" DUH. POOR MSFT and AAPL......the usual market whipping boys. We will see about AAPL tomorrow. We will have to wait till February 25 to see if the DISRESPECT continues for NVDA.
And not to bash TSLA....but they are up by over $7 after hours....in spite of: Revenue fell for the third time in three quarters, and sales for the full year declined for the first time on record. Net income plunged 61% from a year ago in the quarter, as operating expenses jumped 39%. I am NOT bashing TSLA....just pointing out the IDIOCY when it comes to MSFT....considering that second guessing what a company decides to spend on CAP EX......is a JOKE.....when earnings are BOOMING and across the board BEATS.
OK , well, I fixed a shower faucet that was leaking, but struck out on the range burner, it probably would have worked if I just connected the wires to where there labels are ......... BUT , I've never screwed around with these new fangled INDUCTION burners before. Guess what , they have 7 wires going to them. NOT a TYPO ..... 7 wires to a burner..... 1a 2a 1b 2b etc., but they were in different locations on the burner I brought along. So instead of possibly frying a $1,800 stove. I'll bite the bullet and order the correct $200 burner , YES $200 for a single burner element. NOW that I have that out of the way ........ Crap..... I did Pretty Good today ..... UP .33% ..... Shoot that's enough $$,$$$ for decent kitchen remodel OK I'll quit bitching now, Going to take the Wifey out for her birthday, anyone that can put up with my ass for 40 years deserves a meal out for her Birthday !!
Having had induction for the last 13 years, I love it! It does not heat the room like gas and electric, and boils water much faster than electric. Gotta have compatible cookware, but I could not imagine using the other two anymore. But yeah, you need a pretty fat run of copper to get a range installed. 3,000 - 4,000 watts.
