re: Panicans in shambles over the market today.

And yet 40% higher than one year ago today and gained 6,715 in that time.
One year ago today, the Nasdaq was at 15,270 and had fallen -23.9% off of its peak of 20,056 from that February due to the tariffs. :lol:
Of course it's gonna be significantly higher one year later when compared to the low of a market crash.
As of today compared to October...
- Nasdaq is -1.7%
- S&P is +1%
- Dow is +2.7%
That's "largely in the same place", as I said. I hope it continues to go up from here.

What index are you looking at? The Dow Jones total stock market index reached an all time high of 69,049 in January, we're at 68,953 as of 1:30 today. We're several hundred points above any high in October.
The market isn't just the S&P 500 or DJIA.
The Nasdaq is lower than in October (reached 24,000, in the mid 23,000s today), and the S&P and Dow are higher.
The total market index funds, VTSAX, for example, was 164 at the end of October and just made it back to 164 today. Fidelity's total market index fund is the same at 189. We're largely in the same place.

Imagine where it would be without the COVID BS that shut the world down for months! SWIDT? Markets are unpredictable for a reason
Covid was a worldwide pandemic originating in China, Iran is an action of our own doing.
If Trump shut down Wall St. for months for no reason, you'd still come back with "markets are unpredictable"

How many of those are funded by Iran?
A good number of them, but of those, Iran is far from their only $ source and Iran will continue to fund them after we leave. It's like playing whack-a-mole in the Middle East and Africa, let Israel and others deal with their shite.
If we're going to devote $ towards fighting terrorism, I'd much rather us find a way to go to war with the terroristic Mexican cartels immediately to our south, not the desert-dwellers thousands of miles away.

By this logic, let's just start another 25+ wars against all of the countries/groups that the U.S. government considers terrorist organizations.

So, we should just allow a well-known terrorist group complete autonomy in the pursuit of arms. Or better yet, as those idiots Obama and Biden did FINANCE their pursuit of those arms?
Regardless of the accuracy of that statement, either way, the weapons are on the opposite side of the globe and not a threat to us.
Let Israel and their neighbors handle it, and invest the money spent on the war effort into the American people.

Some DEEP green on the market indexes today with everything pumping and oil prices tanking.
This is great news and I hope it keep going up, but the market is largely in the same place that it was several months ago at the end of October last year.
Imagine how high it would be if we didn't get heavily involved in a war that closed a major trade route.

I don’t think it would be a big struggle. I played in the club championship with a long hitter there and he hit driver, 5-iron I think.
Agreed. Very tough hole for amateurs, but topping out at 540, the pros would take 3 wood, 4 iron or something and be on or near the green for a likely birdie far more often than not (as long as they don't miss left on the approach).
They'd struggle more with hole 11 with the tight landing area and undulated green.

Wonder if the people that bought the old Sherwood CC have any interest or ability to open up 9 holes.
I would love for someone or BREC to purchase the golf portion of the Sherwood property.

The walking path at Audubon Park in NOLA can get somewhat close to the course at times. Haven’t had any issue there.
I just ran that Audubon path a couple weeks ago and it's much further away from the course at all points and also buffered by mature oaks, in comparison to what this graphic shows.
The Sasaki plans actually even use the cart path directly next to the hole and behind the green as part of the pedestrian walking/running/biking path, and vice versa.
Emailed the commissioners about the pedestrian loop that Sasaki is proposing that runs directly behind and next to fairways and greens, which is obviously impractical and dangerous. A perfectly good buffer already exists with the mature oak trees on the edges of the park to complete a dedicated walking/running/biking loop on E. Lakeshore, as people (myself included) already use E. Lakeshore as a pedestrian route extensively. Leads me to believe that Sasaki is incredibly naive about golf and City Park specifically.
No reply back after a day and a half as of yet.

We need more holes in Baton Rouge proper, not less. Especially with LSU closing.
Getting ice over here near Sherwood. It's 45 degrees. This is some of the most bizarre weather I've ever seen.

Would love if someone could record and upload a video of the meeting, considering it looks like there might not be video for this one.

re: Mortgage company didn’t pay property taxes from escrow and property placed on auction list
Posted by 904 on 2/18/26 at 12:38 pm to Ramblin Wreck
My mortgage company (Regions) carried over the wrong amount from one escrow statement to the next and poofed $3000 of my own money away out of nowhere. Because escrow is self-correcting, I only caught it after reverse-engineering the statements, and it took escalating 3 levels for someone to understand/admit they messed up.
Banks and mortgage companies have no consequences when they're only screwing over the little guy.

More like shrinking it to a third of the playable area, i.e., holes 2 and 3.
Replacing a full 9 holes with pitch-and-putt is like replacing a tennis court with pickleball, or a baseball field with a wiffleball field, and telling players it's the same sport because they can still swing a racket or a bat.
