re: I need quick access to 75k-100k. What’s the best course of action?
Posted by Roscoe14 on 5/12/24 at 10:41 am
I only have my own experience to go on, but I would say no. I was buying a lot to build on and had equity in my home which was well in excess of the lot value. The bank still required a hefty cash down payment....
re: First world problem of the day
Posted by Roscoe14 on 5/10/24 at 4:50 pm
We went through the drive thru at Cupbob for takeout. We had Rudy the spaniel with us.
Usually when the girl at the drive thru sees Rudy she is amazed at his cuteness and gives him a chicken nugget. Rudy was whining in anticipation, but this time it was a different girl and there was no nugget fo...
re: Should I sell or hold Chipotle (CMG)

[quote]Would you buy more right now at this price if you had the cash to do so?[/quote]
I might if I were younger. At this point I am trying to reduce the percentage of large caps in my portfolio in favor of more fixed income. I guess what I am saying here is that I am looking for large caps to...
Should I sell or hold Chipotle (CMG)
Posted by Roscoe14 on 5/6/24 at 3:23 pm
Done pretty well with CMG over the past four years or so. But 14% of its restaurants are in California and the recent rise in the minimum wage for fast food restaurants (whose owner's aren't the governor's friends) has forced it to raise prices in that state. Maybe it is time to dump?
On the othe...

Guy I know came back from something and his wife tries to kick him out of the house (i.e. his house). It seems wife has been seeing a fortune teller who was telling her that hubby was having an affair with "a blonde in a red convertible."
He is trying to find out what is going on and she is shout...
re: Why do so many people refer to SUVs as "trucks?"
Posted by Roscoe14 on 4/27/24 at 6:05 pm
[quote]I guess I've only heard older men say that[/quote]
Like me, I suppose. The first SUV I bought a couple of decades ago was classed by the manufacture as a "light truck." I understand that this was to take advantage of the less stringent milage standards for trucks rather than autos....
re: What kind of cheese for a cheesesteak?
Posted by Roscoe14 on 4/12/24 at 5:14 pm
It's a little extra work but I make a cheese sauce.
Melt half a stick of butter, stir in four tbs of flour and cook it a bit, then stir in some milk until it gets smooth. Then melt in a bunch of sharp cheddar until the taste is right.
Spoon it right onto the sandwiches....

This.
A buddy of mine and I flew in for a game. After a 40 minute bus ride we got to the rental facility and there were no cars. There was a line of people who had reserved cars, but no cars.
We finally spotted a truck that had a wind...

Advice on buying something on ebay
Posted by Roscoe14 on 3/27/24 at 3:29 pm
My wife really likes a certain type of small ramekin and Amazon doesn't carry them anymore. They are available on ebay at a good price but I have never bought anything from that site before. I am not entirely comfortable giving out a credit care number to some anonymous guy on the internet. Is th...
