    Was that really a bear market drop in stocks or ...?

    The usual 'sell high' at a huge volume by big money, which then scares other investors to sell and preserve some gains, and then when the price drops, the big money is the first in to 'buy low'. Which is it? Or a real bear market where stock owners are scared of the economy.

    Tiger Woods passes on reported $200 million to play on Saudi LIV golf tour, others do not pass

    That is a huge amount of money but Tiger doesnt need the money. The tour gave him everything, I think he still wants to try to win majors, at least one more major, he wants to win on the PGA tour rather than some diluted tour where the marshalls and rules people walking the course wear some...

    The major causes of inflation that people dont realize or talk about

    Cause #1: Credit Cards, credit crazy financial institutions, people who spend money they do not have: Credit cards, as we know, are not real money unless you have the dough to pay off your monthly charges. I remember the credit card industry and major loan institutions coming on in the late...

    The General Electric Jack Welch to John Deere effect on workers, etc follow on thread

    Business leaders and politicians who lick their boots are the cause of most all of the job losses and migration out of the US. Businesses and high paying CEO's got great tax breaks to gut companies. The binge of hedge funds and that process helped start the eat up the companies and screw the...

    Hawks winning big, losing close to teams like jNW, ISU, and others.

    I was just watching a youtube video of the Hawks blowout wins since 2012. I have always thought and have noticed how Iowa does blow out a fair number of teams even in conference play but they do not get blown out a lot in their losses. I think that says a lot about the overall strength of the...

    Your thoughts on molten salt nuclear fission reactors - yea or nay or I dont know

    You may have never heard of them. They were actually the first reactors built in the late 1940's thru mid 1950's. Two of these working reactors were built and ran a long time. Very safe designs. They can use existing spent nuclear waste as fuel. A lot of people like James Hansen of NOAA and...

    The April US jobs released - in regards to inflation, etc

    The report was just released. Jobs added totaled right at 430,000 and unemployment remained the same at 3.6%. Those are both really good numbers. I heard on another news outlet a few days ago that there are still many millions of open jobs. Which leads right into the news mentioned I heard...

    What is your choice for best or bad replacement window brand?

    I am not going to name any brands we have been looking at as not to insert any initial thoughts. Would love to hear from people who have installed replacement windows over the last 5-20 years with your thoughts on what has been really good or bad. Thanks in advance.

    Cold, cloudy and wet weather blues? I just watched the last 7 wins against Nebby!!!

    It cured me and that was just 2 nights ago on Monday watching the YouTube highlights. Then went golfing yesterday in slightly brisk but bright sunny, low wind conditions and that was great. How did the hawks get such mastery over the former Big Red? Well, Kirk's formula of not making...

    Who went to spring scrimmage and what are the big news items

    How did the OLine and qbs look? Running backs looking explosive? Especially how was the passing game? Were routes simpler yet better? Defense has such an emotional element to it that it is hard to judge anything on that side of the ball when they really are not flying around and crushing people.

    Pre-season SI top 25 with Minny in it.

    That was a surprise to me but the report said TMorgan back at qb where I thought he was done, you know, the bald head, the wrinkles. But no Morgan is back, Ibrahim is back I think but we will see if he is 100%. The article said Minny as tons of experience but I thought they were losing 4 of 5...

    Was Jon Budmayr unable to find a paid position or what is in it with his stop at Iowa?

    I just watched a youtube video of some sports talk show guys talking about the curious situation of Budmayr coming onto Kirk's staff as unpaid volunteer. Any of you have inside info as to this being a 1 year QB whisperer type of situation to help the qbs and Brian? Did Budmayr not have a paid...

    Covid-19 and Type 1 diabetes in those 18 and younger

    My wife just read an interesting study or data report, reported at least in JAMA and CDC, that after 2.5 years of Covid 19 children and adolescents 18 and under are 2.6 times more likely, a high difference, to develop type 1 diabetes after contracting Covid. We learned when one of our grandsons...

    Face it, the hawks and even the Big 10 do not have the top flight guards

    Explosive guards playing in tonite's champ game on both teams, multiple guards on both teams. I didnt watch a ton of Big 10 games this year but during the Big 10 Tourney and the Big 10 NCAA games I watched Purdue's Ivey is the only explosive guard I have seen. JoeT for the hawks could blow by...

    What did KU do differently in the 2nd half

    I was peeking in a little on the 1st half and saw the halftime score. Then I saw the final scored and thought 'what the hell happened'. So if any of you can explain such a turnaround from one half to another, what was it or what combination of things was it? TIA

    Top seeds crashing and Big 10 flopping

    I just saw the Purdue score and they were handled by the Pete's. Wow. Another poor showing by the Big 10 even though they had a good pre-season. Parity and more parity and a lot of good coaches.

    Is ISU a better defensive team than Iowa and a faster, better ball handling team?

    I have heard ISU is not a very good shooting team but plays really good defense. I have not watched more than hilites of them this year and most years as I do not get excited by their brand. So, what is the deal, does ISU have better athletes, better defenders, better rebounders? Some...

    Fran needs a pt guard like that Hilyard guy or similar, an Ivey type

    Many of you have said this but I am going to reiterate that Iowa has lot's of great big guys, super forwards and wing shooters but Fran has not had enough of the great point guards. Actually, Fran has never had a really great point guard, has he? None of them are good enough to make the NBA or...

    Keegan should have got the ball at the low post all day; what was Fran watching

    Keegan is great down low, the guys guarding him were good but he would have worked them for a lot of points. That Cayo guy was a few inches shorter than keegan and really too late in the game Keegan got 3 straight inside baskets by getting the ball down low. And if he gets it down low and they...
