Off-Topic / Polish Misunderstanding of American Terminology [47]


Excellent answer.
Non-native speakers should not try to diminish American native speakers and expect them to speak their lingo.

Donetsk, Ukraine to be exact and is controlled by Russia.
Ukraine is disputed yet Russia controls Donetsk, Crimea.
Therefore, the damn grapes came from Russia ! lol

Short answer, No. Germany is not a "Socialist" country, not even close.
Germany is a Capitalist country and quite successful too.
Short answer, Yes, North Korea is a "Socialist" country.

I'm afraid that is too late as all of the Polish members here have already been indoctrinated (dumbed down) to Socialism except for Cojestdocholery.

Same here as they only have like 24 hours to pick the grapes at an exact time and temperature to make ice wine.


WoW, you da man ain't sha......And that makes you a wine expert now ?
Our wineries can spot a low life mooch looking for free samples with no intentions of buying any so they give people like you the throw away stuff. lol

No wonder you weren't impressed. lmfao !
Michigan has some of the top wineries in the world beer breath.
Anyone can google that as a fact

Off-Topic / Pop A Cork - Wine [440]

Don't underestimate Michigan wines.
Michigan wines are worthy of the same international prestige as those from California or Europe.
And I just happen to live in the 45th parallel with wineries located all around me.
Have you ever tried "Ice Wine" where Michigan is the only place in the world that makes it. (As far as I know)
Did you know the 45th parallel plays an important role in wine making ?
Wine grapes grow between 30- and 50-degrees latitude, any farther south and it is too warm, farther north and it is too cold.
Michigan is nestled nicely in there, with points of the state ranging between the 41st and 47th parallels.
Michigan wineries along the 45th parallel share the distinction with many notable winemaking regions, including parts of France's Burgundy and Bordeaux, Italy's Piedmont and Oregon's Willamette Valley.

Here is a take that I just read that I found interesting.
The Fed's scramble to hike rates and lower liquidity is draining the stock market.
The billionaire investor pointed to the Fed's delayed response to inflation, which risks tipping the economy into a recession.
So you thought the healthy fish would survive and the sick fish would die. But the Fed is draining the entire pond, so everyone's going to die.

The Fed's scramble to hike rates and kill off inflation is draining the stock market, warning that even the "healthy fish" would die as the economy and liquidity start to shrink.

Back when I posted in July (see below) my DVN was at $52.

polishforums.com/off-topic/stock-market-talk-85560/17/#msg1863776

Yesterday my DVN closed at $69 for a $17 per share gain.
Your SLB at the same time was at $37.
Yesterday it was at $39 for a $2 per share gain.

Warren Buffet quote:
"A simple rule dictates my buying, "Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful. And most certainly, fear is now widespread, gripping even seasoned investors."

There are a lot of undervalued stocks right now.

There should still be some color left.
Check out D&W grocery up there in Bay View for a very big and nice wine selection.
When I am up that way I always stop in as they usually have frozen grouper too.

I drink more wine in colder weather.

Don't you mean, "bull run" ?
I concur.
I expect Wall Street will open in the red today (in five hours from now) as the short run may be over already.
Next month another interest hike and the market will do what it always does which is go down. (bear run)
Next year your cash will be king and time to invest just like Warren Buffet has always done. (Balls out)
Some are saying the market may tank as much as 40%.
And you are right PolAm, people are sitting on a lot of cash right now with nowhere to invest it.....yet.
Oh, and the wine was very doable, thanks for the tip.
I generally sip Bogle Cabernet (same price range as yours) at dinner when I have guests.

News / Is NORD STREAM dangerous for Poland's natural enviroment? [540]


Yeah, it would be just awful to have two of you here.


Sources please.

Now a little history lesson from back in 1982 for you kids.
In January 1982, President Reagan approved a CIA plan to sabotage the economy of the Soviet Union through covert transfers of technology that contained hidden malfunctions, including software that later triggered a huge explosion in a Siberian natural gas pipeline.

The United States was attempting to block Western Europe from importing Soviet natural gas.
In order to disrupt the Soviet gas supply, its hard currency earnings from the West, and the internal Russian economy, the pipeline software that was to run the pumps, turbines, and valves was programmed to go haywire, after a decent interval, to reset pump speeds and valve settings to produce pressures far beyond those acceptable to pipeline joints and welds.

The result was the most monumental non-nuclear explosion and fire ever seen from space, as U.S. satellites picked up the explosion.
The blast occurred in the summer of 1982.
There was significant damage to the Soviet economy.
Did the C.I.A. and history just repeat itself only with T.N.T. this time ?

I know, that's why I sold them months ago.
Your stocks aren't doing so great either but you still own them.
You have had your money tied up at very little return while I have been using my money to make money.

Moved from Random chat to here:


For the umpteenth time.......
How many times do I have to tell you, I'm a DAY TRADER (I buy and sell stocks everyday,) you are a Long Term Investor. and hold your stocks for six months or more.

I make my money by short term, and you make yours on long term.
Did ya get it that time ?


Firstly they were not tips, and secondly that is why I sold them.
I sold Li long long ago and have bought and sold Apple several times since.
I am way up on Apple as it has more than doubled in the last two years.
Your SAP in June was a $100 a share and today it is $88.
Your SLB was $49 in June and is now at $39.
I assure you that I have made more than you have on your stocks in this rally, much more.
Your SLB was up +2.14% and your SAP was up +4.88 today, my oil stock was up +5.72%.
Like I said, last Monday was one of the best days that I have ever had.
Now for a tip, lol, my charts show your SLB (Siemens and Schlumberger ) shows a very strong buy.
Sit on it and I will sit on my DVN (oil stock) for right now which is up 78% in the last year, and more than either of yours in the last month.

Your SAP is down 34% in the last year and your SLB is up 26%.
Face it cms, I am just more successful than you are in the stock market yet you won't find me trying to belittle you.

Please reciprocate the favor.

Off-Topic / Stock Market and Trading Talk [1011]


Is that a requirement now too.
Am I required to cave to all the diminishing demands here about my personal life and now my personal investments ?
I will say that yesterday was one of my best days ever in the market bringing me almost back to even.
Today was almost as good. :-)


They call it, DAY TRADING, and every day I am watching what the market is doing and why.
Oil rose by nearly $3 a barrel on Tuesday on expectations of a large cut in crude output from the OPEC+ producer group and as a weaker U.S. dollar made oil purchases less expensive.

When my trading charts flagged that on September 30th I immediately bought into two American oil companies.
Sorry that I didn't share that with you.
It's still not to late so do your research and buy some oil stocks that are undervalued is my tip of the day.
What is yours ?
