Friend of mine texted me today asking me if I wanted to buy a ticket. I said yes.

He was supossed to pick up the money for the ticket tonight, but he got tied up and said he would front me the money for the ticket, and he would stop over and pick up the ticket money this weekend. Just now got a text that I won.

I'll buy you breakfast at Tudor's Biscuit World!

I'm calcualting how many breakfast's I can buy for $500!

Seriously though, this made my day because I was down about $800 in the market today and that kind of put me into a funk!

$GME

GME warrants

Index funds

S&P was down over 1% today, and when the S&P shits the bed, like it did today, GME shits the bed twice as much.

I buy the dips on GME, so I'm doing ok with it, but it's volatile as hell.

During that meteoric rise? Some folks made a lot of coin riding that one up.

Because I had no one to ask, so we are having a night next Friday with dinner. They seem pretty nice from CA so hopefully on the left.

There will be a trail of dust.

All 800 people in the winner's 30 person third grade class will contact him.

And the 17th cousins.
