  1. What false news articles?
  2. Good question. When there are 25 events is it OK to say 100 years? I guess, but it still bothers a nerd like me. Grover Cleveland. And as long as we are talking about precision, it has been 132 years.
  3. If anything Gamestop is an example of what happens when short selling is not present
  4. While you tell a tidy story, that is all it is. A story to explain why an investment did not turn out the way you thought. It could be that you are just wrong. It could be that you are fooling yourself about your skill. You are proposing a radical solution to an anecdotal problem and ignoring the public benefit of short selling.
  5. I didn't mean to shoot you, just the message.
  6. I always find comments like "first time in 20 years" silly when an event only occurs every four years. It is playing a little fast and loose.
  7. As long as they cannot / will not enforce the current rules, then this one needs to be on the table.
  8. Where is there rampant market manipulation?
  9. Banning short selling is an insanely bad idea.
  10. Lawyer Jonathon Turley says the opposite of the Supreme Court and precedence. But, I think Trump will attempt it and then have to fight it out in the courts.
  11. 1.) I think it is a very real possibility. He said he will go back to building buildings, but I just do not see that happening for a variety of reasons (he hasn't built a building in a long long time, financing for someone facing the charges he would face may be problematic). I could see him moving to the middle east while claiming he is going there for business reasons. 2.) No
  12. Not the most important question, but a good question none the less. I had not thought about that, but I would be very interested to see what happens. A father's love for his son. Will it be forgiveness, or tough love?
  13. Historically, the Supreme Court has not allowed self-pardons. But, I would fully expect Trump to challenge that if elected.
  14. I too am a moron, but a moron who has learned that the hide button can be your best friend.
  15. Yes, his dad also specifically said there was no wrestle off.
  16. Yeah, and he contradicts that later in the video. I know the PSU coaches preach to them to not define themselves as wrestlers since that will only last a few years. I took that as Starocci parroting that advice before he slipped later. The natty daddy necklace was sooooooo bad. And not the good kind of bad.
  17. Biggest (>= abs5) movers in the Intermat Rankings: For NR I assumed they were previously ranked 37 as the largest value I found in the "Previous" column was 36.
  18. you are correct. One year. He came in the year after the COVID freebie (2022).
  19. I wonder how much weight the wrestlestat algo places on most recent results? And of course Starocci's most recent five results were low scoring, compromised knee affairs. And the two before that were injury forfeits. This seems like a place to bet the over.
  20. His dad said he worked hard to bulk up for this year
  21. "Hey, you're Carter Starocci. You can win the nationals with a bad knee or a bad attitude. But you're not going to win with both. And you're stuck with the knee, so you need to figure out how to improve your attitude." https://www.instagram.com/reel/DB94NHzvN9N/ Not being on IG limits my ability to link, but this video is defenitely worth a watch.
  22. From his Hawkeye Beacon post: " - My kid is wrestling the weight I think he should be wrestling this weekend. I don't question it, and I never will. It's not my place to. I trust Tom with everything, otherwise my family and I would not even be here. - I think it's where he belongs because none of you can really appreciate how much this kid has been beefing up. Can he get back to 174? Of course, and if that is where he is called to go, he will answer the call, and there will not be a complaint from him or me. - I've raised my son to always trust the process. I cannot tell you how many fools have reached out to ask if Gabe would ever transfer. After a few chose words, and also using sign language they got the picture. - I had a call from a dear friend yesterday calling me to tell me to keep my head up. I said, "why"? Well because Gabe lost his wrestle-off. I literally busted out laughing. Not because there never was one, but because he thought I needed encouragement. This is wrestling and if and when there is a wrestle-off, someone will lose. But my feelings, nor my kid's will be hurt. #itsjustwrestling."
  23. According to Arnold's dad there was no wrestle off and Arnold has been working hard to bulk up to 184. So sounds like this was the plan all along.
  24. Great question.
  25. It is the hot take sub thread of the college wrestling thread. But then you knew, and ignored, that.
