May be irrelevant, but at least something's gone right for that man this year. 

Dude is a genius on the financial side and I would hand him every damn penny I had if I could

If giving your money to a financial advisor is selling your soul then you have some wacked out views of the world

Honestly, it kinda is. This mentality of "I'm only an investor" and using that to separate and insulate ourselves from the companies we invest in is just a cop out.

I have no problem admitting there are people in this world way more knowledgeable then me in the fiancial sector and wealth management.  Thats just how the world works.  I think at some point in investing and planning its kindof nuts to try and do it yourself once you get past a certain limit.  You are leaving money on the table per se.

 

And yes I would give Tepper and his fund every penny I have

McDonald's charging poor people 15 bucks for a "value meal" that is slowly killing them....in the name of a dividend and a happy quarterly call.

It’s possible to be an investor and only invest in companies that align with your values.

That's one way to view the world but I think it's a way to view the world that leaves you no leg to stand on when you accuse others of having "some wacked out views of the world". IMO, valuing a dollar over any and everything else is pretty fuging wacked out.

Sure it is. But the Teppers of the world don't care about it and wealthy people give their money to them to accumulate more wealth and insulate themselves from the impact of their investment dollars while oftentimes virtue signaling to claim to care about issues their dollars are working directly against.

I was saying "wacked out" in the sense that there are people smarter then me in a lot of fields, not in the sense of making money.

      XL is out here being a hero!

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Interesting topic.  I have had a few NFL friends and one told me that he could not work out or train unless the activities and facilities were approved. AI: In many NFL contracts, certain activities are restricted, and injuries sustained during those activities can lead to the voiding of contract guarantees or even the entire contract. These restrictions often include dangerous activities like skydiving, rock climbing, or even engaging in contact sports like boxing. Additionally, injuries sustained while working out at non-team facilities or during personal recreational activities may be classified as "non-football injuries," potentially impacting the player's compensation.    Having said that, I question the reason the person filming this was not helping.  Secondly, the decision to put it on social media makes it seem a bit prearranged.  I do not think this would violate his contract, but I do think it is a bit stupid on his part in that he could be injured.

      Doesn't make it right.  And as you put it, you wanted to ban him from being country, which is essentially policing who he is as a person lol  I get protecting the "asset", but banning people from living their life is crazy. Russell Wilson likes to play helicopter pilot.  I would deem that WAY more dangerous.  Those things scare me.  I still wouldn't want to keep him from doing it if I were his boss.  I would just try not to think about it, haha.

      Could do better could do worse. I've seen some people very indignant over bringing him back and I can absolutely relate to the sentiment. But it's just in a backup role. He's also a good locker room presence and an effort player so for a 1 year rental in a year where we aren't going to do much it's fine. This is a development year. And there will be options if need be at the trade deadline. Besides at the end of the day we all knew a signing like this was around the corner after how drafting Mark Williams ended. He should have been our franchise center for the next several years. I don’t put that failure on the Hornets.
