Things that annoy me (4 Viewers)

Interesting that the stock market is holding steady today. It's even up a bit.

A cynic might say that they don't object to war and rising oil costs. Profitable to some. Maybe they also have some optimism that this will be of short duration and perhaps result in greater stability in the Middle East.

I'm not very good at predicting the market's how's and why's...

about as good as your football predictions...:)

just kidding...I remember you went 4-4 right in the college playoffs this year...
 
Why does a single torpedo cost over $4 million dollars? It got the job done but wouldn't a few WWII era torpedoes have done the same job?

I saw where Raytheon had a contract with the US government to supply our military with 57 Tomahawk missiles per year; that number just got bumped.

To 1,000 per year.

The problem is you cant predict the market.

Winning and success are often meaningless.

Say you have stock in a company, they report great profits, great projected revenue, job growth etc., yet the day of those reports the stock drops like a rock.

Say you have stock in another company, they report no profits, a huge loss in revenue and limited growth yet their stock rises to record levels.

That is like your favorite college football team winning by a final score of 21-0 but they still lose the game.

A lot of reports that US missile stocks of all kind are rapidly being diminished in the war with Iran and supplying the Ukraine. Production cannot be ramped up rapidly.
 
World Baseball Classic. This smacks of desperation by MLB. They are trying to conjure up some of the international hockey enthusiasm, but it doesn't work for a sport like baseball. And some of the matchups are laughable. Japan was up 13-0 on some team in the 4th inning. They need a little league mercy rule.

Wow, I hope you are joking, if not, that simplistic thinking explains a lot of your posts. Do us all a favour and do some research before posting rubbish.
 
"Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Friday that three Australian defence personnel were on board a United States submarine that ‌sank an Iranian warship with a torpedo in the Indian Ocean, but stressed they did not take part in the attack."

They did not take part in the attack? Then why were they on the sub? Put them on a life raft and set them adrift. What an embarrassment that the Aussies are so afraid that they don't even want to be associated with this effort.

Imagine if we had to refight WWII with these woke allies. The Assies rounded up people who were not wearing masks outdoors with tactical assault teams and took them to the gulag during COVID. But they can't be bothered to support the efforts in Iran. Let the US military die for that effort while they cry. Cowards.
 
Talk about cowards, your illustrious leader would win that title hands down. How many times did he beat the draft? Your now talking crap and enhancing your reputation. Greg.

Rambling nonsense. The USA and Israel are taking the fight to the Iranians who threaten western civilization while you hide. Shameful. The Aussies of Gallipoli would be ashamed.
 
Enough said, you've just confirmed my opinions and don't pretend you know anything about Australia's military campaigns. Greg.
