With MELI, it'd be tough to find a better one considering everything.

Did my homework and bought these a few days ago.

I checked a few of those out so far, TY.


For example, DOLE.

Amazing the firm has 37,422 employees while only having a market cap of $1 billion.

BYDDF. They are on pace to overtake Tesla in vehicle sales by the end of the year and their financials are strong.

On top of that, BYDDF supplies electric batteries to Tesla.

Third quarter sales expected on Oct. 2.

Stock at $31.40. Up 500% since 2020. Analysts are predicting 1yr target of $40, and a low of $40. Never saw that before.

I made a rule several years ago not to buy Chinese firms because of auditing laws.

But JD is very attractive around $27.

I barely trust domestic audited financials.


I don't believe electric cars will survive much longer and many will go belly up.

So I won't touch the sector, unless it's someone like Toyota/Honda refusing to produce electric cars.

Interesting article about Buffett doubling down in PARA after he first got buried.

He's deeply buried and getting crushed.

Berkshire owns 15.36% of PARA.

The resort fee must be a killer.

Have to watch out for fake news since some of the MSM have a controlling interest in the strike results.

For example, this one news article could allow someone the ability to get out of a losing position.

"tentative" LOL

Lots of prominent NJ Democrats are calling on Menendez to resign. Good. We can finally get rid of him and replace him with a better Dem.

These charges aren't close to the kind of gray line where someone might argue that they are possibly innocent. Menendez is just another ass who is going to drag this out and not resign.

Doesn’t matter anymore. He’s already got a strong Dem primary challenger (Andy Kim) who announced after this news broke. Menendez is a goner.
