A bunch of people stuck at home went down the list of stocks looking at them and found that gamestop's stock was shorted 130%(as in more shares than that exist) and spread it to reddit, where more studied it and found that investors were purposely screwing with the stock to make money on shorting it, and then decided to screw those investors.

Shorting is where you borrow someone else's shares and sell them immediately, then buy them back at a low price later to return to them. When you do this and then the stock rises, the brokerage companies(etc) will start pushing for you to return their shares unless you can convince them to wait longer. So when the price started going up, they wanted their shares back, the investors/companies/shorters didn't have the money to do that, needed a bail out, then proceeded to SHORT IT AGAIN.

I think that's how it goes.

ND did it in '35 and we'll do it again!

It's a good read, especially since there isn't anything I've found canceling the order and bill.

Isn't the strategic oil reserves there?

That was how they sold his character I believe...

Edit: I just realized that it can go another way.

Good for most, bad for some.

There are some that actually do good living there, such as most on the agricultural committees, as it takes forever to teach a politician about agriculture today

I mean that's my point: not every farmer grows things that are basically ready to eat, most grow grain or raise livestock that has to be processed

Hate to tell you this but Canadian Pacific/Soo Line has tracks up there that cross over too

Now since Biden has gotten in, there is alot of people saying this bubble is going to burst, not in years, but months.

Start saving now, and hope that when it does you can invest, not have to fight another war.

Trump bucked the trend with bubbles and crashes, but Trump knew how to run a business, Biden, like Obama, does not.

Trudeau disappointed? What did he finally wake up or something? Last I heard oil in Alberta was basically dead, they were talking separation, having marches, drives, etc for the oil.

"Diesel's worth the price of gold, it's the cheapest grain we've ever sold...."

Never thought that song would come back again.

Hopefully we can hold on though.

Because that has worked so well over the last, what?, 70 years?

Susposedly he was in line to be CEO of Microsoft.

I still have to laugh at how he campaigned, just a farm kid, had to borrow money on the family business/farm to start great plains. All of that was bull, they always had money, they had shares in just about every bonanza farm, have a grain trading business, and now have lots of shares in tech and oil companies, plus a "ranch" in western ND for when he want to play cowboy, complete with management running the place.

Sandford is about the same, only he sat and burnt money and now Watford and McKenzie are out of money. He got luck and got out before the money ran out. Another"always had money" family.

Also would have rather had stenjehm(sp) instead of burgum, anyone I've talked to voted against the Dem-NPL, never for burgum.

West to west central, but I've got family in the valley that does 10k+, and my great great great grandfather did 40-50k in from 1880-1925(about, records are poor).

The edge of oil country.

That was more Dakota access than keystone xl...

Dakota access came on line and the trains stopped

No one like burgum, no one voted for him, just against the democrat candidate, mostly because they didn't campaign at all

Vote the rino out and we wouldn't have had the problem

We do 4k in the same state and we are the smallest compared to the neighbors who are doing 8k, 10k, and 30k

No, see Obama's term. High diesel and low prices then lower diesel and the highest prices since Carter's grain export embargo

Wanna buy 1200 bushels of wheat?

No?

A bushel is roughly 60 lbs.

Didn't really think of one...I'll go with "uhh....um..." or "isn't he, uh, great at the, the, uh, you know the thing?"

The only problem is(actual) retarded people probably wouldn't vote for Biden...they're smarter than that.

What makes you think there will be peace?

You know it's bad when the Farmers Union starts using this to make fun of them.

Here's the thing: we have to make this work in two years.

Start pushing hard now, so when midterms show up, we hopefully will have a chance

Well climate controlled and probably carpeted...
