Top Golf

Winner!!! They're packed with people!

I've been listening to Dave Ramseys' podcast lately and I've been trying to look into mutual funds but I'm having a hard time looking some up. Any suggestions on research tools? I'm having a heck of a time trying to screen them through Schwab & Fidelity.

Call Schwab. Best customer service i've ever gotten. Thier brokers have been top notch and I would be surprised if they couldnt help.

Always packed, you will spend as much on food and drinks as the bay fee, nothing else like it, and every big city in the US will need one (or more).
I would love to see this go public.

Just have to brag for a moment about investing in LECO last january. I only wish I wouldve put more in.

Thanks to Mr Weld for the advice on investing in dividend stocks or I wouldve never thought about it.

Id take a look at ELY (callaway) they seem to be the only golf manufacture making money and they have a significant investment in Top Golf.

Just saw CNBC discussing Bitcoin..... and if you remember -- I was dead set against people getting into this kind of "investment" back when it was "the hot thing". I'll stick with that....


It's gone up crazy this last year -- wonderful.... I'm very happy for those people with the LUCK to have gotten in to it a year ago. Good for them...


But let's step back and ask ourselves how many of you would have gotten in to it when it was a $1,000 and rode it to $300?? I remember the big news about some "X" tech twin brothers sinking 10 million or something like that -- near the top --- wonder if they held and watched their 10 million turn in to 3....


It's GAMBLING -- sometimes you get lucky -- sometimes the house takes all your money. I'll stick with dividends (even though I - and some of you - have the money to gamble on stuff like this - I still won't do it - it's too depressing when it goes south).

I've mentioned "FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE" in this thread about half a million times.... Today -- we see what that looks like.

McDonalds lost my vote a few years back -- which I also posted about ad infinitum.... the food was bad - the restaurants were dirty - the bathrooms were dirty.....

In comes fundamental change --- in 2015 they fire the CEO and move Steve Easterbrook to that position.... since then -- the stock has been on a tear. Up about 62% in two years...

I still do not own it - I missed the change and failed to believe one man could have such a dramatic effect. I guess that's my reason for the post. Part of STOCK PICKING is to be ahead of the curve - see the changes for what they can and could be -- some times they (stocks) continue to go down. Sometimes they turn the corner. Two I've missed --- McDonalds and Microsoft.

Now I wonder if the change at General Electric (GE) will make a difference? The stock was stellar under Jack Welch -- then fell under Jeff Immelt -- now he's going to retire and a new guy gets a chance. Will be interesting to watch. I won't be a buyer this time either -- because their dividend isn't high enough for me to take the risk... but let's watch it and see what happens.

I also lost faith in MCD about the same time and have missed the runup after as well. You can't win them all I guess...

I've lost so much money on GE in the past I don't think I'd EVER be able to buy it once again...no matter who they put in charge or change. Its personal... :bigun2:
