He is actually she, Mike. I saw the article and they said suicide was the preliminary cause. It didn't mention anything about Bitcoin having issues, beyond their normal ups and downs, so I thought it was fishy to say the least. I feel for her loved ones and family.

It's really to bad that people correlate financial success with happiness to this degree in America.

In my opinion I doubt it was suicide. She has a pretty impressive resume. I don't think she would of committed suicide over the bitcoin tanking.
She could of easily gotten another job.

The bitcoin currency was used to launder a lot of drug money. Tell a drug lord he just lost a bunch of money, you're dead. I'm sure there is more to this.

You're right, Todd. Only I'm really questioning if it was suicide. She died in Singapore. Not exactly a safe, incorruptible country. I'm not big on conspiracy theories but this just seems off is my initial impression. Maybe I watch too many movies or read too many books though.

I was thinking the same thing.

It went down 15% today, so I just bought Staples (SPLS) after hours. It pays a 4.23% dividend.

I REALLY like that they plan to trim back their storefronts and focus more heavily on online ordering. Last I checked, schools and offices still need supplies, and they have good brand recognition.

Thoughts?

that looks like we're being bought activity. 4.23 is nice though. I may dump 40% of my Tesla and go for more KO or CAT.

Anyone have opinion on Great Northern Iron Ore (GNI).

My buddy has had them for several years and the div is nice but they are on a big drop. My friend just bought a bunch more. On the fence.

Remember guys.. lets keep this on topic. the Whys and Hows of "Investing".. Not a Stock picking thread. that will get us no where fast.

Invest in what you know and understand. Do the homework, and don't take the friends advice blindly. Do your own investigative work.
