great vid.....thank you!

watching as I type.....

Just eat what you like and worry about it later. I do. But, I also eat a very strong vegetable diet but with meat. If you eat Mexican food you will see that most of what will be on your plate is vegetable. Let's take enchiladas as an example. If you go to a Mexican restaurant and order a Mexican plate you will usually get a Chile Relleno, an Enchilada, and a Taco with beans and Spanish rice on the side. On that plate you will only get a little ground beef and it's in the taco, the rest is vegetable source. Just an example. Why do many Mexicans get fat? Because we like to eat and usually aren't eating what I just listed. Oh, and lack of exercise but we have an excuse in the summer, it's really hot here and in the winter? It's because it's too cold. LOL

They can't even confirm if GMO wheat is good for you and now we're doing it to animals? No thanks!

GMO wheat is more or less exactly as good for you as non-GMO wheat. The nutritional value is just a sum of measurables like any other food product.

What no-one can confirm is whether there are any harmful effects of GMO wheat, in spite of a myriad of fake knowledge websites that make claims to the contrary. That is in spite of having more data available than it could conceivably take to prove claims that pander to the irrational fears of the masses.

You might have a point if this salmon was grown in a lab.

I look at this the same way I view vaccines. Im open minded about both..but..I see nothing that would lead me at this point to believe that either are anything but huge a positive for mankind. I imagine both issues have the exact same proponents.

Quote:Genetically engineered salmon has reached the dinner table. AquaBounty Technologies, the Maynard, Massachusetts, company that developed the fish, announced on 4 August that it has sold 10,000 pounds (4,535 kilograms) of its hotly debated product to customers in Canada.

The sale marks the first time that a genetically engineered animal has been sold for food on the open market. It took AquaBounty over 25 years to accomplish the task.

The fish, a variety of Atlantic salmon, is engineered to grow faster than its non-genetically modified counterpart, reaching market size in roughly half the time — about 18 months. AquaBounty sold its first commercial batch at market price: US$5.30 per pound (0.45 kg), says Ron Stotish, the company’s CEO. He would not disclose who bought it.

Pretty damn cool, cool enough that I just went and bought 100 shares of their stock.

What is the symbol....in the field and don't have time right now...

AQB - it's cheap enough that 100 shares isn't going to kill anyone if it goes south and if it performs well I'll make some folding money. Effin Facebook though., I bought when they went public and held back, wish I'd gone all in, it's had a 92.57% gain over 5 years, all for a company that sells or manufactures nothing except ad space.

I go on charts more than anything... but I will say if it can hold above its floor for the next few months, it might be worth looking into. But right now? Ehh... Too many things can still go wrong.

(of course, this from someone who's been holding on ROX stock for nearly 2 1/2 years now waiting for that break-out run to finally kick in... and then it toys with me again)

Which is why I only bought 100 shares rather than 1,000. I only dabble in the market anyway. I am the financial equivalent of a box of rocks when it comes to smarts. I've been holding on to XOM for years hoping some day it will get back to at least what I paid for it. I held on to one petroleum companies stock until it got de-listed.

I think we've all pulled boners like that.. my 2 worst were was buying into a company, where all the signs were that a major contract was being signed for a Robotic arm in surgery... It fell through...

Company basically got turned into a "Junk" company.

and then there's the one, where I forgot what the word patience was (ironically, it was another bio med). Bought in on a biotech for under $10... sold out at $15.. about a week after I sold, company basically shot through to about $45...

I did that with my first purchase of FB. Sold about 50 shares way too early that I wish I had now. As long as I'm wishing I wish I had dumped every dollar I had available into FB when they went public rather than the just hanging on to half that I bought initially and taking a wait and see position. Hindsight and all that...

My problem was that when I told my wife that we should buy gold she poo-pooed the idea. At the time it was at 400 bucks per ounce. Not too long after it went to 1600 bucks an ounce. I don't know where it's at right now but I reckon it's still more than 400 bucks. I usually remind her and she counters with, "you should have bought some". Grrrrrrrrrr!

Shoot!

My problem is I bought a lot of it around the turn of the century wen it was below 300 and dumped it about 3-4 years later out of necessity only to watch it hit @1900 in 2011. Gold is currently at $1,270.64 and rising. My timing has always sucked.

I still wish my wife had decided to go into Gold instead of Silver when she wanted some "hard assets"... she figured Gold was going up.. so Silver had to do the same.
