Ironically organic locally grown vegetables are often the shittiest looking veggies you will ever see. They also rot almost instantly.
I've had organic peppers barely even last a day in the fridge, and they were full of shitty seeds and one was moldy on the fucking inside. Most of the time I can keep peppers in my fridge for weeks without them even losing any of their snap, and I've had some last a month and they were still good enough to use in a pasta sauce.

So... I guess buy the shittiest most fucked up looking veggies?

You put it all on red or black. If you lose, you go make another $40. If you win, you have $80. Let it ride. If you lose, rinse and repeat. If you win, you have $160. Take that $160 and open up an etrade account. Put that money into a pink sheet that will be pumped one day. Plenty to chose from bases on histories. Wait for it to be pumped, or reverse merged with a marijuana company. Sell for $5000. Take that $5000 and buy Fannie Mae common stock (FNMA), and when conservatorship ends, it can go back to book value. $50000-$80000

Take that ~$65000 and if precious metals are still down, have fun.

Or just short the bitcoin market.

$1 mill.

Good luck.
Have fun.

All just my opinion.

Well, the hotel was supposedly bought with preferred and commons. Which is what the recent increase in the A/S was for. They like to talk more on facebook than in PRs. We'll see at Q1 end.

If you decide to watch how it trades (or doesn't, they don't get a lot of volume) you'll be fooled by the SS. It trades ridiculously thin looking at the L2.
