which I did

In my faith and God above all, it has helped put perspective on life. Oh well these things happen in life
It also brought me closer to faith since marriage and family was intact.

So ALL take care of yourself, signs and symptoms. This is "one life" walk OR as christians say journey.
The whole health thing is surreal as today's Covid19.

So keep the faith, your work and loved ones and also all the blessed things Life brings GOOD And/or Bad.
Surreal all the time, every day an opportunity to learn the Life we're all living and relationships we cherish on earth.

*Peace all! sincerely UP and Forward
Always

peace and prosperity to you my brother

Brother DJ... You don't know how much of a blessing it is to hear someone speak from the heart, while being vulnerable and open. I believe there's healing on both sides. Healing in you to just be able to express your pain. Healing for others who had the opportunity to hear your message. It was powerful.

I also didnt realize how much we have in common career wise. I have a very similar career path as yours. I'm also an engineer. I use this platform to release all my knicks passion and energy and frustration. Since over the last 20 yrs, if I talk to any random person about the knicks, all I get in return is "they trash" why are u a fan of that team. 🤔 Ao I love this outlet we have.

But thank u for sharing brother. Continue to bless others and stay blessed. Anything we go through is temporary and there's a message God is revealing. Hopefully the knicks turning around and becoming a good team with a young promising base. I hope that keeps u in good spirit for now...as you continue to battle. Stay blessed.

It’s been a gorgeous part time job that probably taken 15 min of time🙏 I’ve scalped meta hard as well. No reasons to be long This market. Scalping short big or medium names w powerful liquidity

Briggs could you please elaborate on that? What is it exactly that you buy? How do you do it and why does it work?

He shorted the big tech stocks. I believe he mentioned FaceBook, now called Meta. Briggs is an active trader and is very active on social media under his real name. When we are masters of the universe we feel good an dlike to share. When the market goes against us we shrink. I do this for a living and have to answer to audits, SEC, and my contractual obligations. He answers for himself I believe. Its why I won’t speak of my duties or results. I live in a world of measured volatility were my investors want to beat the market on the way down. Many ways to accomplish resullts.
Not being snarky, Briggs intentions are good. Lets put it this way, Briggs likely won’t respond as it a very detailed answer you seek. Not because anything nefarious, its just a lot to ask for.
If he does respond in kind, and boasts of unaudited results then perhaps that legitimacy should be questioned. How to verify it then? LOL………

1. I knew the Mcdyess trade was gonna blow up on our faces
2. I shorted Enron and made 300%
3. I sold all my subprime loans months earlier
4. I laughed when walsh said he a mistake with brandonjennins.
5. When Alonzo Trier was on the cover of the NY times magazine in the 8th grade, you can tell he would not pan out. I did.
6. I knew the short recession would yield good growth with stay at home tech. Just the same, its decline was envitable.

Ask me to prove it.

Fact is Tech is still so far ahead of SP500 even with recent decline. 100% More than market still.

I got a prostate exam last week when I got my catheter taken out- not pleasant (but no where near as bad as being catheterized!) but over and done with pretty quick and much better than not getting it checked out and them missing diagnosing cancer early (especially as it's very survivable if caught early). Know none of you are going to like it, but do try to go for a routine check as you approach mid 40s/early 50s!

Amen I pray the best for you smackeddog. Yep the Catheter process Sucks to do #1 , I dredded taking in too much fluids cause of painful release
of fluids with catheter device. So true very very unpleasant. I was 41 when I had my Prostate 'C' surgery 2003. 19 yrs counting 'C' free, GOD is good!

They say back at beginning of y2K years the window for prostate diagnosis moved up from early 50's in the past to early 30's now.
As a matter of fact I knew a person in Canada whom turned 30 2005 and before his 30th birthday was diagnosed with Prostate cancer.

He decided to wait .. instead of follow through early and eventually his Prostate cancer got worse and was too late to do Prostectomy surgery.
The scope procedure was very new 20 yrs ago and I chose the other surgery.

ALL in all men , especially if you're Afro american I highly recommend doing your Prostate checks, PSA as early as your Mid 30's,
Its a sneaky disease and changes your Life forever but if you take control and prioritize yourself & body, You can make best decisions & options.
