Why would you vent a thermometer?

Facebook (FB) stock is starting to get hit by gravity.

1 more day before the weekend.

15 more days before ordering an ADA-1250 3 channel amp.

144 more days before Christmas.

511 more days before I retire.

Shoulda bought Tesla.

No thanks. I've learned the hard way that it's too risky to hold a stock through earnings announcements.

I wonder what the chances are that I'll be returning the ADA-1250 amp within the 30 day trial period because I can't hear a difference between that and my Pioneer receiver?

Concerning trading stocks, my buy and hope strategies haven't worked out too well so far, so have decided to switch to the daily 1 percent strategy.

My goal will be to sell after approximately 1 percent gain, from any day trade purchase(s), instead of getting greedy and waiting for more. It's this waiting for more during day trades that can quickly go bad, sometimes turning what was supposed to be a quick day trade, into a multiple week hold for break-even, wasting valuable time.

One quick 1 percent trade, then out. Makes money (potential for a lot of money), then the rest of the day is freed up for other things instead. In order for this strategy to work, must immediately sell any trades that turn against me before they have had time to lose money. (That's one of the simplest, yet hardest things to do.) Using nearly 100 percent of capital per trade. Safe, as long as trading high volume stocks.

Today was first day. Worked fine, so far. Bought a stock at 12.30, sold at 12.44. Not a big move, but gained my goal for the day.

CAT SMELLING CHEESE.

I wonder what would give the most improvement in sound?

1) add an ADA-1250 for L/C/R, or

2) replace my EP350 with an EP500 or

3) replace my EP350 with an SVS PB13-Ultra.

I seem to have plenty of bass for most everything, but may not know what I'm missing.

Well, I decided to pay off Orkin termite treatment of $1700 instead of buying a power amp, for now. Probably better decision. I can get an amp and a new subwoofer some other time.

Today was the 2nd day for my 1 percent stock market strategy. It only took me 10 minutes to locate, buy and sell a stock for my 1 percent. Not bad. Could of gotten more, but decided not to get greedy. That 1 percent gain could just as easily been turned into a 1 percent loss if I had waited.

Doing this consistently for 1 year every day the market is open, theoretically would result in a 1100 percent gain. Not bad.
