Cool story bro.


But we're talking about OUR community and cigars, not the stock market. I see what you're getting it, but you are looking at this as cigars for profit. We all go to whatever retailer we want for that in order to take care of that end of this market

When it comes to OUR community, there is the unwritten law of the Brotherhood. It's why we call each other BOTLs. Generally speaking we don't buy up supplies of cigars and then come here to try and Gordon Gecko our Brothers.

So selling cigars to our Brothers and selling stocks is Apples to Oranges.

I'm not looking at it from just a profit standpoint. I'm just commenting that there are people (not saying this applies to anyone here) who like to sit on the sidelines and are only interested in something once demand is high and supply is gone. They just want to complain that they can't get in the game at the original price when everyone else went through the hassle trying to find their own stash.

I don't begrudge anyone for making a buck. If it's not a price I'm willing to pay, I just move on. What about the fools who participate in the black Friday sales and stand in line all night long to get some door buster price? Should I complain that I don't get the same price when I slept in until noon?

It's all about perceived value as well. If I buy a box of these cigars for $150 or whatever, maybe I really want to keep them, but for the right price, I might let them go. Remember-EVERYTHING is for sale.
