Quote: Well this purchase was a self-reward for myself for being awarded a Brown Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Congratulations, on the promotion, not the invoice. Me, I never had the chance to wear a chairo obi. Yeah, I've gotten those invoices as well  . As to Disney, good luck with that  . Let us know how it turned out  . Now, seriously, congratulations on the promotion; it is a great accomplishment  for an old guy as this old guy  knows. Edited for commas and emphasis. Questions or comments floortrader? Send a SCF message. I will respond. No need to of course. |

Geoff - Love those Derek Rose! Floortrader - Yes, congratulations. I trained in the martial arts when I was in my twenties and moved on. Great job keeping going. My greatest takeaway from the Arts was humbleness and humility which you obviously have in spades.  |

Floortrader - I add my congratulations. To advance to brown in BJJ is no small accomplishment. Keep rolling with the young guys, and show the wisdom the old guys can bring. Pat |

Quote: I am hopeing for a good financial report from Disney Corp tomorrow maybe a real good one to get the wife off my back about "wasteing my money on stamps " Well Disney's earn report is out. Did it help get the wife off your back? If you held a short position on the stock, that is looking good, between the trading day and after hours the stock is down over 5%. |

A savvy investor like FT would be shorting Disney all day long, amirite? He won't see this message for a while because he's enjoying a pre-Castro Cuban and a single malt while his wife tallies the winnings. |

The report was one cent short on the estimates . Yes that 1 cents in earnings has cause the market to break $4.00 per share , stocks lost billions of dollars in value . .....that is how crazy the world we live in for investors .
But as I read the financials , I am happy to hold for a rally later in the month , because parks revenue is up ,on-line streaming still needs work , new management in the companies divisions are positive ,their legal problems are working in their direction . I will sit still for now ,because I have some nice stuff coming from California WESTPEX stamp auction . ,I got a lot of British Colonies coming ,will update you all . |

Got my lots from the WESTPEX show ,got to say very pleased with what Schuler Rumsey shipped me ,now need to mail them a check for payment .
I have very good relationship with the firm , much like a few other firms . I will usually contact the firm around 10 days after a major stamp auction to get a final price and always tell them to take their time with my order knowing full well they are very busy those few days after a auction with other clients .
It was Gregg Manning who sat down with me in his office in New Jersey and explained the auction houses problems when dealing with their clients .
Was hoping to pay for this with profits from my stock trading account but the markets did a big nothing . So remember that 4.9% CD that I purchased last November the week of Thanksgiving ,got some interest paid out on that , so that is enough to cover my WESTPEX purchase .
Need to take a break from buying until wife quiets down . |

For comparison, a new offer at ebay: 2500 stamps in a stock book, 1.5 million US$, and as you can see from the scan, rather ordinary stamps. 1.5 mil. Where do these dealers come from?  |

The seller has only ever received feedback on 26 transactions for sold items, as most of his trading on ebay has been as a buyer. The only philatelic item the seller has ever sold was a 2023 Scott Classic Worldwide Catalog. Ironically, they apparently didn't use it when coming up with a price for this collection. Typo fixed |
