Tmader7, Thanks for the reply, I knew you were a good guy and knowledgeable and that's why I asked my question to you. No I didn't buy a lot and as to the reason I did buy a friend passed a piece of paper to me and said buy yourself some of that......LOL Too bad it said BLKG instead of GOOG.....LOL Anyhow thank you and best of luck to you on the games.
Awe Gee, think I'm gonna blush, LOL. That's pretty funny about Alphabet, yeah, don't we all. I got one better that I mentioned to some of the guys I share my stock/investing intel with. William Shatner was paid for being Priceline's Spokesman in Priceline stock, which at the time was trading around a buck, maybe a little less. The gave him a million shares, might have been some cash involved, can't remember as that was years ago, but I did remember the stock, the reason being that the shares now trade around 1,700.00/share, actually around 15 bucks more. Do the math, LOL. And your "piece of paper," lol, I had a guy wearing a plaid jackey, madras slacks, shades and a Bear Bryant houndstooth hat standing behind me in one of the betting lines at Remington Park in Oklahoma City. Guy passes a piece of paper with the horse to bet in the 7th. Damn race wasn't even close, the horse came in by 12 lengths. Found the guy after the race and asked him how he came up with the winner. Turns out the jockey was a female and it was her birthday, guy knew her personally, said all the other jockeys got together and concurred that she should win the race as a birthday present. True story.....and that was the LAST time I ever bet the ponies except for Triple Crown races, LOL.
