Judy Evans @JudyEv (381815) • Rockingham, Australia 7 Apr

One of the people selling wares at the Nungarin markets had a collection of signs for sale. I thought this one was quite funny. We have a few ‘ocker’ (redneck Australians, I guess) who can’t talk without swearing. They don’t even...

Another Opportunity to Buy More Walmart

Jim Bauer @porwest (112724) • United States 21 Feb 23

Earnings calls are sometimes an interesting thing. You can, for example, beat expectations, but still not paint a rosy picture for the future and short term investors react. I say short term investors for good reason. As...

Lynn Fowler @lynnief (1203) • Australia 22 Mar 18

As I've mentioned a couple of times here on MyLot, I regularly have a stall at various markets signing my books. For me the benefit is not just selling a few books, but getting my name out there and making some contacts. I go to...
