    That's why I said supposedly. And yeah, home values are insane. I can't believe my house has doubled in the last seven years. I'd never pay the price for the house I'm in now.

    So, since this guy's quotes keep popping up, I thought I'd look him up. How has no one made his life into a movie? He was a technician before there was TA. $100 million in the 1920s had to have been all the money in the world. He went bankrupt twice. He bought all the cotton in the US and...

    Interesting. Supposedly 14% of all inflation is coming from used vehicles. Know any auto dealers right now? They are cleaning up. A friend of mine who is a car salesman told me to not buy a car right now. Dealers are marking up vehicles 100% here. You'd have to be desperate to pay 60k for...

    Held and bought more through the panic. End of story.

    I don't want to totally endorse postcardmania, because they did screw up an order of mine once pretty badly. There was a time when I took everyone in our area that made over 100k a month and had them on weekly rotation. In a four week month, I'd hit 25% of the market every week. They screwed...

    Tmac, this may be what you are looking for. They claim they can mail your list, and then target them digitally at the same time. They may also be able to help with consulting. I may see what they can do for me digitally. Obviously, you are getting more headspace and frequency if you can send...

    Hindsight? The data was there in November. Pretty sure I posted this here, but this was the first data that said omicron was weak, on Gottlieb and Tom Lee's feeds. And then if you listened to their statements on CNBC, they kept hinting it was going to be negligible. I bought in December...

    I fully believe in targeting. This week, we've only had 8 customers call, and have sold just under 20k in service fees. We closed every ticket, I believe. Its always slower this time of year. Hell, when I bought the company, they were doing 25k the entire month of January. We start our TV...

    So then you could: - send them mailers monthly - target them digitally (postcardmania claims they target anyone you send a mailer to) - add a FB pixel to your site, and then set up remarketing campaigns on FB/Insta/Google - target decision makers on LinkedIn - geotarget the buildings of...

    I'll hold onto my trade a bit longer, and then keep my core position. I'm not second guessing you, thats a decision I made last month.

    OK, I vaguely remember now. Can you get a list of the company names, either through search, or the association, and then have a list of names to target, through direct mail? I did send you my guy's name, it might be worth a call.

    You dismiss the idea lightly. What size property is your average customer? Maybe you could target them based on size. Also, you said 300 customers per state. Maybe you could target certain areas where people needing forestry would be more prevalent. I know in my area, there are areas where...

    Except we knew from the waste studies in South Africa that omicron would never be do anything. Gottlieb and Tom Lee were dropping hints in November, and posting data. No one should be surprised that omicron has had close to zero impact, the data was there in November. At what point is there...

    Yes, and how did your 12-12 trade go? The one where you placed bets on it all going down, and then they went up 13%? At some point, there is max fear. You can't keep going with the masses forever. If the rest of the market wants to be insane and miss it, be my guest. They are buying back...
