Someone here defending Burr claimed they were happy with our new men's bb coach because he "cheats" [hopefully this is not to be the case].
Makes sense.

Wrong. Usually, the lawyer is the reason the client comes close to be made whole. Insurance companies like the Reff’s State Farm, Allsnake and Nationwide have long low balled claimants and forced them into litigation/trial to get justice. Without good attorneys willing to take those bastards to trial, they would never voluntarily pay anything fair to anyone.Right. And lawyers love it. Because it means they take 40 cents of every dollar that the injured person is owed. Imagine being injured/maimed/permanent disfigured and know you’re never going to be made whole because you HAVE to hire a lawyer.
A simpler, fairer system would put them out of business. Just like how H&R Block spends tens of millions to lobby against tax reform.
But he and his BIL sold at 30. Your boy Trump and Burr were downplaying COVID (publicly) until March.
The point is well taken, but that's easily distinguishable. Most of my friends in sales receive a base salary, and even the one I can think of who is 100% commission has a built-in customer base with their company. So yes, more sales means more money, but that's not what's happening in most plaintiff's injury cases. I never claimed lawyers are the only people who make more if they have more success. That would be ridiculous.
I'm asking for an example where a client can come to you, as a professional, and not owe a dime unless there is a successful outcome based on your services. Oh, and that also means that any expenses pursuing that outcome on behalf of said client are eaten by the professional in the event of an unsuccessful outcome.
Oncologists and personal injury plaintiffs' lawyers - Interesting comparison.
Okay but that doesn’t change the fact that Burr sat in meetings with top level information about the disease and it’s impending threat in January and February and was well aware of the ramifications it was having globally.[/QUO
Sure he did. But he also saw what a lot could see coming by also putting 2 + 2 together from seeing the tea leaves from China and a couple of those stranded cruise ships. I know when that one cruise ship got stranded outside the U.S. in early March, it scared me enough to get out of my largest position in Shopify [SHOP] which had exploded way up the ladder. Can't say I got out of everything in a timely fashion, but by getting out of SHOP, sitting for a few weeks & surveying the situation, it enabled me to find great positions Covid & post-Covid stocks like TDOC [up 100], NFLX, DOCU, Zoom [ZM] [in & out], ROKU [in & out],
DXCM [up 200+ since Covid]. And the best tip I can give you--OPK @ only $2.10 right now--starting doing ALL the Covid testing in NY as BioReference Labs [nation's 3rd largest lab], now up to 35,000 per day and 700,000 total and most all of these will hit in 2nd qtr earnings Aug 6. Just inked a contract to do ALL the antibody testing for NYC residents plus will be running up to 400,000 antibody SARS-Cov-2 specific tests by mid-May. So do your own due diligence but check out this stock. It could make you wealthy. Options are cheap also!
Lawyers level the playing field with the insurance companies, who have lawyers working hard on their side.
Don’t leave out your best financial tip reff! If you tell the government your business has dried up (wink) they’ll send you free money straight from the pockets of honest taxpayers! Free money!
Did not dry up for sure but like other small businesses, we all get hurt because people are not out there conducting normal business. People are not buying new cars and people are not buying new houses. Nor are they driving near that much and on that front our company is giving back a very nice $2 billion dividend in June. For all auto insurance companies I am sure when each state allows their rate revisions & changes [NC is usually in Oct & April], you will see a reduction in auto insurance rates due to the lower incidents of accidents during this period. So yes, because of the Covid virus there will be income reductions whether you see them as warranted or not--self-employed agents still have the same exact bills to pay & hopefully same staff on their payroll. Thus the need for the Stimulus monies.
But also hopefully you look at a couple of those stocks that are post-Covid type stocks that seem to make a lot of sense. Plus the little drug stock--OPK. I loaded up on a lot of call options on it--May & June $1.00 plus some Sept & Dec $2.00 & $3.00 along with a lot of shares!!! With that much testing being done at around $100 per pop [35,000 per day] plus the new antibody testing & deal with RiteAid for drive thru testing it has tons of promise thru the end of the year as the country gets back to work!
This thread has taken a turn, but thanks for the stock tip Reff. Looks interesting for sure. Now if Senator Burr is recommending it to his close family and friends, I’m all in.
