Off to Vegas

I will be departing soon for Vegas, in order to properly lurk–anonymously–amidst the scads in attendance. In the meantime, I will assign a caretaker to iBankCoin (extra Shining), to look over things while I am away. I am sure I will bang out a blog or two, but in a supporting role no doubt.

In case you’ve been hiding under a rock, iBankCoin is hosting its first ever investors conference, MC’d by our very own Ragin Cajun. Guest speakers include founder and chairman of StockTwits, Howard Lindzon and Yahoo Finance anchor Jeff Macke, formerly from CNBC’s Fast Money. If you are unfamiliar with Jeff, do a youtube search. He’s great.

The keynote speaker will be The Option Addict aka The Man speaks to the dead for mind-blowing stock tips. For an additional fee, we are also hosting a special VIP cocktail party, after hours (pun intended). There are a few seats left, so feel free to hop on a plane and bathe in the glory that is iBankCoin.

After the close, GPRO appointed Zander Laurie to head up their burgeoning media division, the very same division that Citron built their bear thesis around. On a stack of burning bibles and holy korans, one could only hope for a pullback in the shares–heading into the X-mas season.

In summary, Le Fly is up, up and away, oil is dead, and GPRO bears are plain ole vanilla gay.

    Absolute massacre in the election. Laid to waste. Obliterated. The end of an era. King Coal?

    Can’t wait for one of the speakers to thank you for hosting the conference and then pointing you out and revealing you on accident.

    You should just wear a hazmat suit and not worry about it. “There’s Le Fly, over there, in the hasmat suit.”

    BALT down 12% on no news? DRYS reports tonight and hoping this isn’t foreshadowing. Love Vegas – had a great dinner at Giada’s in the Cromwell.

    So…

    For ALL you DIY’ers out there (in the unlikely event there are any) …

    I’m looking at running over 100′ of 12/3 gauge power cord to operate a 15 amp reciprocating saw … among other power tools … for a project I have !

    I am WELL AWARE of potential “voltage drop” issues with long power cords !

    I am ALSO aware that 12 gauge is prolly NOT “optimal” for this “scenario” !

    BUT, does anyone have ANY personal experience that might provide a “real world” insight to this set-up ???

    Can I …  “get away with”  … 12 gauge power cord at this distance (100′ plus)  … or, ANY gauge power cord at this distance ???

    —–

    Feel free to post feedback …

      I have a 100′ 12 gauge power cord hard wired to a Bosch 15 amp worm drive, no problems.

      I use a cheap B&D saw with a 75′ 16 gauge cord plugged into my garage, which is 50′ from the breaker box on 12g wire, and it works great.
