Did I miss something?

Greetings, and I hope you are feeling better in all ways for sure. Hopefully your devoted wife & also your coin collection give you some solace during a tough time. My numismatic collection helps me deal with life’s problems & challenges, and I feel we are blessed with that too.
Best wishes to you Kaiser, and let’s get back to some fun coin talk.
Best regards,

Craig,

I was only in the inner harbor area in Baltimore in 2003 at the convention center for a 5-day coin show and convention & at my friend’s office at
T. Rowe Price company across the street from the convention center where she is an expert
multi-lingual (English, German & Scandinavian languages) licensed investment advisor. Great seafood restaurant on the edge of the harbor which had fantastic Maryland crab cakes of course – it’s name started with “McCormick,” but I didn’t catch the full name. There was a nice gay-friendly bar right nextdoor to the entrance to the T. Rowe Price offices, with a classy male bartender who served me & my female friend, and I wound up taking him out later that night to the Mt. Vernon gay bar he liked to go to for drinks & dancing & playing pool. I felt very safe there at all times.
But, my friend owns an historic row house there & as you said, Baltimore has since has had its fair share of crime/violence.

Craig,

I made a killing buying PCGS company stock as soon as they went public/Collector’s Universe (NASDAQ: CLCT) & kept buying more shares each month till a private investment company bought them & took the company private. Look up the articles about how much they offered for us to tender our shares!
I also tripled my investment in six months, buying the IPO stock of the first smokeless cigarette company, since I worked at UT with the Ph.D. Chemistry professor who invented them.
My uncle had a BA, MBA & Ph.D. in Business & was a professor at Arkansas State University for about 35 years & in early retirement started a licensed investment company with his business partner & one of my cousins who is a licensed stock broker. They specialized in serving clients planning their investments for retirement, as diversified as possible and at their own risk appetite levels. I got advice from him over the years, but stocks & municipal bonds paying tax-free dividends are about 50% of my portfolio & as a “hard money” type guy, precious metals are about 25% & the rest in things like 401(k) & a specific type of artwork from the 1950s & 60s among other categories.
Anyway, Craig, I have lived halfway around the world, East & West & many places in-between, moving every 3 years since I was born till age 18 as a military dependent & learned so very much about our world about numerous subjects in person. I speak, read & write German fluently as my second language, while many Americans are functionally illiterate. I am no neophyte Craig. Grow up!

Craig,

I am the one who posted here that Elon Musk got a USA “Golden Visa” to get here legally. And I said I’m glad he’s here in Texas because he pays property taxes & our 8% sales tax.
You obviously are no professional writer or journalist like me Craig. I worked for the largest publication of its kind in the world as a full-time, credentialed journalist (having won a national journalism internship beating out more than 300 applicants just 4 months from my university graduation after 6 years at UT) & as a literary guild member by invitation only & second place award winner for my writing portfolio. I am listed in the hard-bound world almanac as a professional contributor to & editor for the 3-inch thick reference book approved by the National Library Association for inclusion in libraries across the nation, including schools. Our publications have paid subscribers in all 50 states & 40 foreign countries for our newspaper & magazine & even more for our exclusive online-only paid website content.
What have you done today to further humanity Craig??
Mashugana, or should I say mashuganuts! (Google it). Lmao.

professor, edify: to instruct and improve : uplift, enlighten, inform. Are you an ‘arm chair’ professor also?

If only you could edify yourself about your own nature.
Are you having fun yet?

The guy who doesn’t read anything is asking if someone else knows how to read? Irony, meet Idiot.
Are you having fun yet?

Pleas stop with your snarky ‘cutting’ comments. But it does edify me as to your true nature, your highness! Lol
