Amazing ain't it? Everyone thinking after the 5th round draw, Bournemouth away - rubbish draw etc. Turned out to be a thoroughly enjoyable match, and superb result. Huge morale booster as well for the rest of the season.

Yeah hate that one. Can't understand why there are so few well-written, well-designed and non-annoying ads anymore

For sheer manic celebrations and utter joyous bewilderment, I would say my top matches are: Shrewsbury FACQF 1982 Cambridge (H) Play-off SF 2L 1992 Swindon - Wembley Play-off final 1993 Seville (H) CL R16 2017 Palace - Wembley Play-off final 1996 Liverpool (H) PL 2015/16

It would be fascinating if a Shrewsbury fan who was there that day could come on here to share his/her memories of that wild day - view from the opposite stands and all that

Always loved both of 'em. Youngy scored 2 in my first ever visit to Filbert St. And I always remember Melrose getting a superb hat-trick in a 3-0 friendly win over Red Star Belgrade - still have the matchday 'program' for this one - a 4 page leaflet!

Does anyone remember a song we used to sing back then - it was called 'Goodbye Horse' ?

Yes I remember standing in the Holte End, singing about how we were gonna sink the Argie's ships. And also bizarrely enough, singing about the Leicestershire-trained horse Grittar who had won the Grand National that day!

I was a kid in SK3 that day, and just watching the highlights on YT, what amazing memories. Just some things that I had forgotten, or that stood out for me watching those highlights: -Barry Davies' low-key but appreciative commentary; none of today's scripted nonsense. -Fans on the pitch when goals were scored. -Double-decker and North-stand limbs. -Amongst all the keeper drama, Youngy catching a corner like a seasoned goalie. -Still attacking like mad when 5-2 up. -Coaching staff smoking in the dugout. -Shrewsbury had SK2 that day. -Chic Bates general thuggery and intimidation, including of course the foot-up straight-leg challenge on Wallington. Don't think he even got booked. -The inevitable and joyous pitch invasion at the final whistle. What an emotional rollercoaster of a game! I suppose there aren't many on FT who were there that day.

We will get promoted and Stoke will drop to League 1. The circle is complete!

Good day today for me!

Theoretically, at the fixed one-off price you pay today, you are paying for multiple years of the increased revenue so you cannot compare 1-year stock price percentage increase to 1-year revenue percentage increase. It's fairly easy to do a DCF (discounted cash flow) analysis on a company for say the next 10 years, though some guess work is required when estimating growth rate per year. This will indicate how fair the share price is today, and what effective P/E ratio you will be getting after 10 years if you buy at today's price. Basically the longer you hold a stock, the more you are forgiven for paying a premium in the first place. In any case.. 1. No one here is really advocating buying the shares at the current price (FOMO-ing in) 2. At some point the demand will probably slow down and the share price will drop accordingly, so this needs to be taken into account if buying. As stated elsewhere in this thread, if you are a long term investor you just need to do your homework, keep an eye on things, follow the earnings calls, listen to future guidance etc.

Is that his nickname?

2 to be exact!

Are we in the top 5 by any chance?!

Not convinced. I'm still with the donkey crowd

Insane really. You would expect a home win in a game like this to happen more than just once in 6 attempts, so long term profitable

Not true. Q3 2023 $18B, Q4 2023 $22B

Is this the default view of the nigh-all-in crypto investor? As far as I can remember the world has been going to shit since the 80's! Wrt your previous comments, most of the S&P 500 has performed poorly over the last couple of years, its only the few mega-caps that have dragged it upward. So maybe it is just those big tech stocks that are over-priced and need correction? Won't help an index investor if they crash of course, as they are so heavily weighted in the index. At the end of the day we live and die by our own investment choices!

You won't be disappointed now

Glorious evening, and I ain't talking about the weather!

You mean in addition to Middlesboro and Leeds?

Surely we cannot know what it is doing right now until another 12 billion years has elapsed?

GDP includes exports but would not include sales that some huge companies make in other countries. The best example I can find is that a company like Amazon makes a lot of money from fulfillment centres and sellers in Asia. This profit would be priced into the Amazon share price but has no impact on US GDP. This globalisation aspect (especially of the mega cap companies) has increased gradually over time, so that particular ratio will naturally increase. I believe Warren Buffet himself may have stated something similar - or at least stated that we cannot rely on one single measure over a long period of time.

There is a natural trend upwards of this indicator because of new technologies and the global reach of US companies. The market value of these companies is naturally increasing compared to the US GDP figure. So probably unfair to directly compare it to previous values. The stock market is still somewhat overvalued though, the Schiller PE ratio is currently at about 33. It was at 44 before the .com crash. I take it you are 100% cash then?

Here's hoping for a hefty one
