In 1979, the price for silver (based on the London Fix) jumped from $6.08 per troy ounce ($0.195/g) on January 1, 1979, to a record high of $49.45 per troy ounce ($1.590/g) on January 18, 1980, an increase of 713%, with silver futures reaching an intraday COMEX all-time high of $50.35 per troy ounce and a reduction of the silver/gold ratio down to 1:17.0.

This is unbelievable. This is pretty interesting that silver Thursday was referenced in this YouTube video. If you'd like to read more, check out the link below. I mentioned to friends recently. The fed has manipulated its own debt again. What will this do to inflation in the USA?

There's a new predators movie out! Super excited to see it.

I'm going out on a limb to say this meme is finally over, or at the minimum over within my algorithm driven feed on Facebook and Instagram. This thread is not only a collection of increasingly funny human creativity with Harambe at the center, but also a test to see what the future holds for memes. Will meme's trend the way fashion trends over the years? Continuously in and out of style, but always evolving with the new materials available? Perhaps.

We've already seen the rise of meme stocks, which are synonymous with pump and dump methods of stock buying. The only thing we're missing are the flash mobs from 2010 where communal engagement peaked. Now it's as if everyone is behind a computer screen, more connected than any other human at any point in our existence but oh so much more lonely. Hey, it's okay, pull up another meme, let's just chuckle a little.

P.S I discovered a wikipedia article published May 2 2025. Funny enough, it covers some of the potential history of this trend with some articles to support it.

While driving around town, I noticed Montrose was under construction. One of the giant "pipe blocks" lying around on the street had the name "CRH" spray-painted on it. After doing some digging, I found the stock ticker and started doing some research.

Looks like CRH is in the Basic Materials Sector within the Building Materials industry. I haven't seen a lot of stocks like this, so glad to have found one by just looking around town. The stock has a forward dividend and yield of 1.48 (1.62%) at the time of this post and an EPS of 4.71. The PE ratio is 19.35 and over the past 5 years it looks like they went from $36.77 approximately to $91.16 which is 183% growth. 2601% growth going back to 1989.

Recently, in May, there was an insider that purchased a couple of hundred shares of the stock.

What do you guy think? Would you buy or sell?

I drive through BCP all the time and see the pavilions and kids hanging out outside. Interesting enough, you're able to rent these pavilions through an online reservation system.

Damn it boys... where we dropping?

I had a high school friend reach out to me trying to get me to invest in some HWM. Sold it a few years ago though.

Funny stuff, I have absolutely no basis other than "hey a friend said it was going to go up"

I've been looking into various methods of investing and stumbled across the Sprott Physical Gold Trust which, according to their website, holds $10 Billion in assets as of May 11, 2025. Managed by Sprott Asset Management LP., they provide various market NYSE listed stocks that allow people to invest into physical metals in a non-traditional way (non-traditional in a sense where you don't have to store the gold yourself).

A friend of the family recently gifted us a book called ¡Papas y Papas! an interactive play along book that encourages tinkering with letters and pressing some letters on a book. The kids can't get enough of it, and they enjoy letter shaping and going through the various letters in English and Spanish.

Very rarely do I see a bilingual baby blog, so for parents looking for multilingual book recommendations, Erika provides great insight on where to start.

Mutual Funds:

Comments: Not exactly sure what this is, but I'm looking into it. Recently launched this month, so I'm going to keep an eye on these funds. Wish I had more to say about them.

I'm not sure where this came from but I know Harambee is looking down smiling.

In high school I was getting ready for the homecoming dance and needed a shirt. So I drove around the malls around the area. I went to town & country, Northwest and memorial City mall.

At the time, Northwest Mall seemed on its last leg. There weren't many stores other than the palais royal and the antique shop. Recently it shut down and someone decided to jump in and explore it.

I had wrapped up the day at the University of Houston and headed over to the on campus apartments to see a friend. I pulled up in my car and asked him where we wanted to grab a beer that night. Nothing too crazy, I had just wrapped up a final for Health. On the way there, had made mention of a local band he had been listening to... they didn't have these types of bands in Belize.

It's been over a decade since I heard New York City Queens and the music still resonates. So much so that when I bring up the band I forget most people often times don't know who they are because they stopped posting about their status years ago. They were covered by the Houston Press in 2015 and while I never had the pleasure of interviewing them or seeing them live... I'm glad someone else did.

Burn Out Like Roman Candles, by New York City Queens

My girlfriend and I had seen a posting online about a local band playing at Walters and we went to go see them. I had never been north of UHD and didn't know there was a small music venue named Walters

Second Lovers opened up the night and pretty much set the tone for everything. Great music with a southern twang. Very Texas.

Check them out out. Music recently fell off Spotify so I hope they're still kicking. I was looking for Whiskey Woman but can't find it online.
