DJT has revised its FAQ’s twice to address how to prevent shares being used for short selling. Initially it was a short and simple “tell your broker to keep the shares in your cash account”.
The latest is much more in depth, and includes scaremongering and an actual copy of a letter to send your broker to prohibit allowance of the use of shares in a loan scheme to enable short selling.
Currently just below $30 a share.

Perhaps the Head of Lettings and Property Management at Fife Properties? If so, I'm sure Fife Letting, a primary sponsor, wouldn't have been happy, eh?

One consequence of folk believing in the supernatural...
"A Canadian man was sentenced to 10 years in prison today in the Eastern District of New York for perpetrating a massive psychic mass-mailing fraud scheme that stole more than $175 million from more than 1.3 million victims in the United States."
It really is time that this nonsense was put in the bin.
With that many people victimised, I was expecting it to be the Catholic Church or such…

It's absolutely embarrassing and shameful that the SPFL don't have the dates finalised for the playoffs by now.
Fans are trying to plan work shifts, child care etc while Doncaster and his cohorts are sitting with their thumbs up their arses.

Im in the same boat of requiring time off and needing the dates asap.
One can assume two things; planning concerns and the SPFL don’t give a flying f*** about anything other than the top league.
My best bets are QF Tuesday/Friday (7 May and 10 May) and SF Tuesday/Friday (14 May and 17 May). Since Finals are down for Wed, 23 May and Saturday, 26 May and the League ends Friday, 3 May, there isn’t much other choice.
Each of those days could slide a day either way with minor impact, but otherwise that’s about the only option. However, we know they won’t go Wed/Sat due to the Premiership matches on Saturdays, and the only other item on the SPFL Key Date list is the Champions League 2nd Leg on 7/8 May. Given that, the only one of those dates that might change would be the QF to the Monday, 6 May…and I don’t see any of the six possibly involved teams causing that.

Not sure how to put this - anyone got any wee positive thoughts or ways to look at the future?
Getting up, doing my shift, and doing f**k all but go through the motions day after day, week after week is really, properly taking its toll on me.
Set some small goals. Plan some minor things to do. Work on a list of places to see and set up a way to watch for opportunities to visit. It doesn’t have to be big, fancy, extravagant or wild, but things that you are interested in or curious about.

Was my little secret and everything was a show when around people including my wife. In October I listened to a voice in my head (been in my head for a while) and I was going to hang myself from the upstairs banister. Had everything ready my wife was out with my youngest child and my oldest was at nursery so I knew I had time to do what was needed. What saved me that day was my wife forgot to take bottles for my 5 month child with her. Seen the doctor next day who put me on sertraline. Got told I may get worse before I get better with the tablets as it takes roughly 6 weeks for the meds to take effect. Suicide attempt number 2 took place not long after where I took a lot of pills somehow my Mrs was suspicious on what I was doing so came to check on what I was doing and she stuck her fingers down me throat which got what I took out.
Seen a new doctor who I took a liking to and felt I could trust her and could come out of this dark hole with her help. For me I didn’t know why I felt so low, depressed, tired and basically so useless. I’ve got a wife, 2 kids, a house, full time job and no money troubles so for me I had no reason to feel how I was feeling. The doctor said you don’t have to have a reason which is true but for me I needed a reason. I asked for my bloods to be took for an under active thyroid as it was borderline a few years back and this came back as underactive. Levels should be 0.5 to 2.0 mine was over 100. One side effect of an underactive thyroid is depression.
Everything started to get normal after getting on the right meds and after 4 months off work I returned to work in January. As people do work mates was curious on why I had so much time off work and if everything was fine. I was open and honest to my work colleagues and told everything what had happened.
Unfortunately after 4 days after returning the voice in my head came back and wouldn’t leave me alone and I took a drug overdose while my wife and kids slept. The Mrs found me and was rushed to hospital by ambulance where I had my stomach pumped. The voice in my head failed again and told me better luck next time when trying again.
Straight away I had the mental health team come and see me in hospital and for a month after my release from hospital. They helped me with routines and things I can do if I ever got back to the dark place which has really helped me.
Mrs never fully understood how I could do this especially with having such young children. My children was my motivation to get past this darkness. Walking my daughter down the aisle or seeing my son getting married had always been on my mind and motivation on why I needed to keep going in life. When the voices came into my head them things didn’t matter to me and i was totally numb to it all and I was fine about killing myself and the kids not having a father in both of their life’s. The motivation for me now is still my kids but I’m not thinking about the future and them possibly getting married. They need me in their life’s right now whether that’s playing Barbie’s with my daughter and watching frozen for the millionth time or changing my 9 month old son’s backside while he’s smiling at me. They both need a daddy figure now and forever and I’m no use to them dead.
Been back at work for 3 weeks where I’ve told people the story of what’s happened. I’m not embarrassed or ashamed of what I’ve done as I was down a very deep hole and I couldn’t see a way out and the voices in my head told me it was ok to do what I was doing. Luckily I’ve not had any voices since January and I’m on the road to recovery. Take every day as it comes while keeping a positive mindset. Still got a long road ahead of me but I’m feeling good about myself. Also getting tested for autism/ADHD. Unfortunately I’ve got to be 3 months stable before I get a diagnosis but spoke to a specialist who is leaning towards Autism but won’t know until May time when I get my full assessment done.
Depression is nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed about. The hardest part is opening up and admitting it to people about it. Once you’ve done that then get the help and support you need to get you through it.
Sorry for rambling on although if one person reads this and feels the same as I have done and makes them want to get the help then thats all that matters.
Thanks for sharing that. It makes my occasional doubts and concerns seem paltry and makes me feel lucky that I’ve not had that harrowing experience. It’s so difficult to convey sometimes exactly what depression is or can be, and that description breaks through that wall, grabs you by the scruff and demands you look.
I’m extremely glad you had that team to support you and the loving spouse who saved you. Stay strong and know there are people willing to listen if you need it. A person like you, willing to open up and discuss these matters, can save dozens, if not hundreds, of people.

A quick peek into the Premiership and League One tells us:
Livi are joining the Championship next year, with Ross County and St. Johnstone in the best position to get another home match at seasons end, although none of the Dons, Motherwell or Hibs are excluded from that possibility.
Falkirk are coming up, with the Accies certain to be in the playoffs. Meanwhile, Alloa are extremely likely participants, but Montrose are suddenly looking vulnerable to being caught by either a staggering Cove or a rolling Kelty...although it would take some doing by Kelty! However, as Montrose's showing at Edinburgh City today shows, it's still possible. This weekend will clarify a lot with the top six playing each other (Falkirk v Kelty, Montrose v Accies and Cove v Alloa).

Wish somebody had asked about a reserve side being formed. My opinion is that it is a crucial aspect for a club going forward towards the Prem. Gets injured players match fit and keeps the sqad players fit at the same time. Can also bleed through some decent young players again and maybe get the next Crawford, Cameron and Dairs coming through.
I know academy was mentioned but thats not the same thing.I submitted exactly that question. It wasn’t selected for the first portion of the session, and the one version that was selected was answered without addressing or touching upon a reserve side by Potter, and without Barrowman stepping in to mention it. As such, I didn’t think they’d add much, if anything, to it being asked again.

2 hours ago, McGuigan1978 said:The SPFL Reserve League looks like a complete waste of time. There's only nine teams in it and they play each other once.
I can't imagine there's that much extra benefit to participating in that, compared to just playing sporadic bounce games to give fringe players game time or get injured players back up to speed.
There was also the discussion last year about bringing a side into the Reserve League for this season, and by the beginning of this season it was openly said that we had declined to enter a side this season (as it was “too soon”) and were unlikely to enter one for 2024-2025.
Since I only had one question I could ask, I elected to re-ask the question on teams they looked to for inspiration that they had ducked earlier. I think Barrowman and Potter’s answers were interesting, in that they clearly show the Board and Staff is genuinely focused on reaching top six as a medium-term goal.

Having a defence that can't stop leeking goals is without doubt a bug in the system.

The cladding will actually protect the surface and reduce costs in the long run. The issue is one of agreeing how to affix the cladding in an approved way and also add fireproofing behind it. The LED board is a separate matter, and the cladding is to be done regardless of the LED planning status.

Weird what yer heid worries aboutThat's impressively mental, so to speak. Moreso the fact they've got a system that requires you to actually contact someone than the other bit. Given them a ring, it's why they're there.

Struggling a bit at the moment. Re P&B Hospital post, I'm doing what I can for OT/PT but it's nowhere near where I need to be just to go home, let alone back to work. Also worried about work, I've had several lengthy absences and I have the fear the school will just terminate my contract/not offer one for the coming school year because of this.
Maybe I'm being negative here, but trust me I'm being positive when I do my therapy or talk to staff/residents here.
Ugh, sounds whiny!
Given the description you've given of the school, students and your role, I'd expect you're pretty safe. But, even so, there's always a demand for teachers, especially those willing to take the not so ivory-white assignments. Like you say, focus on the OT/PT and get stronger/better, the school worries are for later.
Whine away, it's why we're all here!

I’d disagree on no news (highlights):
Snack shop has been refused, Sports Bar is still moving forward.
Plans are in place for the westside, funding will be the bugbear, as all the concrete has to pretty much go.
IM has given up on Hibs and moved to an Arsenal love-in.
Ruaridh is taking ideas from American sports, so I’d expect bobblehead giveaways soon.
The sunny hopes have been dashed.
Expect action all summer at SP as soon as the League ends.
New bras for the lads next season.
A Senior Ladies team is expected, how soon is the question.

I predict that the company will end up bust and wound up before the end of this year. I'm no Harvard MBA, but I'd suggest that a $56 million dollar loss last year off of $4.6 million in revenue while haemorrhaging users is not a recipe for a successful business venture.
That’s why you’re not a Harvard MBA. Surely there’s assets to be stripped first…

I really can't see a court putting Trump in jail, but if one did manage to do it, it would be one of the highlights of the 21st century so far.
Lawyers familiar with the Court and Judge suggest probation to 3 years in jail is the expected range…with probation nearly a slam dunk.
Interesting speculation that Trump may agree to plead guilty to a reduced misdemeanor charge that wouldn’t require testimony…and wouldn’t risk jail time.

Trump’s shares now down to a value of $2.2 billion, as the stock has dropped another 15% on news they’re looking to issue more shares via warrants. Current price about $27, so short selling enthusiasts that successfully found some shares to short are close to seeing money!
