The new trend for aging musicians appears to be selling their music catalogs. I first heard about this when Bob Dylan sold his entire record catalog for an estimated $300 million. Many others have followed and today, I see Bruce Springsteen clocks in at an estimated $500 million.
Amazing...

Taught by a successful salesman I learned not to talk about Religion or Politics with clients.
Whenever they try to bring things up that are taboo, I steer the conversation away.

Design and price are the reasons for the meeting.

One of the strangest clients lingered on politics in the first meeting. After, I Googled their name to find a Facebook page with photos of them in costumes performing some odd bondage acts.

I priced the job considerably higher than it should have been. A week later the contractor notified me. They went with another cabinet company! Good.

Two rules. No Religion and no Politics.

I'm revising that to include a third rule. Nothing... not a word about the wife's looks.
I went to one appointment and the guy had a 'trophy wife' with stunning looks like a fashion model. I could see he was waiting for me to say something.
Sorry... no can do and that's a rule.

By definition: Yelp is to give a quick, sharp, shrill cry, as a dog or fox.
There is a website named Yelp.
It's intent is to offer a service where people give reviews of businesses (typically restaurants) they have visited.
You can rate (by stars) 1 to 5 where 5 stars is the most liked rating.
Along with the rating reviewers have room to explain their experience, what they like or dislike about a place.

Let's say you want to try a new restaurant and you check their Yelp page to find 1 or 2 five stars and 20 reviews only giving one star. Would that change your mind on going there?

Reading the reviews you might find people like the food and prices but dislike the long wait to get service. So the patrons may give them a poor rating.

Air Conditioning and auto repair companies often get some harsh reviews. Many are warranted and 'Yelpers' love to report dishonest businesses.

However, there are 2 sides to some of the people doing the reports. The person doing the report leaves a trail of who they yelped on and it appears some people cannot give a like to any business they tried. I call them 'the professional complainers' as nothing pleases them. They go around only giving negative reviews.

Maybe there should be a rate the reviewer where the other people can yelp on the yelper who cannot find any business they like!

After-all, the reason for the 'yelp' is to alert people to avoid a bad business.
So why would you go to a restaurant that got 40 negative reviews?

The Dollar Store announced they will be upping their prices to $1.25 starting in the first quarter of 2022.

I do and have for more than 50 years. What are you into now? Got any ideas worth looking into? I kinda gave up on Corporate stocks several years ago, it started feeling too much like gambling. These days I dabble in ETF's.

I don't know much about the stock market...only what I have heard. I guess if I was not so lazy, I probably could look up in a second the answer to my first question here...versus taking 2 minutes or longer to ask you folks. But, here it goes anyway. What moves the stock market...the value of it? Also, I wonder what would happen if the stock market took quick drop from the 30,000 mark...oh...let's say to the 8,000 mark.
