Few cents. Inflation rate is rough.

I meant how many miles do you need before you can get a ticket.

Ah. Answer depends hugely on program and where you want to go. Say a business class return to Asia, 100-200k miles, roughly.

It really depends, but a rule of thumb is a point is worth a penny.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Wasn't reading on the news feed for SQ (which incidentally is doing quite well, 13.65 at the moment) that they just bought Caviar, a restaurant delivery service in Philly.

What is a start up that is still losing money doing buying out another company?

AMAT has been an awesome stock for me over the last year, and PCAR...which I honestly bought primarily because their HQ is in my hometown...has been popping recently too.

Update:

BIGLY MONEY

Heh a rising tide lifts all boats - my portfolio has done very well since the election, having been relatively anemic all year. No idea why.
