What is the difference between a RIP and a MEGA RIP?'
And, in WHAT TIME FRAME........a month, a year, a decade or a century?
I keep hearing about this stuff and was wondering about these definitions.
Thanks for your input.

| Rip, buying something for half or less. Mega rip, buying something and making 10 times or more. Mega rips, Apple stock at 1.42, bitcoin at .13 cents etc. Geno |

I went to a clearing sale once and bought a lot of 10 dial indicators for $40.
I thought I did pretty good.
Went and did the paying thing at the end and as I turned to walk away the guy asks "Don't you want the rest of them?
There was another box with about 50 more.
I thought that was a bit of a bargain at the time.
RIP ??
Perhaps but I did not actively seek it out which I think is part of the RIP term. |
