* The 11th time Young Sheldon Cooper absent in cold open.
* Sheldon Cooper is too young to invest in the stock market, unless his parents invested in stock for him. Mary is usually against it, because of her religion.

* Radio Shack is still in business, but Sheldon Cooper investing in a Superstore is the worse idea ever and why he lost money. He should have invested in Walmart stock and their superstore makes money.
