why I don't like fat people
Several months ago I was at the gate (O'Hare) reading a book while I waited for my flight to board...two fat families roll into my area and there wasn't seating available. So what do they do? Plant the wild fat kids in the empty seats to run off the person sitting next to them. Next the... -

Are people excited that Beckham has come to the US?
Well the USA soccer market says it's going up. Apparently a franchise costs $30mm now plus the stadium. Miami would make a great spot. 5mm+ people ~70% latino. :D -

Are people excited that Beckham has come to the US?
I am long soccer in the USA. The catalyst is the steady inflow of mexicans into our major US cities. It's been two years now, but me and a friend spoke with the MLS commissioner about future markets for a team. A team only ran about $10mm if I recall but you had to build a dedicated stadium... -

Goldman Hedge Fund takes it on the chin
Not screwed yet at least. LTCM failed because they were out of capital to meet additional calls. Goldman, Tudor, Caxton are just down right now. They could go up, down, or sideways from here...time will tell. :D- Enfinity

Aneurysms are no joke. I knew a guy that was an Executive for Ford Motor Credit that had an aneurysm and he was never the same person again. He went from being an executive at a proud American company (Ford 80's-01) to functioning as an entry-level admin. He was given the admin job out of... -

why such Huge Losses if the Loans are COLLATERIZED?
The bridge in Minnesota failed because it wasn't fixed. It was more important to build new stadiums for Carl Polahd's Twins and the mighty Gopher football team...lol Sorry, it's funny reading that! In all seriousness though, the important issues are low on the priority list of many cities... -

Buffett, ignorant on economic theory?
Exactly, thank you Bogan. Buffett is running a HUGE chunk of money so his time horizon is definitely going to be different than 99% of traders/investors out there. All traders and investors are "value investors," just different shades of perceived value and only a few are successful. :D -
