    Citadel first Hedge Fund to sell Bonds ($2 billion)

    You guys are displaying your financial ignorance publicly when you make comments like these. King Solomon once said, "even a fool who remains silent appears wise." ...consider that before you respond next time! In direct response to this ridiculous post, the quest for an investment grade...

    James Bond's Ford

    I found myself asking the question of, "when is this going to end." The DBS was sick though. Put me down for one of those! I found the movie slow-moving and too dramatic. I also didn't like Craig's metro thing...he's not a man's man. As such, he's not a real woman's man either!

    Stop gloating over declining home prices - it hurts

    Pabst, I know you're a fellow Chicagoan...are you paying any attention to what's going on in the local real estate market? Right now, the smart real estate money is on the sidelines and enjoying their cash-flowing rentals piling up cash for future opportunities. Chicago isn't even that...

    Ken's all business and knows that at 15bb aum the $ isn't in the return, it's in the management of volatility and achieving respectable alpha...not blowing the doors off all the competition. ...any more rumors?

    Company stock options vs. owning the stock

    As I said before, go to the HR department or go to a full service firm with a private client services department and ask for a cashless stock-option analysis on your options. Don't take tax advice from anyone on the internet. My advice is seek qualified advice.

    Company stock options vs. owning the stock

    Get in touch with your company's HR department, they should have a financial partner for completing cashless stock-option exercise programs. your biggest concern is AMT... if the HR department doesn't have a firm they work with do yourself a favor and find a broker at a full-service firm...

    5 days before the election- Jobs report

    Just so we're clear on my position, I don't think CEO's are paid enough dollars to compensate for what they give up and the responsibility they're given. I base that on the much greater monetary wealth that can be accumulated pursuing alternative paths. The catch to the alternatives is that...

    5 days before the election- Jobs report

    dooodooo... If you knew a Fortune 500 ceo or officer you wouldn't envy them. The path to being a CEO sucks putting it bluntly. IMO the money they make wouldn't be enough to satisfy me to the extent that I would have to alter my lifestyle outside of my present activities. Fortune 500...

    Are private charities any better then goverment programs?

    Angel investing is the best vehicle for an affluent person to do charitable giving...imo of course! I won't go into my feelings towards *most* charities and the government! I appreciate the efforts of an entreprenuer with a viable idea. Charitable giving can be diversified like investment...

    SPX Has Topped For The Year Or Pabst Will Leave ET

    For what it's worth, I keep hearing amateurs talk about the easy money from pre-election rallys... I don't forsee outright capitulation myself, rather a more drawn-out correction when we do get it. On the other hand...if energy busts the entire thing busts. That's the most crowded...

    Brian Hunter left Amaranth

    There's a reason why hedge funds are restricted to accredited investors only...Hunter will have his own fund next time around. If you want to put up big numbers you have to trade in the high risk markets. And don't feel sorry for the SD pension fund people... If you need to hate on...

    Would you buy a house, anywhere in the US, right now?

    There's virtually an infinite supply of land in TX. It's ridiculously hot in the summer. There's nothing scenic about the metro areas. Oh yea, you have to be a Cowboys fan too...any questions?:D:D:D OTOH, those blondes...
