    US mortgage crisis goes into meltdown

    So it appears there will be falling home prices due to excess inventory. When would be a good time to buy? A few years from now? I guess nobody really knows the answer but I would appreciate a few educated guesses.

    Suits

    What is the minimum one should spend on a suit to not look like a douchebag? I am guessing a minimum of 300, and possibly 200 at a bare-minimum clearance suit. I still don't really know how to tell the difference between say a $300 dollar suit and perhaps a $800 suit.

    Entry Level Trading Interviews

    I got grilled like crazy last night on probability and some mental math problems. Do they honestly expect you to do everything in your head on the spot, or are they more concerned with you thinking out loud and trying to figure out the problem?

    Father needs help.

    A lot of companies hire english majors. If she really wants to do something like investment banking or consulting, she could probably make a ton of money if she pulls top grades, does some business-related extracurriculars, and pulls off a good internship or two. There are lots of people who...

    Hedge Funds and Programming

    It seems to me that the smart guys major in mathematics/physics/economics (to a lesser extent)/computer science. I feel like finance, although difficult, did not really give me the quantitative or technological background I would have wanted.

    Hedge Funds and Programming

    "Why America was nuked"

    I am colorblind. I don't see colors. People say I'm white and I believe them because when policemen talk to me they call me sir. LOL (colbert) I think we should just let Israel Nuke Iran and Syria. That would take care of plenty of problems. Then we can go take out North Korea with Japan and...
