Condo's went up 22% in July in King County (Seattle)! Single family house sales are still red hot. The avg house in Seattle was $470k last I checked and a condo is approaching $300k.

Did you hear about Jimmy Carter's oil plan? He wanted to trade peanuts for oil. That way, if OPEC cuts off the oil we cut off their nuts!

pre- embargo Cubans are very nice if you can get them

I listen to Aqualung by Jethro Tull everytime Cramer comes on.

This idea could only make sense if one were using large amounts of money and trading a basket of individual stock picks or option picks or whatever. It does not make sense if one is trading $20k or trading indexes. My guess is his 2% rule is to eliminate unsystematic risk (is this the right...

He may have realized that they had value, but not have known what their value was. Giving them to a knowledgeable shelter worker wouldn't be out of the ordinary. I'm sure he is a swell guy, but what are the odds he can read or ever saw a savings bond before? I'm glad the community is...

$100- how pathetic. Just to play devil's advocate: it is quite possible that the homeless person did not really know what he had or did not know how to "cash" the bonds.

I wanted to put out Ray Buchanan for the uninitiated. Glancing through the thread, it appears there are duplicate solo picks. You can have the lock on The Fly if you want. I'll go with Stairway to Heaven :D

solo: The Fly by U2 riff: In The Evening by Led Zep Ray Buchanan put out some great blues for those that have not listened.

It was more of a rolling. I remember it all though. Fortunately I had about 50 pesos it seems in a pocket that they did not take which got me a busride back and a sandwich the next day. They got some cash and a Maurice Lacroix watch. I had to enter the US with a crumpled declaration of...

Great, mugging stories on ET! I got mugged in Cancun in '97. Luckily there was only two days left on the spring break trip. Never take a taxi alone when you can hardly stand and always put some pesos in a sock.

I basically talked my way out of being mugged several months ago. I was walking by a hospital late at night alone with a laptop in a bag. These two teenagers started following me. I stopped beside a lit house and they stopped. Then they asked if I knew where they could "buy some weed." I...

I think it went underwater. By the way, where is Ingrid Casares? sorry.

Battle River: that is curious about the wired v. wireless. Can you access other websites using the wireless? You might try using IE as your browser (latest version) just in case you are using Mozilla, Firefox or Safari. Also double check the caps lock/ case sensitive login.

Sjpooz Top: depending on where you are located what type of isp service you are running, you would want to check to see if you need to be in dhcp or pppoe. If pppoe, make sure that it is on the router AND not the computer. Also, it sounds like you could maybe have an IP conflict so check for...

Move the router, modem/hub, whatever away from one another (are they stacked?). firmware upgrade. Check and see if someone in your team messed with the QOS. Do you have some kind of superpowered corporate firewall? Oh, and make sure you delete cookies, temp internet files and defrag every...

My trades will be posted once every few weeks and only after they have been closed. That way, I don't get accused of getting a big gun locked into a stock with a 3 million share float although that type of stuff isn't all I trade. Cheers.

Snuffuluffagus Trading Co. is investigating TAYD. interesting pattern reminiscent of GEOI and GV pre- major runup. barely coming off the base and nano float. profitable. they are testing an earthquake shock protection device geared towards private residences and CA. I don't know if their...

I guess that I will lump in everything together.

Many public schools are essentially private schools. Take Summit HS in Summit, NJ. The township of Summit spends well over $30k/ yr per pupil. Attending the Delbarton School of NJ costs about $24k/ yr. Even accounting for the money coming from the endowment, gifts, donations, etc. that are...
