Nice post cable!!!!

This of course supposes that the only reason someone has a belief structure is to get a reward. Which in my opinion is an unsound way to form a belief system.

I had read an article about this and you are sooo right!!!! My opinion of Capitalism is that it should produce an efficient allocation of resources. This sort of tax policy seems to fuel the same sort of decisions we saw in the 80s real estate and junk boom as well as the 90s tech boom and...

I am not so sure that capitalism and good social/environmental policy can't be consistent at some level. About two months back I ran into a guy who used to have a plumbing business but recently moved into a business where he gets paid to suck the dirty oil from restaurant grease traps. Two...

This wager does not take into account a person's actions in coordination with belief. I don't believe in god, but do consider it my duty to help those who have less. I don't believe that everyone I help deserves, appreciates or will use the help wisely. But I still do it. If a god...

That's because you were not at the meeting to get the secret handshake. Just kidding, try right clicking and hitting save target as. Then open Adobe and locate the file and open it. I have had this problem since I am too cheap to purchase the new free download.

Corso, I think his TV/Article advice has been very sound. For the past three years he has been really pushing REITs, Gold and Bonds on the long side. And had some good shorts like GE and CSCO. During the same time many of the panelists did not strike me as nearly as consistent. However...

Rearden, this is the option I am thinking about most NC has a 5000k Deductible for $70 per month. But if you are not insurable it is not an option. There is no real stop-gap for people that can and will pay but may not be healthy. (Such as a diabetic controlled by diet) By the way, where...

Could not agree more. Prior to 2000 I managed a hospital business office, and before that did consulting for numerous healthcare providers. Not to turn this into a healthcare form but I did some work on a claim where a patient was admitted from another facility because she was suicidal. The...

Bung, The idea of an emergency policy available to the self employed or uninsured would be a sound social policy in my mind. I think NJ has something like this, but the cost is out of control. Currently I have had Mutual of Omaha which is leaving the market for individuals. So after 7...

According to the "Millionaire Mind" only about 7% of all Americans earn over $100,000 per year across all industries. So it seems reasonable to me that in 85% of all industries people earn less than a market return. In the market, it is pretty clear that over a 10 year period 75-85% of...

ITZ, What I found helped was to be taken off the credit card companies unsolicited mail list. The credit agencies like Equifax have an 800 number where you can opt out of unsolicited card offers. The other thing I have done is send the postage paid envelope back with the address asking to...

taodr, I was just wondering the same thing, although gold has been on a tear for several weeks. And industrial metals have been trending up most of the year as well. Maybe as simple as supply and demand? The market looks and feels really good right now. But I suppose it is a lot like...

Mr Sub, after all of our bumps I hardly consider you a stranger. :)

What are you talking about, you are a bigger ass than I suspected. Find me one thing in that quote that was hypocritical. And junk bonds had a 20% run from that post, or did you miss that? Year to year one of the best asset classes. In fact why don't you tell us all what the S&P did...

I would suggest you take $4.95 and buy "The Richest Man in Babylon" by George Clason it's lessons will be well worth the cost if you choose to follow them. As for the rest, the trick is knowing sound advice from waiting until you get the advice you want to hear.

Ahh I struck a nerve. The dilemma is a moral one. You are a miserable person who thinks the world owes them something. My advice is sound for building a prosperous life. I would not be in your position because I am responsible for me. If you left a good job with 18,000 in debt that you...
