I would say that most 0% down mortgages are for 1st time buyers and are generally low end homes. I for one am in that boat. I only put down 3% 4 years ago and should walk away with enough when I sell out next year to put 20% down on different house. Granted I bought low for the area and have...

Are you serious about this?

How much tax do the poor and middle class pay? The poor pay no taxes so it is mighty hard to cut taxes when you do not pay them. Additionally, the middle class pay a much lower tax rate than the rich do. It is not low taxes that are killing us, it the "entitlement mentality" that...

Any idea what the per share price will be for us to buy in?

Thats a nice car, but has the same problems as other electrics. Range, recharge time, and a price tag that makes it impractical for anyone but those who can afford the novelty (not many). As soon as someone can produce a commuter car that can get ~200 miles on a charge and cost under 20k...

I checked into this for my house since I was putting on a new roof and was thinking about using one of these. You can "sell" your excess to the power companies when you have it and get a credit against the times you need to draw form the power companies. The only problem is that my house is...

ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz is probably right. In general people in Leinarts position are not too concerned about missing out on a few million. They still are going to be making a nice chunk of change so what is a couple more million. It is almost all about ego and the pride of being selected number...

Not really a trading reltaed questions but hopefully someone can help me. I am trying to save up about 6-months worth of expenses as a rainy day fund. I can put about $500 - $600 a month into an investment but want it to be fairly liquid and with a low possibility of loss. So far about...

Ahhh, the dreaded C word. Losers hate competition and naturally so. Winners on the other hand generally like and prefer competition; hence they are in general winners. Unfortunately in the US the liberals are trying to remove competition from our environment, especially from out kids’...

Refining is the biggest problem. To begin with the US has not built any new refinerys since the 70's. Also, the BP plant in Texas cicty (which provides 1/6 of out refininf capacity) is still shut down from last years explosion. But, it does not help that crude is going for over $70/barrel

Since when is proclaiming that you and your employess speak English (The officual language of the United States) classified as bigoted or racists? What country are you living in?

What world do you live in? Yes, that hand you are initially dealt can give you an edge in life. However, I would say that it is how you (and to an extent your parents in early life) play that hand that determines the outcome of the poker game. If you are flat out untalented then it does...

I think that is probably the biggset part of it. Who else can do what they do on that large of a scale in the short timeframe that was needed?

One of the biggest problems with the liberal "intellectuals" and their fight against injustice against minorities is that their implementation preaches lowering expectations to the lowest common denominator. It does not take into account the differences in culture that creates inequalities to...

The small minded and extreme on both sides will attempt to limit free speach in one fashion or another. I have had the fortune to know many extremely relisious persons who while may not agree with some of the free speach floating around out there, they have no desire to supress it. Personal...

I guess some professors feel that students should not be allowed to see more than one side of the coin and decide for themselves on what to believe. I guess the issue is that the complaining profs feel that they have a monopoly on intellectual thought and cannot have the subjects thinking...

The problem today is that oil companies are too short-sighted, the environmentalists too far-sighted, and politicians only concerned with being elected. Perhaps the most important thing said and the only way a solution will come about is if this dynamic changes.
