easy for you to say now, but once you're his age you'd go for anything with a vagina.

yeah she knew the type of girl i liked. i mentioned it a few times. i do dress well and work out a few hours per week, so i wasn't being unreasonable by asking her to put some effort into maintaining her weight. she admitted she likes guys who are fit and take care of themselves, but when i...

last year i was seeing this girl, who was 24 y/o and 112 lbs at the time (5'5"). over the course of a few months she got up to 120, and i dropped a hint that she should control her diet and lose weight. she agreed to do so, but wasn't successful and ended up at 124 lbs. that's 12 lbs in...

no one here knows what they're talking about re: the rebate. so far i haven't seen a single correct post. the qualifying income is based on the earned income portion of your agi. that means BEFORE deductions. cap gains, dividends and interest are not included in qualifying income...

yes, but thankfully the two side dishes are satisified with just flowers, whereas the main course wants flowers and dinner and a designer handbag.

you're obviously married for a long time. if you were dating, you couldn't get away with this approach.

that's right, it's almost valentines day, the most dreaded holiday on a guy's calendar. i'm gonna have to pony up at least $900: $170 for flowers (it's for 3 people), $100 dinner, and a $600 handbag this chick was hinting at. damnit i hate these commericalized holidays.

i know a guy who bought his 7 year old a 42" plasma. he bought his oldest child a $30k car, and he lets her drive his $75k car whenever she wants. she subsequently got three moving violations 1 year and he paid them all, but she was still allowed to keep driving the car. check out this b**ch...

because of technology and medical advances, life is generally better now than 20 years before, and has been that way every year for millenia. as a child i remember our first tv remote, it used ultrasonic not infrared. it scared the crap out of our pets. certain sounds bothered them more...

did you read my other post?? i described exactly what you should do to determine your problem, before you go out and buy a new computer. open task manager and watch your cpu usage. see if there is any correlation between high cpu usage and hiccups receiving quote data.

bad advice, he's gonna end up wasting a lot of money on a new computer and i can say with 100% certainty it will not fix his problem. his computer hardware is fine. if there's a problem, it's with his isp or perhaps a software/driver issue. i've run tos on far slower machines and it does not...

trading apps like tos are just dumb terminals. they require little cpu power, except when running analysis. for streaming quotes, even a pentium 500mhz would be fine. i've run tos on a pentium-iii mobile 1.2mhz (2002 technology) with 1gb and it runs fine, with cpu usage at <10%. i've even...

don't get overconfident. dsl users still share the isp server's bandwidth. i woudnt discount the possibility of a dsl provider doing the same someday.

tos, $100k optionshouse, $500k

real estate prices don't appear as volatile as stocks simply because they're far less liquid. if you look at reits that invest in apartments or malls or hotels, you'll see they can be rather volatile. many people have gotten wealthy from real estate but don't forget that many have lost a...

back in 2004, bush forecasted the budget deficit would decline each year until it reached 229b in 2009. so much for that. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/3941359.stm

you mean to say that csco will rise or fall after releasing earnings? shit man, that's a radical prediction, how did you come up with it?

if you're buying a house to live in, i would reconsider. just as you can value stocks with a p/e ratio, you can value real estate by monthly costs divided by average household income. by this measure, real estate is still overpriced in many places. however, for investment purposes there are...

criteria 2 and 4 pretty much eliminate ib.

3) only have as much money in your trading account as you're willing to lose. put the rest in separate cash account at a different financial institution. #2 may not work well if the market gaps significantly against you at open. if you have portfolio margin, combining 3 with 2 gives you...
