what makes you think he was dating his wife when she was 1 years old?

how about a high-priced call girl...

things would still have turned out bad if 9/11 didn't happen. remember, the stock market had just burst in 2000-2001, unemployment was increasing, the economy was in the dumps. the fed was already in the process of lowering rates even before 9/11. ff's fell from 6.25 in 2000 to 3.0 pre-9/11...

and in 30 years you'll be that lucky guy paying $14000/yr in prop taxes when the new couple nextdoor pays $35000. will you be whining then, like you are now? shut up already. you wanna hear some whining? how about me paying nearly 200k in income taxes for 2007 when others i know pay...

there can't be a "surprise" rate cut when everyone expects one. ff futures imply a >95% chance of either 75 or 50 basis point cut. and what exactly did the last couple of rate cuts do to the stock market? :)

get crushed tomorrow? it's already happening. qqqq is down 2% from its close, as of 4:35p est. a lot of longs won't be sleeping much tonight. hehehe

you're toast. ndx & qqqq are down 2% afterhours, spx down 0.7% and sox is down 3.7%. adios, longs. :p :p :p :p :p

if your weekly average is +5%, you will not necessarily compound 103k into $1.2m. you'll likely fall short. you need to get exactly 5% each week with no drawdowns to reach $1.2m.

spx futures options are lame. you can't get the b/a so i estimate it by looking at es options and spx index options, then submit limit orders. it goes without saying that you should never submit a market order. this was back when i traded them; i don't trade them anymore. you could...

the people who say it's doable are living in fantasy land. to get 5% per week, you must take enormous risk. all it takes is one 30% drawdown and your annual goal is toast. you think you can string together 52 straight wins @ 5% each? GOOD LUCK. and psychologically, losing 30% of 150k is...

spx is down 6.7% since december 26 but vix is up a mere 20% in that time. one would expect a much greater increase. for instance, last summer when spx fell 9.8% over 3 weeks, the vix doubled. the current level of 23 hardly suggests great fear. to the contrary, it suggests some complacency...

i have some rental units, too. it doesn't take that much time if you have a management company do most of the work. occupancy rates in many places are getting very high. the market has gotten much tighter and rents have gone up quite a bit. all the people who suddenly can't afford or...

why are you guys trying to talk him out of this? he clearly understands the risks of putting most of his wealth into one stock. he's trying for the homerun ball. he'll either strike gold or strike out. so what if he wants to take this approach? i've know people in similar situations...

i don't even find her attractive. 5.5 out of 10. she's too old and a good 20 lbs overweight. she was attractive long ago but not anymore. you guys have very low standards.

i really question how much the "insurance" cost factor in health care is. years ago i was with an hmo plan, and sometimes i didn't want to go through the trouble of getting a pcp referral to go to a specialist, so i went to the specialist directly and self-paid (cash). the cost was 20% less...

calif. the plan was 300-400/month from what i recall. of course the price depends on your age and how good the plan is so it may not mean much to you that it's 300-400.

nice call, how much did you lose this time?

you can do this at best buy, too. and bby has positive earnings unlike cc. so why would anyone buy shares of cc?

when i enrolled in private health insurance, i was sent a letter by the insurance company stating that by law they must offer plans that do not deny pre-existing conditions and that i'm entitled to enroll in them if i choose. i don't know if this is a state or federal law.

this story makes no sense. with tensions high between the countries, there's no way a US navy ship would let a potential adversary come within 200 yards of it without firing at least warning shots. not after what happened to the uss cole. our military comes up with ridiculous stories and the...
