So, say Obama gets in. Why does that tank the markets? I voted twice for GW and twice for GH and can admit that I prospered while Bill Clinton was in office. Democrats ain't always bad for the markets or the general economy. Personally I like to see the presidency go 8-years to one...

A live call is a live call. Nice job.

Run on the fed? What, somebody run out of ink and paper?

One more question, is there any limit on getting tourist visas? Can you just repeat over and over? Thanks. I spent some time in Tokyo and always thought I could make a living and have alot of fun there, maybe try to get on with Bloomberg. Saw quite a few gaijins with aston martins downtown...

What duration is that, 90 days? How do you refresh it, just take a visit back to U.S. or HK? How long do you have to be out of Thailand in between tourist visas? Thanks.

It ain't that straightforward. Yeah, we all despise a drunk. And everyone recognizes that being impaired during trading is unwise. Yet, there is something here. I'm sure the OP was referring to that very narrow band of consumption that leaves one enlightened, quick-minded and with balls of...

Hmm. Here is a Matlab routine I wrote to pull time off the cesium beam standard at the Naval Observatory: function java_time % make the swing class names available as Matlab functions import javax.swing.*; % make the java.awt class names available as Matlab functions import...

Yep, seriously.

Air? What volume at what pressure? It sounds like a freaking bomb. If a fender-bender takes out a city block its unlikely it would ever be approved for the U.S..

"He just can't help the grunting. Nor can he help shouting "Woo-woo!" or "Great song!" or "Good burn," or — inexplicably, "You go, girl!" That's what a spin-class workout is all about, hedge-fund manager Stuart Sugarman testified yesterday, taking the stand as the victim in the bizarre...

You need to find a Trader Joes. :D

It would be pretty sweet if Ahmadinejad ran into some trouble but, like a previous poster, I suspect that money went partly to fuel enrichment, partly to weapons programs and probably a few nice homes in Dubai.

Wow. 60 miles range too. I'll look into it, thanks.

So, where are the plug-in electric cars? Tesla Roadster? $100k+ and not a fit with my priorities. GM Volt? I'll believe in it when I see it in a GM showroom. Not availbable until 2010 (if at all). Show me a plug-in car (not some glorified golf-cart) that I can buy right now that has...

What kind of person walks away when only 200k underwater? Seems self-defeating. Wreck your credit, incur a deficiency judgement (only if you have refinanced or taken a HELOC), displace yourself and your family? Thats messed up. Better to sell at current market and maybe have to kick in a...

Screw Dubai, I want a beachfront condo on Kargh: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,352579,00.html :D

1 year in the biz doesn't constitute a "main influence". I'm an EE and take on an occasional diversion for a year or two. I would cycle or walk if that was possible. I did a sabbatical at a hedge fund in Chicago and took the L and Metra. My vehicles sat in the garage. If I lived in the loop...

I used to look for oil and remember the industry getting crushed in a 1981 oil glut. At that time oil prices increased to the point where it made economic sense to go find and produce oil. Eventually enough production capacity built up that prices crashed and many geotechnical firms went out of...

All of my adult life Iran has been asking for a bloody nose. Its like the kid in the schoolyard half your size who insists on a fight. I'm guessing something like this will happen: The Iranian "navy" will send some knuckleheads in cigarette boats out to harrass the USN in the gulf and will...
