Me too. I'm starting to slowly accumulate it. I'm not a gold bug, or even a metal bug, but all the talk about all the stimulus and socialist-making money being spent, and I see it as the 1970's all over again. Even money that is misallocated goes somewhere and gets spent. And when inflation...

It took the coroner over 15 hours to get the smile off his face.

Yeah, well my wife and I were watching the news and both agreed that the stockmarket is too low right now and that Wall Street was over-reacting. She said they may have been right to sell in the beginning, but ithas gone on too long. We had some chocolate and watched "Chuck" after that.

Well, I have a second mortgage on some rental property that is directly related to the prime. So my payment is way down, allowing me to spend more on other stuff. SM

x2. The cost of everything went up because energy costs were such a large part of the final cost of products. I remember prices climbing like mad...every time you went to the grocery store, stuff was a few cents more. Had a friend that attended my MBA school before I did who got into an...

I know what you mean there. I was at a paintball tournament once with this kid in his early 20s. He smoked, and drank like a fish, but I've never seen anyone run as well as him. Amazing athletic ability just squandered. If I had half of that, I'd have been an olympian. Unfortunately, I...

Thats too wild. I'll have to compare her fingers to those of her sisters. I googled some other studies and found that the greater the ratio, generally the higher correlation to higher levels of excellence. Of course, there is also the individuals desire, which is a huge factor, but it is an...

Thats an odd question. Her ring fingers are a little longer than her index fingers. SM

Thought I'd throw this out there since this is a chit chat board and you guys are my peers. My kid has talent in a couple areas. She's 5 years old, and I know that its way too early to be looking at this stuff yet, but I've noticed she's got quite a talent at endurance running compared to...

Up! It had plenty of opportunity to go way down, but it didn't. Seems like the bias is upward...just a feel...no technical analysis. I think any good news will drive it up. My thinking is that its just as dangerous to be in the market at the top as it is to be out of the market at the...

Ok, I know this will get some heckles, but I've noticed that many of my friends have confessed to me that they're starting to tune out the bad economic news. So I'm just wondering a few things: Can bad news about the economy feed on itself? I mean...could over-reporting of the bad...

What if you're like me and you believe that the incomprehensibly gigantic explosion was created by a God as part of the process? I mean, if you're going to make bread, you use flour, right? Eve was created from a rib. Wine was made from water. Lots of fishes and loaves were made from a few...

Nah. When you select a number, select "X", and then do the things it says. Like if it say add 100, you get: x + 100 Then when it says double it, you get 2X + 200 etc. Heck you can make them up: Here's one: Pick a number between one and 100: (X) Add 50: (X + 50)...

Dude, are you putting us on?

Yes, they forgot the last line: "If your age is greater than 5, or your favorite number is between zero and eleven, you must recalculate using the alternative minimum tax".

Thats your answer right there. Or call your job and tell them you can't come in until finals. Or say your Grandmother died and you have to go to the funeral. Whatever. I did like you're saying. I worked full time and went to school. Eventually Some of my friends played the system with...

Get over yourself! I was an EE before I switched my major to a CE and we had to take that course in 4 hours instead of the expanded version consisting of two 3-hour courses. Same material, believe it or not. It wasn't that hard. The trick was that I bought a radio shack circuit board kit...

Heh...probably not the first to point that out, but its funny. Ummm...Engineering. I'm an engineer, so I'm biased, but they would let anyone into the program. But to stay in you had to maintain a 2.0 GPA which was also the school's requirement. Yet, at least half didn't make it. I knew a...

I hate a "me too" post, but...me too. My background is science and the more I learn, and continue to learn, the more I believe. There are just too many improbable and amazing things. A statistician will tell you that when something is too improbable, there is causation somewhere. SM

I'd think an advanced degree in Finance or Accounting would get you further along if you weren't going to go to a top-tier school. They would compliment the economics. If you were going to a top-tier school then yes...MBA. Economics is somewhat general. And the MBA is somewhat general too...
