    Is talent required to be a top chess player?

    Agreed... You can't teach speed... or a standing 48" vertical (as in Barry's case) but you can become Dustin Pedroia or Cole Hammels given the right set of circumstances...

    Money Vs. Knowledge

    Hey Fuck-Head, Your definitions are incorrect. Intelligence has to do with 'many related abilities, such as the capacities to reason, to plan, to solve problems, to think abstractly, to comprehend ideas, to use language, and to learn.' Knowledge is 'expertise, and skills acquired by a...

    Money Vs. Knowledge

    Ok, I'll bite... Not crazy about the "both about equal" choice... I kinda like the "fuck 'em" selection but I had to go with knowledge... assuming were not talking about the end of the world in one week (due to today's lovely action in the ES)... i.e. No time horizon. I can say from...

    Pabst On Volatility-- A Must Read!

    While putting together some 'Charley's Chowder' this evening, I happened to catch Peter Schiff (sp?) on Fast Money. Never in the history of that channel have I seen a guest that nailed it quite as well as he did... I wish I could find a transcript somewhere but basically the gist was that the...

    Why is GM failing so bad?

    Yes, except for the fact that the total hourly compensation for a GM (hourly) employee (including health care and pension requirement) is $73/hr. Toyota's is $48/hr. I don't have the German numbers but either way... the math is simple....

    Why is GM failing so bad?

    I had a Cadillac CTS-v... and without word of a lie... it was a hunk of junk. Went to the Acural TL briefly and then to a Honda Odyssey. Lovin' Homer the Odyssey most. :p

    Half Price House Sale

    Thing is... the original prices were ridiculous. Take one look at the dump and you have the answer behind the sub-prime mess. I'd offer in the 60's... seriously.

    The next shoe to drop: Ford and GM

    Wrong... you can't be competitive in a market when you are paying people $40/hr to stand around with their thumbs up their ass pushing a broom. I've worked inside at one of the big 3... do you realize that the interiors of the cars are designed NOT based upon public demand for components and...

    How to pay yourself for hard work

    I could never drive a car that Simon Cowell drives... even if it was a Veyron. Besides, that Audi is absolutely filthy. I've been in one (and an F430) and they are comparable... not to mention, 1/3 the cost. And I live in Canada... mine (all wheel drive too) would have snow tires...

    Jim Rogers tells CNBC to F* OFF

    Thank God someone agrees with me. I'd love to take a brick upside his head! :D

    Genesis Laser tips and tricks?

    Hmmm, good advice... just wondering if it works on Sterling... what a piece of garbage. Thanks RED. You da man. B

    NBC major cuts coming. Which CNBC employees should go? Who should stay?

    .... once again, I couldn't agree more. I've started watching Bloomberg and here in Canada the BNN is also good - it's a little more resource heavy but still is quite good. B

    NBC major cuts coming. Which CNBC employees should go? Who should stay?

    I couldn't agree more... and his little puppet Neil. B

    White Monday?

    I couldn't agree more... and to take it a step further, I think the large banks are threatened by the uncertainty of insolvency. A relatively extreme request to increase margin across the board and a deadline to meet those requests is going to have a similar impact in all sectors; we all know...

    White Monday?

    This is most "probable" given the current environment. Weakest hands are usually the last to the door.... B
