    How did Manute Bol stop from getting run over?

    his playing weight was 225 lbs or thereabouts, which is thinner on a BMI-scale than a female runway model. it would be the same as a 6'0 male being 100 lbs.

    Student Loans are a Terrible Idea

    as i've said before, they need to underwrite student loans based on your major and your college GPA. (for freshmen, they obviously don't have a college GPA so the underwriting would be based solely on their major.) if you have a 2.5 GPA in a shit major like women's studies, your interest...

    Student Loans are a Terrible Idea

    not only that, but international students can't even get an unsubsidized private loan. many of them don't even have social security numbers and can't get credit cards.

    This crisis means the end of bullsh*t college and university degrees?

    economic downturns are actually good for the college industry. when people can't find work, they go back to school to hide from economic reality until sunny days return. i know a few unemployed who went back to school in 2009 and 2010. one of them already had a masters and will be getting a...

    spoken like someone who is neither rich nor knows rich people. some of the greediest penny-pinchers i know are rich. i can imagine them screaming at uncle sam when they find out about the medi-care tax on capital gains.

    property management is an awful business. i used to own rentals and got to know various companies; i also knew a guy who ran a small management company. they go through countless employees because everyone hates working there. the turnover is worse than crap jobs like starbucks. in the years...

    Is This Woman Too Hot To Be a Banker?

    1/3 of the population would top her!! she's a 5.5 or 6 tops. that second photo is heavily photoshopped. you can see in the less-edited photos she's developing some wrinkles. she's 7 years past her prime.

    during the day "Run to the bank to wire funds into your account" you ever do?

    i usually send funds by wire because the broker credits my account immediately. ACH transfers require 3-4 days; there's an opportunity cost to tying up that money for nearly a week. the only time i do ACH transfers is when i deposit less than $25k. the wire fee is not worth it in that case...

    did you make up this out of thin air? in the US, 2/3 of oil consumption goes to transportation. it is by far the largest sector of oil consumption. worldwide as well, most oil goes to transportation.

    Are the worlds economies too reliant on oil?

    wake up and think a little. at $500/bbl, no electricty would come from oil. it will all come from alternative sources, and it will be cheaper to fill up an electric car than buy $10 gas. i have a very clear understanding of where electricty comes from now and where it would come from should...

    Is This Woman Too Hot To Be a Banker?

    i'd give her a 7, which is still better than 90% of chicks her age. if she lost 12 lbs she'd be an 8. but i seriously doubt she was fired for being too hot. most likely they had a legitimate reason and she's just trying to get publicity like that chick who was not allowed on the southwest...

    Are the worlds economies too reliant on oil?

    the peak oil theories are silly and derived by people with a 6th grade education on economics. oil will never reach $500/bbl (in 2010 dollars). as its price climbs, it becomes less attractive against the many other energy sources out there: solar, wind, geothermal, hydro, NG, nuclear...

    The 99ers...long term unemployed

    unemployment benefits just are just competition for employers who are hiring low-wage labor. why get a job at home depot or starbucks when you can earn that much sitting at home looking fruitlessly for a job that pays what you earned in 2007? (keep dreaming) as long as they're collecting...

    Placing the Blame as Students Are Buried in Debt

    the college education industry employs over a million people. student grants and loans (which are paid for by taxes of course) is just welfare for people in this field.

    Placing the Blame as Students Are Buried in Debt

    this is why they need to underwrite student loans with the same rigor as other types of loans (not withstanding mortgages issued during 2004-2007). if you major in something useless like women's studies or anthropology, your interest rate should be higher and the loan should be limited to a %...

    Finally! Tesla IPO

    there are only two things that will make Telsa viable: ridiculously high gasoline prices or government subsidies to make the cars attractive to more buyers. at $50k to $100k, they're out of reach for 98% of buyers. while other manufacturers like nissan, GM, etc, are offering pure electric...
