    Specifically, this is one place you can get nice custom perfumes: http://aftelier.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=4 If you're in NYC, they say that they have a boutique in Henry Bendel's at 5th Ave and 56th St. If it's a big account, $900 will get you a really nice treat (little...

    MPEL IPO - Straight Macau Gaming Play

    You're right, but I think it's highly unlikely it's going to go below $19, so there's simply no point selling if you got in between that and $21. It's probably easier just to wait and see at this point.

    This bubble is rediculous!

    Noddy... You were very close (was at 11:30), so you deserve a cookie! I SERIOUSLY did not expect a down day today. But I'm mostly positioned now to hold thru the holidays, so I'm happy. If it does go down this week, I think we'll have a much better January, because our 'correction' will...

    MPEL IPO - Straight Macau Gaming Play

    I have noooo idea... While I'm sure they exist, I have never yet seen a stock that started falling towards it's IPO price after only a $2.99 runup. Either there's something bad we don't know about this stock, or no one's talking about til they can get more money to buy themselves (sort...

    tax selling?

    The last week of Dec is supposed to be a great week to buy based on funds doing their last minute disposal of last year's dogs. Of course, this depends on the stock. This week would typically be the last good week to sell this year, due to the Christmas effect. The thing I've never...

    MPEL IPO - Straight Macau Gaming Play

    I took a nice beating on the little bit I bought of this today too. Good thing I was up on so much else or I'd feel sad. It's really surprising behavior for such potentially profitable stock. The Chinese LOVE gambling... they are now starting to travel because the wealth is getting out of...

    This bubble is rediculous!

    I don't think it's irrational yet... we have a ways to go before it's 'irrational'. Irrational is when the P/E's are above 100 and the stock can still move $5-$10 a day up. On the other hand, after the last 'irrational exuberance', people are a lot more cautious this time around. I've...

    Heh, those aren't the typical super rich women, they are 'socialites', which are usually young and media obsessed. But how do you figure that practical and semi-frugal does not equal the finest things in life? It just means you don't have to prove you have money by squandering it. Not that...

    Gift Ideas?

    Just wanted to mention that if you want to impress her... do NOT pick a crappy perfume house on the net, and NEVER pick her perfume for her. The novelty is the fact that the perfume house will send her a lot of blending samples, and it's a 'process'... which is the fun part:P. She'll think...

    Today game over, Asia market crashed

    China's really the only one I watch. Yesterday's dump was scary, but I held on and so far tonite it's all back... it should close up. A few months back, I bought a little china mutual fund from Oberweis. I thought it was interesting because it's run by the owner, James Oberweis, himself...

    Ultimate Contrarian Indicator

    Yah. I saw that... scary. But I'm still all in atm. I was going to dump some yesterday morning, but when it started falling, I decided not to, and went shopping for 2 days. Came home to some really nice surprises (and a few not so nice). I still think this bull has a bit more to run. How...

    Nxg

    It's gold and copper, and one of those rare companies mining in North America with real growth for 5 years (where you don't have potential slavery or political upheavals). And yes, it's a great stock, and I recently bought a bunch of it under $3. Hrm. I think I'm up 25% after today's mini run...

    Gift Ideas?

    I think it depends on the type of woman, which really doesn't have to do with how much money she has. Also, how much did you want to spend? If she's always had money, then she's probably practical and semi-frugal as a habit, so a gift certificate to her favorite store (ask) would be nice...

    What To Watch For Today!

    US-China negotiations

    Wow. What a strange commentary. I was in China this past summer, and I was in China almost 20 years ago. China today makes the US look like rural Russia in terms of aging backwards cities. I hardly think they need to 'prove' anything to the world, let alone that they're backwards, when...

    What To Watch For Today!

    My accountant does our taxes, I'm too dumb to do it myself, so take this with a grain of salt, but he says yes, losses offset gains for the year. I almost wish I had more losses (ok, not really). It's not the % taxed, it's the fact that we are going to get shoved into the last tax bracket...

    Wallstreet Is Total Manipulation!!!

    You must have difficulty reading. I said 1 other nation besides the US. That's the UK. Considering that there were only 4 total who contributed anything (this 4 INCLUDES Iraq itself), and Australia's 2000 troops (that's pretty pitiful, I already pointed out that more than 3000 US troops have...
