    Mexico Economy to Shrink 8.5%; Most In 77 Years; Most Since 1932!!! Goldman Says

    Life in Mexico is sweat if you are smart enough to have your own business. I have met people who came to US worked hard 3, 4 even 5 years and with the money saved went back and opened up a business. I personally know one who with around $30 grand opened a 50 computer internet cafe and is...

    Random thoughts on the VAT

    Things in Mexico already cost more than in the US. From electronics to cars to furniture and everything in between. They also have VAT, so I see that option as a bleak alternative.

    Sun Belt Fading: 'Ghostdivisions,' Joblessness, Tax Base Withering, Losing Population

    It would be beneficial to have people live closer to what used to be the town square. Will it happen? I doubt it, unless the standard of living declines so much that it wold make it economically suicidal to live 40 miles away from your job. There are people who would kill themselves before...

    The high cost of poverty: Why the poor pay more

    You are a smart fellow. I seldom give complements to people on ET, but you deserve it. I have never lived in a real hood, and was able to go to decent schools, but have on occasion worked with urban youth and many are in need of better education and compassion not jails, discipline and...

    Letter from a Dodge Dealer

    Well, I am not a fan of German cars. Audi is nice but once it starts to fall apart, parts are rather pricey. Had 2000 A6 with 4.2 L engine and it drove excellent when it did. The repairs were a major hassle.

    Letter from a Dodge Dealer

    One is 50K and the other is ugly. Btw. Why is ford copying Viper's painting schemes is beyond me. The double line looks good on a viper .... on a Mustang it looks like it weights a ton. I am no car expert but my mechanic of past 20 years swear by the Hondas and toyotas and swears at...

    Letter from a Dodge Dealer

    Long time ago this guy decided to purchase Isuzu and Chrysler franchises. I am sure he made a killing selling substandard product all these years and did not lose any sleep at night. Like most dealers, he allowed high pressure tactics and all kind of unethical ways of pushing overpriced junk to...

    Economics Reporter @ NYT Nearly Gets Foreclosed - He "Should Have Seen It Coming"'

    Between humongous loan balances and high rates, we had hung ourselves with the rope they gave us. In the previous December alone, we charged $2,845 on the Chase card for Christmas gifts, food, gasoline, clothing and other expenses. The charges included almost $350 for groceries, $700 in clothes...

    House hunting? It's not a buyer's market everywhere

    Obama is not going to be on top forever. No matter how much he tries 8 years id the magic number. Now since the US is ready to kick up its nuclear dependency and hence increase its nuclear waste, where do you think it will locate it? Next to NYC, Chicago or in a lovely not very densely...

    House hunting? It's not a buyer's market everywhere

    Those drunk on Nevada, are you guys aware of the Yuka Mountain depository? This is where the feds are going to store all nuclear waste from the US. ALL being the operative word here. I do not care how much you like the scenery, glowing in the dark is not my idea of fun!

    Guaranteed Up Day 5/4/09

    5% is a significant number. S&P should zip upward nicely in the morning with some deflating in the late afternoon. Should be interesting.

    When to call it quits

    Having doubts is only natural in this line of business. I am being cautious not because I am not ready to jump. I am, but I want to be 100% sure this is the way to go. I was simply curious as to how long it took others before the final commitment was made.

    Idiotic Refinement

    T28, you got too much time on your hands. To state that you have already killed it many times over is an understatement. Give it a rest!

    What would you do?

    Surdo I do not know if you can trade (and despite this being ET) not that it really matters, but I think you are right when it comes to enjoying what Brazil has to offer. However, I will disagree with you when it comes to the best women hailing from Brazil. Mamitas from Venezuela are just...
