dude, wasnt that samuel clemens?

dude, ill be 49 in august. if the guy is gonna move to Kali, better learn to speak the language.

dude, i lived at 1012 the strand.

i lived on the starnd at the m.b. pier in late 1970's and early 1980's (cant remember the exact years:D ). paid $900 for a 3br/2bth - times have changed.

i did a job in redwood city a few years ago - that traffic is brutal, and i grew-up in l.a.! ive also done work in san francisco, and ive got to say that is an awesome city.... restaurants, charm, culture - there arent many (any?) good restaurants in north san diego county.

yeah, i remember when you could drive along the highway from del mar northward through solana beach and it was pitch dark because there were like no street lights and everything was quiet. im no big fan of point loma either, but it might be someone's cup of tea. you're right about pacific...

laing homes or lang homes has a project in southern carlsbad. brand new 2,600 sf homes for like $700,000... its a nice project, i think its called the "Tides" or Tidewaters" or something. its via encinas at poinsettia road. i almost bought one for $647,000, but they raised the price $60,000...

forget santa ana and escondido. ocenaside maybe, if you dont have children; o'side is the most afforable beach city in north county, but its also the least desirable (remember that relatively speaking). if you cant afford to pay up from oceanside to carlsbad in terms of renting, you'd best stay...

thats a peretty good list, but rancho del rey is actually east chula vista - i'd substitute encinitas, pacific beach and point loma for rancho del rey or eastlake. generally: stay west of interstate-5, south of oceanside and from point loma northward (maybe coronado if you want to do the island...

this has been happpening for the past 2+ years, particularly in the apartment market. much of the money is now looking out of state as s.d. real estate has gotten pricey. when i moved down from l.a. in 1985, s.d. real estate lagged in terms of prices, not so anymore.

there is an attempt to place an iniative on the november ballot to modify Prop 13.

are stops part of your trading plan? riding out losers only re-inforces bad habits.... one day you'll hold and the market wont bail out a bad trade.... also consider psychological energy of monitoring a bad trade. the first loss is the cheapest. regards and good luck QQQBall

inexperience and lack of capital increase failure rate in any speculation/start-up.

save those tears, they could be worth sumtin.

in the beginning, trading one symbol is great. if most people cant trade one stock successfully, how can they expect to trade twenty. the QQQ has plenty of volume, you can go direct via isld, no problem shorting(no uptick), etc. you can apply all the price/volume, pattern recognition methods...

look, the spreads have narrowed since decimiliaztion... the QQQ spreads are really tight... not even a nickel... so if you are worried about it, just hit the offer, you'll do better than nickel spreads. i see nothing in this thread that is blaming everything on the MMs, but you probably...

i think it is wrong to have his clerk step in front of you period! its not about liking pennies or nickels, hell, why not make the spread a $1.00 even? they are just skimming larger amounts all day long. do you really think the market is broken? other than the fact that some think they...

the analogy is laughable... dont you realize that an auction might take 15 to 30 minutes to establish a price for one item, but in the SM 1,000's of transactions take place every second. and in an auction the bidders do not disclose in advance... in the SM, a seller can opt to take out a...

god, what a load of hogwash... bring back nickels and "perhaps" we get a bull market? i dont give a crap about lowering unemployment on wall street. yeah, president bush should drop world peace and push nickel spreads. its just funnelling everything back through MMs and specialists. same as...
