    Good girls vs bad girls

    Hey - We all manage risk here. Most 'bad girls' are really just good girls gone bad. The real 'bad' girls - well, sociopaths don't change their colors. I stand behind my post.

    Good girls vs bad girls

    Reality is this: Move in with girl A, settle down, have puppies, and watch her become progressively more dissatisfied with her life because she always played it safe and sane. See her become depressed, hate her life, hate you for it, and start pulling away and acting out. 15 years later...

    Tim Russert Dead @ 58

    That was unexpected. He was getting a bit big for his britches, however. Probably one of the only journalists capable of causing a major pucker factor for the presidential candidates. Will leave a void to be filled. So many major journalists gone recently.

    China, the next Vietnam ?

    Not to hijack the thread, but anyone have any idea how to invest in vietnam besides vtovf.pk? MAPIX allowed to but its a multistrategy fund. Back to topic - SSEC under 3000 is looking yummy. Waiting for a nice sell off in CAF to get back in at a sweet discount.

    Medvedev blames U.S. for world financial crisis

    Huh. You noticed the about face in the last two weeks also. Unbelievable, isn't it. Not sure I agree with your why and wherefore's, but you cannot deny what is coming out of the media.

    My Experience With Interactive Brokers

    Bad fills I have gotten are usually from my own stupidity. Best stupid move done when I was relatively new to retail equities - few hundred share market order around noon in an OTC BB stock. Filled $0.60 away from where I thought the market was. Immediately realized myself for the chump I...

    The last leg down in Gold started today.. 6/10

    Can't help but feel a sea-change occured in the last 2 weeks with the fed and treasury now finally willing to allow the hurt to occur. I still remain suprised how bid Au is in the 850-870 range. Why aren't we lower?

    Spain is in a deep, deep recession

    Too bad spain is tied to the euro. A nice trip to las palmas would make my day.

    how to protect your account from huge catastrophic events.

    I think that this conversation has some merit. It seems as if the 2% rule x 3 for a 6% controlled stake is a reasonable risk portfolio. (Thanks, Van) I think the point about holding the position overnight is reasonable, but don't overstate what the real overnight risk is. It isn't 20% for...

    Zillow - Real Estate Market

    Yeah, I would probably not purchase a home built after 2003 - built with illegal labor who didn't care about their product and had little or no training about what they were doing. The slums of tomorrow in the peripheral suburbs far away from jobs with gas prices going the way they were...

    Zillow - Real Estate Market

    Has someone who has been around the real estate market for a long time answer this for me? I have not been able to find the answer myself on the 'net. It seems to me that I recall when I was young that a lot of the larger houses went begging due to high interest rate mortgages, high cost of...

    Zillow - Real Estate Market

    IMHO, Zillow prices seem inflated to the real economy. I see homes dealing at 20-30% below Zillow price in my neck of the woods.
