    Real Estate Trends

    Central FL Seeing an uptick in multifamily apartment building construction and new commercial building construction - all over the last 2-3 months. Echo what has been said elsewhere in this thread - aggressively priced homes moving but much of the market remains stagnant & seems overpriced...

    Doctors call Sen. Kennedy's brain surgery successful

    Don't be so cavalier. Its about pieces of YOU dissapearing. Little by little. Until there is not enough left of YOU left to maintain life. Regardless of what you think of his politics, at least afford the man some compassion in his impending doom.

    Rich Pawning Diamonds, Artwork; Cutting 'Jet' Time - Net Worth Shrinking

    Yes, it is sad. Because even at 'the top' there is always someone more important or wealthier than you. It never stops, and the children who grow up in that environment are ill-prepared to deal with the loss of it once it ceases.

    Nationalize the Oil Companies, Refiners, Shippers, etc

    Lib – It is my opinion that all countries should adopt a capitalistic model that better distributes the wealth by share ownership....whose shares are liquid and trade on an electronic stock exchange.... A man/woman builds a company....spends their life doing so...then they deserve...

    Scary article on the oil/inflation crisis.

    Well, hey! That's a name that we haven't seen around here in a while! You make a good point about the only way to bog down Russia, China, and India. Conflict in the Stan's anyone? Go read: The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy And Its Geostrategic Imperatives...

    air purifiers/ dust collectors

    I purchased the Plasmacluster series for my daughter who had bad reactive airway disease when she was born. I liked it so much that I purchased a second for my bedroom. It is a combination of a HEPA filter and an ionic device. It requires cleaning after 6 months, including washing the...

    Turning point

    Is it just me, or does it feel like a major turning point here? Oil with its recent blow off top (presumably) - it feels like another one of those "all red" days that we had about a year ago where EVERYTHING went down (hedge fund selling/liquidiation, call it what you may) Anyone else...

    Stupid Bond Bubble

    But if the fed decides to buy the long end as part of an "anti deflation" strategy, I wouldn't hold my breath for yields to reflect reality. Instead, suspect that there will be a return of 'risk premia' into the market. I've been long bonds overall (in the retirement portfolio) and have...

    Dell Vostro Laptop

    EU wants SUPER-REGULATOR to stop "speculation"

    Swell. Now that we've made our money, we're going to enact measures to prevent anyone else from ever making any. Might as well reinstate the monarchy.

    Wall Street or bust

    Well, with long term career prospects for being outsourced existing in almost any field, and the killings you can make short term in investment banking or trading, do you blame these kids? Same thing occured in late teens - early 20's germany after the war depression. There was no point in...

    China will be the top economy in 20 years

    God help us westerners if that is true since our elite class is forgoing modern science and technology for the easier profits of financial engineering, political cronyism, and legal wrangling. Confidence, however, we have an overabundance of. Wonder if you can market it in a can?

    Pesticides-nail to US economy coffin

    Well, yes, that's true, but at what cost? Bubonic Plague wiped out 1/3 of European population and certainly extended the length of the dark ages. And yes, eventually, bees will adapt. A world-wide die off is pretty unlikely. Survival of the fittest, that sort of thing. The more...
