Clearly a rhetorical question from your screen name.

can someone paraphrase?

uh huh. Long C - but with calls so I can at least control my risk.

Oh there's been faster days but never in succession. Serious stuff.

You are my hero. And I mean that, sincerely. Well done. But I hope you sold out thereafter.

You're kidding, right?

Well, feels like we're going to re-do the 70's, so why not have a 70's car? Huggy bear sez its cool.

I don't object that the information is being made available over the internet. I object that it is being made available for FREE to non-us nationals. While this might not seem consequential, remember that the US system is very credentials-based. Therefore, this action undermines the system &...

Lib, you know I respect you, but the problem lies in the assymetry of the solution. While opening up courses at MIT, etc... to anyone on the internet is great, and certainly promotes a true meritocracy, those students in the USA are subsidizing the rest of the world who can simply leapfrog over...

In fairness, with the experience of comp sci grads and outsourcing, do you think that acquiring a skill like cooking that you could actually use to open a family-run resturant business is such a terrible idea? I'm sure that the kids are just clueless like Dustin Hoffman in the Graduate...

It seems as if the elite schools are using this as a way to fend off government taxation or oversight for their wildly successful investment portfolios/endowments. I think it also is a recognition of the impossibility of repayment of student loans for many students who choose not to work on...

Hear ya on that - Just bought the Odyssey instead of the Sequoia for the little lady and the rugrats. Gave up my manhood, true, but saved $10k in the process, and the wife does like the improved gas mileage and the voice recognition gegaws. I'll live with the old SUV. Wanted to buy US...

Seems like those positions were too highly correlated or too highly levered. Would work that out too.

Dude, are you david lerea in disguise? Your reality and my reality are seriously divergent.

Had a roommate in college who was consistently "in the red" - negative account balance spent on dates with no deal closure. He spent his father's money freely. And granted, $100 don't get you much these days, but it ain't how much you spend - its what's behind it. But please, do feel...

Yes, but you feel so good about it that you really don't care...:D (although you have to be honest with yourself here - you know who you are...) "Its OK baby. I understand... I'll call you." Dinner: $60 Drinks : $40 Bragging rights for the rest of eternity:Priceless.
