    If SPY fell to $45, what would happen to SSO?

    a 25% loss on spx would result in a 50% loss on sso, so 0.5 x 0.5 = .25 = 75% loss on sso, not 44%

    GM now says it may not have the cash to finish '08 - do not buy a GM car!

    that was 2007 sales. in 2008, all automaker sales fell off the proverbial cliff, down between 35-43% depending on the automaker. total sales in the US fell about 37%. gm and chrysler clearly were not prepared for such a bloodbath.

    The 4 stages of single women in NYC

    of course those girls are after Hef just for his money, but he's also 30+ years older than they are and he looks like a freakin half-decomposed prune. however, to me he doesn't seem desperate, he's living every man's dream. those bunnies don't look desperate, either; they could have their...

    The 4 stages of single women in NYC

    it doesn't look desperate for her if he's handsome, young looking and successful, or if she's very attractive herself. and it defintely doesn't look desperate for him; after all how many guys can pull it off? like hefner said, "i may grow older but my taste in women doesn't". :D

    dude i dunno what you're talking about, but i've dated many asian women and they can be as strong and bossy as anyone. a couple of weeks ago i broke up with a 24 year old (after 2 month of dating) because she was extremely demanding. she's been here only 5 years and is not westernized. i...

    The 4 stages of single women in NYC

    to attract stage 1 chicks, you must work out and stay fit and dress young. wear abercrombie, guess, hollister, dkny, etc. (but naturally there's a limit; if you're 45, don't wear a&f "destroyed" jeans and a hoodie because that'd be comical.) your ideal fashion style depends on the age of...

    The 4 stages of single women in NYC

    1. don't give out your home phone!!!!! if you take a girl home and another girl calls your home phone (and your answering machine picks up) you are FUBAR. if you have to, get multiple cell phones. if she's so much into you that she texts you 40 times a day, you have a stalker on your hands...

    The 4 stages of single women in NYC

    depends how old you are, but if you're 35+ then stage 1 is not the easiest. if you're over 40, stage 1 is impossible unless you got your A game. i generally focus on stage 1 & 2, for various reasons but admittedly, the "challenge" factor is one of them. i'm in my 30s, and it's very easy to...

    The 4 stages of single women in NYC

    blackjack here to give his sage advice on women. although very PI, port is correct. i've dated women from 20-34 and the ones over 30 have issues. they mistrust guys and have major emotional baggage from failed relationships. they are damaged goods. (plus, i don't find most of them...

    So much for Global Warming

    the only conclusive facts right now are that human activity has caused co2 levels to rise and that global mean temperature is higher than 70 years ago. from that it is erroneous to conclude that human activity is a significant cause of global warming. hell, scientists don't know enough about...

    Traders who still live with their mother.

    umm, the only time it's ok to live with your parents is if they're old and need you to take care of them, or you're a poor college student, or you're a single female (and even that last reason is borderline). if you're living at home because you can't afford to move out, you need to find a...

    Next in the bailout queue? The People's Republic of California

    the politicians here don't have the ball sacks to do what they should: cut spending. they want to enact these "temporary" sales tax increases which then become permanent. when i first lived here the rate was 6.xx%. how does it go up by 25% over the years??? the total tax burden of...

    Nassim Taleb on Charlie Rose: "Massive Deflation Nightmare, Roubini Too Bullish"

    you can tell who here is a loser and who isn't. the only people against the free market are those who haven't made it big for themselves. i know successful entrepreneurs and small biz owners and NONE of them ever complain about capitalism and free markets. they owe their sucess to the free...
