    franchise dilemma.

    I was not aware of this! How can they charge me rent and on top of that a % of my profits? I was under the impression that rent is it. Sounds unreasonable. BTW, if one has his own business venture in a mall let's say a Pizzeria, how will the mall calculate my profits? They do not know how much a...

    franchise dilemma.

    Austin,I see your point. The franchise fees are steep and making pretzels is not exactly rocket science. However, if one has never done it and never have had a business of this sort, the helping hand would be welcomed. The question is: Is the helping hand worth the $$$ they want up front and...

    All I am saying that imho there is plenty of petro dollars and those funds are waiting to be invested. Holding US currency lately is not exactly the best investment so I would think that buying up stocks in S&P500 firms would make sense.

    and this is the 64K question, will they? Your chart analysis does not support it and it looks like we are going to 1260's again. On the other side, that 1330 line has been tested before and ... was held. Also the frantic buying in the last 20 minutes on Friday indicates that the bulls are...

    If they do than you are a better Sherlock than I am. Naturally, the market going up MON - WED and including previous Friday's gain was clearly whispering "get short", but I doubt one could have seen that 60 point drop. However, just because I do not see it does not mean others are blind too...

    The problem is one does not when "they " will stop accumulating or stop unloading. That 1390 top could have easy been 1420 before the drop, and the same goes for this sell off. Will it continue to 1290 or are "they" happy with 60 points?

    Cuba and Brazil.

    I was referring to the following part of your post: "Since the economic collapse of Argentina, that country became a symbol for people who want to follow the American ideas and intellect." While I agree with the economic analysis, I do not think Argentinians became more americanized as far...

    Cuba and Brazil.

    I care about Cuba. I love their culture, music, cigars and dare I say ..... women (platonicly nowadays since I am a happily married man). As for prostitution, I admit, it exists there but you show me a country where it does not. If you want to further your knowledge about Cuba watch a movie...

    Cuba and Brazil.

    I would not consider Argentinians to be Americanized. Quiet the contrary. I find them smart witty and well educated. Their cinema for example is top notch. Also they do not have many problems Brazilian society has to deal with. I just watched Pixote and Bus 174 and Brazil does have some serious...

    Cuba and Brazil.

    You are right reading too much would lower one's intellect, I propose we watch TV instead of reading, so much more educational. (insert sarcasm where appropriate).

    franchise dilemma.

    The location would be in a mall. If you are familiar with NYC it would be the Staten Island Mall. the fees are 7% and there is 1% fee.So total is 8%. He swears by the brand (maybe have already been brainwashed by the company) and says people love the product. I have seen the kiosk of this...

    franchise dilemma.

    Guys I have a dilemma. I just had a dinner with my brother and he asked me a question I was not prepared for. He wants me to be a partner in his franchise. I am the oldest sibling and was always wise/lucky/blessed with $$$$. He has about 200K of his own capital but the place is asking around...

    Cuba and Brazil.

    Cuba's future is tourism not ethanol. why would they want to produce that if on the same land they could grow tobacco. Last time I checked Cohibas were a bit more expensive than ethanol. Tourism, tourism and tourism and being 90 miles away from the US would surely help in terms of fresh meat...

    Inflation out of control

    Love the car but here in the US there are 5 problems with this car. 1. It is a Diesel - most mechanics do not have experience fixing it. 2. It is a Diesel - cannot be purchased in Cali, NY and several other states. 3. It is a Diesel - last time I checked a gallon of diesel in NY was around $5...
