i'm going short some spy just buying a bunch of at the money leaps puts for dec 2011- right now the 95 puts are going for about 17$. i just want the extra leverage and think it rather unlikely we won't retest lows at some point in next two years. now i want to buy 10 contracts, but was...

i'm 20% short 80% cash

i guess if they need 100% risk capital that could be tough, but if it is like any other bank loan and they can "create" 8$ to loan out for every 1$ in deposits- and lend them out for student loans this racket stands-- just make it a special rate you offer to people with real majors- and don't...

how are student loans so risky- you can't escape them in bankruptcy- makes me think there is low risk there why do you say no 8:1 leverage for banks, is there a different capital ratio i'm not aware of for student loans? because the capital requirement right now is less than 12.5% for banks...

i just tried to consolidate loans and the best rate i could find is libor + 5.8% that is a f*n racket if there ever was one you can't escape student loans in bankruptcy you can use at least 8*1 leverage as a bank no borrow risk because it is linked to libor i mean that is making...

it means the people who are dependents of the government are going to get a rude awakening- so that would be the welfare population the democrats have built up over the last few decades- when the only skill you have is saying "i want" you are in trouble.

nurses "think" they know a lot, but i'd make sure it's a real doctor before i just trusted some blank white smock- at least if it was me. maybe these superstar nurses are good enough for your care, you can have 'em

i just threw up a little in my mouth reading this- i don't care what motivates you i want my life in the best and most competent hands it can be- it just so happens success can motivate the conservative competent people who just want a safe track to get ahead in the game of life- that's who i...

yeah it still surprises me more people don't already recognize that as a double top, which means to me if we see 665 we are going to see 400

i can't wait til the men of the mind strike from this bullshit

no chance we revisit the real value of 1500 before 2018 and i wouldn't be surprised if we don't see it again period. only way we'll see it is with wiemarch dollars. this next bear market is going to be another deflation trade to ruin the gold bugs who all jumped in after gold ran up 400%...

try 125k / year and already with 250k in loans -- lets do the math from there 125k = 80k max after taxes 250k = 12k+ in interest payment +12k in principle payment wow a whole 56k a year left after that, and all for going to school until you are 30+ sounds like the short end of the...

don't sell out, just use your own money, what kind of size are you using to produce your 3.5k / day~~ is it scalable~~ if it is super scalable, like to 50k+ / day that is only way you'd really need to go out and raise any money, otherwise just lever up yourself every once in a while and put your...

look at a longer chart and you'll see it just broke through the down trend line- i wouldn't suggest shorting ZN in the short term, we should see a strong rally up in it if we complete the head & shoulders going on in the indexes right now, wait until S&P goes below 820 before initiating a short...

i'm still trying to figure out how to protect myself when the currency eventually fails. precious metals are dropping now and likely will go and test the 2000 price levels in this next leg down if they can break through last years lows, maybe at that point they'll be a good long term buy, but...

i disagree those double cheeseburgers (mcdoubles) are quite delectable

ok went through page by page all her loans- she had given me some bad info but this is what it looks like: ~160k in government fixed rate loans with an average of 6.7% ~140k in school sponsored loans at a variable rate that was as low as 6% in 2006-7 and q1 09 was 8.25%, but does not say...

oh and we (I) currently have the cash to pay the loans off i was just hoping to get it fixed and benefit as interest rates sky-rocket due to our fiscal retardation, so margin req's shouldn't be an issue for anything

med school- there is a reason why doctors deserve to make shit-tons of money and it involves them going to school until they are 30 and coming out with a shit-ton of debt to pay off-- i'm loving that this health care bill doesn't look like it has the support anymore, she should be able to make...

actually didn't realize i wouldn't be hedged for the first 10 of that deal, scratch that plan, argh
