    Ultimate LCD setup

    Thanks guys and especially FT71 for your detailed advice and for point out that I actually have LCD's :D and not plasma screens as I thought. I looked on Cnet and it seems that maybe a couple of those Dell 2405FPW may work as they have good brightness and contrast and response time. Only...

    House Building Margins

    I have done this twice (a 450K house ex land and a 900K house ex land). I must have been nuts to do it the second time but it was a new area so thought it was going to be different, it wasn't. If you are going to do it a service like Ubuild will help and there are also purchasing clubs you can...

    It might also say something about the type of clients he attracts.

    Ultimate LCD setup

    Thanks guys, i get the picture :) I am able to focus on everything fine (old but not quite decrepit just yet LOL) but can just tell that after a while eyes are getting tired and don't know if having an LCD would be easier on the eyes than a plasma (CRT is out as it takes up too much space)...

    Ultimate LCD setup

    I am running three planar PL191M's. I am not a techie but i gather these are plasma screens? Resolution is 1280X1024 at 60Mhz and I don't know if it is because I am getting older or putting in too much screen time but it is getting harder for me to focus on what is on the screen. What I would...

    Great idea except for the fact that there is no actual money ion the SS fund, it is being used by the government to run its day to day business. If we actually had to come up with the money we would have to issue so much debt that we probably wouldn't come out ahead with the rise in interest...

    The world knows what is possible but in order for things like that to happen you need a meeting of the minds otherwise the prisoners dilemma rules. The reason a so called meeting of the minds (where everyone acts on a broader self interest) is rare is that it is usually based on mass fear or...

    We need the Naders of this world to stick to their guns and keep their faith in humanity and to never give up on their principles. Every now and then they are in the right place at the right time and shape history. Good luck to you Afterburner, by the way one way you could get your word out...

    Good work, but if you want to get people interested you have to get some special interests on board to fund the promotion and lobbying of your plan. Of course by the time they get done with it you will not even recognize it. What you have failed to understand is that the way things work in...

    S&P 500 looking very toppy

    Tol's growth rate certainly appears to have peaked. The easy developments have been done and now they are faced with rising costs, cooling demand in the hottest markets where they have a substantial portion of their business, and the rising rates will not help either. As aa company they should...

    S&P 500 looking very toppy

    Thanks SteelHead. I stopped out of my entire position coming back from under $50. Switched in to a few August 47.5 puts in case this decline has some more legs and Tol gets bad press this weekend.

    Housing Rolling Along 2

    In aggregate you are correct but it doesn't mean that it is going to happen in the next 3-5 years. In Boston in 89 prices fell over 50% and it looks like we are in for another haircut here too in the next few years. Will prices be higher here in Boston in 10 years time, 20, or 30? Who knows but...

    Housing Rolling Along 2

    I am carrying 1000 tol puts and was also going to wait to get short but Tol insider selling as well as a couple of other data points got me in earlier than I had anticiapted. If it pops on the CC will start selling some calls too and just went long the stock as a day trade.
