    I was just thinking about how Real Estate Broker Scum are getting a pass

    How are they any different than people who got into the daytrading thing in the late 90's? It was the same gold rush mentality, and I know a ton of people who failed at daytrading that went on to real estate, either as RE Brokers or Mortgage Brokers. Some made it, most did not. Those that made...

    Protecting Assets From a Divorce

    I think that a lot of people don't even realize how great having kids is until they have them. I never wanted any until I had them. It totally changed my life and who I am/was. Your entire world changes, and in a good way.

    Protecting Assets From a Divorce

    That's the really shitty thing, she won't let him see the kid. They had a very bad breakup and so she really hates him. Anytime she finds out he is making just slightly more money she is back in court with him, and she does not let him see the little boy. She does let his mom and dad see him...

    How is that more fair? I had about just under $300,000 a year in expenses to run the business, but if I did not make a return in excess of T-bills I did not get paid at all. Most funds charge you first on a percentage of assets under mgnt, and then a percentage of profits as well. In my case I...

    Obama takes largest lead yet in Gallup poll

    I really don't even know why anyone is interested in this election anymore. McCain simpy can not win, it's not going to happen no matter how many stupid threads stocktrader starts saying he will. We have lost, it's time to move on and figure out what to do next.

    Of course not, and neither does that of any other manager. We all workd with a high water mark, and so we are only paid on new profits created. That was never much of an issue for me as I only had one down year, which was in the low single digits (2002). I did not get paid that year and I had to...

    I made the money for them. Had I not had the money they would not have made any. Your thinking is a little flawed. I've also said a number of times that bringing the top rate from 36 to 39% on income above 250K is not a big deal. What is a big deal is that over the last few days Biden and Obama...

    What are the 3 most important issues facing American today?

    The poor economy seems to be doing a fairly good job of handling illegal immigration. People simply come here for the same reason every else has always come here, there are jobs. And America has been built on slavery and cheap labor, be they African Americans, Italians, Irish or Hispanic.

    Protecting Assets From a Divorce

    I suppose with two billion you could hire a pretty good lawyer, but then so could she to come after it. My cousin makes about $130,000 a year and has to pay $3700 a month to his ex girlfriend, who lives in a place where most people make less than $1500 a month. It's definatly not based on need...

    Protecting Assets From a Divorce

    I don't know if this is true or not, and I couldnt find the data when I spent half a second looking but it does make sense to me. Your mom is obviously your first female role model, and the idea of a woman turning into her mommy later in life is true. What I read is that if a girls mom has been...

They can take up to 1/3 of your income, which by the way if you get married again is the combined income of you and your new wifey. If you start making more money and the ex finds out about...

    Former skeptic, 200k savings, taking active trading seriously

    I think that one of the most important things for anyone to keep in mind is that the market not nearly as effecient as academics and their theories suggest it is, but also it's a hell of a lot more random and effecient than most traders want to make themselves believe it is. The trick is to do...
