I just paid off an unsecured loan (25k). I thought, I'll do it again. The bank where I had the loan (Capital One) isn't lending to anyone. Other banks offer 5 or 10K unsecured pfftttt whaddya going to do with that? Searching the net, not much out there in unsecured loans. I applied to TD bank...

I'm reading Hanks Paulsons new book. I didn't know he worked for the Nixon admistration before GS, small wonder he was reluctant to become TS. It's comparitively easy to implement the best solution to a problem when you are top dog in a company, quite another when you have >500 members of...

What can't we import might give an idea to our strong points.

I went to a flea market. This guy had an accordian for sale among his other stuff. I checked it out and he was very knowledgable about accordians. He told me that accordians that were previously made in Italy, were now being made in China. Hmnnn, so the Chinese are making accordians and...

I don't think the issue here is: bad guy - good guy. The banks could renegotiate any loan at different terms, still make money and let people keep their house. The issue is, some financial inst. has to eat the loss when they closed out the loan to rewrite a new one. The orginator sold the...

A blind man is at the opticians with his guide dog. Both are facing the eye test chart on the wall. The optician takes the guide dog away , and replaces it with another guide dog, and asks, "Is that better or worse?"

I take comfort in the fact that I will outlive "some" people and outlive assorted problems. 1000 years might be too long to wait {:>) for these things to go away. Suppose you were branded ( ruined rep or a felon, etc) in the first 100 years of your life 900 years living the life with the...

With the web and watch dogs and more informed and information and more outrage and and instant news and depth and and who's doing what to whom and who/what benefits whomever. Nothing has changed. Shid still gets passed for ever increasing sums with arrogance and jack squat for consequences.

One thing I keep into consideration is the effect of option expiry week on your long. For practical purposes that week is a washout to detemine your trend on a long term hold. Option traders rule that week. Suppose 10 days before expiry you note the strike, follow which way the stock is...

To add to your point. Trump said, the wealthier you are, the fewer and shorter vacations you take. I'd imagine it would be pretty hard laying on the beach trying to relax knowing that you could have made "x thousands" in that time.

why when i scream in a Library, everyone just looks at me, but if i scream on a plane,...... everyone joins in!!?

When you step over a homeless person sleeping on the street, this is our constitution at work. Why they don't teach that in school I'll never know. This would make a good field trip.

A hippie walks down the road, a genie appears in front of him. "I'll grant you two wishes," says the genie. The hippie replies, "I want a never ending joint." The genie says, "As you wish," and gives him the joint. The hippie takes a long drag and says, "Awesome! I want another one.

More like a stone in my shoe.:D I don't get headaches though people have said I give them headaches.:D But life wasn't always this way. Giving op headaches was a learned behaviour.

Imo, if you want to read about the homeless, this is the only book you'd need for insight on the life. Take a pass on what the sociologists write. Cadillac man was a regular guy, regular family, walked out on his wife and kids for reasons we all can relate to. People helped him long the way...

Re "Fake demand" Easy credit. Takes two to tango.

My doctor has just told me that I have only one week to live. I asked, "What can I do to prolong it?" He said, "Call off the wedding."
