Is the October '87 crash a true statistical anomaly or just a great example of the fat tails in the normal distribution of percent changes for stocks? Why haven't there been any 20+% upside anomalies? It seems like the fear aspect of the market happens suddenly while the "irrational...

I have been told to stay away from medicine that contains Acetaminophen while drinking (tylenol, etc). That does a real number on your liver.

After doing some long-term market research, I've noticed that portfolios and individual issues can go down much further than they can shoot up. A good example of this is the crash of 87 -- which sent the index down over 20% in a short time. There has never been an example of an index going up...

Two 40's while sitting on the curb outside wondering how genetics ever came up with something like you.

POLL: If you were to take all the alcoholic beverages you've ever consumed and combined all of them, how much alcohol would that equate to?

I'm going on a limb here but I'll try this anyway. First of all, I don't make any commission selling my company's golf equipment. We recently started to carry Taylormade equipment and MAXFLI golf balls. If anyone is interested in purchasing new golf equipment, let me know and I'll probably be...

With the latest CPI numbers, it appears that deflation is still a going concern for the United States. First, do you see deflation actually occurring within the United States anytime soon? Secondly, what investment strategies are good in a deflationary market? How does this affect loans...

This is totally off the subject, but did you know that Rembrandt was actually his first name and that he is one of the only famous artists that is known by his first name?

Just keep in mind that over 50% of the rest of the world is dreaming right now, "Wow, what would I do with $5,000?"

Has anyone done any volunteer work for this organization? I am interested in learning how to build with my hands (blue collar education). Have any of you worked with HFH and learned a lot while doing volunteer work for them? I figure the worst case scenario is that I help build some houses...

For me, that amount of money would represent freedom. I love to travel and visit places, and money gives me the means to do it. The more money I have, the more freedom I have to pursue my hobbies and interests. There are a lot of wealthy people who are unhappy for whatever reason...

Is that limit on a per year basis or could one just give "a lot" of 10k gifts (if that is the limit). Doesn't it seem a bit asinine that the money is being taxed AGAIN? Will banks report any deposits made over a certain level to the IRS?

Let's say someone wins a $20 million dollar lotto jackpot and takes a lump sum cash payout that gives him $8.5 million after all taxes are paid. If that person then decides to give some of his friends and family a couple of million, would this transfer be taxed again (would the people receiving...

25'th Amendment

No no no .... Here guys:

Well only a minority of people think it is Bush, so that is good.

Hey man, I don't mean to sound like a dick, but I do live on my own and I'm definately not stupid enough to let a few dollars a day in expenses break me. My car gets around 38 miles to the gallon. I don't drive an SUV around. It isn't my fault that a lot of people have purchased vehicles that...

Damn that is some harsh shit ...
