    Flakey ways to make $

    I've had a lot, and I mean a lot, of different jobs in my lifetime. None of them were that fun or paid that much. The current one could not suck much more if they tried. I'm thinking that if I had it to do over again I would find a lot of "flaky" ways to earn a living. I'm talking about seasonal...

    A gift. Thank me after you get rich.

    Primary residences don't have to be liquid, people are just going to stay in them. If you can borrow on equity then they are liquid in that sense. Ability to sell a house is way down from a year ago for sure and not going to get better until the next business cycle. House saleability is...

    In California there was no residency test for welfare, when one was implemented it turned into a big political fight with the bureaucracy.

    real estate LA - banging my head against the wall

    Actually the "poor immigrants" bought houses in the last few years. They have 10 -20 people per house, probably 5-10 incomes, to make the vig and they are happy. That is who drove the prices up in my area. They are pretty good neighbors for the most part too. It helps to speak Spanish here in...

    Bush Resurrects the Domino Theory to Rationalize Iraq War

    Here is the left's plan to deal with Islamo Fascism: let them pick off countries one by one, like Spain, and soon enough France, then when nobody is left to fight let them drive your culture back to the 10th century. What is so hard about that?

    What If....

    Are there options on currencies? Some of the gains could come from selling insurance. Some of the gains could come from people that made money on another time frame and just did not capture the whole move, one man's trailing stop might be another man's bread and butter.

    Bruce Lee - Champion?

    I heard Chuck Norris, on a radio interview, after Bruce Lee was gone, say that he could have beat Lee. I don't think he ever said that when Lee was around :) That instant kick he does is enough to make me scared of the guy even today.

    A gift. Thank me after you get rich.

    Mine has quadrupled in 20 years which points to 7% inflation. Houses themselves don't change much over the years, the function, quality, etc. is very stable. I am going to use those as the basis for economic comparisons from now on. What really happens when house prices go up is not that a...

    space tourism

    The transition from suborbital to orbital should be doable in a few years. The current design can go to 73 miles, low orbits are what, 100 miles or 200? I'm not real sure but it's in that neighborhood. Engines for that won't be a huge obstacle. If people are going to only be in orbit for a day...

    A gift. Thank me after you get rich.

    look, I am not going to educate you about business cycles. This economist/guru/permabear is saying that an event, a recession, is going to happen immediately on the heels of a housing bubble and that just does not happen historically. If it did it would be a prematurely ended cycle, more things...
