Yet another real estate bull market comes to an end. The last straw is when they tighten the lending requirements and demand down payments. All the first time buyers are swept out of the picture, the move up buyers can't sell their current residence and it is over at the low end and the middle...

Gore was the environmental vice president for 8 years. During that time environmental lawyers could sue in any court, stop any road from being built in any public land, prevent clearing of brush, etc. and get paid by the court. The result was the burning of the national forests and the...

Some south american countries, the one I had direct knowledge of [was it Peru, I cannot recall, it was a while back] hit breakeven in 8 years for a buddy of mine that started out on the privatized plan, he had a choice, privatized or typical non-invested pass through payment bullshit, went...

I think the govt is bad argument here is really more like govt is inefficient, therefore should not be used except where necessary. Privatization and deregulation were the Republican watchwords of the day during the Reagan admin. He managed to get S & L lending requirements deregulated and...

That private social security idea sure got killed off quickly. Never mind that it works other places, it's the ideology that is important to Democrats, not results. The big risk in the current social security plan is hyper inflation. That is likely to happen too, eventually, and people on social...

Something really basic about a woman. You have to treat her like she mattered to you in a big, positive, way all the time or she will start to do things so that she matters to you in a big, negative, way all the time. Ellen Kriedman said that, she has tapes "light her fire" and books. She...

Zionist..... LOL The world's leadership nowadays are more likely satanists that love to blame the Jews.

If it looks that bad I would go out to to a much longer bar interval. Sometimes you have to slow down to go faster.

I'm just going to go away and be happy and make a bunch of money now. My mom is an American Indian with an ingrained mistrust of conventional wisdom and was able to point out to me many, many, bogus things over time that were surprisingly obvious once understood. To me, conventional wisdom...

Conventional wisdom is just garbage in most areas of life. In health it's "listen to your Doctor", in Martial Arts it's all sorts of things, in the Christian Religion it is all sorts of things, in getting along with dogs it is about being dominant, in trading it's about stops, protecting...

I have breakfast with a couple of bounty hunters most mornings, not making this up. After hearing some of their stories I told them if they are ever collecting from me, not a problem, I'll cut them a check.

If the swap file is part of the problem you can speed things up by making it a fixed size and putting it on another drive.

George Soros predicted the US recession for 2007.

In my thinking, interest rates have a dominant cycle on a much longer time frame, 50 years maybe, and also 11 years or so. I have not really done a lot of work in that area, almost nobody has, just my take. I feel that people with variables are not going to get hurt in the near term because...

3D modeling of results usually can help you stay away from the over optimized results section. If a small change in the parameters makes a big change in the results, your 3D map will show a very steep peaked hill but if small changes of any of the parameters does not affect the results much you...

The engineers can tweak the process and run things slower to deal with the heat. The question is how will a 10,000 bit wide bus affect general computing? 64 bit is not catching on really, currently, so apparently a wider bus is not the solution for general computing applications, it may be the...

those guys were cruisin my hood at the absolute lowest price point. I was getting to know them because the real estate cycle has just always fascinated me. They were typically driving old cars they repaired themselves, wearing jeans, and had no use for conventional wisdom, they were the wolves...

When you walk by a realty office and you see one depressed, suicidal looking person sitting there looking like a security guard and you realize that real estate has not been in the news for years. It will likely be a few years yet, the bottom happens about every 11 years. Cash will be king...

I need one computer for trading and one computer for everything else. I think I will run XP on the business machine and get an Apple for photoshop, web surfing, music, etc. I have such bad experiences with multi media and XP that I just can't go forward with Windows for that. Currently I...

Every real estate cycle is the same. Interest rates fall, houses become affordable, the smart money buys when the prices are at the lows before the interest rates even start falling, then buying picks up, people see that the prices are rising and the sales go off first at the asking price, then...
