    Indians in America

    All jokes aside, Indians and Pakistanis are so hellbent on getting a bargain that they will bargain away and lose an upfront great deal just because there is no wiggle room in it. They will argue over a couple dollars on a 50 dollar item to the point that the seller just gets fed up and says no...

    21 Ways Rich People Think Differently

    No, you would not. Aside from maybe work ethic, the physical main street business and the financial businesses have been going in separate directions for decades. The way the two approach risk & investment is quite different, for one.

    That article looks like it was written by a high school student. It's complete nonsense.

    Anyone Betting on Facebook?

    Think outside the box. It's all about mobile apps now and Facebook's mobile app is shit. Additionally, Facebook cannot monetize any mobile device user, which are like half of their userbase,.. This is all beside the point that their userbase in 1st world is slowly declining and it's China...

    Taxpayers Fund $454,000 Pay for Collector Chasing Student Loans

    The reason it is not dischargeable is because doctors and lawyers used to graduate and instantly file Bankruptcy before they had any income and start with a clean slate.

    Gold and silver trading

    That's such a simpleminded attitude. They are both precious metals with a long history but do differ in a few important categories. Rarity being one, industrial & commercial use being the other. Also the recycling & reuse have some differences.

    Note to self: filming my own room could result in hate crime charges.

    This is a witch hunt. As an alumni of Rutgers, this is plain funny. It's very easy to be gay at Rutgers, just go to Cook campus (or Douglas if you are lesbian). The school has a pretty strong and active gay & lesbian community, so what exactly would be so horrifying for this kid where he...

    USA is sinking into 3rd world status

    Let's be fair, USA as 3rd world status is a serious exaggeration. But this nation is far from the 1st world iconic status it portrayed decades ago. Let's say 1.5th world nation or even 2nd world nation, being that USSR has not been around for 2 decades.

    How about faded USD even longer term? Just playing devil's advocate.

    A beginner wants to make it

    Ok but what do you think trading the market is? A part time gig anytime you wish? It's an 8-5 commitment plus additional hours of research & testing.

    The Bankruptcy of NFLX (Netflix)

    We use Netflix streaming on the Wii and I have to say that they do have quite an interesting selection of independent, foreign and non-mainstream movies. Sure, many of the B movies are terrible but there is a lot of quality. Been watching some Korean films and they are pretty good when it...

    Comcast worst company ever. Again.

    The cable service sector is a razor thing profit margin business. I've had this confirmed with high ranked employees in the company. I think cable internet is in the same boat. That's why they keep calling us every month trying to push their phone service, because that's an add on with a good...

    Comcast worst company ever. Again.

    I'm in NYC area. Last year, maybe 2010 is when Verizon started promoting FIOS. I'm sure the technology has been under development for a while but in a major metro area like NYC, it is a few years old. [B] I don't even care for cable, honestly, it's the family that wants it. I just need...

    Comcast worst company ever. Again.

    Exactly, different mediums, one of which, FIOS, is VERY new and in promotional stages. Is FIOS everywhere or even in most of the country? I don't think so. How old is FIOS, a few years at the most? When it comes to cable lines, which are pretty much everywhere in the nation, it's not like...

    Comcast worst company ever. Again.

    All major cable companies have a monopoly, since they own the lines. You may have someone like RCN trying to break in, but they are essentially leasing the lines from the company with the monopoly, like Time Warner. In general, all of these companies are relatively the same. Time Warner may...
