7 rich athletes who lost their fortunes.

Being stupid has nothing to do with race, you don't even seem to realize how stupid it is to point that sort of thing out as fact.
 
Quote from Debaser82:

Imagine how many "whites" would have gone bankrupt should the FED had pursuit a non bail out policy.

End of discussion.:)

well just a reality check...the facts are, in reality, the fed did indeed pursue a bailout policy..you can image the whites bankrupt in your dreams if you want...point is...it didn't happen.

what did you think, the fed was going to kick down, spark a blunt, and crack open a 40?
 
Quote from pairsarbtooo:

It has a lot to do with race and ethnic backgroud.

Capitalization rates amongst asian americans are around 78%, whites 52%, blacks less than 20%.

Your success and your ability to succeed financially and professionally are still, even if it's sad but true, STRONGLY correlated with your ethnic background.

I don't want to explain what capitalization rate is, if you find that statistic interesting, research it further.

what does cap rates have to do with ethnic background. if u have real estate etc. there are cap rate calculations.

"Capitalization rates amongst asian americans are around 78%, whites 52%, blacks less than 20%."
what do these numbers mean?
please provide a link if possible.


does it mean for examples if i go into a business partnership with my money with 10 random asians my cap rate would be 78%. it sounds pretty good even if i split 50/50 with the asians.:D
 
On a recent episode of Pawn Stars they mentioned having an Olympic gold medal someone had hocked. In some ways that's sadder than an NFL player flaming out financially. Olympians are frequently just ordinary middle class types. That gold medal might be the most valuable thing they ever owned.
 
Friends and family do these guys in also. Quite a few let relatives run their money only to find out the relative knew even less than they did or had a greater taste for the high life.
Sprewel's mama helped clean him out also. Oh, there are stories to tell. I was relayed some of the stories by a friend who would do some things at mam's house that Latrell bought for her in a suburb of Milwaukee. He got legal notices from the court that he would be in line for payment. I believe Latrell cut mam off from the money train, or was cut off because there was no more money.
 
It's sad to see this, but i bet a few of us on ET have been there. How many of us blew up an account????? Then went out got a job and five years later put togather a game plan and some risk mangement and came back???????:eek: :)
 
Quote from konviction:

100's?..try thousands. I'm not saying all African Americans (being politically correct) are like that, but a heck of a lot are. But when you see an old Chevy Caprice drive by, and the rims on the car cost MORE than the car itself, take a look at who's driving next time. I'M NOT saying its wrong I'm pointing out a Cultural/ Racial difference here. Sorry that reality offends you.



Well I live in AL, so ya, a lot of white people are like that. CRAP.......I'M WHITE!... I'm racist against myself?!..ohhhhh nooo.



lol, ya THREE out of 7, so doesn't that kinda prove my point?

So if I point out someone's flaws and attach color to it, that makes me prejudice? . Ok, so lets just take off the fact I mentioned color, and I accused all races evenly, now what does that make me?..wait dont say it. I don't really care.



really?. Ok, lets look at facts:

*. "
Racial Groups Show Different Levels of Financial Knowledge
The survey revealed a significant gap in financial literacy among racial groups. Students who identify themselves as “White or Caucasian” answered 53 percent of the survey questions correctly, on average, compared to 41.3 percent of students who identify themselves as “Black or African American.”

* "Third Study Shows African American Students Consume More, Save Less " -- http://www.marketwire.com/press-rel...an-Students-Consume-More-Save-Less-922785.htm

again, your inability to accept things the way they are. I guess I'm the moron, eh?

Any study that does not adjust for serious factors has no value.

For example, studies showing a gender gap in earnings, i.e., women earn less than men. However, when adjusted for things like "similar industry, similar job" and the fact that women tend to take time off for childbirth/rearing. Such studies make the gender gap almost completely disappear.

To start with, studies showing things for minorities needs to adjust for things like educational level, income level, etc. So you could only reasonably compare whites and blacks at a similar income level, educational level, region. Without this, the study is useless.

Frankly, the presentation of these things in your post do not speak well about your intellect.
