words to live by...great advice. thank you. you are so wise and clever. I mean from phonetically changing my handle to so screwed to adding bold to my post quotes to come up with a funny...excellent! how is that only your brother is a doctor and you can't afford bottega for mommy? the world...

i don't know about your mom, but my in-laws are poor. I am not a doctor/lawyer high earner so i couldn't be choosy about my inlaws. Just had to settle for love only. [I am such a loser.] I have no aspirations for the indie school. I just hope to get into his quote area one day. That would be...

morononup, (see how cute i am too?), relax. It wasn't me mean saying your post was jacked up. It was rkp and qwerty. So sensitive. I don't know if you can handle the Indie school. They are pretty tough over there. He might have mis-assessed your l33t skillz.

15 minutes.....errr...15 inch bottega hobo bag...can save you 15% or more on disaster insurance. perfect!

Interesting piece yesterday on 60 minutes. Basically, in Cleveland, defaults and strategic defaults have become so bad that banks aren't even bothering to auction off the properties anymore. They just foreclose and let the houses rot. The city is then forced to send 8k to 10k tearing down the...

Was hilarious when Gartman and Peter had a fight on cnbc. Shiff was foaming at the mouth lunatic compared to the articulate and cool Garman.

my designation of husband and wife are arbitrary. The point wasn't a sexist one. Having said that, if husband's family is wealthy enough to provide that kind of financial support, husband will most likely marry the prettiest girl vs. the one with MD!  :-*

I don't know Mike from jack but so no comment...the point was that the Asian wife's family doesn't provide these things because the husband is a lackie per so many posters contention here...they provide it to equalize the life time value of what each brings to the marriage financially speaking...

Not true. There is a rule of thumb in certain asian societies that the girl should bring more wealth the more capable the husband is to "equalize" the marriage. So for example, if you marry a doctor, you are supposed to bring several "keys." These keys include 1) house 2) office 3) cash box...

hey rkp, is that you rolling around in a certain german auto with the license plate of the same handle?  :D

if you sell naked calls, what kind of margin requirements are there? Does it only require you to post margin when the calls are OTM?

Hey USCT, Any ideas on what the heck is up with Vix? Market is down 3 straight days and Vix is actually down!

So that has nothing to do with the need for MR because of prop 13. they could have easily solved this by lowering tax rates in the future after the build out was paid for or they could make the price of the property reflect the need to construct that infrastructure but that would give the...

star, i don't think that computes because when the community was created, it would have been fairly valued relative to transaction value. You can't solve your scenario by adding MR 2 years after the project was completed when their property values were double.

Goog is a great company. Not sure that they have as defensible their position is in terms of brand. Not sure of any tech long term. Sony sure looked dominant when they had walkman and yhoo when they dominated search. In terms of absolute valuation metrics, I think apple is a better "value" in...

How does that compute? MR is on new communities right? If so, the tax base would be created at the time for purchase and MR isnt necessary. Why is MR necessary here? it isn't like they are adding MR after the fact to homes that have their tax basis virtual locked by Prop 13.

Heck, just go to 1977 and buy Irvine company before Bren and you can be richest person in CA.

don't forget the supposedly magic TV which everyone speculates is coming in 2012. Valuation wise, it is pretty ridiculous how cheap apple is. In 3 years, they will have enough cash on hand to buy the entire company out. lol. here is another source that is widely followed. Apple: The Most...

One of the posters actually mentioned that TDST (a technical indicator) is actually at 373 and it has bounced off that 12 of 14 times. So might not get down to 360s which is the 200 DMA.
