    Bush to freeze rates for 5 years - I should've been a lemming!

    Can someone help my tiny brain understand how Ben's plan to continually dump dollars into the market will keep the mortgage products from drying up and triggering a domino effect across the broad economy? Understandably, people do not want to throw the baby out with the bath water, but what...

    The Money saving tips thread....

    Showering with a friend (in my case: wife) tends to leave me standing in the cold and for some reason she can't understand why I never want to take a shower with her.

    How Safe Are We As Realtors???

    Oooo, and I was so close! Seriously, I almost commented a couple days ago on the Suze thread about how much I used to love watching her show when I first started learning about personal finance and how over time I began to sour after picking up on some of her male bashing quips. Thankfully, I...

    Forever Anonymous?

    Ha! Then I guess I am defenseless because she'll roll her eyes, tell you some stories, and you'll join her in ringing my neck. We just returned from a week long trip of visiting her family and umpteen girlfriends so, as you can imagine, there were plenty of lively discussions. :d: For...

    How Safe Are We As Realtors???

    Simply put: defending yourself is a basic HUMAN right. And every human being must be vigilant to defend themselves against ALL crimes. And I mean "all crimes" because as human beings we face the same threats. Absolutely(!) do I agree the type and/or frequency of threats may be different...

    How Safe Are We As Realtors???

    Eliminate the sexism and you have a great topic. How about this? "How Safe Are We As Realtors? I recently posted a blog on a different site regarding safety for agents after a weird little encounter that happened to me and another agent in my office. Although my blog had to do with a...

    How Safe Are We As Realtors???

    "However, female's are targeted more frequently and in a different manner altogether." So for clarity, I am lost because if you are saying women are targeted more frequently based on the assumption this is a female dominated field, then I can certainly respect those statistics. Also...

    How Safe Are We As Realtors???

    Sorry, but I am not seeing this as a gender thing, but rather accountability for personal safety. Are you saying a male realtor can't get jumped on an after dark showing? Isn't the real issue here about making the right decisions? Doesn't your gut alert you of possible risks? How about...

    Trading - Lessons from Stock Wizards

    Is it way too simplistic to think a person could be successful starting off slowly, say with a small % of my overall portfolio as "play" money and a goal of trading trends to the tune of $200/day and not holding any positions overnight? The plan wouldn't be to find a bottom to buy or a top to...

    Trading - Lessons from Stock Wizards

    graphrix et al., A few times over the past year and a half or so I've considered what it might be like if I concentrated fulltime on making a living as trader. Comparitively speaking, how disadvantaged is a person who doesn't have a statistical background with one who does? Or maybe a...

    Presidential Candidate Thread: Is Ron Paul good for the country?

    EvaLSaraphim, you are right. See, what I failed to realize is how the current system seems to be working out well for everybody. Your tactic of flippant remarks has opened my eyes and I would be very interested in learning more about candidates you support. I'll promise not to sit back and...

    Housewives of Orange County

    Personally, I got a chuckle out of how the daughters felt as if they were entitled to their father's money when he died. <<rolling eyes>>

    Presidential Candidate Thread: Is Ron Paul good for the country?

    What impresses me about Ron Paul as a candidate is his understanding that individual liberty trumps his personal beliefs. Paul believes that the tougher the issue, the more localized the decisions should be made. So, regardless of Paul's views on education, abortion, gay marriage, gun control...

    HOA Fee, who controls it?

    One of my concerns of being a potential future homeowner in this area is the HOA fees because it seems to be very susceptible to corruption. Are there audit controls in place to ensure skims and kickbacks aren't happening? Is there a bid process to ensure a fair price for jobs? Etcetera...
