<p>Last night our neighbor, who is currently in foreclosure on his townhouse, had someone banging on the front door and demanding money with cursing and threats. Drugs maybe? Borrowed money from a friend or bookie or something? Its amazing how quick things go sour. Other neighbor bought for...

Thanks for the recommendations. Ill look into all of them and let you know how it goes...

What did you pay for the TV and what model? I am looking for a 37" LCD as well...

I realize, my thinking is that there will be a run up in the stock around this holiday season from more heavy use of plastic. Next year after the spending tapers off may be a good time to evaluate. For a more direct play I am looking at JP Morgan/Chase and Citi. The problem is I have been...

<p>I lived in Salt Lake City for 5 years after going to Virginia Tech and learning to climb. I used to boulder all over utah and neighboring states, mostly in Little Cottonwood and was bouldering up to V8. I did both sport and trad but was definately better on sport, preferring easier Trad up...

<p>Who are you looking at? </p> <p>Short term I think that the financials may be oversold and may recover leading up into the rate cut. I put 5% stops on my SRS and SKF for now. I was looking at MAS, who supplies builders and home dept, was looking at Carmax until I saw Warrent Buffet just...

<p>I am verrry pissed at myself for not seeing right through the crap on Fannie and Freddie. My friend and I were discussing them a few weeks back so I did a few hours of research. Lots of places I looked were saying how little subprime exposure they had and I didn't act. I figured much...

<p>So not entirely on topic here, but since alot of you live near Irvine and I have heard some talk of sports, ah well.</p> <p>I did alot of endurance sports and high level rock climbing for a bunch of years and now I am pretty much falling apart. I had 2 years of constant knee pain and...

I would like to buy it but since we are only 2 working professionals making over six figures, could pay about $340,000 and still have a comfortable life. Seriously though, California is way the hell overpriced and to have any hope of selling you might want to drop it by 20% and see what happens.

<p>I have a few books as well so I can better understand resistance levels, moving averages, candlesticks, and etc. Just haven't had the time to get into them. Its a balance because I work a full time job and really can't be following the charts all the time. I need to be more of a weekly or...

<p>I am still up so all is not lost but I agree that forethought should be used and I do need to work on it. I traded Boeing a few months back when the 787 was being talked about big time. I knew they were never going to launch on time but there was alot of press. I bought at 99 and said I...

<p>Just wanted to see what you guys use as selling strategies for both shorts and longs. I bought SRS and SKF (inverse financial and housing) and at the lowest point in the market last week, was up 25% and 17% pretty quick. I was thinking I was the sh!t and called it perfectly and a few days...

<p>Its very interesting to see the difference between a year ago. I myself rent a similar place in Costa Mesa near south coast metro. I pay $2100 a month and am currently month to month after a year lease so am looking to move someplace cheaper. I have lots of garage stuff and the wife is...

<p>Im 75% in overseas stocks with a good deal of the rest short. I actually had a very good this week. MY SRS and SKF were up very nicely and my ATK (Alliant Techsystems), where I used to work and have about 3Gs of stock, was up alot as well. NTDOY.PK is holding up nicely and an option on HXL...

I just got my friend, for his 30th birthday, the Onion's "Our Dumb Century" and pre-ordered their new book "Our Dumb World" If anyone is looking for a book that you can read in your free time for a few years due to the huge amount of hilarious material, I strongly suggest Our Dumb Century. I...

<p>Good answer...</p> <p>My few options trades have been quite positive on small money so I have yet to get stung and am still learning about them. What is your favorite site for viewing options and if possible historical charts? That is one thing that is lacking on the major sites that I...

<p>Yes I think this is going to be a definate shorting oppurtunity once I see how things pan out. I can expect a short term runup in anticipation of a rate cut but I think there is no way in hell they are going to swing back to a profit. The real question is does it become immediately evident...

So I ended up picking up some of the SRS, so now have even lots of SRS and SKF. Both were up 6% today which is fine by me. I read some interesting articles about the lag in commercial real estate and how alot of same issues with loans will be hitting many of the commercial properties and any...

I think that is dead wrong. MSN.com had a list of top 10 cities ready for a rebound. They have dropped 10% so the time to buy is now!

<p>I appreciate the advice on mutual funds, but actually already have about 1/2 of my total money in Domestic and Overseas stock funds with Janus Overseas (30+% YTD) and Janus Contrarian (25%YTD) in a Roth and my work IRA in Vanguard. I had all of my other IRA from an old job in Fidelity funds...
