<p>Hey all, so here is a question I am looking for advice on since I am finding myself in "Paralysis by Analysis". I have about 3Gs in an old IRA that I have in cash and want to invest in something. I applied for options for my rollover IRA and thought I had it, but just learned today that I...

<p>I have a similar thing with a coworker who lives in Irvine. She had a condo and sold it for a nice gain a few months back. They then spent I think around 900K for a place in North Park. She knew all about my troubles with my house but the phrase "Irvine will never go down" was used. She...

So about a month ago while I was surfing sites I found a chart on lenders that showed the percent of their loans that were originated in what states, as well as what percent were of the various classes (sub-altA-and prime). I have been looking again for it and cannot find the darn thing...

I think if people start suing and creating an uproar on these guys walking away RICH, then some ugly things may be exposed. Consumer sentiment and uproar might help push the thing down, complementary to the bad numbers. I have been sitting out on the put options side (except from buying SKF at...

<p>So two people I have talked to in the last week have had similar problems in unloading their houses. I guy at work said a neighbor was all set to sell his house when on the day of closing, the lender told the buyer they needed to up their downpayment from 5% to 30%. Of course, the buyer...

<p>It also all depends who you believe. If you go by retail MLS median price when buying through a realtor, I believe we have a long time to wait before these huge drops are reported and univerally accepted. When you see the price drops on this site and recent posts on other sites (check out...

So am I reading this right that if we take option arms and subprime we are looking at 42% of loans being written? Unless I am missing another class of loan, thats not so good...

<p>It can be a bit more complicated than that. I moved here from Florida last year and my house (primary) took 1 year to sell and I had to do a short sale whereby I ended up paying Chase about 15K of 50K I owed them. I talked to alot of people including debt collectors and laywers and had the...

<p>Interesting read from California Housing Forecast....</p> <a href="http://www.californiahousingforecast.com/in-the-news/roubini-stock-market-a-suckers-rally.html">Roubini: Stock market a "sucker's rally"</a> Posted on Wednesday, October 3, 2007 at 07:53AM by <a title="Registered...

I am going to pick up some gold once I check it out some more... For now I am quite happy with a good chunk of my $$ in Nintendo (NTDOY) but am always lookin...

<p>So with all the bad news of late and strong recovery due to the interest rate cuts, lets play a similar game with the market as the other "call the bottom"</p> <p>Its a confusing market because as the analysts on CNBC were saying "Investors want bad enough data to warrant a rate cut, but...

<p>Awgee,</p> <p>What kind of money can you make part-timing it doing taxes and whats the real amount of training required? I have done my own fairly complex taxes before (two properties and a self employed wife) so could probably handle most people's straightforward ones.</p>

My grandfather was a tool and die maker in Philadelphia... What I have run into at some companies I have worked with is that all the new kids they try to hire for machining can't read fractions...

<p>So I was on business travel last week and, since I am only human, found myself watching the HBO softcore series about the Bunny Ranch (which for those of you who don't know is a legal Brothel near Reno). So they profiled 3 new girls coming into the bunny ranch and one of them was from, you...

<p>I was just debating taking another look at the Vice fund....</p> <p> </p>

I work as a mechanical engineer at an aerospace materials company. I work between 40 and 45 hours per week but I am on the low end of alot of people there. I have done the long hours thing and as soon as your quality of life goes down because of it, its not worth the extra 1% of a raise they...

Due to the the recent run-ups in California real estate prices, many people are opting to bring their own...

<p>So to follow up on my previous car comment, my friends and I were wondering about this. What % of luxury cars in the OC are actually owned versus leased? I know on craigslist you can get a lease transfer of a nice Mercedes or Beamer for only $750/month (yea, only). Or, what % of luxury...
