<p>I was getting my DeLorean fixed.</p>

<p>awgee --</p> <p><em>"<strong>BUT</strong>, during that time in which you owned the stock, the stock was <strong>NOT</strong> insured by the SIPC, because the SIPC only insures the broker against default, but does not insure you against loss for stock that you own. Are we ok so far? Is...

<p>I thought about it for a minute. And, truth be told, I cannot pretend to know that the Aviles family was not a victim of predatory lending. Just because you would not fall prey doesn't mean a family of non-English speaking immigrants wouldn't.</p>

I don't mind them and it doesn't seem to be a serious safety issue for most drivers and children that I know.

...it takes you three posts just to get a single thought across.

...especially since...

reason, I have a hard time believing annualized returns of 15-20% are conservative for you...

<p>You must be fairly new at the law game.</p>

<p>awgee -- you had me at "Gosh..."</p> <p>For most people, a home is a pretty good investment. If you're talking strictly return on investment, then it pales in comparison to other asset classes, like stocks. But I doubt you will find any lifelong renters out there who are glad they never...

It's unclear from the promotion whether you have to buy all of these homes at once (which is incredibly stupid) or whether you simply have to be a repeat customer. Since they say as a current "or past" family member, I'm assuming it's the latter. I suppose it's an incentive if, for example...

What was childish about ladera1's comment? I thought it was funny.

L.A. residents just paid one of their firefighters $1.5m because he was fed some dog food. They really don't take their public servants for granted up there.

I think it's like apples vs. oranges. IMO, a comparable to LC would be Quail Hill. Perhaps Aliso. Comparable to OH would be something like, I dunno, Coto?

<p>awgee -- For one, the European Central Bank. It sets the rate in 13 European countries. My guess is they will likely cut at their next meeting in October. Why? Because their currency is becoming too strong and the exchange rate is harming European exports.</p>

<p><em>"In the past when we lowered our interest rates, most of the rest of the world did the same, so we did not have major inflation worries. This time, we are going it alone, and it will lead to inflation and ultimately higher interest rates."</em></p> <p>Actually, the Fed's move will...

<p>bishie -- let me see if I have it right. Lowering interest rates leads to a weaker dollar, which leads to higher cost of imports, which leads to cost inflation, which leads to higher interest rates...</p> <p>To sum it up, lower interest rates leads to higher interest rates.</p> <p>A bit...

With all this talk of the falling dollar, perhaps someone could explain why a weak dollar is a bad thing?

Max -- ever heard of palimony?

ns2524 -- you know, the 1st Amendment gives us all certain protections. bk can certainly say all those things and more on television, in a newspaper, or in any other public forum (though I disagree with your assessment that this is a "public" blog).

<p>You seem to suggest that the 50 bps cut was already priced into the bond market, but not the stock market. I have a hard time believing that the bond market is more efficient than the stock market.</p> <p>I'm not in the trenches but everything I've read suggests that in today's market the...
