And UK has partially nationalized it’s major banks. Holy moly… Wow, things are coming unglued pretty fast.

You know, one has to wonder if Paulson originally took that 700billion and bailouted Lehman, would things have gotten this bad this quickly?

I mean, it’s sort of like trying to revive a dead patient at this point. Or maybe it was intentional to fvck up the rest of the world. Nah, that would have required too much thought on his part 🙂

Consider consulting in china

Thirty days ago, the GM for our Beijing R&D center calls me up cold. Asks if I wanna come over to Beijing on a two year contract paid the equivalent in RMB to my existing US salary.

For example, let’s say I make $175K/year today. Next month I’m in China making 6.8 X 175,000 = 1.2 million RMB/year. However, no ex-pat package (no housing allowance…etc)

Implication: built-in salary increase every year in dollars, due to the exchange rate move! Plus I get my typical raise on top of that.

My wife forced me to turn down that offer. She’s Chinese and yet doesn’t want to go back to China! I married a Chinese and that prevents me from now living in China? How the hell does that make sense? We had a full week of yelling matches over that topic.

She’s a high school teacher who is only one year away from getting her tenure…and she has just landed a full time job in Palo Alto, one of the most sought-after Silicon Valley school districts (both for teachers and students). She didn’t want to give that up for a teaching position in Beijing.

True story.

So stockstrader,

Dumb question, do you have a roth account that you make regular contributions to? I guess I’m curious if you’re allowed to short sell from them.
