    My car will be 18 years old this summer and it looks and runs like a champ. Just had valve cover gaskets, pcv valve and spark plugs, etc replaced again, etc. It’s cheap to insure and tag and ready for another long road trip ;=]

    Hail to old cars! Break out the paper maps and trunk-mounted CD magazines!

    I also have “old, ripped, paint-splattered shoes” but they are reserved for painting, weed-pulling and mowing” (due to not having an HOA or gardener, lol)!

    You are in wrong stocks.

    1. market cap > 50e9 -> No doubling (except AAPL)
    2. Chip stocks > 2e9 Mcap -> No doubling

    If you want to double in a year you need to be here 🙂

    1. Chinese internet stocks -> double, double (BIDU, YOKU, DANG)
    2. Rare earth -) double double (REE,MCP)
    3. Cloud computing -> double double (CRM,RVBD,FFIV)
    4. Fad shoes -> Double double (DECK, CROX)
    5. Fad clothes -> double double (LULU)
    6. Agriculture -> double double (POT, DE)

    For yet another perspective, this one from David Brooks:

    “Amy Chua Is a Wimp”

    “I have the opposite problem with Chua. I believe she’s coddling her children. She’s protecting them from the most intellectually demanding activities because she doesn’t understand what’s cognitively difficult and what isn’t.”

    And for another perspective on the “globalized class” …

    We present for your analysis one Mr. Li Hongzhang as an exemplar of China’s first globalized class. Li was a brilliant scholar, prominent official, and noted diplomat who handled most of the Qing empire’s foreign policy in the later half of the 19th century. He was held in high esteem among the globalized circles of the time — indeed one of the leading proponents of 19th century globalization, Queen Victoria, knighted in the highest grade of the Royal Victorian Order.

    If the average American is aware of him at all, it is through the Abercrombie racist T-shirt scandal of 2002. Why would the name “Li Hongzhang” be offensive? Because in the People’s Republic, he is vilified as a traitor who signed unequal and humiliating treaties with Europe, the U.S., and Japan, selling out the national interest for his own personal gain.

    Perhaps this judgment is unfair. Some historians would argue that the good Marquis was a pragmatist who made the best of China’s unfavorable situation. But the message it sends to the rest of the world is clear: globalization is for suckers, unless it’s under your terms. 🙂

    And I note it’s not just the Tea Party crowd that looks askance upon globalization … they’re not the ones who riot in the streets every time the G-8 or G-20 meets somewhere. 🙂
