The CFC CEO sells every April for the last few years. The thing that freaked me out most, in a good way, was how CFC board amended their bylaws or something to indemnify all company officers. So an CFC employee thats get sued, CFC stock covers the bill.

deadzone and rightside, you guys still in CFC short?

I’ve got a bunch of CFC Jan $30 08 puts at around 2 bucks so I’m down a little, but I’m just waiting for the “uh oh” when the wheels fall off. Also, got some Oct 07 puts but I dumped some of those last week for a minimal loss. I can’t wait for CFCs next quarter report.. this last one seemed pretty shaky. Your thoughts?

Profit Opportunity #1

Anyone who followed what rightside and deadzone were talking about made a lot. The return on many of those PUTs turned out returns in the thousands of percent.

In her posts I’ve heard allusions to certain substances that only a person who has lived with someone doing such would be able to pick up on.. that said, if you read back she had irrational beef with Rich when he wasn’t willing to disclose(rightfully) her constant antagonistic requests as to what he earned in his private real estate transaction(s) – she was way outta line. I might have the details wrong, but it was outta line.

I’m not a NFL scout obviously, but I was pretty unimpressed with what I saw from Brady Quinn during combine and his highlights – I’m not surprised he fell at all, I am surprised more quarterbacks weren’t taken before him.. most of his big passes were one spiral away from interceptions.. I think we’ll see alot of interceptions from him in the NFL.. he doesn’t have the strength or the release right now to keep the ball away from defenders.. In my opinion, a player throwing wobbly lofty balls in college might be given credit for having ‘touch’, but in the NFL he’ll be Ed Reed’s and every other decent safeties favorite QB! That said, Drew Brees was able to improve his philanthropic arm and he improved quite a bit – so hopefully this turns out into a fun comeback story.

On the Chargers.. Most people are really happy with AJ’s draft, but then again most Charger fans will kiss AJ’s feet and go on about how he’s the second coming.. excellent job his staff HAS done with their diamonds in the rough – Philips, Dielman, Gates, VJ(pending), ‘The Trade’= Eli for Merriman, Kaeding and Oben… My concern? AJ and team biggest draft blunder was Sammy Davis, I have a strange feeling that the Eric Weddle pick will be a mistake.. guy may be a heady player, but there are concerns about his strength and his frame looks too small to put any more muscle on…. we will see! I sure hope he’s good! Maybe he can become a workout freak like Archuleta.. Can’t wait for season to begin!

Go Chargers! Oceanside Chargers that is! 😉

Aren’t many engineers contractors anyway? I know in software it’s more and more that way…

I always thought of options as more of an incentive to account for the risk in a new company, more so than a standard reward for working at a big one.. I don’t foresee many front-line workers getting much of the pie, this seems like more of an executive thing once the company is established..

I know an engineer at Qualcomm.. worked there pratically in the Link-A-Bit days…

The person cashed out a cool mil.. paid cash for a $300k house in North County.. sold it 5 years later for $1+ mil, and moved up to Northwest and bought 100+ acres cash and are sitting on alot of money from Qualcomm and everything else related to how perfectly their timing was(admittedly accidental; wasn’t trying to time the market or anything).

Like others said.. imagine what the hierarchy looks like with 7000 employees(does that include sub/contractors?) How hard it would be to break through not only to a level where you’d get enough options, but also how far the stock would have to breakout for it to be that significant.. now compare that to the average employee, how many people does the winner have working for him/her.

Back when I was making 80k/year, gas was $1 and single family homes were like $180k in Elsinore.. my salary hasn’t quadrupled like gas, and it hasn’t tripled like homes in Elsinore, I need to get outta here!

deadzone, please post more. thank you.

I think many bears are cool with playing musical chairs.. they just want to make sure that they have a pillow stuffed behind rear end first, and you know that’s kinda embarrassing to be walking around all day like that… then again, many of us would probably rather stay standing and grab a clipboard to keep and eye on how the game is unfolding..

Here’s an area in Oceansie with excellent access to the 5 and 76.. I’ve seen quite a really nice places up for rent in this area(near Oceanside airport)

Wala Dr., Oceanside, CA

Some of the houses in that area are near big power lines.. might want to keep an eye on if you’re not down with that..

What you are seeing is a foreclosure. House went on the market at $1,299,900 and sold in less than 1 week. This example proves the opposite of what you stated.

It sold 30% below the foreclosure list price you posted, which as the thread points out is also lower than the 2002 pric… And what are you saying this doesn’t show? Did the house sneek by the millions of San Diegans dying to buy in Del Mar? Is there so little inventory that no one even tries??? I’m trying hard to get what you’re saying… is this just a transfer to the bank? Please elaborate..

More guns means safer theory kind works in the VT case, at least on the day of the shooting.. but what about kids/people that are on the edge, that if were comfortable or not afraid of guns would use them to solve smaller disputes? Dunno if it holds up in ‘the worlds a safer place’ argument… your attacker isn’t always firing off 50 rounds letting u know he’s coming or knocking on the door before he has a gun in your face.

Less than 400 Jews with a handful of weapons held off the German army for 4 months when the Germans were trying to clean out the Warsaw ghetto

Source please.. interested in reading about it. I mean, that’ obviously incredibly sensationalized – you don’t have to agree or be a fan of the the German war unit to know they pummeled entire countries and were doing whatever they pleased, if you think they couldn’t have just burned the place down or were really strongly pursuing a pocket of 400 people then……. but there is some valid concept in the snippet – guerilla warfare works(at least if youre not willing to napalm/nuke whatever) and there isn’t shiat anyone can really do about it at this point except trade lifes in an unfavorable ratio to whoever is trying to capture an area.. see Vietnam, Iraq, Lebanon, etc.

Found the source for the uprising you mentioned:
Warsaw Ghetto Uprising

From what I read, there were 300k people in the ghetto and around 60 thousand that were fighting back.. also had the support and equipment(grenades, weapons) from Polish resistance forces.

You’ll do fine with that price as any buyer will view it as 525K. Value range pricing is so 2004!

I saw some VRM priced places earlier in a flyer, and it was kinda funny how small the ranges were… I mean no gap I wouldn’t expect to shave off the bottom end of the price to begin with.

If you need to satisfy pride of ownership.. one such approach too consider, and one I’m taking is – buy a trailer, and a cheap desert acre for 10-20k.. That’s assuming you even like hanging out in the desert or have something to tow with.. at that point you have something you own, livable spot, weekend escape, and are buying in an area that in my opinion stands to appreciate in almost any conditions.. I see demand for desert land as ever increasing more than just more people on the planet.. see the Temecula experiment for the pattern that I think is most fitting.. even if it were to depreciate, it would be peanuts relative to an average salary or compared to a 20% drop on a 300-500k place..
