CoronitaParticipantDon't think it's a bad area, especially the area toward the end of 15…
Mostly of the things that do happen probably in the middle of MM blvd, and are more petty crime, like people ripping of acura/honda badges from cars, occasional burglarly if you leave your garage doors open,etc. But probably not at that end of MM, and it doesn't happen that often. Again, this was what friends that live in MM told me.
I did hear one of my spouses coworkers was held up at gunpoint in her apartment complex last year as she was parking her car. I think it was that complex near the LA Fitness Center (can't think of the name anymore). But it was pretty random, and no one go hurt.

Don't take it personally. I just find people's trading patterns pretty entertaining. Usually people feel they're on top of the world when the market's in the direction they are positioned in. Very few people like to talk about days when they 20%+ down.
I have a simple rule about who is professional and who isn't. Professional traders that I have met never post their trades with 99% conviction they are right. Just like pro poker players don't talk about their hands.
I won't be jabbing at you about DUG, since I'm pretty much knee deep in this one myself, though it may be an issue when/if there's that 50pt basis cut if anyday now.
I'm curious. Who here is in a hole for 2008? Come on fess up…. Me first, I'm $40k in the hole right now, going on $60k if intel opens at the price that it traded ah, despite even sinking more money in today. I should post my holdings so real people that want to make money can just do the opposite of what I do, and we can split the profits 50/50 LOL.

CoronitaParticipantReminds me of the televised game program except this is going to be a serious Kaboom!!! Get ready to see the brats junk their overpriced Hummers and BMWs for pennies on the dollar to survive.
You could buy 2008 BMW M3's probably for pennies on the dollars right now…
http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/14/over-370-bmws-bound-for-new-jersey-port-damaged-in-shipping/
Ah, a little rubbing compound and that will buff right out….
What do you call 370 3-series and 1-series BMWs in the ocean? A good start.
What do you call 200 e90 M3's in the ocean? A day of mourning.
Yet another reason not to buy used bimmers. I'm curious how many of these will find their way to dealerships or used car lots.
The carrier M/V Courage tipped at the port in Jersey City on Friday causing damage to over 370 BMWs. The ship was loaded with new 3-series and 1-series vehicles, including new M3s. Around 70 of the damaged cars are reported to be total losses with others sustaining major damage. Word is that the M3s bared the brunt of the brutality. Extensively damaged cars will be crushed while those with minor damage will undergo repair at a receiving facility in Elizabeth, NJ, after which they will proceed onto dealers. Bimmers destined for European delivery customers were also on board, although it's not clear how those buyers will be handled in the wake of the incident.
This is a particularly harsh hit to BMW in terms of the new M3 and even more so for the owners awaiting their new V8-powered uber-coupes. We'd expect this unfortunately event will lead to an extension of the waiting period many potential customers will have to endure. It also means many dealerships are out of luck for a demo car. With the M3's competition coming on strong from the likes of Lexus, Cadillac and Mercedes one can only imagine this sort of setback might steer away a few potential buyers.
