ParticipantDave,
I think that depends upon the woman he is cheating on. I have had more than one oppertunity to cheat in my life (on my GF’s) and never have. Usually because I didnt need nor want the drama it would eventually cause in my life. Your sinario basicially is just a ‘without all the drama, would you…’ question.
Having said that there has been two women in my life who so fully consumed me that even though I was presented with the oppertunity to in both relationships, I never even considered it. With them, I was that 5%. With the others, I was the 50%. I think the ratios you give are a testement to how many people marry for love, marry for convience (social pressure) or marry for necessity (shotgun wedding 2010); and not a refelection of male personalities per se.
(please dont take this as a ‘blame the wife’ post, it most certainly isnt. its a ‘You dumbass, you married the wrong woman post.)
ParticipantI say good for the kid. He paid for his own stuff, instead of getting dad to do it. No different than if dad had forgotten the bread or something, and sent his son to get it, cept that the extra transaction will take like 30 seconds. Considering all the ‘Etiquette’ transgressions that happen in markets, that is a non-starter to me.
My personal favorite is the blank look people give when they are suppose to pay. As if they didnt realize the food wasnt free. “you waited till NOW to pull out your damn wallet!”

ParticipantI am no expert, so take someone elses advice with more weight, but your time frame is wrong. The tax credit doesnt end April 30th. It is for contracts signed by April 30th, closing (when they count sales) can go on till the end of June. May, June, July are very strong months for housing anyways, and CA just upped the anti as well. And that doesnt even start untill May 1st.
Basically the various forms of gov tax credits have rigged the system till after July.
If you want an imperfect lead indicator, id recomend looking at Aug and Sept NEW home sales. Those are counted at contract signing, not closing. If they start falling, start planning on how you can cash in on the soon to be upcoming tax credit.

You have a good point there. I didn’t really write what I was thinking. If an investor moves money from a bank account into the market by buying stock and the seller of that stock then acquired a different stock, the money supply has gone down. If the seller stays in cash, you are correct, no change to the money supply. And by trading, I meant sell Ford, buy Alcoa. [/quote]I certainly could have missed something, but why? So I took $1 and bought a stock (say Ford) from you. That $1 went to your account, who then took the $1 you got from selling (Ford)and bought some other stock (say Alcoa) from flu. That $1 now resides in the account of flu who use to own alcoa. I own your Ford stock, you own flu’s Alcoa stock, and flu has the dollar. How did the money supply change?
The only way I know of money supply to change is for the FED to ‘print’, or banks to loan.
