The bottom line is that is much harder to be successful then not. To make change in yourself is HARD. It is much easier to hope for, to advocate, to force change in others then in yourself.

Life is not really fair. You either adapt or you do not.

Look at nearly all the successful people business people in America and most didn’t either go to college or were not geeks. Gates, Dell, etc. And for every Grove with PhD, I can name 10000 successful business owners.

If you look at the Pres Bush, Kerry, Biden, Powell, Mozillo, Palin, etc, these people are not the A students, they are mediocre students, many somehow getting Ivy League degrees. (Obama one of the few with decent grades, but who has NO street smarts or common sense, which cost him the election. How did that honors degree work out for him, whipped by the plumber!!)

The resentment of the wealthy may come from bailouts and the lack of any “personal responsibility”. “Those fat cats keep all the profits, but me Bob the taxpayer has to pay when he screws up”. We cant have any rules because Angelo and friends wont risk anything unless he knows that PIGGS will bail him if the market forces creates imbalances that cause rapid deceleration of job growth in their empire.

FLU touched upon Asians working really hard and not advancing as fast/far. If you want to get stuck in this predicament, just study hard, become a geek and end up a pathetic W2 casualty that will get taxed higher and higher by the man to pay for unlimited deficits. Our culture (and tax code) has deemed education passe. Like SDR said so eloquently, deal with it.

FLU,

Most of your arguments are valid, but some of your conclusions could be considered emotional leaps.

Sure, I think I have heard chinks on TV before and not hiSPanICs or n***rs. Asians are the punching bag of America, though much less so than 15 years ago.

The horrible Detroit case was 25 years ago, now even the black mayor after 10 tries in going to prison. (Sure, had he been Asian he would never had the guts and the political cover to do the the crimes) Point is that judicial system has gotten a lot more strict in those 20 years. The racist who killed turban headed gentlemen at convenience store right after 9/11 got the death penalty in AZ I believe. The Lee case didn’t get much attention because of our Law and Order society – he must have done something wrong. He did act strange. Clinton had too much political fallout from some illegal Asian contributors and couldn’t be soft in this case and threw him under the bus. The judge is the one who put him in isolation and then he blames everyone else but himself. Do you really think the case would be much different in last 7 years?? Joe the plumber is going to fight for Lee?

Women’s gymnastics is most watched sport in USA Olympics, don’t discount it. You think the Fox news watching crowd in east county thinks the world of the Chinese athletes or are going to treat your mom better than libs in La Jolla? They will all give you lip service, but in the end “Asians are just good workers bees, dont make any trouble, but they don’t have any clout so we can just step on them.”

This is what some white people think: Most Asians hate other Asian groups and almost always go for safe high paying professions. They generally don’t assimilate with their white neighbors and most laugh at blacks and Hispanics (and most whites) as lazy and stupid. They toil away in labs while dumb non Asians get promoted and play on the golf course with the execs.

I dont really get the Asian college quota argument. Who has said that Asians are taking away all seats away from black, or whites because of AA? Most everything I have heard is that “Asians study harder”, nothing else (well, ok they do have two brains that’s why they understand that non-Euclidean space thing)

You have proved that dems have let down Asians. You have shown that rep Party platform (H1B,etc) is more conducive to Asians, but you have not shown that Republican voters are nicer to your mom, which is really the bottom line.

I’m sure you have heard of 80/20 PAC, but hate it because they support dems usually. They claim they are trying to do some of the things you espouse.

Here are nice graphs on rates (note that recent graphs are 2 weeks behind):

1981 rates peaked and 1984 rates started falling.

stocktrader,

I like your instincts, similar to mine, except I cant watch the market during day. I should just hire you to be my broker! Last Friday morning I was ready to panic and go double short to hedge my 401K which I cant rebalance cause it may be +/- 10% next day. Instead I put limit order on Travelers Ins, got in at 30 and sold at 37 at end of close on Monday, happy with 20%+ in one day. Was thinking of putting buy order last night but didnt do it. Had I seen VIX go to 80 I would have bought probably AAPL or MSFT. Since the VIX reached record but the SP500 didn’t go below low from Fri, I think we have a short term rally here.
Check out AAPL April 09 45 puts at $3. Sell the put, worst case buy AAPL at 45?

I like BP’s 8% yield too, but read that they have big pension shortfall.
