ParticipantI never shop Vons and Ralphs again. I either shop at Asian Supermarkets, Costco or Walmart. I usually save about 20 to 25% ($150/month) by not shopping at Vons and Ralphs.
Why should I spend $150 extra monthly to help unionized workers at Vons and Ralphs to bag grocery, stock the shelves or clean the floor when they can hire people to do the same things for half the cost? The same thing is happening at unionized GM and Chrysler, why should tax payers giving the two companies more than $50 bil so uneducated workers can make $30/hour in wages + $35/hour in benefits? Can you believe benefits cost more than the salary? Mine is about 35% of my salary and I am happy.

ParticipantMy aunt bought 5 SFHs in the last two years with positive cash flow after taking in the rent, and paying tax. However, she is in for the long term. Not flipping.

October 22, 2009 at 6:36 AM in reply to: If you believe in the stock market buble, where do you park your money? #472223ParticipantMy two years performance is -10%. Eventhough the gain has been great this year. I lost a lot from Fall 09 to Winter 10.
I can’t check the gain for the last 5 years but 2006 and 2007 were really good years.

My 401K account gained 65% this year. It is mainly Asian and Emerging market mutual funds.
How did it do last year? What was the combined return over a two year period?
We had an ‘unusual’ event that caused the market to drop, and possibly overshoot. Looking at the 2 year perspective might give you a better idea.[/quote]

I just pushed 25% of my money into US Bond Index. The rest are equally divided into Emerging Markets, Asia Pacific, and Europe. Nothing in US stocks now.
