BP (per original post) might be a good choice.

I read their market cap is down $50B since the accident. Might that be overdone?

Certainly the cleanup will be very expensive, but taking Exxon Valdez as an example, how long might it be before the total forked over by BP is $50B? Never?

If one of the fixes works in the next few days, might their valuation come way up?

Not a bad trading (not “investing”) idea it seems to me…

CA renter you talked me out of my CA money market fund at one of the meetups. This was where I had my downpayment savings due to its double taxfree nature.

I since changed to a more diversified fund and suck it up on the state taxes. Not like there’s much interest being paid nowadays anyway…

I have to admit I’ve slept better since I took your advice. 🙂

[quote=briansd1]I don’t think that many parents give houses to their kids. If that were to become a common trend, house prices would drop in the future because proportionately fewer young adults would need to buy houses.[/quote]

I would bet you’re wrong about that briansd1, at least counting inheritance. But I imagine a very common scenario is more than one sibling, and the heirs liquidate the asset in order to split it easily.

Really gives a more detailed insight into what they’re trying to do down there.
