In a short sell situation I could see asking for buyers name, so the first 2 questions are reasonable, then they go off a cliff. I personally would provide first two pieces of info only. If they want to research the rest of it that is up to them. I personally would not give them SS# until offer is accepted in writing.

I remember once my girlfriend had a crazy neighbor, literally who would stand on her balcony and scream well into the night. I remember being amazed that nobody shot her dead, I guess people get mad at dogs but will tolerate humans, my goal in life is to be more like my dog.

Great read, until the end. I don’t think energy stocks are nearly as solid as gold, remember Enron?
I personally am going to invest in large cap companies that are paying a dividend above the CPI and in my estimation have a very small chance of going bankrupt. Since China holds so much of our debt, what is their opinion? What is their 5 year plan? I’m pretty sure that while their standard of living may be increasing in general that many of their factory workers probably feel like slaves. I work in the service industry and would love to produce a product but how do you compete against slave labor and a country that would steal your ideas and doesn’t really believe in trademark or patent rights?

After thinking about it a bit, I think the media focuses on unemployment when talking about the economy. Although that aspect affects many people. I don’t think it is 100% necessary for unemployment to go down in order to enter into recovery mode. I think once those jobs are gone, they are gone, don’t think they will be coming back any time soon. So anyone unemployed should either start their own business or get a job that can’t be exported or be filled by H-1B visas.

Yeah we’re in recovery. Should somebody tell Mitt or Obama? Time to reinvest in the market.

I’ve never filled in a pool before, but I think you need a permit for that and I’m betting it isn’t a cheap process. I think I saw a house 2 blocks from the beach with a view just the other day in sunset cliffs for the same price.

I’m sure in 1933 people felt pretty much the same as the majority of posters here do. Just a thought, recovery could go either way and I doubt the next puppident will make any difference. According to Zillow, I’ve made more on my house this month than I’ve lost in the market, that makes me feel a little better. Oh yeah and I can theoretically rent my house for more than I’m paying on my 20 year mortgage. Still not feeling nirvana however, once HPQ hits $40 later this year I’ll feel better though.

You could shop vac them up and then put a free posting on craigslist, I’m sure somebody will want them. Come to think about it, I guess you could do that with anything,surprised I haven’t seen somebody giving their significant other away on craigslist.

Yes-How can “cash be king” when credit is so loose? I’m not complaining mind you just making a mental connection. By the way Hewlett Packard hit a new 52 week low today(good?bad?)don’t know but I bought some of the action.

Pick a big company that has positive earnings, is paying a dividend and is near it’s 52 week low. Buy in with cash reserves left (to buy more in case it drops more) when it drops 4% buy more, when it’s up 4% sell. As long as they don’t go bankrupt should be ahead more than what a CD pays. I’m thinking that the banks are probably doing the same thing with their “professional investors”.

Although not a daily I have always enjoyed the main stories in the Reader, and it’s free. I am embarrassed to say I subscribe to the UT for a whooping $5.76/mo. barely worth it.

Seeing as Rich hasn’t posted in over a month why don’t we turn this into a stock forum? I just bought HP, who thinks I’m crazy? After buying them I learned that when a stock has a Q after it, that means they are in bankruptcy, please someone tell me it doesn’t apply to HP.

When I was younger I thought my dad was lazy wanting to retire at the age of 50. Now that I’m 50 I feel the same urge, if I could, I would, which makes me rethink, am I using my time wisely. If I were being paid more/earning more then I would be able to retire earlier. Truth be told though I think I would get bored if I were not working. Happily bored, but how do I know until I try it. I’ve worked 34 years continuously and have realitively little to show for it. If I weren’t drinking wine right now I might even be depressed about the whole thing.

Paramount good post, do you think Peter Schiff recycles? When I’m at peoples houses that are “richer” than me and I ask them if they recycle it’s almost always a PC response “why yes,let me find a bag” or something like that. Actually I’m amazed that so much is recycled. I suspect it gets done further down the food chain however. 82% is really amazingly good (for the environment, bad for the economy) if you think about it. Ok now for the shameless plug. If you live anywhere near the Qualcomm Stadium there is a recycling center in the soutwest corner of the parking lot that is run by the Urban Corp. Also after posting I realized that the data is really old but still interesting to look at.

“Steve Jobs” yes I’m still reading it, one chapter at a time. Anything Walter Isaacson writes is good in my opinion. Currently watching “Game of Thrones”, will probably want to read that next.
