    Storm coming and nobody is worried.

    I was subject to the Premera hacking, and I (and a bunch of my coworkers) are hopping mad. Same two year do-nothing credit watch plan, after which the crooks will go to town. I used to work in computer security, as well as general compliance, this stuff isn't rocket science if you design things...

    Will oil price ever come down?

    All I did was point to the survey you mentioned, and brought up their own survey. If you think everything I post is an attack on you, then you really do need to calm down.

    (quiet, sedate voice) Testosterone poisoning is a real illness affecting millions. But there is help. Chillpilliol is a new medication that reduces the effects of testosterone poisoning. Side effects include chills, nausea, fever, bad breath, thousand-yard stares, increased appetite...

    international funds

    An alternative is Oakmark International (OAKIX.) Expenses are a bit higher, but many fund houses have it as NTF. Oakmark actually is more "value" now - lower PE and a higher yield.

    Favorite Hiking Trails

    Naah, there are a ton of trails open there: http://www.fs.fed.us/gpnf/04mshnvm/trails/index.shtml Kind of a long drive if you just want to hike for the day. It's one of those places I keep meaning to go to, but every time I drive by I'm either dead tired or the weather sucks. Driving by again...

    international funds

    Dodge and Cox International is a FANTASTIC fund, and expenses are very low (almost as low as Vanguard.) I have Fidelity Diversified Int'l for my growth fund now, expenses are a tad high but it's got a great record, plus it's in my 401k.

    Favorite Hiking Trails

    Lots of terrific trails in Washington State. If you like hiking up a mountain, you've got: - Mount Si - Tiger Mountain - Mount Pilchuck All of which are popular and so kinda crowded. But there are trails everywhere. Did Robe Canyon a few weeks ago; unfortunately a slide has cut off part of...

    Having worked with Europeans in the past, I can testify to the veracity of this statement.

    Paying low balance fees on mutual fund in Roth IRA

    Depends, but many will let you pay the fee with outside money. AFAIK, it does NOT count as a contribution. Vanguard always let me do it, anyway.

    Will oil price ever come down?

    Did you know that back then, people were concerned about horses? Seriously. Too much horse manure, not enough fields to grow food for horses, overcrowding in cities, etc.

    China 'is more popular' than US

    Europe still hasn't gotten used to the idea of having lost their world domination. So, they're spiteful. Even during the dark days of the Cold War, the US wasn't appreciated over there.

    Global Megabubble?

    Honkie, I'm not saying that China is "cheating." Rather, that they are building an entire economy around an undervalued currency - since they're also undervalued relative to Europe and other countries that they export to. Also, because their currency is undervalued, their US dollar reserves...

    Global Megabubble?

    Funny, I was chatting with a friend about this. He described in great detail what China is doing. Basically, all these dollars are going into the state bank, which are then being forced upon the various local banks which then lend the money to the factories that are producing all the "made in...

    If you expected that, then either you are a newbie to internet message boards or a troll.

    China 'is more popular' than US

    Of course it was politically charged. "Hey, Europeans like China more than they do the US!" Talk about lobbing a grenade into a room. That you are picking on Art and myself when notth certainly played a part indicates to me that you're upset at those who aren't taking your position. Too bad.
