I know, I know :duh: I bought NM back in 2006 when it was BULKW as a long term investment. I limit options to less than 1% of my overall investing, maybe I should switch to No Limit Hold'em? At least I would get free drinks!! Lance

I bought NM Sept $10 Calls @ $1.90 a month or so ago. I was waiting until NM hit $15 to sell and almost sold at $14.50? I hope I won't be waiting too much longer for NM to get back up there? In hindsight, I should have sold at $14.50 and I could have re-entered now. Oops. Lance

Keyboard Ninja, Thanks for the PM. This all pertains to the Army side of the house. I am a former enlisted PSYOPer. This MOS is highly misunderstood. Depending on your language and battalion of assignment, there is a tactical side and a strategic side. The tactical side includes going...

Did anyone catch the latest on the proposal that would add a Roth feature to the TSP and make it an automatic enrollment upon enlistment? Good idea to me. FederalTimes.com

Justing wondering if anyone plans on looking seriously at Visa's IPO scheduled to be offered around March 17? Prices estimated at $37-42. Could it perform similar to Mastercard's IPO in this market? Visa owns 40% of the market share while MA owns only 20% plus the new bankruptcy laws could...

I went from E7 to Warrant Officer this year. Here were my main reasons. I have under 10 years in, no desire to hang out for another 10 years and not get promoted more than once. The pay and the higher pension. Plus a $20K Bonus just to switch to W. At the end of this contract (5 more...

I think youbet's comment really hit home. As a speech pathologist, my wife could get hired us a DA Civilian. USAjobs has listings all over the US starting at GS-11/13. I think this would make it easier for her to transition from post to post. Also, my wife brought up that she could...

That certainly is the plan. Developing a healthy work ethic young. But we are still starting to see a rise in just basic costs: Sports, Lessons, Clothing.

My wife and I sat down the other day and went over our "financial plan." I am in the military and she is working on finishing her Bachelors this year while we have 2 school age kids (9,7) Because of my career, we move around a lot and she has had to take most of her classes online. The plan...

DW and I lived in Italy all of 2006, here is my advice: Rome is at least 2-3 days in itself. Florence is wonderful and can possibly be done in one rushed day or more likely two. Always call ahead for reservations to the most popular museums and art galleries (The Last Supper has a waiting...

Do it, that way there is no regrets. We've spent the last year in Italy and loved it. Most people save their entire lives to come and live here or other foreign countries, if you can experience it while getting paid, it is worth it. ER will be waiting when you get back or you may find you...

Thanks for the PM ;)

International stock-trading is coming soon at E-Trade Financial. Sometime in the second quarter, E-Trade will join Fidelity Investments and Charles Schwab offering international stocks to its customers. This is a great platform for global investors and I'm excited about this development because...

Brewer, I've got some shares of BULKW (now NM WS) Are you still holding yours? What is your outlook/target sell price? I am currently up around 260% Lance

What was your average income during your working years?

Actually I must admit... You guys (Along with Bogle, Swedroe, and Bernsein) got me to switch 95% into index funds. I still play wth 5% in stock picking and options just to appease my testosterone. I was the one who got woke up, thanks!

Update: My Challenge eyetri2's reply My Reply As Jan. 12th Close EXI2.SG – Dow Jones Global Titans@ $24.06 Gain of 11.44% (I also did not convert the Euro to dollars, which would make this a greater gain.) NFI @$23.63 - Loss of 27.11% - Dividend Yield of 23.30% = Loss of 3.81%

This is my continued question… Atheists want the right not to believe, which in my Christian opinion is fine. However, where is the mutual respect for those that choose to believe? These threads poke fun at believers and right wing figures which makes me further lose respect for the...

This link said nothing on the perception of Kerry’s comments only comments on the War in Iraq???

Then terrorists claim victory, Iran moves in and we go to war with Iran a few years down the road? I think everyone knows we need to get out of Iraq, but the “how and when” no one is willing to say. I’ll tell you now, we will have some form of troops in Iraq until 2011, it is already planned...

Perception is everything; those of us in the military did not see the misinterpretation. I have heard numerous similar stories from many different people on Hillary’s treatment of military personnel. Isn’t that what our news media does and report it as “factual” Have you personally been to...

We did a quick survey in my office of 12, we are all Army, which the Air Force will joke is the dumbest branch. Of the 12 who work in my office we have: 11 Bachelors Degrees 8 Masters Degrees 5 with Double Masters We also have someone who worked the White House during the Clinton era...

He is already maxing the TSP and wants to continue to contribute to his Roth.

I have a colleague who is a government employee overseas (not in a war zone) but his pay is tax free up to a certain amount, he also receives a military pension. Can he contribute to an IRA? At first I said no because he has no taxed earned income but is there an exception or loophole that I...

I own 2 rentals and I have never found anyone who actually has done a NMD deal? I have seen Lease Options, Quit Claim Foreclosures, Seller Financing but never a NMD? I guess you have to buy the Carlton Sheets secret formula?? ;D Lance
