Hi all, I have some really dumb questions about these bonds. 1. If a bond is called does the statement from the broker say the bond was called or does it say sale? 2. Is it possible that the brokers statement can reflect a loss but not really be a loss? 3. Can the cost basis show that it is...

I went to my usual sites today and found that the US gov. has seized them. They were live streaming from different parts of the US. They had the usual commercials etc. Will this cause me to sign up for cable and buy a TV? NO! What the heck! I got rid of my TV in the early 80s when it went...

Because misery loves company I just wanted to know if anyone else is having a really BAD year? I put my cat down today. He was 16 with kidney failure I did everything I could for him as with my 16 year old dog back in May. But the worst part of the year has been that my younger sister (55) found...

Hi all, Just found this site. What a great alternative to the usual hotels etc. Found it on NY Times Twitter feed. I've been browsing through it for the last hour, really interesting. Vacation rentals, private rooms, sublets by the night - Accommodations on Airbnb

I was just wondering for those of you living in Thailand, how is the student unrest affecting you, if at all? I just heard on Bloomberg Asia that a lot of tourists are leaving. During my travels I usually found that the news over-hyped the situation. In 1993 while crossing from Thailand into...

I.O.U.S.A. trailers and video clips on Yahoo! Movies Watched this trailer for a movie coming out in August. Looks interesting. Will probably go see it.

How I Lost My Job and Found Happiness I thought some of you could relate. :)

I've heard from various sources that the only way we (USA) can get out of this mess is to devalue the dollar. Which basically means that owning stocks, real estate, CDs and anything else in US dollars is not the place to park money. Basically move your money to foreign currencies. Anybody else...

http://finance.yahoo.com/family-home/article/103968/MySpace-for-Millionaires I guess I'm just riff raff as one of the users of this site complained. Haven't visited the site mentioned but found the article amusing.

I wanted to brag about reaching my goal but couldn't think of anyone to brag to without incurring unintended ill will etc. I received my cash out of holiday and vacation hours not used. It put me over the 1mm mark!;D (home equity not included) You guys understand! Having 1mm in cash/stocks...

Anybody on this site still use dial-up besides me? My dial-up is 9.95/mo and dsl extreme would be 14.95/mo. I'm finding since I retired and play on the computer more there are quite a few things I can't do like youtube and other videos. It takes forever to download. Just looking for opinions. I...

how happy I am? How glad I am to have taken the plunge? True it is only Day 5. I've only done really mundane and uninteresting things, such as cleaning house, taking the dog to the vets, going to the movies, working out etc. But this retirement business can't be beat! I have bouts of absolute...

I am somewhat amused that I am choosing to retire when the dollar is at a 30 year low (or so I think I heard), gold is at around $800 an oz., the market is sliding daily, gas is around $3.19/gallon for regular. Oil is over $100. Now my figures may not be accurate today but they are somewhere in...

I'm joining the ranks! I know I cried wolf before but I'm actually signing the paperwork tomorrow during lunch at the Board of Retirement. It's kind of sudden but I think it is right. Friday will be my last day of full employment. I must say all you guys helped shove me along the way. Co-workers...

I read a post on this board where the poster retired but did not tell anyone. How many of you have RE'd and kept quiet about it? And why have you decided to retire without telling family etc? I'm asking this question because I've thought about not telling family members when I retire. I'm...

It's a long story... but I had requested to take tomorrow off. I thought it was a done deal since I requested it a few weeks ago. When my super said I couldn't have it off, I said "I QUIT". She looked shocked. It wasn't a bluff because I'm not good at that kind of thing. I was ready to walk. I...

I went to my favorite watering hole after work. I picked up a USA Today that they provide. There was a small article about Etrade starting a global trading platform as they called it. I went to the website and didn't see anything about it. The article said that Schwab and the rest might follow...
