Just LOOK at their YIELD!!!

Gasoline may move separately from oil for a while during hurricane Ike, but a little longer the gasoline prices should fall, as long as ziggy's prediction is out there.

Think I should chime in being a current student (go back for third year Sunday). My brother left the nest two years before me and I do feel that gender plays an important role in parents' decisions with their children. My brother and I are kind of expected to succeed and do well on our own, so...

Doubt that somebody would be able to win the 800 and 200, very different events, the 200 is basically an all-out extended sprint. 400 is similar to a sprint, but not quite and 800 is not a sprint. Correct me if wrong, however, it may have already happened. By the way, the reason that Phelps is...

Stay on topic, stay on topic!

Exactly... the idea of real estate and stocks is that above their intrinsic value (as property, where stocks is a claim on the company) is the resale / investment value. But, this does go into the "value" or "worth" of a good. Say you see a TV now for $200. It is worth $200 to you with...

Those goods are used for consumption, however, in their intrinsic value as a good. The argument can be made that it is very irrational for housing because there is an intrinsic value and renting is an option, but stocks are an investment. For whatever reason in human psychology, the masses...

Not sure about the claim, but we have been on the topic of underwater versus overwater (above water, or whatever). Thus, homeowners who put 20% down (there are actually a lot of them still) since 2006 and paid principal and interest the last two years or so may have more equity in their home...

Compare the USD with other countries/currencies though. Besides the franc, most of the beatings of USD vs. XXX has already occured. Not that it can't go down further because I do not know, but the dollar has principally already gone down because of expectations in a weaker economy and the...

Morals or Morales or Morale (is Morales a word or a latino name?) By the way, said second half 2009... but don't really know what "recover" means.

I was exaggerating for effect, the internet does make it tough though.

So, is a well paying job an asset or just a means to assets... hmmm, seems like the old rich emans income stream or wealth argument... and, yes, I believe that income streams do have value such that maybe by definition your "principal" is $0, but the value of it should be included when...

Aren't pimps rather diversified? Investing in a pimp sounds kind of like a woman MF.

I am not talking about people's general knowledge of the markets, more that people here are more frugal and are better at saving and are more aware/knowledgeable/interested/concerned in saving and financial independence. A very self-selecting sample of people on this board, I believe.

Maybe tinfoil hat should be used more frequently. What makes it difference this time? Everything will not end within the next year. I think most people believe that the U.S. economy is somewhere along the spectrum between "Buy gold, ammunition and food because the economy will fall apart...
