I keep it around 75-78 degrees all winter, and save money. My hobby is cutting and splitting my own firewood. This year I heated exclusively with wood. I figure I saved $2k. The newer high efficient wood stoves are amazing. I have the next 3 years wood supply cut, split and stacked. It's like...

It doesn't matter what everyone else in the neighborhood paid for their houses in the past. The only thing that matters is what it is worth now. Also, I think that real estate hasn't bottomed out yet. If you decide to proceed, I would recommend that you disregard the realtor's comments and...

So true.

Those are respectable returns. I commend you.

Pull the trigger Mr Chang! Sorry, I couldn't resist that. I love that E-Trade commercial. Seriously though, I am staying away from the financial stocks.

I thought we might get hit pretty hard today. So many momentum players who don't realize what they have. Down 5% today and 5% yesterday. I'm actually glad because I got some Jan 2010 190 calls that I had been wanting. Hope we don't go too much lower before sanity is restored.

You nailed it! EPS $1.74. Guidance full year $9.50-10.50 Will be interesting to see how market reacts. The avg estimate was $1.52. I have too much POT also. It's my largest holding, way overweight. Good luck

I edited out the portion of my prior post which implied that some people can't invest in individual stocks successfully. That goes against my philosophy. The main reason I originally chimed in on this thread was to espouse my belief that the average Joe can beat the market. It is a lot of work...

Down 5% today. Earnings announcement tomorrow morning. Any predictions? I think there is a good chance we have a huge "sell the news" even if the earnings are outstanding. This because it has run up so fast. I didn't sell any though because I think this thing goes much higher in the long...

Oh no! Another certifiable nut job who thinks that he can actually invest his own money. LOL! Welcome to the club. Whatever you do, don't make the same mistake I did by sharing your results or you will be branded a liar.

Four airlines bankrupt in last 6 weeks. Fuel prices skyrocketing. Way too risky for me.

Clifp Thanks for posting that info. Use caution if you are going to short this thing. Who knows how far up it will run before everyone realizes the distribution will be cut. Also, If you are short when it goes ex div, you have to pay the distribution.

I agree that it is a bit confusing but the one thing that jumps out at me from that section of the 10k is that there is going to be a major cut in the distributions. I don't know that much about LP's but it sounds as though the limited partners are temporarily benefiting from an accrued...

Art. You guys are making money hand over fist on this stock. Congrats to you all. The fact sheet you referenced doesn't address the issue of the general partner taking a larger share of the distributions going forward. It is spelled out in the most recent 10k (Feb 28 2008). My interpretation...

I believe it. You are crazy fast on the computer too. A one minute response time? Thats got to be some kind of record. LoL
