    Jim Rogers long USD..

    INVESTING 
    Jim Rogers, a man who is one of the most consistently accurate investor out there and famous for being more bearish on the dollar than perhaps everyone bar Gerald Celente (aka Dr Doom) is bucking the bearish trend against the dollar. I can't find the interview in which he no doubt explains why...

    Have We Lost Our Hunger?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Twenty years ago ABS brakes and a cassette player were luxuries in a car. Now an entry level car is highly likely to feature ABS, stability control, curtain and seat airbags, bluetooth and mp3 compatibility, crumple zones, electronic gadgets galore etc.. 20 years ago a computer would take up...

    INVESTING 
    Oops, I downloaded a bunch I wanted to read a couple days ago, it seems it's now experienced the slashdot effect and is now returning a 403 page due to the server being overloaded by people running scripts to download all. Maybe it will be back in a couple weeks when the next billing period...

    Carlos Slim Disses Gates’ And Buffett Billion Dollar Donations

    EXECUTION HOT! 
    The best foundation I've seen from a billionaire is by Ingvar Kamprad of IKEA fortune. Bobby you might like to read about it for some ideas. In short it involves Netherlands registered trusts and a Liechestein registered company that allows him to escape the destructive tax system of Sweden...

    Watch what happens to Libya

    OFF-TOPIC 
    No. Given the rebels in the eastern parts of Libya who Nato is aiding are from the same region and are likely the same people who just a few years ago smuggled arms and fought in Iraq to kill US and 'allied' soldiers this is not likely. BBC News - Profile: Al-Qaeda in North Africa Libya: the...

    The real Detroit

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Well first you've got to pinpoint the causes that make the populace of Detroit far more likely to be involved in such crime than those in other cities: 1. For the most part due to a lack of opportunity thanks to decades of union action and corrupt governance driving out jobs and opportunity in...

    Sold his start-up for 40 million!

    EXECUTION 
    The group buying industry is set for a major collapse imo, too many players providing a service of questionable value. The kind of customer who a retailer can only bring in with a 50-90% discount is not the kind of customer they want to focus on attracting through such an expensive advertising...

    Movies like Zeitgeist and The Secret?

    HOT! 
    Thanks for the write up. How can removing money be beneficial to man? Without a price system that signals to producers so that they know how much individuals consume how can they claim peoples needs will be met by some magical zeitgeist? The absolute necessity of the price system is a...

    "Sidewalker" falls into mall fountain while texting . . .

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I don't think a case as outrageous as this would proceed beyond early stages, there is seemingly no basis to claim it was the mall operators negligence that led to her falling in. Mind you there is a lot of frivolous law suits that go through the courts here, not often anything as bad as this.

    "Sidewalker" falls into mall fountain while texting . . .

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Russ, Such an outrageous law suit reminded me of one that was succesfully brought against exercise equipment manufacturer cybex (nasdaq:cybi). One of their machines was installed in a NY gym for 25 years with no incident when a woman somehow managed to knock the machine and hundreds of pounds...

    the DO thread.

    HOT! 
    Nothing overly significant but I've found a few good sources for analysis and raw data on stocks and just need to find something that will give me a better insight on currency movements. I've also come up with two trading/investment strategies which I have done some early research on and still...

    Tax Question

    TAXES | REGS 
    As far as tracking your own results perhaps if you do it in a public blog and lay out your investment philosophy, thoughts, performance and what not over a couple years like this guy did (he tracked performance of a virtual portfolio and impressed people so much that he now has $12M in...

    "I think I could make you 50% a year on $1 million...."

    INVESTING 
    When I read the quote I thought exactly the same as you, "possible but improbable". As I said in my first post in the world of computer screening unlike when he began there is no longer good companies that have slipped through the cracks and become valued at multiples of 1 or at less than the...

    I am in Sydney well away from the rains but have friends in the southern suburbs of Brisbane, they are all fine thankfully. If you don't already then first thing tomorrow get some non perishable foods because I hear the stores are being cleaned out and if the main roads into Brisbane are...
