    Hello from your favorite Pessimistic Investor

    HOT! INVESTING 
    I will probably take on a bigger cash position by the end of the week. some pretty bad developments brewing can potentially send negative shock waves through the markets.... I have said earlier in this thread some 6-8 months ago that Swaps are going to take a chunk right out of our a$$... well...

    thanks for the rep and I am glad to do this. Some strategies on this forum are very helpful to those who want to manage their money. Kidgas and Edge have excellent strategies and they obviously work. my "rule" is simple.... my long term purchases will have a larger risk tolerance. I can...

    FHA Waives 90 Day Waiting Period for Resales

    REAL ESTATE 
    would especially like a mortgage broker and/or a banker to interject ... my impression is that brokers/banks don't want to put so much effort into the lower end products that don't reap much in the way of fees.... I could be wrong.... and phlgrl - I'll say it for you: this plan just flat out...

    added even more Golden Ocean (GDOCF) today... it's up 15% on the day after a Norwegian analyst gave a nice rating... I am catching it on the upswing after taking a beating in the last week, but I'll take it. It's still annualized income better than anything else I have in my portfolio. Also...

    Home Equity Loan

    REAL ESTATE 
    not trying to get political here, but we can't forget that politicians have very short term outlooks and legislators are very reactionary instead of being proactive (regardless of party) ... whatever loudest voice prevails in the media is what seems to get noticed and addressed during...

    Home Equity Loan

    REAL ESTATE 
    Seeking a new venture, I have been recently working with a regional bank who is asking for 3x collateralized equity vs the amount we were contemplating. In other words, they are seeking 1mil in collateral from one of the properties to lend 300k against. the problem is not that the banks are...

    Controls - How to Prevent Employee Theft

    this was actually going to be one of my suggestions. But this policy is effective only in just a handful of places around the world. heh. serious- I have fired people and made it very clear to all of the associates that their firing was related to "unethical behavior" and if they were in fact...

    Critique My eBook Sales Page!

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I don't know what other ideas you got, but I think pictures of people (before they were lucky vs. after?) would really keep readers attention. I looked at a screen full of writing and it didn't stick out enough.... more colors, pictures and probably a headline that will immediately grab the...

    Anyone Think Oil Is In A Bubble?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    as long as US$ stays weak, oil will remain at these levels, if not higher. I just fear that we will enter a coal and NG bubble.... that could really put one of the final nails in the USA's economy. (coal is already shooting to the moon)

    Any NBA fans here?

    just seems to be all too true in NFL and MLB... strike zones can vary in the same game... drives me nuts. NFL instant replay is not used on every "questionable" catch, drop, etc.... unfortunately

    Does Brand Marketing Help?

    MARKETING 
    a couple of things in this thread hit home but I will embark on one of them- - brand awareness is really ideal for service based products that can act as "reminders" for the services as they arise, or even before. Grooming probably falls into that category since the customer is generally a...

    Stock Collars

    I am surprised but pleased with the divvy announcement.... at my cost basis, this income annualizes as a 16% return and production has probably not peaked yet. Selling covered calls might not be a good strategy. Fording announces Distribution.......... -- CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire -...

    Mortgage/ Credit Question

    REAL ESTATE 
    you can buy online credit reports for approx $20+/-.... print it out for yourself . most importantly, you highlight a very reality that inquiries affect credit scores- immediately disallow the bank from checking your credit score from the get go as long as you provide the report.
