    Chinese stock market

    HOT! INVESTING 
    I notice a lot of financial commentators are referring to the Chinese stock market as a 'bubble' and comparing it to the Nasdaq of 1999. Not too long ago Goldman Sachs and a few other Wall Street firms came out with a sell rating on China citing excessive valuation or something to that extent. I...

    Twenty-Three Year-Old Facebook Founder worth $5 billion

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I don't think Facebook is a choice. FB is fast becoming a necessity . Social networking online is huge and will only get bigger. I think Facebook will be the winner. 25 years ago people did not see the PC as a necessity. Today you would be foolish to think otherwise. The same goes with online...

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Facebook is the real deal. Trust me. Advertisers can reach out to 100s of millions of people via this social networking website. It has a wider reach than any other medium. Think how much advertisers will pay for spots on FB. Zuckerberg is going to keep his billions and more. He's the 21st...

    The Kiyosaki Crash

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I've been in the mortgage lending business for the last 7 years and I can say for the most part we are not to blame for the current crisis. Sure there were plenty of shady people in the industry but the blame needs to be centered on the borrowers. They signed the loans. We explained the loan...

    Buyer Beware - Buying Funds at Year End

    INVESTING 
    Sorry. i don't know much about REITs. But if you believe real estate has bottomed here ( homebuilders etc) you could take a shot at URE which is a bull Real estate ETF which mimicks the Dow Jones Real estate index x 2. If DJRE is up 1% , URE is up close to 2%. URE is the opposite of the SRS...

    Buyer Beware - Buying Funds at Year End

    INVESTING 
    Instead of mutual funds have you tried buying ETFs ? Most mutual funds - infact over 90% lag the overall market. If you think the market is going up, go long DIA (Dow) , SPY (S&P 500) or QQQQ (Nasdaq 100) . Now they have these new bull ETFs which do 2X the actual index DDM does twice the...

    The Kiyosaki Crash

    OFF-TOPIC 
    They should call the current real estate slowdown across the nation the 'Kiyosaki crash' :) I'm sure a whole lot of people who speculated in real estate over the last few years were in some ways influenced by RK and other RE gurus. While RK never encouraged people to speculate on RE, he has...

    Is stocks a fastlane investment vehicle?

    INVESTING 
    "Is stocks a fastlane investment vehicle?" Too me fastlane is all about leverage. Can you apply leverage to stock investing via call and put options ? Yes You can control $100,000s worth of stock with a few thousand dollars. That is leverage. That is Fastlane.

    Time to Short Crox?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Looks to me like CROX is breaking out. With the market at all time highs , a run to $100 is probably a very safe bet. I would think we get there before January. From a technical perspective there was a bullish MACD crossover last week. The 50 moving average held support. A very safe place to go...

    $3,000 to $1,000,000 in 15 months: HOW TO DO IT

    IDEA 
    Sorry. Did not mean to come across as a spammer. Russ. Did not see the no RE , no borrowing part. You could start an LLC to buy the RE for you and get equity partners and borrow from private individuals vs banks and lending institutions. Just a thought. If RE is out of the picture than...

    $3,000 to $1,000,000 in 15 months: HOW TO DO IT

    IDEA 
    There are some pretty interesting posts in here. $3,000 do $1 million in 15 months. Challenging but certainly not beyond the realm of possibility. Acquire an REO package from a bank. Make a bulk purchase of SFRs for 50-60 cents on the Dollar. Sell it for 60-70 cents in individual pieces...

If you held your money in Dollars or held any asset which failed to gain 10% , you are lost money in real terms. If you made 10% in the stock market and the Dollar lost 10% did you...
