    Will we ever see a 0% mortgage?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Here's a thought -- get the US Gvnt to offer 0% loans in exchange for small investors buying up all the Foreclosure inventory on the books right now. I guarantee it would clear inventory off the books, and you'd have a huge bump to the economy from all of that activity. Cheers, -Hakrjak

    The FACEBOOK IPO, and how you can profit....

    INVESTING 
    If you only play value trades, I understand waiting. If you also dabble in speculative trades based on other factors, then you'll miss most of the upside by waiting. I missed several of these big moves in the late 90's, so am going as much on gut as anything. Don't want to miss another one.

    A Hustler's Guide To Opening an Online Store.

    HOT! 
    Following your post with enthusiasm Ryan! During my foray into online retail a few years back, I was never able to convert Ebay profits into online store profits. I had a shopping cart and an online storefront, but I could only convert maybe 1 sale per month vs 100 sales on Ebay per month. I...

    The FACEBOOK IPO, and how you can profit....

    INVESTING 
    Time to post an update to this thread. I decided that I would go ahead and buy stock in LinkedIn.com as a gateway to getting a piece of the action on the Facebook IPO. It's not going to be as sweet as being an accredited investor and getting gifted a $10million profit on day 1, but I imagine...

    Should I refinance my rental property?

    REAL ESTATE 
    I've grappled with this question on several of our properties over the past 5 years. Ultimately, I decided to stand Pat and leave everything in free-floating ARMs, which has paid dividends in increased profits and savings on closing costs, etc so far. Ultimately, I've come to the conclusion...

    Fed's plan to turn Foreclosures into Rental Property!

    REAL ESTATE 
    Turning foreclosures into rentals - Jan. 9, 2012 So the Fed is essentially going to move forward with a plan that dumps foreclosures cheap to investors in the near future it sounds like. I'm assuming that all of these deals will go to "accredited" investors with $millions to invest in blocks...

    MJ, What steps lead to publishing your book?

    PUBLISHING 
    It definitely begs the question why more authors don't self publish. You've got to think that famous authors are now wealthy enough to not be so reliant on publishing companies, who are robbing them blind. Seems like as far as business startup costs go, you can put out a self published book...

    how to make money from rich dumb people....

    Think this business model falls under the category of "Giving rich guys with too much money another way to try to impress girls" -- haha... I mean, let's face it -- the whole VIP thing with $1000 bottles of vodka and table service, etc is just another way guys can show off their black Amex to...

    INVESTING 
    You can say the same thing about Google.... I knew a lot of people on boards including me saying there was no way in hell it was worth $100 a share, and it would surely go down. But the fact remains even if you bought it on the open market on day 1 and held it until now, you made $500/share...

    Will we ever see a 0% mortgage?

    REAL ESTATE 
    I checked into these interest only loans Yahoo Finance was showing and they don't exist. I was able to find some Interest only programs but they required 20% down, and their payment was barely cheaper than a 30 year fixed! Stuff like that is why the economy is stuck in the mud... You can...

    Steve Jobs is DEAD!!

    Steve Jobs and his success early on with Apple was definitely a huge factor in my decision to get into the computer industry at a young age. Growing up in Northern California, the man was an absolute legend -- and an inspiration to so many other young kids just like me. Steve Jobs exemplified...

    Will we ever see a 0% mortgage?

    REAL ESTATE 
    The Fed sounds like he may start buying treasuries to push rates to all time lows in an attempt to spur borrowing and bring back the real estate market. Sounds like getting closer to a 0% mortgage is becoming more of a reality all of the sudden! I looked at rates today because I'm looking at...
