    REAL ESTATE 
    I use 10%... Still that 7% figure seems artificially low -- I know in my area you can get a house for as cheap as you can get an apartment, so why live in a crappy apartment? - Hakrjak

    Capitalism: Is it dying?

    Capitalism is dying, maybe..... The American Dream is certainly breathing it's last few breaths... Seems like nobody even tries to get ahead anymore -- They just want to lay around and play the blame game... The few who are actually trying are finding out that their government no longer has...

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Another update from the grocery store... Today at Sam's club, I paid $1.58 for a Gallon of Milk... For those of you who don't usually buy milk, it's usually $2.99-3.99 per gallon. I haven't seen $1.58 since the 90's. Deflationary trend? Keep your eyes open... Cheers, - Hakrak

    My life changing decision

    My brother immigrated to the US from the UK a few years ago. As I recall it was a rather complex process regarding the Visa... and he had to have an established job here before they would even allow him to get a work permit... He married a girl here, and 2 years went by before they'd allow him...

    Why Home Prices May Keep Falling

    REAL ESTATE 
    Seems like the vast majority of people on this forum and RDPD have been predicting a huge rise in rates for like 5 yrs now. Hasn't happened yet, but sooner or later it will I imagine :) Problem is -- if it happens, blood will run in the streets, so I don't think the US Government will allow...

    Why Home Prices May Keep Falling

    REAL ESTATE 
    The one key factor that would allow home prices to fall more would be if they allow the mortgage rates to get out of control and back above 7% -- Until that happens, I know that my market and others have been holding steady for quite some time now. - Hakrjak

    The Misery Portfolio

    I don't think you got that the point of this portfolio was to show how much money these stocks would lose, how bad things would get -- And they actually ended up making money. So there were no profits from this -- Because the point was for you to short this portfolio if you wanted to play it...
