    Bull Market or Sucker's Rally?

    INVESTING 
    Up almost 200 pts today so far based on some positive housing news that came out. This is why they call it a Sucker's Rally though, because it sucks you in ;) Cheers, - Hakrjak

    How many properties have you sold/bought this year?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Ditto to what J said... a massive recovery is going to blow me out of the water by bringing in way too much competition and too many amateurs. I've tried to do business in an up market before, and it was a lot more difficult to make money than it is now :) - Hakrjak

    How the Freak Did This Happen?

    FUNNY 
    Must be the term "Entrepreneur" -- So like 90% of the people out there right now, I think that denotes some MLM involvement. They loooovvvvveeee that word! Cheers, - Hakrjak

    Overstock CEO - Take on the middle class

    I get accused of this all the time in real life... My fiance likes to call me a pompous a$$. I'm going to chalk it up to personality traits of highly successful people ;) hehe - Hakrjak

    Overstock CEO - Take on the middle class

    Poor choice of words by him I guess... I took it as his interest in pointing out the problem of minorities not graduating at a higher rate than the majority, and he used a slang term, "Burn", meaning to discard or vaporize, forget, disregard, etc.... Not to actually lynch and burn these...

    Overstock CEO - Take on the middle class

    You bleeding heart ;) I tend to agree with the guy. In this day & age, if you can't even graduate high school... Which is just a basic measure of you being able to show up somewhere and fog a mirror for 4 years -- You are throwing your life away. The likelihood of you achieving anything is...

    Bull Market or Sucker's Rally?

    INVESTING 
    What I want to know is when the job losses will stop... 600,000 jobs a week is a hell of a lot of jobs to be losing... We've got to stop losing them before we can start growing them again.... - Hakrjak

    Bull Market or Sucker's Rally?

    INVESTING 
    Where do you think we are today and why? What does your gut tell you? My gut feel: I have to say Sucker's Rally... An economy can simply not continue to lose this many jobs each week, and contract in size -- but sustain a bull market rally. The bottom has got to fall out of this thing...

    Sounds good! Wish I could find something like that local here... All my local bankers are royal a-holes, it seems... haha I have talked to several of them, and they all told me to basically go F myself. That's why I'm feeling so awesome about doing this next deal with cash, and not taking...

    News: Credit Card Reform nears passage

    If they were bad business practices, then the market should have been allowed to handle those companies future. If half the banks are screwing their customer, then the customers move their accounts over to banks tha treat their customers better -- and deservedly so. When the government has...

    News: Credit Card Reform nears passage

    Credit card reform legislation nears passage Call me crazy, but last time the government tried to "help" us with our credit cards, they passed a new restriction that raised all of our monthly payments hugely overnight. (This was done with the warm fuzzy message of, "Let's help Americans get...

    How many properties have you sold/bought this year?

    REAL ESTATE 
    I'm in the same boat as JScott... If I had more money to buy more properties, I could make a LOT more money flipping right now. Everything seems to sell in a month or 2 at full price, and everything else in the price ranges I work in is absolute JUNK compared to the homes that I offer. It's...

    Good idea.... Yeh, something low investment to start up could be great. I could buy a use pickup truck for $5k probably, and load it up with a lawn mower, edger, leaf blower, etc -- And have income from it almost immediately. Cheers, -Carl

    I only wish I had more work for them to do! I'd start a landscaping company or flooring company or something like that, but I'm not sure we'd be able to be a success in this down economy. Cheers, - Hakrjak

    There are a million other people trying this on Ebay already, and Bluenile.com is killing them all anyway.... Competition is fierce... Also Diamond & Jewelry sales are way down right now because of the recession. I wouldn't even try to get into the diamond business unless I was a card...
