That is Pepper, my cocker waiting for the mailman.
I'm not saying Bernanke was wrong in his approach to saving the economy, but I hang with seniors and there has been a consequence to their bottom lines. They are not all so rich that it hasn't affected them. Little things matter a lot - a trip to se…
Keep telling yourselves value is efficiently rewarded but come the revolution that racist capitalist's mansion is going to be this "left wing commie's" (populist's) home sweet home. And so goes the true nature of the beast that is mankind.
Yes bee, Your analogy is appropriate. I'm nothing if not a product of the 60s and all that SciFi of my youth. What's wrong with a little Zen? I sometimes tell people when instruments of my work come up that, yes, there is a piece of me in that there…
Perhaps youtube is the intermediary between yesterday and tomorrow.
Funny you mention virtual reality. I see virtual spaces as tools, just another play toy for the man to manipulate to his own purposes, a fertile ground for future innovation, exp…
(Once Bezos gets his drones, many a FedX and UPS driver will join the ranks of the unemployed.)
As I read your entire post, I cannot help thinking that everyone at MFO is supporting the owners of the robots through investment in the direction you …
Maybe prostitution will survive change. Is there an etf?
Radio Shack just isn't Radio Shack of yore. It long ago tugged nostalgically at my heart strings.

Love life stories.
So, my Dad says to me, he says - "Gurl, yous too ugly to get yoreself a man, so you better get rich and buy one."
The rest is history.
I am dismayed that so many who consider themselves savvy investors seem to draw the line at investing in the future of the nation by producing a workforce skilled enough to compete. I too worked and paid for school but not without a little help from…
XOM will be a very profitable business longer than anyone reading this will be alive...enjoy
Can you say the same for Chevron? I've owned Texaco which became Chevron since about '85 and have seen peaks and valleys before.
bee, I would agree that RMD would seem to be for collection of taxes. But, the fact that RMD tax payment can't be used for Roth conversion when non-RMD tax payment can leads me to think that the policy is really to encourage both tax payment and spe…
My husband takes a on-patent name brand drug. The generic in-class alternative is a drug with dangerous metabolites and requires restricted diet. No plan should be able to substitute a generic (or cheaper) alternative when the active ingredient is a…
I do say things in shortcut (cast on one arm and one finger typing with other).
But I was making a mental analogy to the Whitehouse's angst with Social Security's file and suspend:
"The administration hasn't offered much elaboration, but a White Ho…
When you guys treat physical gold as though it has a value greater than paper are you implying that ultimately there are two totally independent pricing mechanisms hidden below the price? I guess I am thinking that if paper inflates the quantity of …
So I got my "guess what old lady you will soon be 66" form love letter from the local SSA office today. Instead of inviting me in for a celebration or for a human face signup they reminded me that I can do it on line.
Now should I grab the money an…
