bald mountain-- only a temp situation. Saddam has no intentions on giving anyone freedom to run around the country.
jdaasoc-- agreed,, in the past 2 weeks I bought 2 Ford products. No 'employee' discount but under the X plan through the DAV. That puts it under invoice and all other incentives make it a nice time to by IMO.
mlsoft-- sadly Isreal does not send them the kind of message the US should have a year ago. That would shut Saddam up and probably make Iraq an Isralie gas station,,
T G - that is the reason for my sarcasm. What use can the avg user have for a 2+ gig processor,, except maybe for games & such,, 2 gig to hit the send key to ship a nasty-gram to the kiddies or load porn faster,, a need is required to sell 'pukers..
'sarai' -- and currently the nas follows the sox. Seems strange and may not continue when people figure out there are other profitable sectors. Then again,,,,,,, maybe world economys are based on 'puters and not on producing additional items that actually have real margins & earnings?? Although I plead 'guilty' of continually upgrading the questions must be asked "Why does the AVG user require a P-4 2 gig processor to send email or look at various sites?" , " How benificial is a P-4 on a 56K modem connection?" , Now we ask the same questions to the avg business and IMO the answer is there is little reason, other than games and a few spec apps that require such power and few see the NEED to upgrade. My guess is many have decided to use the 'puker purchase price to buy something else with much more positive impact,, a fully loaded machine is = to a decent home improvement or a portion of {hey, 0% intetrest} new vehicle, a trip to Vegas even.. Ask Gates to develope software that can show a productive use of such power and BINGO!, sales will increase. Win ME & Win 2K could run nicely on much slower processors.
Frank -- Too much 9-11 in the media. A little moderation out of respect would be nice. Looks like lotsa political butt covering on 'just in case'due to ramble from terrorists. Something positive like showing Martha in cuffs baking a file in a cake would be more productive. Then again, dropping napalm on some terrorists in the mountains would be nice footage--
No problems accessing sites anywhere--- certainly no reason to look for Apple but msn working fine.
And Solly downgraded a boat load today,, everything from ge to mas and all in between. Seeing that all are close to their low range it is not surprising,, then solly gets a new ceo today too,,lol! Maria looks esp bad this am too-- must have been a hard weekend on the old girl,,
pstuartb-- OT~~ planning on building one too-- for my grandchildren (twins) arriving in a few weeks, somewhere I saw plans for one that was assembled from panels built in the shop. If those plans are found another winter project is put on the list.
Same here Fletch. Have not seen a pop-up on SI except for one day-- & never here. I'm one of the OLD SI members-- lifetime free member.
5 yr lows make it a little closer to fair value,, eom
augieboo-- I was on the original broadcast. Was wierd seeing & hearing myself. It is getting better known & a larger audience all the time. Dave does a nice job and IMO it will get a lot of attention once it gets better known. More will believe you (the individual investor) and listen to your reasoning, than an analyst with an agenda..
Agreed-- dumped 6.x and only use 4.7.
Here is another-- did a lot of hunting & fishing there as a kid-- made a couple years in Nam seem almost like a recreational area,, VBG!
LOL! Have owned BRKA and traded BRKB for years. NEVER lost a penny on either. Seems like losing on either would be impossible... Still remember when DIS tried to unload tons cheap WB would not touch it,, As for KO &??? he is a shareholder & director ------- does not own them outright. Many issues I hold I do not agree with 100% but they will not change for me,, but they LISTEN to WB. Ya had to that BG for a great entry on GE too,,, LOL!
LOL! I KNOW Bill G lost a bit this week. His total return fund is held in grandchildren's accts,,, Not huge-- just noticeable. Still,, overall it is doing well. He does not like my Corp bonds either but they are doing just fine!
LOL! <<"He just tried to make a quick buck by hiding the truth.">> You just described Ken Lay, Fastow, Sullivan, Martha & Grub......
jdaasoc-- LOL! We are getting much deeper into the subject. The contractor should be aware of all codes and safety concerns. What you mentioned is true and different LOCAL codes may even spec metal conduit esp in commercial bldgs. Generally it should only be installed in exterior walls from basement to attic as it can be extended and tapped from those points. As in every project all codes must be followed. The suggestion was only made to give those thinking of current projects something to consider and consult their contractor about. Many ran extra phone lines in the past and when deciding to move up to cable modem found many cable company installers (mostly contract employees) were unable to to make a professional installation. This caused considerable cost or unsightly cable exposed. Pulling wire for any reason in exposed framing is easy-- just drill holes and cover, but once insulation, drywall, etc is installed mess and expense becomes considerable.
I've found all kinds of things in HVAC ducts. People have run phone lines, 14/2 wire, light duty ext cords, plastic tubing and copper tubing,,,,, it's an easy, if UNSAFE, gateway people have used and one reason for the suggestion of installing passageways during construction or remodeling by a contractor.
jdaasoc- My experience has shown during every building or remodeling project a small investment in PVC can save much labor & material throughout the life of the building. The empty tubing can be used to easily draw any type of wire for any purpose at any time. It can be especially valuable getting material to upper floors or into finished basements with drywall ceilings. Who knows,, in our lifetime even cat5 may become a 2nd choice,, or even an extra phone line or outlet is required. These terminal pipes can move any flexible material between floors or into any room with minimal disruption of drywall &/or other materials. I've even used these highways to move water from a basement to a lg walkin closet turned into a full bath on a 2nd floor and to add elec to an attic.
Joemoney-- to believe anyone is jealous of criminals... LOL! Surely you are kidding,, or stupid! Where does a feeling of SELF-worth come into the picture? Somethings have much more value than money. Yes-- both have more money than I,, not much good in their situations and the lawyers will get a great portion. How much money does one need? Money seems to be another obsession of yours. Why would I, or any one, envy them? How are they smarter than me? Please... Seek professional help from mental health professionals as you are in great need of it.
Maybe Jack thought he could share info while sharing a cell with Martha?? Luck to both and may the have lots of time to fold napkins where there are no TV cameras.
Yep,, augieboo & there probably a lot here that already belong at SI. {{Waving hand in air}}
Either way-- here or moderated. At somepoint nearly every unmoderated thread is abandonded due to an influx of noise makers once it becomes well known.
krazikid-- Not certain of % of winning issues. I try to be selective of issues and WHY they fell, determine if a bounce is probable. Then LIMIT downside, let the gains run w trailing stops. YoY gains outweigh losses. Luck! Cap
Butya gotta admit the falling knives are fun if one is cautious. I added AAI @ 3.50 recently and MNTG @ 7.53 - 7.79 Fri. No rush on either but showing green so far,,,
HHmmmm-- Elroy, then I'd need a radio talk show going on & on for years on the same subject,, or a soap on the TV,, if you look at some cnbc 'stars' they are as dramatic as soap actresses and repeat the same to hear themselves as much as possible.
LOL! Take a breath-- I suspect Fastow will be the 1st from ENE to go to jail... actually he may roll on a few others (like Lay) in order to spend a few years in his mansion. Same with Sullivan --- They may not be interested in a 25 year wedding anniversary celebration with Bubba! There are many threads to the ENE web and it will take time to get all the knots out. Always best to put mouth in gear after brain,, not the opposite & I suspect that is what the investigators and prosecutors are doing. WCON and others are so much easier. Still many (most?) of those that lost more than they can afford fall into one of 2 catagorys,, greed or should have only owned CDs.
Through PWJ also. Besides you get a full svc broker watching things when you go golfing or to the potty and the cost is very low. I spent less on brokers fees last year at PWJ than the year before aat a discounter...
Nathan-- it has been awhile,,,,,,,,,,, a LONG while. Still had to respond as even with the merge my thoughts have not changed,, still only a trader & no reason to buy for a mid or L term,,
HHMMmmm-- it certainly became quiet here... didya buy YET? AAI keeps growing. They will be posting profits,, something the big guys no longer remember how to spell... and when the big guys curb losses one may decide to suck 'em up to show less losses.. been adding here and have a little @ 5.3
Lynn,, Well, I've seen a little of the YAHOO boards and much of it is in the sewer. Granted I'm not always Mr NiceGuy-- but there are more sickos there than SI could hope to suspend. Kind of a vulgar place,,, even the handles used by some are obscene.... RB kinda sux but there seems to be more activity there on many threads. SI kept the riff-raff out by setting the fees (well some of us Riff/Raff came in early with the free forever clause) and offering a decent site. Hell, I was only suspended about 7 times,,,
BTW-- for some of us those new IBMs are good news. Cannot remember where (El will) I suggested buying IBM but I sold most around 115++ for a nice ST gain. Still holding some OLD shares like with GE,,,,, it would cost too damn much to sell those-- may have to leave them for Charity,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Now off to find a chickie named Charity.... LOL! May we see much better results tomorrow,,,
Hey NW,, Poor SI has seen most threads die so maybe the site going will not be a huge deal,,, Time for GLW & CSCO this week?
