    I read about that the other day. Sure as hell got WFC's attention when state police showed up to take inventory.

  3. This is amusing for those of you who use etrade to broker any retirement accounts.

    Etrade has established a "community" portal (which I consider to be tantamount to the old Yahoo! message boards cesspool that people used to pump and dump equities during the dot.com boom).

    It is quite an amusing time-waster. You can see some generally useless stuff like mostly widely held securities by etrade users, most actively traded by etrade users, etc.

    More amusingly, you can read buy/sell/hold recommendations by etrade users and even small editorials (all of which, admittedly, will be of similar accuracy to sell-side research sans industry parlance and general pretense of the typical sell-side charlatan).

    Let me cherry pick some of these for you:
    1. UTRM about to explode!!!!
    2. penny stocks
    3. Below 1$ Stocks
    4. IFXY: Buy and HOLD!
    5. WDRP, penny stock
    6. KNKT: THE NEXT APPLE IN CHINA AND INDIA

    Yep, these people are swinging for the fences... with a hollow glass bat.

    What is it with Johnny and his penny stocks? Last year, a friend of mine who knows nothing about equities, decided to open an etrade account and lose all of his principle betting on two pink-sheet sub-pennies, against my repeated advice.

    He lost enough that I couldn't even muster an "I told you so."

  6. AR, thanks for wrap, but i really do not want to deal with reality right now! (just ironing..)

    UFB on the vampire story.. wow.. he had implants in his mouth for sure.. but for the most part, rather well spoken. and i am thrilled he wasn't bullied into that $1M policy.. WFC should have been thrilled he was paying his mtg!

    For all you fisherman, foto of mako biting marlin's tail..

  7. True Blood-

    Love that show- and Spartacus- had doubts on the prequel but it has been pretty damn good . . .

    re the dude in the video- guess it takes a real blood sucker to take on a bank-

    I would have loved to see some blood on his fangs and chin . . .that would have been surreal. I am surprised the interviewer kept it together- I would have bust out laughing

  12. I dont know anything about coins, but I could see myself getting into it. Never been exposed to it any place but here to be honest.

    Expensive hobby tho... (says dude with tons of fishing and duckhunting gear plus trading addiction.)

    I always found it interesting that Armstrong got his start with coins, first thing he ever traded, and then went to gold coins/bullion, and then onto everything else.

  13. My mom has a jar of old silver dimes and stuff, but I'm pretty sure nothing that old.

  14. Dude, like if you buy a stock for 10 cents, it only needs to go up 10 cents for you to double your money!!

    What is so hard for you to understand. This is all about ROI.

    If GOOG goes up 10 cents, you make, like, nothing.

  15. A year ago, all CV ever heard was "chuckles & murmurs" when CV brought up the COIN (pronounced "KWAN") subject...

    I guess most are on board now... :-)

    So I better start moving my legions to the "tilapia" angle now... ROR

    Oscar Post will be up sometime today... Still working on it... Had a "failed launch" earlier (so I hope nobody saw)...

    State and local budget cuts are slowing US economy

    ...It appears these budget cuts scheduled for this year will have an even greater effect than the cuts of 2010. Interesting summary article.

    ..beautiful day. Mountains for the rest of it.
