Haa haa. Nice.

http://biz.yahoo.com/usat/050816/13048929.html I thought this article was interesting.

Interesting that you assume so much. You know nohting about me other than what is in this post. Funny that Chefbone pointed out that I should be a soldier. That is actually exactly what I wanted to do back in the day. However, in life shit happens. For me it was blowing out my knee -...

27 right now - probably an old man to a lot of people here lol.

So the last few days I've been thinking about what I really do with my life. Sadly, it's summed up pretty simply: 1) Work for the man 2) Go to the gym 3) Sleep 4) Every once in a while drink too much It's got me pretty bummed/pissed off when I step back and look at the big picture. I don't do...

I don't even know how it works. I just see some people with a whole bunch of green shit next to them, usually the chicks with thier asses in the avatar. Which seems like a great thing to me.

Yes the Fed has little DIRECT effect on very few things. Most importantly the Fed Funds Rate and the money supply. There is a reason that Greenspan has been called the most powerfull man in America, and it's not because his power ends at raising the Fed Funds rate. Changes made by the Fed have...

Well put.

It won't be hard for you to tell when you are ready to come back. I've broken both collarbones, and for me it took about 2-3 months each time before I could really bench again without feeling discomfort. My right collarbone actually snapped completely in half, and healed up all fucked up like a...

Yup - pullups all the way. Even if you can't do very many. One of the few good things that I took from Arnold's Encyclopedia was to pick a total target number of pullups, and do as many sets as you need to do to hit that number. Your lats will thank you.

For most families this is true - real estate is probably the largest investment they will ever make. But the recent rise in the real estate market has brought in serious cash from serious investors. If you think that people/investment firms with big time money to throw around are going to ignore...

That's the general idea. But the problem is that market price already reflects future expectations (which is why internet companies that had never posted a cent of profit were trading at sky-high share prices before the tech bubble burst). The real money comes from outguessing the market - and...

Yup - this is what I've been telling the people I know for a long time now. Unfortunately those people don't want to listen to the guy with the econ degree. So Cal is gonna get hammered. More because of the amount of families and investors here that have purchased multiple homes, getting in on...

Rates do not directly effect prices. However, under current economic understanding, raising the prime rate should lower demand for housing, thus LOWERING home prices. This is what Greenspan has been trying to accomplish for a few years now. Raise the fed funds rate, driving up the cost...

Yeah so - I go to take the weekend real light, cardio and abs only. End up getting sick the whole weekend and still feel like shit as of today. Haven't lifted since Thursday of last week. Sucks especially because I'm VERY rarely ill. Guess my body knew what was coming. I'm thinking of taking...
