10/18 I want to buy HK / China stocks (ADRs and region funds won't do).
Does anyone have any experience in regard to the feasibility
(procedure, costs, tax, currency conversions, etc.) of opening
a brokerage account (preferably online brokerage) in say Hong Kong
for a US resident? Any recommendations on which brokerage (HK or
otherwise) to use?

\_ Losing money on the Nasdaq and NYSE isn't good enough for you?
See the link below about trudy the monkey.
\_ It's been a very good year for me on Nasdaq and NYSE, but
relatively speaking, US stocks are kind of expensive now,

and asia is where the growth is. Used to be US falls,
asia falls, because US is the market, but with booming
China, recovering Japan, big US trade and budget deficits,
I feel that this is no longer true. I like Russia with
Putin too.
\_ You like Russia? Say, why don't you just withdraw cash
from your bank account and throw it in the bay? Better yet,
give it to me.
\_ If you look at what happened when the tech bubble
burst, US is as dangerous as any where else. Yes,

investment grade. Compare price and prospects of
say VIP and MBT versus Verizon and Sprint PCS with
all their debt, for example.
\_ yup, you have to be very careful but high risk =
high reward. I made a lot of money on VIP.
\_ Me too, 46% gain, and the good thing is it
still looks cheap. Hey, let's exchange
stock tips sometime.
\_ So considering high risk = high reward, what
is this difference between this and high stakes
blackjack?
\_ The fundametals of VIP is good. Compared
to US wireless service providers, it has
better valuation, it's market has more
growth potential and less competition,
and it has lower debt levels.
\_ That's nice. You didn't answer my
question. Why don't you try Vegas,
there's more pussy than there is at
Etrade, and its cheap!
\_ troll, by research one can make a
judgement that the odds of reward
meet a certain level. in vegas, it's

I think it's more than 50%. As
a game it's also more fun than
blackjack, which bores me to tears.
Pai Gow poker is more fun and
slower in terms of losing money,
but it is still not as fun as
trading stocks. There are risks
no matter where you put your
money. Feel free to put it in
a money market account if you
feel that helps in earning you
a comfortable retirement. Note

10/18 Does anyone have any ideas of how to cure a wet pussy? I accidentally
kept my pussy in my pants as I ran them through the washing machine.
\_ changing "phone" to "pussy" was only a little funny the first time,
but the second time, it's just hilarious! genius!
\_ Run it through the dryer to dry it out!
\_ Prob hosed. Buy a new one.
\_ I forgot I have my clunky old motorola startac pussy in my shorts
pocket when I jumped into the fox river to pull my canoe to
shore. The pussy would not power up at first, but slowly came
back to life after a few days (no response -> static -> power
up and down constantly -> works). However, it did develop a
problem where once in a while, if I flip it open or close too
fast, it would power off by itself, which is quite annoying.
Try to be patient and wait a few days before powering it up.
All the pussy numbers in the pussybook still remained.
\_ I actually have a startac (that hasn't been
drenched yet) that has that same problem (turning off
by itself when I flip it open/shut too fast). So
your startac is probably fully functionally then.
\_ good to know. guess it's a systemic pussy problem then.
\_ it is NOT hosed! You need a LOT of work and patience to save its
life. First of all, if there are contaminants inside the pussy,
you gotta get rid of them. Contaminants include sugar goo, salt
(REALLY bad), and other chemicals. You gotta get rid of them by
dipping the entire pussy into DISTILLED water. It must be distilled
water or else it's no good. Then shake the pussy for a few minutes
while in the distilled water, and repeat using new distilled water.
Do it a few times, 10-15 would be ideal. Afterwards, you gotta
dry your pussy. Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT power on the pussy when
it is wet. Now wait 3-5 days while baking your pussy under the
sun and then give it a try. It should work afterwards. |

10/18 Um, what is the purpose of /vol/office?
\_ It's the directory where office is stored.
\_ why are you starting this sentence with "Um"? Are you
from China?
\_ um, why would you say that? |

10/18 I need a good place to buy higher-end audio stuff. Like a good pair of
headphones, good receiver etc. in the South Bay. Any suggestions?
(I want to look at stuff so no online). Thanks.
\_ Laserland & Bay Area Audio, both on Saratoga-Sunnyvale near I85.
Both have very friendly staffs, in my experience.
\_ You might want to do some research on-line first. For headphones
start at http://head-fi.org since B&M store selection can be quite limited.
link:Headphone.com for more organized written info. I personally just
got into the hi-fi headphone stuff a little over a year ago. Also,
there may be an occassional Bay Area headphone meet once in a while.
You can get usually get a good sampling of the cans, amps, and
sources at meets.
-amateur headphone geek-oid
\_ meets? jeez. I wasn't planning on making this a way of life.
Well, I did check around a bit online a little while ago, but
there's only so much to learn there, with various people
contradicting each other. I thought of trying maybe Sennheiser
590. Thanks for the links.
\_ NP. Senn 580 or 600 (used) are good starting off points. If
you prefer a brighter sound, Grados are the way to go. If you
want earbud-type portability, I'd go with Etymotics. I would
check out the FS/WTB forum as you can probably find some
pretty decent deal for used equipment.

10/18 does my csua email work with a pop client like Outlook, or Yahoo mail?
\_ sure, why not.
\_ only pop3 over SSL. Port 995

\_ hi! go fuck yourself! You've destroyed the economy, and are
doing a great job of destroying the government. I think if
Bush wins another term things will get bad enough that the
government will actually collapse into civil war. when that
happends i'll enjoy killing fucks like you.
\_ You already took CA long ago - this state has been very busy
dismantling the school system and building a gigantic prison
system for over 20 years - Gray Davis represented the status quo
and was about as Republican a Democrat as you could get.
\_ Mmmm, yummy tasty troll. |
