8/8     Is there a good way to short tech stocks besides shorting QQQ
        or shorting individual stocks?  QQQ is too general and has some
        non-tech stocks and is also overweighted by dell, intel and msoft
        which I don't particularly want to short.  Shorting individual
        stocks is too much work and has high overhead.  I see a whole
        bunch of tech stocks that are overvalued but shorting just one
        or two is too risky for me.
        \_ Options. They are cheap to buy. --dim
           \_ and easy to lose your shirt on
        \_ You could short an exchange traded fund like IIH if you can find
           one that trades over $5 still.
           \_ Why must it be over $5?

5/17    Tech stocks at all time high & Bay Area traffic and housing crisis
        is now worse than 2001. BUBBLE 2.0 BEWARE!!!
        \_ This time it is no bubble, at least not yet. Wake me up again
           when the Nasdaq hits an inflation adjusted record.
        \_ I don't know if this bubble qualifies as a tech bubble or a bubble
           at all.  Last weekend I saw hiring signs at McDonald's, Macy's and

        \_ um, ok, so what are better alternative investments?
           \_ Real Estate? Gold? Bonds? CDs?
              They all whooped stocks in the last decade.
              I believe in a balanced approach.

1/18    I own a bunch of NFLX stocks bought at several different periods
        (from high $200 all the way down to $80). I dumped a few and
        still have a few. Why the hell is Reid Hastings still making
        $500,000/year? How do I join the pending NFLX Class Action
        Lawsuit?

12/9    A public company (NASDAQ/NYSE) needs to publicly disclose
        important information right? Is there a way to find data that
        shows who owns most of the stocks, when they're dumping (to measure
        their confidence in the company), and how many people are shorting?
        \_ It has been a few years since I took a business organizations

10/24  Another stock question. If 70% of the trades out there are bot
       high frequency traded, then what is the point of those Moody ratings?
       Is that to tailer for the other human trades?

4/19    I'm thinking of getting Roth IRA. Which company is good/pleasant to
        use? Etrade? Fidelity? Scottrade?
        \_ Buy Silver.  Gold is already overvalued.  We're going to hit
           hyperinflation the likes of which even God has never seen before.
