9/23    hey bought GS @ 100 guy.  Mr. Buffett is buying preferreds.  Time to
        sell before everyone realizes that preferreds are dilutative.
        (Good job.)
        \_ You know, I might just do that. I was buying an IB, not a bank.
           \_ Should have sold at $135.
              \_ It is trading at $135 in afterhours, you know.
              \_ It is trading at $135 in afterhours, you know. I'll call
                 my broker and dump it.
                 \_ I didn't know, but sounds like a good time to get out.
                    You can always buy back in if you feel this is a
                    long-term hold, but if you just wanted a trade I'd
                    bail with the 35% gain.

1/16    Fred Wilson says you should focus on the cash value of your
        options, not the percentages:

        \_ Or at least, so says a VC trying increase his profit margin...
        \_ A VC wants to keep as much of the stock for themselves (and give
           as little to employees as possible).  That maximizes their return.

10/24  If I trade my 401K stock on a quarterly basis (reshuffle/reallocate),
       are the gains considered capital gains?  How much is taxed on 401K gains?
       \_ You don't pay taxes on your 401k until you withdraw it.
          \_ Plus you can re-invest your gains again and again without being
             taxed first.  E.g. if you invest $1000 and gain $100, you can
             re-invest the whole $1100, without being taxed on the $100 first,

6/27    What are your favorite metal trading platform? Is Kitco any good?
        I heard that Kitco doesn't report to IRS whereas Etrade
        automatically sends info to IRS. I'm wondering what I should use.
        \_ I trade tapes on Ebay.
        \_ I buy the physical stuff from a dealer in Chinatown who does not
           even take my name, just my money.

2/8     Hey, are Day and Week trader guys still around?  Just curious how it's
        going.  I was also thinking of doing some largely buy-and-hold
        investing, can anyone recommend an online broker?  I was thinking of
        Fidelity because I have a 401k there, but I don't need anything fancy.
        \_ market hasn't been volatile enough. I've made a few thousand
           this year but I really miss the Bush era.

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.
        \_ Local credit union.
        \_ I recommend charlesSchwab
