10/2    Bank runs in Greece!
        \_ URL?
           \_ google above.  may be just electronic, since there are no photos
              \_ The top hits are "ronpaulforums" and "usagold". Sorry, this
                 does not qualify as anything but a rumor at this point.
                 \_ try clicking the "News" link padawan
                    fyi, there were also silent bank runs on WB after WM went
                    TU, which led to WB's forced merger by FDIC
                    \_ None of the "news" links mention a bank run of any kind,
                       they all just say that Greece has guaranteed all
                       deposits. What is a "silent bank run"?
                       \_ no lines, yet significant net withdrawals
                          "after panic withdrawals by customers in Athens and
                          Thessaloniki, creating an unstoppable stampede across
                          Europe" - telegraph.co.uk
                          \_ And you believe that sensationalistic drivel?
                             Are they predicting a European wide bank run or
                             reporting on it? What is a "panic withdrawal"?
                             Are their lines outside the banks? Did any
                             banks fail? It just sounds like a slow news
                             day to me.
                             \_ yes, you are right.  i will slink home and
                                kill myself.  i am stupid.

5/16    Can anyone tell me what Greece is hoping for by rejecting austerity?
        From here it seems like the austerity is a pretty generous attempt
        to keep Greece from imploding entirely.   Are they hoping the
        Germans will put them on eternal state welfare, or what?
        Also, why would an outright default mean they must leave the Euro?
        Is it just that they won't be able to pay basic gvmt services

6/1     There is a lot of panic. Euro. Greece. Unemployment. GDP.
        VIX is up. That means one thing: BUY BUY BUY!!!
        \_ Eh, I'm not sure we're at BUY BUY BUY yet.
        \_ Eh, I'm not sure we're at BUY BUY BUY yet.  I think
           things may still go lower from here.  1280 was my target
           before that jobs report.

5/8     What was up with Greece of all things affecting the market?
        \_ I'm not sure why, but I guess a Greek collapse could screw
           up the Euro as a currency.

9/14    Does anyone have the controversial book Bell Curve? I know
        it has the political incorrect [and perhaps flawed] data that
        shows certain race have higher IQ than other race and I'm
        wondering how smart Russians are relative to white Americans
        and East Orientals. I can't seem to Google for this information.
        The only thing I got is the following:

2/21    So, European AC is 220 (2 round prongs), and my American dryer takes
        220, right?  Now, I'm pretty sure it's not a good idea to plug a
        European appliance into my dryer's power outlet, but I'm not really
        sure why.  Is it just the 50hz vs 60hz problem?
        \_ I think it would work fine, actually.
        \_ most dryer sold in USA only takes 110V, and 220 outlet will
