10/6    Financial advice from our good 'ol Ben Stein:
        http://finance.yahoo.com/expert/article/yourlife/112984
        \_ Finally a reason to agree with Ben Stein, at least mostly.
           \_ A broken clock is right twice a day.  I'm sure Stein supported
              most of the things he's now decrying.  -tom

                 so on finance segments

        Only 28% of millionaires consider themselves wealthy. So it is
        not just my wife!
        \_ People have been using the term "millionaire" as a synonym for
           "rich" for a very long time.  But there's this little thing called
           inflation.  Having a million dollars in 1900 is roughly equivalent

7[31    Suppose you have a few hundred thousand dollars in the bank earning
        minimum interest rate and you're not sure whether you're going to
        buy a house in 1-5 years. Should one put that money in a more
        risky place like Vanguard ETFs and index funds, given that the
        horizon is only 1-5 years?

5/9     I'm stock newbie. Let's say  I made $1000 in Jan 2012 and then
        lost  $1000 in Feb 2012, does that mean I'm not liable to pay
        any tax given that I made $0?
        \_ Yes.
        \_ Are both long term gains/both short term gains? And I assume you

1/25    Is there a site that tells you the % of people shorting
        on a particular stock? I'm trying to see if I can gauge
        "confidence level", that sort of thing.
        \_ http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/intc/short-interest
           I'm not sure how to read this, I'm guessing the higher
           "days to cover" the more short activities there are?

1/16    Fred Wilson says you should focus on the cash value of your
        options, not the percentages:
        http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2010/11/employee-equity-how-much.html
        \_ 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.

Print this Story Excellent (1376 Ratings) 4058862/5 Posted on Monday, October 6, 2008, 12:00AM 1) Have a fiscal policy that creates immense deficits in good times and bad, burdening America's posterity with staggering burdens of repaying the debt. If one of those lawyers gets particularly aggressive in protecting stockholders, put him in prison. Report Abuse + Overall: 5/5 All of you need to stop worrying about if it's the Republician or Democrats, congress or the president fault. They ALL have passed policies and legislation for years that was based on greed and not in the best interests of Americians. If you vote for anyone in office right now, you are as much to blame for this as they are. Congress has a 10% approval rating, but the same folks will be back after the November elections. MaCain=Bush, your a fool if you think anything will differ. OBama will likely have new policies, but they will suck just as much. Report Abuse + Overall: 5/5 Would like to hear more from Ben Stein. Ben - thank you - now get this to Tom Brokaw, McCain and Obama before tonights debate - for their comments! Report Abuse + Overall: 1/5 You forgot to mention a Yahoo columnist who exhorts people to BUY, BUY, BUY for months going into one of the biggest economic crises -- at every step of the falling stock market.
