Cordoncordon why don't you just shut the **** up and stop trying to scam the good but often clueless people of this board. How's SEGI doing? It was a sure thing in December, remember? You knew all the guys that held the ENTIRE float and some shorts were going to be squeezed to infinity...

As JT said it depends on what you want to do. For many careers, it's not really a choice - nobody will hire you to gain work experience until you have a degree.

Same thing was true for Real Estate agents prior to a few years ago (and sadly still applies in Canada - our housing hasn't burst yet).

I was just thinking about this, because it seems financials have not really reacted too much. Wikileaks has promised a very significant and damaging leak early in 2011 against 'a very large US bank that is operating today'. Given their track record, I think we can be pretty confident that...

I can't short due to Canadian legal limitations on trading within a tax free account, but I did make a small profit from CRM puts today. Would have been a massive profit had I timed it right, but I was early and overpaid for the options and lost a lot waiting for the drop. Still, seems...

I was talking about the law in general, not related to the specifics of this case. No doubt this case has more to do with shutting up Assange than anything else.

Okay, if it breaks in the act, that should just be considered a an unfortunate event. But to be honest, if a girl is willing to have sex with you but asks you to use a condom, and you say you will but then don't, that IS wrong, and should be punishable somehow. This, if I recall, carries a...

I think the two most disturbing things about this situation are: 1) The US response. **** freedom of speech and the press, it looks bad on us let's freak out! 2) That there is some terrible **** in here, and people are just shrugging it off and saying, "nothing new". For example, a...

Yes, of course it's P/E compared to growth we should be looking at. But their growth has been less than spectacular already (and revenue isn't being pushed through to earnings) and that was with almost no competition. Oh well, waiting on the sidelines for a while.

So, just wondering am I crazy, or is this thing just insane? 270 P/E ratio, > 100 Forward P/E, sketchy accounting practices, a CEO that sells literally every day, a market that's now being entered by heavyweights like Oracle and Microsoft, and it just keeps going up and up and up. Aside...

Alle Gory, the point is that microwaves just heat things up, that's all they do. You can't get cooked and not feel it - it would feel like being ****ing burned alive. As it is, I don't think people even feel any sensations of heat going through these things, which suggests the energy put...

Maybe your body/liver got tired of the abuse and is sending you a message to cut that **** out. Iqqi, hard to say exactly why it changed, but to be fair 3 drinks on somebody your size would get your BAC high enough that puking is not unheard of, if you drink them close together and on an...

Sounds like the start of a gambling problem. It's okay to go play once in a while if you don't mind losing the money, but you should never have expectations of walking out with winnings.

This has already be solved but I figured I'd throw mine in, maybe somebody that didn't understand the other solution can follow mine. First, it isn't worked too clearly because it says you have enough money to pay a plumber for 28 days and a carpenter for 21 days. If we take AND to mean you...

Obviously it was not little sister like when we hooked up. These things can change over time, and that's what happened here after we realized we were not romantically compatible. Little sister isnt the perfect description either but I used it to pre-empt the she's your ex/you want her talk...
