to anyone who comes on a thread, bashes a particular individual or group, alleges he's smarter/richer/better-looking than that individual or group, and then feels compelled to overwork his keyboard explaining what he already said. did i say all that ? hmmm... your 'assumptions' as to what i may post are your problem... not mine... and certainly you are free to do so... as is the right of every freaking weirdo to execute his or her violin symphony on the internet and make himself or herself a complete fool in the process by posting rubbish and then pretend he is playing violins, oboes, flutes... or... with himself -roflol for example this one... Message 20185987 LOL then expressing the idiocy of... A psychology grad student could do a thesis on this internet treatment. well... once again you come through with doofus remarks... "a psychology" student... anyone who sees himself as a "student" by saying that he studies psychology, is most definitively NOT a bright person... since who needs psychologists, or worse, psychiatrists... obviously you seem to be in the camp that thinks such people can contribute anything to society (aside from being nuts, and dealers of drugs -psychiatrists- of course) only drug addicts who have little discipline or weak minded people could possibly look up to such bozos as guidance -or you as 'reference' audience so play on... keep making a complete fool of yourself... i am most definitively impressed. do you play dumb or dumber when you are violining away ? LOL

Interesting article re: real estate investing creonline.com Excerpt: Mistake #1: Stock market mentality You'd think after losing $7 trillion in the stock market, people would have learned! Nope, they are making the same mistake, which is assuming that what happened yesterday will happen tommorrow. Nine of ten new investors I meet say they are interested in real estate because they saw someone else make money from the rapid appreciation of the market over the last few years. But, buying real estate solely for short-term appreciation is often a big gamble! If you buy real estate to hold for fifteen years or more, the chances are that you will come out on top. If you buy a property and flip it in within a year, you'll probably do fine, too. And, despite the risk, many people can intelligently time the "boom" of a local market (or subdivision within a market) and make a profit. But, if you buy a rental property for full-market price with break even or negative cash flow, you'd better have a backup plan if the market doesn't keep going up. Investing is a lot like surfing; if you don't know how to ride the wave, you will drown!
