Bet a stock forum would fly if we called it The Pink Sheets. :rolleyes:

Perfect! Double or triple entendre. Kudos.

Personally I prefer doing it under as opposed to over the counter, but that's just me.

 

Also, the reference to sheets reminds me that when you are in a Chinese restaurant and are reading your fortune always add the phrase "between the sheets" at the end? It not only fits every time, but always seems to enhance your fortune exponentially.

The Missouri Compromise, however, was a disaster, because it just postponed the problem of how to deal with a country in which slavery was legal in half the states and illegal in the other half. Not that I think a civil war is likely to erupt here between the Sports Forum supporters and the Business/Market Forum supporters, but it's not an encouraging analogy.

 

What about the 1790 compromise?

 

Moving the capital city to a Southern city and the Federal Government taking the war debt of all the 13 colonies?

Plenty of compromises, like the one you cite, were necessary to create this nation, and many compromises are sensible, practical ways to get things done. The Missouri Compromise, like the Kansas-Nebraska Act, was a temporary expedient to prevent facing a basic moral problem in the functioning of the nation, which is why I wouldn't want to compare the Sports/Market Forums solution to the Missouri Compromise.

Wouldn't the perfect name be Capitalist Tools? :D

 

Well, maybe not. Forbes magazine would sue Daddy.

Hello Lawyers -

 

I am in need of some assistance in regards to setting up a Delaware LLC as well as some help with Trademark & Copyrights.

 

If you happen to be knowledgable in this field, I would love your help or a point on the right direction to someone who can help me. I am open to a barter arrangement, time for time, if I am the type of companion that might interest you.

 

Thanks for any input!

 

Happy New Year! - Alec

 

I guess you're on the YES column!

 

Hopefully someone on here will help you, good luck!

 

On what, jimboi? Sports, finances, sex or all three? Bunch of dumb people here, I guess.

 

I hope that was a joke, otherwise we'll disagree for the first time in many weeks, many escorts are smart, knowledgeable and tech savvy.

C'mon it was just a joke...

Hi Marylander et al:

 

Respectfully, I say no. I like the idea of a forum specifically for those interested in talking about escorts, m2m, and sharing adult experiences and pics. Many times I see that the forum and the various threads get off those subjects. I know there are forums for literally every interest. I vote - let's keep to the sexy subjects.

 

Happy new year everyone

Like others on here, try other topics and see if there's interest....sports, business, whatever. But in no way would I ever take any stock advice from here. Sorry to be so emphatic about this but everyone should be cautious about financial advice from any... not just this one, any.... anonymous forum.

 

Here's some advice: unless you have a lot to invest in the market, do not buy individual stocks, etc. Invest in mutual funds, preferably low-cost indexed funds. (This is somewhat redundant; indexed funds are by their nature low-cost.)

 

Learn and apply modern portfolio investment theory. I offered a quick primer on it awhile ago in response to a question about IRA rollovers, but I'm too lazy to hunt it down.

Hey girl, I knew that you were smart! Plus, since I totally agree here's the link to the thread with your suggestions!

Being self employed with Qualified Plans for myself and staff it was often a challenge to get thing totally right, as I decided where to invest as well. I began doing so since 1977 with an old Profit Sharing Plan. Eventually a Money Purchase Plan was added. That meant submitting two Form 5500's to the IRS. Many accountants did not know how to fill the damned form out at the time so I learned how and did it myself. It's always best to be in charge of your own destiny and know why and how your money is allocated. It's easier to do it now with SEP IRA's, 401k's etc.

 

The challenge now is to decide how to manage it now that I'm retired.

Rollover? :D Direct deposit? :p

Well the last time I was at the NYBC I met a guy who showed me how to make a nifty homemade flogger. It can be made with simple items purchased at Home Depot, Target, Walmart, etc. (Also Jo-Ann Fabrics, but one goes there only as a last resort and incognito unless there is a hot store manager. Oh the embarressment of waiting in line at the cutting board!) So if all the investments in the retirement portfolio become worthless I can potentially have a nifty little side business to help supplement any social security. It's good to always have a backup plan just in case... One never knows what the future has in store.

Absolutely correct: low cost index funds. Very few stock pickets beat the index funds over time.

 

If you have some "extra" cash, the Dividend Aristocrats with dividend reinvestment plans are the stocks to pick and let them build over time. You can even buy a "basket" of them like an index fund if you do not want to pick individual stocks.

(Look at the 3,5 and 10 year returns; while the past is not a guarantee of the future, it does give an idea of long range future performance; remember, while the short term is risky, the long term is what you should be looking at.)

Heck yeah! Forums like this are great places to pick up tips on what securities to short. :p

How to Use Forum Stock Tips :cool:

 

In the winter of 1928, goes the legend, Joseph Kennedy, the famous American businessman, stopped by a shoeshine stand on the way to his posh Wall Street office. The shoeshine boy worked up a sweat trying to earn a tip, but the humorous Kennedy was going to offer the boy a tip of a different kind.

 

When the boy swiped the rag across the rich gentleman's shoes for the last time and looked up at him from the dirty sidewalk, Kennedy said: "You've done a fine job, my boy. So, here's a tip for you: Stay in school." And he smiled and chuckled as he walked away pulling up his nubuck leather gloves, walking cane under his armpit, very pleased by the joke.

 

But the boy was not of the timid kind. "Oh yeah," he yelled back at Kennedy, "well, I got a tip for you too: buy Hindenburg!" Intrigued, Kennedy turned around and walked back. "What did you say?" – "Buy Hindenburg, they are a fine company," said the boy. "How do you know that?" –- "A guy before you said he was gonna buy a bunch of their stocks, that's how." – "I see," said Kennedy. "That's a fine tip. I suppose, I was a little harsh on you earlier," he said, pulling off a glove and reaching in his side pocket for some change. "Here, you've earned it."

 

Little did Kennedy know that the man whose shoes the clever boy polished before him was not a stockbroker with a hot tip. He was a naval engineer from a base in New Jersey, who, flattered by the kid's attention to his golden-button uniform, told him that for Thanksgiving the navy would float a huge zeppelin in the sky called Hindenburg – but made the boy promise that he would never, never ever get close to it because of the dangerous gas they used to make it fly.

 

Little did the boy know that Kennedy, a cunning investor, thought to himself: "You know it's time to sell when shoeshine boys give you stock tips. This bull market is over."

Regarding from whom to get your investment advice, I'm no great shakes, but I have always trusted my own instincts and I always included index funds from Vanguard for all the obvious reasons.

 

In any event, it is common knowledge here I was a general dentist. Over the years I had a few patients who where stock brokers and one actually managed a noteworthy hedge fund. One day the fund manager was sitting in my chair and given the fact that hedge funds are noted not only for risk taking, but also for using all sorts of sophisticated techniques to manage the risk, I jokingly asked him for some tactical investment advice. Before he could answer I then stated that perhaps I should look elsewhere as I was not sure that I would trust the advice coming from someone who was just about willingly to have a hole drilled in his head. As I said that I positioned the chair. He laughed. I said, "Open please!"

 

Is there not a study where randomly picking stocks by throwing darts did just as well as many a fund manager?!?! :confused: And we're there not monkeys throwing the darts?!?! o_O Or were they shoeshine boys! ;)

 

Incidentally this same fund manager was approached by a certain Bernie Madoff and he was smart enough not to get involved in any way.

 

PS: I think we just started an investment forum! :eek:

Excellent!!!!. No wonder you have some many well-deserved fans on this site, Adam.

Ditto! :D

 

Plus he seems to know just about anything that's out there and that includes quite a bit about the papacy in the 3rd Century from what I am told! (I get around! Not much, but enough!)

I like the idea that there are many different fora here, because I have enjoyed discussing a lot more than just just escort-related topics on this site; if it were only about escorts/sex, I wouldn't have stuck around for sixteen years. However, the splintering into separate strictly demarcated fora means that many people never venture beyond their special interests, so they miss out on subjects from which they could have learned something, and to which they could have contributed something. I try to get around that by always clicking on "New Posts," so I get a potpourri from every forum and not just the ones in which I think I have a special interest. To some extent, the "Lounge" has always been the catch-all forum for those topics that don't have their own forum, such as business and sports, and I'm not sure that separate fora for them are justified by the number of posts they would generate. But I have no objection if Daddy wants to add them, though in the past he has been reluctant to proliferate fora, because it creates new duties for the moderators, who don't get the recognition they deserve as it is.
