I can assure you that you don't have to be a member of the the 0.1% to profit in a downturn. If you can buy shares of stock and call options, you can short shares of stock and purchase puts. Of course, you'll never win much sympat

To a large extent, yes, but social media has made faking a lifestyle you don't lead even easier. Anybody with a smartphone and a desire to portray themselves in a particular light can do so pretty effectively with very limited intellig

Thanks for your feedback on the quality of the architecture. Are you suggesting that I try to come in with a starting offer of $350 and see if we can close somewhere just north of $400?

The "sagging interest rates" are a product of Fed monetary policy, and much of the fee-generating behavior you describe has been motivated in some part by the Fed's monetary policy too. But please don't let that stop you

Your response sort of demonstrates the point I made above about most people not being attracted to most people. In a career of 30 years, you found yourself working closely with a total of one woman who you were attracted to and who you th
