    hah no kidding. It's not just on forums. That's what most 'conversations' are about. The other guy brags nonstop and you pretend to listen.

    gtam lawyers chime in.

    on the other hand: [1] there are three stories including a '3rd party' story. Yours is just one of the 3 stories. [2] could someone think that you provoked it? Esp. he's drugged out and you took boxing? [3] could someone think that you more than just defended yourself? Also it's unclear if...

    Proposed law lets motorcycles run red lights? [w/video]

    ^ I understand that if the light cycles once without going green for you then you treat the red light as if it were a stop sign. Which is what you do whenever you run into a malfunctioning traffic light.

    small claims lawyers?

    You can do Small Claims Court (SCC) yourself if you write well and have some good business experience. I suggest you should have a lawyer friend to bounce ideas off though. This is supposed to be the peoples court and you're supposed to be able to do it without a lawyer. It's true that since...

    I think that's right. The management of the public companies are the ones scoring the big hits. The public shareholders' share of the pie is dwindling. Also bizarrely when management gets caught doing wrong, the company i.e. the shareholder (NOT the management) gets fined. So if you want...

    ^ well those talking heads are NOT CFAs/MBAs you can be sure, and there's not a shred of evidence that technical analysis works for stocks. In the whole of the CFA study materials there is maybe a paragraph on it. Try to find even one portfolio that's run with technical analysis. You can be...

    What has been a great way for financial independence is to work for the govt. A teacher or the military for example. Join the army at 18 and retire 25 years later with free education, maybe a degree, and a full INDEXED pension. Now you're 43 years old, got an INDEXED pension, great training...

    [1] about how much money you need to generate $xxx/year, a rule of thumb is that you can take 4%/annum forever, so above comments are pretty good.

    Too old to ride?

    Very serious problem with car drivers. As drivers lose range of motion their driving capability drops dangerously. You see people backing up with only the mirrors - because they can't freakin turn around. When backing up a car you have to see BOTH rear corners when you crank your head. Even...
