Anyhow, make sure you sell your stocks in September because there's going to be a "correction" in October!

Of course, if everyone believes him and sells in September, that means there will be a correction in September. But if we all know that...

"We can go up quite a lot more," Griffiths told CNBC on Monday referring to major global benchmarks. However, "all of my work suggests the risk of a correction is in the second half of this year and if I had to name the month I'd say October," he added.

This really is about as credible as that crazy woman Bill Murray has on his talkshow in Ghostbusters II.

That's called a 'soft eye'. That horse is interested in what the photographer is doing, hence his ears are pricked forward. His upper lip is pooking out a bit, which means someone is feeding him treats off camera and he's itching for another one. That horse is probably having a great time because some of them do like being washed. Judging by the appearance of the rest of the horse, it's groomed very often.That's a saint of a horse to put up with whatever that contraption is in the first place though. I'd hazard a guess that it's for helping their tendons after a race.

I've never needed a bird lawyer. Thankfully the American College of Equine Attorneys has me covered for horse law. In fact I think I may try to win a scholarship to their conference in Lexington KY by writing out an essay:

quote:

Sally Buyer, an enthusiastic amateur western pleasure rider, who had achieved national recognition in horse showing, decided to buy for training, showing, and eventual resale, a young quarter horse colt that would have value as a stallion.

She bought a horse from Jimmy Seller, a local horse dealer who mostly sold prospects for quarter horse racing. The bill of sale listed the sale as being "as is." Jimmy Seller, in talking up the horse, told Sally that he was a "fine prospect for showing" and would make a "great horse." The horse was vetted by a vet known to Jimmy Seller. The veterinarian Doc Smith noticed that the horse, when taken out of the stall, seemed a little stiff in his back legs, but he quickly warmed up and there was no further issues during the exam. The vet noted the stiffness on the pre-purchase but had no other comment and did no other testing.

Three weeks after the sale, the horse came down with a severe case of "stringhalt" which made the horse worthless for either showing or breeding. This neurological malady causes a horse to goose step with his hind legs very strongly so that the hooves hit the horse's belly. As a result of this malady, Sally attempted to return the horse. Jimmy Seller refused. Sally reckoned that the veterinarian Doc Smith should have known that the horse had a neurological malady and sued both Jimmy and the veterinarian.

Discuss all claims and the likelihood of success for each.

Are you telling me that horse is trying to guilt someone into giving it another piece of food or what? This further supports my theory that a horse is just an overgrown variety of rabbit.

How Much in Your Emergency Fund and Is it Used?

quote:

Several months ago, I had to come up with $1.3 million in cash after my wife insisted we buy a specific house.

I had $160k available on hand (No joke), and the rest I got from friends and a private loan. I needed a private loan because our DTI ratios wouldn't support conventional financing.

Other emergencies have included sending $7,500 to property manager while on vacation in Thailand to repair roof damage caused by a falling tree.

The last real emergency was unexpected job loss back in 2000. I was barely out of school and hadn't worked enough to build up adequate savings. Back then my monthly burn rate was only around $1250, but it was super scary. Subsequent job losses have been anticipated or welcomed, and didn't constitute emergencies.

This feels like BWM to me... a $1,300,000 emergency house purchase because of his wife needing a specific house. I wonder how his conversations with his friends went?

"Hey man, my wife is totally into this sweet house, but I can't afford it."
"That's a shame, maybe you should keep looking."
"Nah, we HAVE to buy it. Can I borrow a hundred grand?"

I've found it's more of a "millennials don't carry enough small bills to split the bill properly" problem. I've had a lot of fun "can anyone make change for a $20 in mostly $1?" problems.

I thought retention bonuses were due out on Valentine's Day? When are you conducting anual reviews that they are coming out this late?

Also, you should remind the kids that they are an expense line and not a revenue generating department, so they should be happy for whatever meager bonus pool gets kicked thier way.

Pretty common in the "Financial Independence/Retire Early" (FIRE) community. I've got a friend that is part of that community that's a former techie. He gets so pissed when he hears people refer to their expenses as "burn rate". I think it may be a side effect of a lot of the FIRE people before former techies. :downswords:
