They sell these that are pink and yellow and they also have these that are flesh tone.

:laugh:

I prefer to go with others, but I wouldn't hesitate to go by myself. Like to tonight I went to SF alone and met some guys I went to highschool with, an exgirlfriend, and a couple of old female friends, and had a great time. It's not a big deal to go alone.

I use Howard Leight ear plugs. The ones made out of foam. I don't know if there are better ones out there, but those work fine for me. You should get a noise reduction level of about 30 decibels, that's typically the best. I buy mine at stores like Duane Reade.

9:00AM was waaaaaay too early to leave. I got there at 8:00AM myself. I didn't see you. I did meet glowdancer for all of 4.5 seconds.

Smirnoff Ice? I can bring a few.

Not with you. :laugh: Just kidding Tina, I'll be around, you'll have no trouble finding me. . . . It might be kind of cold to wear the trademark Bandeau top.

Hey you, what's up? How did finals at Fordham go?

I will be there 5ish or 6ish.

I'd rather not have to YELL in my date's ear to get to know her. If I did go to a club on a first date it would be after I had gone somewhere else with her--some place quieter; otherwise no, I wouldn't go to a club on a first date, but that's just me.

Vinyl is 18 and over that night.

I think I've seen you at my gym sometime within the past few months. Can't pinpoint the specific time or day. It was either you or you have an evil twin walking around manhattan.

I didn't expect this to turn into the finance forum, but that's okay. As stated, my guess was an educated guess based upon what I see at work. You're right, it's virtually impossible to "beat" or "time" the market over the long term, but there are points in time when it's wiser to jump into the market. People who bought after the '87 crash made a killing if they held on for a few years. People who bought tech stocks at the beginning of 2000 lost their shirts if they held on through the end of the year. Sure the market is devalued because of people taking capital losses for tax reasons, but it's more than that; we're still in a recession. When it picks up, people who bought now will have picked up great bargains. Tech stocks will probably never reach the levels they reached before, but certain blue chips and many small cap stocks will outperform the market in the not too distant future. Again this is an educated guess. I'm not claiming to be Miss Cleo. As for bond, yes, it's good to have some bonds in your portfolio (preferably in the form of a bond mutual fund), and yes, bonds have outperformed stocks this year, but with interest rates being set so low, money is moving out of bonds. Go to fidelity and check the three month performance of many of the bond funds out there now--many show diminishing returns and some ven negative returns. I don't think bonds can outperform stocks with interest rates so low. I just base that opinion of my experience in investing for myself and my former experience as a broker/trader. Finally, as for IPO's, yeah fine, Prudential did well, but check out the number of IPOs in general compared to last years, and check out the performance of smaller companies that have gone public this year--their performances are not very impressive.

hehe, as some would say, sleep is waste. I'm off to work soon, right after I email this paper. If you're gonna go out tonight, you might wanna catch a power nap. As for me, I'm gonna collapse when I get home--11 hours of sleep in the past 4 days. And good luck Weyes. :blown:

haha. hey I'm on the east coast. It's too late for me to go to sleep so why bother. You'll make it through the night. Sun should be rising there in about 4 hours.

absolutely. agree 100%. buy buy buy!!!!!

cool. well thanks for hollering back at this hour. I'm gonna finish this paper. L8rz

hey you know ur shit. are u in finance?

You're a sadist. :laugh:

just did it as a goof.

haha. that's me, long time ago.

I'd say 2nd quarter of next year. It's picked up a little because of low interest rates, but not like the boom years like 1998. It's gonna be a slow recovery. But stocks are cheap right now. IMO buy, but that's just me.

nope I'm in law. But I'm in the corporate financing area. So that's how I know how dead it is. We know when something's going down before the public so we have a sense of what direction the conomy is heading. Still pretty dead. No upside in the near future.
