AAPL to $500?,
clambo said:
The title of this thread should be how soon Apple is $1000/share.
The only limit to Apple's profits is the growth of the working population of the world. Presently, I think it's about 20 million new working people per year.
It's pretty amazing. Their success is they do not make any crappy junk, Jobs would not tolerate it.
Their website is great, their stores are great, their customer service is great, their products are great, their brand is great, even their various software is great. Their ads are great also come to think of it. - On 4 Aug 2012

Another brilliant plan?,
clambo said:
First, many people who would not vote for Obama agreed with Obama on one thing: banks should not be too big to fail.
The problem was when Obama wanted to do something about the banks, Timmie Geithner stared him down and refused to do anything about the banks.
Everything else Obama has done and supported was terrible for the economy and absurd.
1. cash for clunkers.
2. give equity of GM to the unions who bankrupted it. take money from the rightful bondholders who should be the ones first in line (by law) when any biz is bankrupt.
3. solyndra, absurd green energy schemes based on junk science nonsense.
4. try to force American car companies to make cars that are small which are not profitable for them.
5. say over and over the problem is not high enough taxes, but the true problem is the welfare state spending by govt.
6. say you are not successful, "you didn't do that", that success was caused by govt, (obviously false) and that you must "spread the wealth".
7. support illegal aliens working here. The laws of supply and demand apply to LABOR you liberal dimwits. The more illegals working here the more wages are depressed.
8. formed a panel Simpson/Bowles to look at new ways to get control of the budget. Promptly ignore their suggestions forever.
9. Obama care which is new taxation on medicines, medical devices, and on everyone who has investments and high income. Brilliant.
10. ETC. - On 3 Aug 2012

A-Hole looses CFO job for being a Youtube Prick.,

leoj,
I leave it to you to be more expert on the ways of gay men. I only was friends with the guy.
We did have a good time in the literal meaning of the phrase, not as a euphemism for fucking.
We threw parties and whatnot and it was fun. I had girls over but he didn't care.
We lived just a few feet from the ocean, it was fun.
The guy was not what normal people would call "normal". That is not to say we didn't like him, he was a nice guy.
Whether or not people believe I am normal means nothing to me, since I am not marching, screaming and shouting for people to accept me as "normal" when in fact I chug cock and get myself reamed up the greaser like my roommate did. - On 3 Aug 2012

A-Hole looses CFO job for being a Youtube Prick.,
clambo said:
That guy is a schmuck. He proved it and left the proof on youtube. What a loser.
When I go to McDonald's for my coffee I must remember to berate them for cutting down rain forests or some such for their hamburgers.
The guy who runs Chic Fil A doesn't hate gays, he said the same thing most California voters said with their votes that he believes "marriage" means a man and a woman.
Personally I think marriage is an intrustion of government into your personal affairs and this is another discussion.
But the gays want to insist they are "normal" in every way and if you disagree with that, you are a "bigot" a "hater" and whatnot.
I lived with a gay guy for a few years and we had a good time, he was a nice guy.
He wasn't what anyone would call normal. Guys who are "bottoms"=act like women are not normal.
Yeah, they are either ladies="bottoms", or "tops". - On 2 Aug 2012

If you got a business you didn't build that, someone else made that happen.,
clambo said:
The profit that iwog makes from his rents may be a disgusting business model, but it is not taking property by the government which our constitution generally protects Americans from.
The rent people pay to live is an exchange. They use the dump and pay for the privilege.
Obama lying and saying that I needed "help" from various parties as a pretext to steal more of my money in the form of taxes to support his welfare state and income redistribution schemes is bullshit.
Incidentally, I called you a name since you felt free to call people here "two year olds." - On 2 Aug 2012

TAXMAGEDDON BEGINS,
clambo said:
Obamacare has many new taxes and anyone who doesn't think a new 3.8% tax on them should feel free to burn 3.8% of their income in the street every month to see how it feels.
Watching it burn up will bring it into perspective since to many "another 3.8%" is so small.
No new tax is small and no tax increase is a good plan during a depression.
This situation is a mild and protracted depression caused by the bursting of an asset fueled by credit. - On 1 Aug 2012

I was wrong! I repent! Sell your homes now! Never buy anything!,
clambo said:
Never buy anything in that hellhole full of illegal aliens.
Tomorrow 102F, Thursday 106F
The place is barely fit for a Mexican.
But I hear houses are a pretty good deal there.
Shit, for that matter, they are a very good deal in Juarez, Nuevo Laredo, and similar.
I'm sitting with my AAPL which is going to bring me so much capital gain I will buy a bay area house for cash in two years if the whim strikes.
Not ANY town either. East Bay and beyond are out of the picture.
Some guys brag that they have "positive cash flow". Wow. That's so amazing to have.
Try some capital gains on for size sometime. - On 29 Jul 2012

When do you think the next real estate downturn will occur? Why?,
clambo said:
There doesn't need to be a downturn. Things can just muddle along as they have been for a while. Nothing will change the situation.
The same forces driving up Manhattan real estate are working in the bay area=foreign buyers.
If you must struggle to make payments on a $700K+ mortgage somewhere you are taking a pretty big risk.
But, where I live for example the weather is very nice and the location is almost ideal. It's not far to drive to interesting places here and there.
What is that worth to someone? I don't know.
Is real estate here vastly overpriced? Almost, but those who buy here lately are employed in high tech so they have bay area salaries not local salaries.
Then the cops and firemen of course can afford anything.
I'm so old I can remember when neither of those occupations could make you rich. - On 29 Jul 2012

For my patrick.net fans, bought my 12th home July 24th!,
clambo said:
You only have one home. The home means that is where you live. The rest are houses, apartments, condos, or also called properties.
Why are the big fans of real estate such illiterates?
RE: Where to invest money NOW?
To answer the question one must know the situation of the person asking.
A good bet in my opinion is AAPL, other stock mutual funds, and Vanguard High Yield Corporate bond fund.
Lately I took the price of a median house in that hell hole called Phoenix and bought more shares of AAPL. The dividend will be paid after August 16 at $2.65/share.
Of course if you had the balls you would also be advised to buy in the money call LEAPS for AAPL. - On 29 Jul 2012

If you got a business you didn't build that, someone else made that happen.,
clambo said:
Scumbag dimwits like Obama and his supporters are just envious of success and people who can do it. I have frequently been around dilettantes like Obama, in addition to being around truly successful people.
The dilettantes want to diminish the success, the brains and balls of their betters. This is very common.
For example, the semi-smart guys in my prep school became lawyers. This was also because at the time jobs were scarce so many guys just went back to school after finishing college.
These lawyer types are always complaining about or dissing their betters, doctors.
As far as Obama goes, we know what he said to Joe the plumber when he was running wild "off teleprompter". He said that Joe should spread his wealth or the fruits of his labor and success.
Why should anyone share any of their money or labor by force by the government?
We are not talking about roads. They are pay as you go by gas and other taxes.
We are not talking about air travel. This is pay as you go by taxes and fees on tickets.
We are not talking about police. They are paid locally by property taxes and sales taxes.
What is Obama then talking about? He is simply trying to rationalize stealing from the successful to redistribute their money to those who have done nothing to deserve it. - On 29 Jul 2012

dunross had harrassed me enough on this site,
clambo said:
Evidently the purpose of the blog is unknown to roberto.
The purpose is eyeballs looking at it, and people commenting.
As far as roberto going on and on about his math reasoning and math "graduate work" give it a rest.
Those math guys from MIT whose shoes you cannot shine were responsible for losing tens of billions of dollars on Wall Street.
It's not math, it's common sense. If where you live 1. jobs suck 2. illegal aliens abound 3. minorities abound 4. the city is insolvent 5. houses cost 10X median salaries=house prices can not go up.
Some places have all of the attributes above, some in combination, and some none of them.
The places without such attributes never suffered much of a bubble bursting of the asset of houses in the first place.
Tenants and toilets may interest some people, others not.
Personally I like to see my net worth increase without the hassle of dealing with them, but where I live today it's so full of kooks, SSI prozac achievers and illegals I would never want to be a landlord.
If someone dislikes someone else here the solution is easy and never involves the moderators. - On 28 Jul 2012

clambo said:
Obama's inane comment being defended here by some clowns is funny, since he himself is backtracking it.
Of course the infastructure is important to succeed. And we all have paid for it in many forms of taxation.
What Obama was suggesting in that idiotic rant of a speech in front of a crowd of welfare sucking losers was that success should be taxed MORE.
This is so idiotic, stupid and wrong there is no way to defend it.
All people moving around pay for roads and bridges. All people and products flying around pay for it.
What Obama is saying is that those who may use transportation for their business success owe MORE to Uncle Sam because decades ago our interestate highway system was built, and the FAA was created, etc.
His entire premise is bullshit. We have already paid, and so have all businesses. He wants to invent a pretext to TAKE more from successful people to transfer their wealth, sweat, blood and effort to give to losers.
Obama is just appealing to the lowest denominator since he cannot sell his nonsense to anyone who has 1. a brain 2. money 3. a job 4. not lgbt, minority, dilettante. - On 27 Jul 2012

Everyone who wants to control people owning guns wants to change the subject.
The one above says that people should "prove" they can operate a gun. Really? I have some tips on operating a gun.
Load the mag, stick it in. Yank the slide or whatever it has to put one in the chamber. Point it away from yourself, fire.
Repeat.
There is no gun show loophole at least in California there isn't.
I also don't know anyone who bought a piece at a gun show anyway. - On 27 Jul 2012

Facebook Cratering . . . Because It's Worthless,
clambo said:
facebook is so worthless.
I got on it so my mother could see stuff from her grandkids.
later a few chicks wanted to "friend" me. They added friends and I thought it was harmless. Who cares if someone in Peru wants to be my friend?
Now most of the people on it as far as I can tell are 1. women 2. teenagers 3. a few guys using it as a tool to network to meet women. I have no idea how they do it or if they succeed.
The women post 1. pictures of their cats 2. political nonsense 3. brag about their kids/cars/material objects. Note: they rarely if ever post pictures of their man or of them with their man. 3. "likes" of various women: e.g. "like" Tony Robbins, "like" Michael Moore.
Facebook is such a lame website. But if you have a small biz or sell something it is free to create a profile for it on facebook.
I cannot imagine facebook making much money. - On 26 Jul 2012

Anti-Gun Control Groups Spent 17 Times As Much On Lobbying As Pro-Gun Control,
clambo said:
There are many reasons why people pay more to protect their rights.
1. Losing my rights is a motivator. The twerps who want to take them away are generally the lazy, prozac or cymbalta achievers hanging around cafes.
2. Gun owners have money in addition to guns.
3. Gun owners are organized and not scatterbrained, they can raise cash.
4. Gun owners don't care what you think about them.
5. Gun owners have prevented crimes against themselves, their families and strangers.
6. Even if you are illiterate affirmative action law school graduate you cannot mistake the clear language in the U.S. Constitution. If you don't like having a gun, do not buy one.
7. Shooting a nice gun is like sex or surfing: the first time is a bit scary, someone has to give you some pointers, and after that, it's a blast in all senses of the word.
Avoid shitty plastic guns that have huge recoil like cops carry, e.g. Glock. Avoid any gun in 40 calibre, it sucks.
Avoid those small concealable "double action only" guns like the small Ruger.
Shoot a good piece like a CZ75, or a Sig or a Browning or something full size and made of metal not plastic. You will love it.
My absolute favorite gun is the Israeli arms Jericho or "baby eagle" in 9mm. That gun looks cool as hell, shoots very well like the CZ.
Don't be afraid of them, embrace them and have fun. Then skeet shoot shotguns and you'll really be hooked.
Los Altos Gun Club is a great place to go blasting. Have fun. - On 26 Jul 2012

raisin, the pic I posted is a guy in Switzerland with his rifle. I guess you mean to say "believe me, don't believe your eyes."
The fact that almost every household in Switzerland has a military rifle and Switzerland has low crime completely disproves the notion that gun ownership causes gun violence.
However, Switzerland has a different culture than the USA. Since I have been there I can report on it.
I guess I will add midnight movies on my list of places to avoid: 1. midnight movies 2. ghettos 3. housing projects 4. oakland, LA, Newark, Detroit, parts of NYC 5. bars at night in cities 6. SF Tenderloin at night 7. Cities in Mexico with two or three exceptions. 8. States in Mexico with one or two exceptions.
