belhaven14 That is pretty funny. I've never heard of that one. That would definitly be a confusing thing to wake up to. Thanks for the idea.

belhaven14 Those are some pretty good ideas. I think I'm going to have to use the finger nail polish one. That would be pretty funny. We have thought about doing the saran wrap prank. We have 6am workouts so that would be a perfect time to do it while everyone is half...

belhaven14 Unfortunately, he isn't the only one rewritting the Constitution. We wouldn't have nearly as much to worry about if he was the only one. America as it was founded is a thing of the past.

belhaven14 I think using the intro to a document as proof is a very weak at best. It is saying the clauses within the Constitution will provide the means to promote general wellfare. If your reasoning is correct, the government could inpose a 100% tax rate and send...

belhaven14 Well said. It isn't the Republicans, and it isn't the Democrats. It is politians who are spending the money carelessly and begging for more. Pretty soon, China will completely own us. They already have more control over our economy than I would like to think...

belhaven14 It may sound dumb, but I would suggest Investing for Dummies. It tells you a little about everything you need to know. It has very general stuff for someone like yourself who doesn't have much experience. But it also gets into some more technical stuff for...

belhaven14 There are several variations so you can change it to how you like it. What we would do is pick two sides of a field or area with boundries. Its best if there are trees or a building with hiding spaces around. Kids would be split into two teams. Each team has...

belhaven14 Please don't think I am annoyed. Investing knowledge is great for everyone to know. In one of my investing classes, we studied a parking lot attendant who lived in a big city. I think it was Baltimore, but I'm not sure. He never earned over $8 an hour in his...

There is now plenty of evidence to suggest many health problems are linked to how big a persons waistline is. Sodas obviously can pack on the pounds contributing to diseases. What I'm really trying to say is if sodas are taxed...

belhaven14 I think what cher913 is trying to say is that it starts with cigarettes. Then it moves to soda. Then it moves to chips. Then it moves to candy. Then it moves to couches, TVs, gaming systems. The great thing about America is we are free to do what we want. Once...

belhaven14 According to the profession of accounting, anything longer than one year is considered long term. Since thats where my background is from, thats what I was refering to. Long and short are still really relative terms. You have short term investers who are "day...

belhaven14 I agree with you that the federal government has overstepped its boundries. I like the public school system because it evens the playing ground. Free school means the opportunities to earn scholarships to college, especially if there is a lotto system in your...

belhaven14 Technical analysis is based on charts and changes in price. Fundamental analysis is based on the facts and financials. You can do either analysis for the long term and the short term, and you can do both analysis on the same stock. If you want to make money in...

belhaven14 Those sound like some good reads. I definitly like how the one author interviewed several rich people. Its amazing how simple it is to get rich. Just spend less than you make and save. I will have to give that one a look.

What do you think it will take to get the Braves back to the postseason? I've been a Braves fan since '80 or '81 and like any other Braves fan it's difficult to watch them miss the postseason 3 or 4 years in a row after at least...

belhaven14 I hope you are right about KK. He struggled early in the year with control despite being a control pitcher in Japan. I haven't watched any of his starts lately, but I expected him to get comfortable and back to his old ways late in the season. By the lines he...

belhaven14 Justin Fox's book is still a new release if I am not mistaken. Cramer has a few books out, but I've only read "Real Money". I agree with you about the small businesses. Most of my stock screens when I am about to buy make sure the companies are small cap....

belhaven14 That is interesting that the labor costs are that low. I would think they would be higher, but I haven't looked at their books so I wouldn't know. There are several ways they could cut costs. Cutting some of the benefits to workers would be the one of the...

belhaven14 I love to drink Coca Cola with my pizza as well. I gave up drinking soft drinks a couple years ago though so this is a very very rare occasion. The sodium between those two can definitly make you very thirsty. Thanks for the response.
