sh said:Here's some recent "literature" stuff I did.

The essay on eighteenth century satire, I took a devil's advocate stance on the accepted belief that the satirists of the time were misogynists due to their "unkind" way of portraying women.
I argued that rather than simply treat them as objects of beauty, these descriptions made them at least more human, and might make a man search for the true soul in a woman instead of simply marrying for beauty - which because of this less objectifying way of thinking about women makes them true feminists. I used Pope's "To a Lady" and Swift's "Strephon and Chloe".

I haven't had the marks back from that one yet, so we'll see how it flies.

Did you even understand any of the references in that?



What do you think about literature during the age of romanticism? A lot of women broke boundaries then. Men did, too. Start of a true women's movement?

You jumped in this thread to STIR shit up. You're a bitter little leprechaun looking asshole. Thirty fucking years old and you're proud that you've never had a job.

You expect people to not just respect your dumbass but to admire you. Deep down you realize that you're a loser and it's eating you up. That's why you play the irritating fuckhead just like Katalyst. You know that the only reaction you'll get is hostility.

They hate me, I must make quite an impression because I'm not ignored.

One thing that I do like about ferret is the pet names he gives people. Garageboi, Special K, etc. Some of them are quite funny.

But if we do things your way, subsidize them to the tune of $40K or so , to provide them with a college degree(you know most are low income and won't have to pay a cent), there is one catch.

They are not legally allowed to work in the US.



I know. No easy answer, is there?

"
"We have in some cases invested $100,00 in their lives (for public schooling)," he said. "Why would we deny them the opportunity to attend our universities, improve their lives and give back to the state.""


THAT part makes some economic sense. They'll get nearly no return on 100k for a high school diploma, but an additional 50k might convert into a degree, and then a higher tax base.

It makes perfect sense if you think about it in those terms.

Firefighter Yasuao Sato told reporters his family was well aware of the risk -- and proud that he was taking it.

Look at the curriculum of a top MBA program - basic finance, basic accounting, "leadership" - basically nonsense. At least a quant-heavy MFA or a Phd in math will actually impart a relevant skill.



Hence why if you are going to be doing the MBA, load up on quantitative classes.

But I think the gold 'bubble' will go much higher before it tops...much higher.



Agreed. Getting in gold expecting it to go up $200 an ounce is a reasonable gamble. Expecting it to go to $2500 isn't.

lets face it, boomers deserve it and they are dumb enough to give their money away and all you have to do is create marketing materials where healthy looking boomers with grey hair are windsurfing or hang gliding.



2nd part: marketing materials are often very effective. Plus money managers lie about results because the money managers that do poorly (often through no fault of their own) are fired, which boosts average performance, where those performance numbers then wind up in glossy marketing sheets.

And people fall for this over and over and over and over again.

What I meant was that I wouldn't lie to someone and say that a move from investment A to B doesn't incur extra risk.

If I was to become a money manager, it would be through honesty. No fleecing. No bullshitting. Very literal.

What type of client do I have? What is the time horizon? What is their comfort with risk? How old are they? How have they invested before?

How can I communicate to them that it's not the broker that makes the difference, but the time horizon, the risk, and the ability to stick to the investment plan, and then use ultra self-discipline to rebalance the portfolio to make sure it stays with the original plan?
