Re: Wall Street
I opened a Pax World Balanced Fund two years ago. This particular mutual fund seems pretty low risk. It has earned much more than a cd or savings account ever could. Pax World is known for being environmentally and socially conscious, and seems to be designed for people who want to start investing ...

Re: Steve Jobs Resigns From Apple
The Cool Factor of it being an Apple product? :lol: (I'd heard about the WiiU as well, but it just fit too well with Apple's existing hardware to pass up...) I think they'd have to market it not as a gaming console but as something more, the fourth piece of "must have" lifestyle hardware... you've g...

Re: Steve Jobs Resigns From Apple
However, if they could tether iPads/Pods/Phones, you could perhaps use the accelerometer based controls of those with already existing games you've bought on your phone, just in HD on a big screen, and with the added possibility of multi-player, rather than just single-player+online. There are some...

Re: Wall Street
I would like to set up a small fund of money I can afford to lose to play with. If I make money, keep it in that fund. Never adding anything beyond my original investment. If I crap out then that would be that. I thought about doing this also. I think one way to do it would be to take a significant...

Re: Steve Jobs Resigns From Apple
With what games? The only way Apple gets in and makes money off of it is with a long term investment buying exclusives or even entire software companies. Well, yeah, that was sort of my point above... it seems like a really easy thing for them to do, until you realize that succesful consoles rely o...

Re: Steve Jobs Resigns From Apple
i just think it's set up for them now to have a console with a large hard drive that would only download games from itunes. they could make a shitload of money. but what do i know?? Ah, an "iGame" console, for $399, I bet. Basically a scaled down version of the Mac Mini or whatever it's called... b...

Re: Wall Street
Sure. That's two people. That's like an anecdote from a guy who knows two guys who won the lottery. I'm not denying that it happens, I'm just skeptical about it working out really well for even a quarter of the people who invest their savings in stocks/funds. I'd be very surprised if more than a qu...

Re: Steve Jobs Resigns From Apple
i always expected apple to make some sort of a gaming console. with jobs gone maybe that may be the next move. if they do it right i can't see how they could fail. That's interesting, because it would follow the pattern Jobs had of coming up with something so ahead of it's time that it was super-ex...

Allahu Akbar. :banana: Seriously though, Ghaddafi's a nut. My grandfather worked in Libya in the 60s (in the oil business, of course) and apparently it was weird even then, but because of the oil wealth, we capitulated this whole time (similarly with Saudi, though they seem to cooperate more directl...

Re: Billionaire funding artificial libertarian islands
It's idiotic to think that that's something that should be left to a state-by-state basis... I'm not arguing that at all.
