Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad" book is an excellent motivational tool. It is also quite educational to the the balance sheet layman. Otherwise, it is full of badly mis-priced risks that are not immediately observable to the non-investor types... you would not make it very far if you really...

Excellent fundamentals to wealth accumulation! One point on the step 4 though, I don't think investing in tax shelters is altogether good blanket advice. It is certainly a bonus when you find an attractive investment vehicle that is also a tax shelter, but you shouldn't let the tax shelter...

I was under the impression that the NSX has quite a long racing history in Japan... am I mistaken?

You guys are awesome! Kid, I'll shoot you a PM.

Hi Guys, I'm looking to pickup another TL to be used exclusively as a long distance beater. I will need it shipped to AZ. I found the following car on ebay in your neck of the woods, and I was wondering if anybody there has seen the car or knows about the dealer's reputation...

:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: That is very true, that is the reason my "figure" was an ideology and not a number. I do think hearing other people's formula can be both beneficial or detrimental depending on how you interpret them, but it still gives you options. :) Yes, I completely agree...

... real nice Ron. Thanks for all your help and kind words. I'm glad you took time out of your busy day to try to help somebody - as opposed to putting them down. Kudos to you. I guess I'm just a sucker for financial topics, that is my field of expertise after all... but since this is a car...

I do agree. The car loan was just an example in relation to the risk-free rate. In reality there will be almost zero chance of borrowing money below that rate since properly priced risk should always have a premium. This might be a better example... if you believe that you can generate a 15%...

Drew, I really like what you said and agree with you 100% on everything except the quote above. As long as the carrying cost of the non-essential is higher than the risk-free rate of return, then you should very obviously finance it. For example, many lenders offer 0% financing on autos...

good stuff, I actually did a little piece on my site about why debt is so good. http://mrstockquickie.com/node/35 So damn true Marc! Anybody can go broke at any moment and job security is a myth. In truth, you've gotta blaze your own trail and accumulate as much wealth as you can until you're...

Give Chris at Science of Speed (480-894-6277) or Mark Basch (480-968-8010) a call, they might know of a reputable shop down there. You also might want to PM Heather (TucAZNSX), she lives in that area.

Re: NEED HELP !!! Flying to tempe to pick up my NSX nxshaw, get ready to die from the heat right now in AZ! If any members (+nsxshaw) want to meet up for lunch or something, let me know... I'm up in North Scottsdale, but I can make the drive down if that is out of the way.

Interactive Brokers bar none.

This is a stretch, but you might even consider moving to a "cheap" state with a decent public university (Texas comes to mind) if money is extremely tight right now. Maybe you could move close to your parents and they could help with the kids while you knock out your formal education. Most...

I agree, don't ever stop chasing what you want and don't sell yourself short. You know that compromising on your goals is just plain apathetic... there is a path to get what you desire... just step outside your comfort zone and take the path of greater resistance; you'll be energized and...

haha... when I talk about subjects that are analytical or technical in nature, I tend to speak in the sometimes cryptic language of the subject - I think I do this in an attempt to be as explicit as possible. I'm actually a software engineer (with my education in computer engineering and...

A 100% flop would kill their stock if for nothing more than sentiment. However, there is much more than investor sentiment riding on the the iPhone's success... the stock market tends to be a leading indicator of the profitability potential of the underlying company... about 6 months out or so...

I've gotta say that you're just wrong on assuming that. If it is so easy to predict, then join the other 3.5% of the investment world who is short Apple... there is not a large number of people that share your belief (disclaimer: of course the % float that is short doesn't necessarily predict...

Hey Mike, I guess I have been a bit absent from prime... I'm very busy these days working on my business (relates to equities, equity derivatives, and paper writing). Dude, that's awesome that you're half Irish. My "Irishness" really shines bright in my first name, Erin-Michael, and the...

Cool Heather, I actually had no idea. As for me, I'm half Japanese and half Irish.

... and my first choice. :smile:

All you Silver vs. Blue guys really need to get a room.

I think Terry has been watchin' a little too much bugs bunny. :biggrin:

You got it right there... a special car, but still just a car.
