I overslept, so will write something later.

About Me
- Bunkerman
- I have a pioneer mentality. My wife & I live in the woods - neighbors aren't visible except slightly in winter. Our "bunker" - hehe, really a fine home & barn - has plenty of security. We have four dogs: Krypto (age 9, Kelpie), Ava (age 13, Rat Terrier), Sky (Kelpie, age 5) and Lucky Star (age 1, kelpie). I don't take crap from anyone anymore, having enough resources & gear stocked up to survive in any circumstance. I have three degrees from Harvard including a Ph. D. in a physical science, and an MS in Management from MIT. I worked as an investment banker for about 25 years, mainly in secured finance, at three major Wall Street firms and for the last 17 years with my partners at our own firm. I'm semi-retired now, managing some private corporations and business interests and doing my own trading & investing. This is not to boast, but to give you an idea I know a little about some subjects from experience. The photo is my 1943 M16 half-track which I am restoring. These armored vehicles were ubiquitous in the US Army in World War II and Korea. It's driveable.

Philadelphia Phillies win the World Series ! A loquacious poster of comments should now be happy after a lifetime of frustrations.
GOD DAMN RIGHT!
first, i wud like to not thank god, has he had nothing to do with this!
second, spinny for showing cole hamels in double A. u r spot on bro!
watched with a friend last nite and after it was over, the champagne was flowing and we just shrugged our shoulders, hugged and started crying.
LOL, no shit!
u really cant overstate how important that win was to the psychologically of that great but dying town.
play of the game for me, was chase making that play at the plate.
still rofl thinking about howard knocking the whole pile over like a bowling ball hitting pins.
glad i took today off.
i shud catch the next flight to philly and go to the parade, but i gotta get hopin on my move to costa rica.
after this, really, there is nothing keeping me here.
small beefer friend of mine movin to uruguay
he is terrified of the obama-pelosi-reid regime
thinks his federal income taxes are goin up to 43-44% and also they are goin to impose a transaction tax on all trades
he cashed out and is about to close on a house on the beach.........i may take a trip with him to check it out in december
attaboy merny...every fan of a team deserves to have the world champion feeling....enjoy it sir
no, Bud ... they are learning from us on how to act fast, etc.
But I think Asia does suffer from beefer antics and they have a gripe that is consistent with our problem, too.
43% ... uh ... that is the current tax rate in income earned by almost anyone on Social Security.
The tax system has been punishing the common man retiree for years and letting beefer managers like Peter Peterson pay low rates like 15%
what recession??????????
uhhhh......the 15% is on 'risk capital'
Bman are you familiar with the concept of 'risk'..........means you could lose it all in a second.....as many beefers have learned recently
we need to encourage investing....not disourage it by taxing it like ordinary income
PS.....are you sure retirees pay 43%.......i think that is only at the very high end
are these real buyers this morning?
loooooooooooool
T Boone outta all his oils
kinda reminds you of Ted Turner when he sold a ton of TWX 9/10$ area..it went up !00% from there.....yikes
nice buys last week bunk
that is such BS, Bud.
That "risk capital" is money they never, ever paid a $ of tax on in the first place !
Sure, IFF they pay taxes on the first "investment" and then get 15% on risk capital like the rest of us.
But they don't.
They pay nothing on that "carried interest" they get as a fee, and as it grows they pay 15%.
But we common man pay 30-40% on income and then invest it and pay the 15%. And if we lose the $, we get our looses limited to $3000 per year.
Totally unfair.
I doubt if real buyers return for a year, that is , except me & Mrs. B and Warren Buffet.
yesterday's close will scare them more.
mav prolly very busy......or still drunk since tommy got the boot......he must have missed the posts
Bman finally succumbed......it took awhile but i finally convinced him.........he admits now that there is no such thing as 'real buyers'
Real buyers are in their bunkers hiding, fearful of more shelling.
