    ahhhh blissful "silence"...

    Once someone has proven that they don't really have anything worth paying attention to, it makes for an easy decision, doesn't it?

    ok, now I am truly out of here. Laters.

    Talk to the hand, twocents...

    If he is a CFO and he can't name

    "time value of money"

    and

    "risk=return"

    as two of the most important principles of finance off the top of his head, maybe I should have HIS job.

    If you end up trying to compare two different types of cash flows without acknowledging that they have different risk profiles, such as SS and a 401k, you don't know as much about finance as you think you do.

    Buy low and sell high.

    Get that from a Kirosawa book or something?
    "Principals of Finance" is a concept from a book; dude is working with real books. Thirty years after you've passed all 4 parts (assuming you ever do), we'll see if that recitation rolls off the tongue.

    Social Security and 401K are designed to do the same thing; provide for people in their retirement. The SSA has an "account" with my name on it, that I pay in to. For years it was sold to citizens as their money, for THEIR use when they retire. Don't believe me? Talk to a 70 or 80 something, and that's what you'll hear. We haven't been hit over the head with it, because since the '70's it has been quite apparent that what it has been, cannot continue to be. It's now simply a tax and untouchable en lement program - whose costs and unfunded liabilities are growing at a frightening pace.

    hey, if you're hanging out with that freeloader brother-in-law, then you are an enabler. why haven't you done something to rid our beautiful country of this burden?

    right now, everyday, as we speak, the american public is paying iraqis not to kill us. why don't you about the system we set up over there? because it's easier to pick on starving children?

    2centsworth........sounds about right.

    (shrugs)

    When someone is more interested in pumping their own ego than in whether they have a logical or moral leg to stand on, I have other things to do than feed that ego, sorry.

    If all someone wants is to trade insults the troll forum is that-away, or for that matter, the nearest junior high school is this-away...

    your whole argument is based on what you consider to be needless spending.

    but then again, it isn't.

    Nope, it was my check he forged that ultimately got him in jail...I pressed charges.

    Freeloader is as freeloader does. I don't blame him, I blame the government. It is the enabler.

    this coming from someone who has boiled finance down to two major points. hahaha

    all I've done is expose you for the free-loader that you are which means your "moral lleg" was cut off.

    But hey, the poor. They made bad decisions, and it isn't MY problem, is it?

    I mean, my money is my money, and the government shouldn't take it from me to do wasteful things like help abused children, that would be an en lement, and we can't have that.

    So I use my money which I earn to provide for my family and be charitable as I see fit.

    I don't need a politician to make myself charitable or responsible.

    What's funny is that Repubs don't even realize that helping the poor/underprivileged is actually to their advantage. Since I know all they care about is how something affects them and not about whether it's the humane thing to do or not.

    The longer you take advantage/ on somebody the more desperate you make them. The more desperate somebody is, the higher the chance is that said person would commit a violent crime. It's not like they feel they have anything to lose. You may think that's them/their problem and it doesn't affect you, but you are more closely intertwined with them than you think. If that violent crime is committed against you or somebody you love, only then will you realize how close to home these issues really are.

    Because "helping the poor" only occurs when someone votes. It's all about the image and nothing about the reality. Because you support a politician who advocates government run charity then you are "humane." Nevermind if you've never actually helped anyone else out of your own good will. You vote, therefore you are.

    The longer you take advantage/ on somebody the more desperate you make them.
    Oh yes, we are all responsible for 'taking advantage' of the poor.

    How about you log off and go help the poor for a change?

    The government, us, has helped the poor, disadvantaged,
    and whatever to the tune of trillions of dollars. Now you
    want to tell me what neighborhoods have the highest
    crime rates, prey on their fellow neighbors and have
    most of the gangs.

    You remind me of those that say Jesus was a Liberal.
    Wrong he was a Conservative. He never said anything
    about government helping the poor. As a matter of
    fact he said render unto Caesar what is his. And for
    the private citizen to help the poor.

    You make two false assumptions here.

    1)"Lefties" cannot be christians.
    2) I am not a christian.

    Both are wrong, and that is why you fail, padawan.

    Well you certainly are a lefty,

    and you just admitted you're a freeloader,

    and since freeloaders are hardly ever in a position to be charitable since they don't have anything to give, you just proved 2cent's assumptions correctly.

    PrincipLES of finance are indeed concepts that one first learns from a book. They are also used every day by CEOs and CFOs in all sorts of things.

    If you can't tell the difference between 10,000 today and 12,000 five years from now, you aren't doing your shareholders much good.

    If conservatives are so worried about "wasting" money in social programs, why aren't they preocupied with wasting money in Iraq?

    Something is not adding up . . .

    we are, but the spending in Iraq is equivalent to someone on the verge of bankruptcy worrying ablout the cable bill. The abuse of en lement programs by people like Randomguy is what's bankrupting this country. He thinks en lement programs are a way for him to avoid hard labor.
