TO CLARIFY A COUPLE OF THINGS ABOUT MY PROJECT.....
by Mary infirst of all, i want to thank everyone for all the words of encouragment and compliments i've received regarding the project i put together.
not only will it (hopefully) help some family members to see that something's not right regarding many of the wt's doctrines, but it was therapeutic for me to do as well.
like many other ex-witnesses, i was emotionally devastated and extremely angry when i discovered that this religion was not "the truth" as was drilled into our brains from day one.

Personal finance point #2: the perils of short-term trading for high profit
by JimmyPage inthe perils of following an approach that advocates short-term trading with the allure of high profits are numerous:.
you're going to rack up enormous brokerage commissions.. on occasions where your short-term trades produce a profit, you pay high ordinary income tax rates rather than the far lower capital gains rate for investments held more than 12 months.. you're not going to make big profits- quite the reverse.
if you stick with this approach, you'll underperform the market averages.. you're going to make yourself a nervous wreck.

Spot on
Been investing for over 25 years
Most holdings are 18 months old
Some longer
If I get a nice gain (15%)
I'll take profits
Day Trading Will Kill You
Options Trading Will Kill You
This is for pros
NOT for retail investors
Be diversified
Panic is not a strategy
Discipline Trumps Conviction
DO YOUR RESEARCH
Buy Good Companies
Look for nice yields as a hedge
(make sure they are consistent payers) -

obama...oompa....all he lacks is a p basically....and insurance issues
by oompa ini am soooo tired of seeing his name here!...it just looks too much like mine.
as much as i think he is pathetically inexperienced...like palin......i kinda hope he could fix healthcare.
my little biz is now going to have to pay 79k this year for healthcare for just 16 employees and their family......and that is only with us paying 60 percent of the premium....and for 5 straight years we have had to raise our deductable........this sucks...for 15 years i was so proud to pay 100 percent of the insurance benefit, but now i cant.......it is depressing.......i am a small business, and really can not afford the 79k i have to contribute this year (tears in my eyes dammit).....the oldest employee i have is only 50 years old.......and when that happend our rates went to hell even faster....one kid.....only 11 years old is 179 bucks a month!!!

HSA's as an option
They are an interesting

Flip side of being long
Bulls use it as insurance
Working just shorts is hard work
Requires a lot of homework
Given a bad rap since the
uptick rule was thrown out
It's all a gamble -

MY PROJECT IS (FINALLY) FINISHED!
by Mary infor those of you who are interested, the project i've been working on for the last few months is finally finished.
i originally did a thread about it back in april: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/10/156497/1.ashx.
it seems that alot of us still have family members in the religion and have not infrequent arguments with them about some of the beliefs and practices.

JW "get-togethers" weird
by Iwonder17 ini was brought up in the truth and have always found itstrange that people will invite ones that have "fallen away" over to their house for dinner etc with the hopes that that will bring them back in to the truth.. is it just me, or is this thinking weird???
do any other religions thinks that if a member of their church stps going, that all they need to do if have a bbq and the person will start going to church again???.
don't get me wrong, i understand the "encouragement" part of it, but i think that it is a weak gesture as well as i think that it is such a crappy "rule" that if someone doesn't respond to things like this, then they just drop them altogether.. i know a father whose son is not a jw, and he just chooses to have nothing to do with him.
