    Look I'm in the same boat. I need to put a chunk of money to work. The multiples of everything are too high. Yields are too low. I've lived through several market crashes and recessions. They hurt. Everything declines.

    You were the one thinking of buying a dip in those overpriced momentum names is a lock. I was just pointing out the risk. None of those names are trading on fundamentals. Anecdotally, a college friend worked at Lucent, his plan allowed him to invest in Lucent or a GIC. He used to ask me my...

    Dumbshit kid called me out long ago when I tried to give him some sound advice. Just gave him more, only more harshly. He's comparing the market to WoW's AH and is ready to invest?

    You would be best served buying Index funds with low management fees, not putting much in any one thing. You haven't shown yourself to be very bright, only lucky enough to have been born on third base.

    Feds cracking down on 'credit-repair' companies. Jin use only a fraction of that credit limit. IE. Say a total of $1000 possible, use only $200.00, pay it all off or pay slowly, just don't be late or underpay the min. (usually $15). Key is TIME and good behavior.

    Insurance is for catastrophic occurrences, not run of the mill bullshit. I remember being sick as a dog stuck in line, waiting for the pharmacist to deal with the Hispanic fellow getting his free Sudafed. That is what Cal's UHC will end up as.

    He's going to pay a "large amount" to erase the 297 debt. $297 is nothing, I forgot he paid it off. Send letters to credit bureaus to add a note that you paid it in full and carry on with your life Jin.

    Brahma. I see these other opinions. Here's mine. There is no inventory for sale. Market is very thin. By that I mean, nothing offered. You have a house xxx,xxx then you have a house xxx.xxx + 20,000. One maybe 2. The lowball ones attract buyers. The houses you linked , were all priced too low...

    Just leave the bad mark there for a bit. Continue to use the cc's you have, always pay on time. Leave a balance on a low interest cc, pay it off slowly. Buy something big, pay it off on time. Later dispute the bad mark. But let the account age. No response from them in 30 days, its gone. People...

    You are paying cash, you just ran around and saw what the market had to offer. The bank wants protection the bad old days are gone, so they loan only up to a percentage. If the appraisal came in to too low, they would want the borrower to pony up more money.

    Flipped or not, if your market is at a very low inventory level, you are going to pay up. The market is very tight. And bad areas can become good. I liked the more stately ones. Everything points to higher prices. Lending is tight. Kids coming to the market. It's not go go. The good deals where...
