well i'm sure that in NY and Chicago people know about all this as its where the markets open and close...when i said outside the box i was talking more about people here in LA...when people ask what i do and i tell them they always end up w/ a dumbfounded look. Money is everywhere to be made but what its easy for some to do isn't for others. I'm well aware that the futures market involves very high risks and you can lose big money in a blink of an eye, i've seen it happen to other invenstors who got a little too greedy...discipline is very important as is controlling your emotions.

Right now, we spend more time blaming each other than fixing the problem.
That's exactly what I mean, thanks Bry.

When I say "new car", I mean a Kia Rio with about $5k in rebates.

I feel worse for my friend who is out of work, had to cash his in. When he started the process, he was going to get $11k. They told him it would take a few days. By the time he got his money, he had a little over $8k.

Did you guys hear how Arnold and Obama are working to Deregulate the states emissions tests so instead of being limited federaly the states can make their own emissions standards that would be even more strict. SUCKS.

California = More Lawyers, more Imports, more regulations, more prisoners, more illegals, more government, more welfare. What a way to screw up a beautiful State!

Reducing any or all of the above is the only recipe for improvement.
