  5. i wrote a big write up although seemed too diverse last night in this thread and deleted it respecting the conservative nature this thread and forum tends to direct. Boxx is spot on with trends and at&t. my ex with her cpa and mda is in the office of the president at at&t and knowing the strenth of the workplace with them and following their capital for 10 years now there is a lot of substance to put your money behind with them Another is Comcast i will ad. watching very closely you will see them gain very adversely. I have to include trends i notice with tech gadgets will pull them down in the future although in the next 3 years its a buy situation just be ready to sell or trade patiently at about 2 and a half years from now and you will do very well Trends following price waterhouse cooper are also to spike although i am not at liberty to suggest taking the chance quite yet. time and understanding could do you very well studying certain areas you can at least understand the least bit will gain knowledge for those with the patience to do so. best of luck to all

  7. This is for fun to get different opinions. This is something I've been keeping track of for almost two years now. You will notice every now & then a straight horizontal line... just several days where I forgot to chart it. By & large, I have datapoints for each day. Again, this is about two years worth of data. No name & no info. Just a picture. What say you? If you have any thoughts, please expand on your reasoning. Again, this isn't an inquisition, but for fun to see what the thoughts are with zero information given to you. Buy it now? why? Sell it now? why? Short it now? why? Margin it for your retired grandmother in the nursing home? why?

  9. In another thread started by Sargent about 3% interest, the topic began to sway to politics and small business. I thought it would be polite to start a new thread concerning this topic. As you all know, data is extremely important to government. This is how they keep metrics. The trouble is that small businesses don't usually have the means to hire professionals or employees to handle this. Although it may be easy for a single clerk to handle the paperwork, that is an overhead that cannot be spread over a large revenue base. That employee may well be half the cost of the entire business. The bigger your business, the easier it is to absorb the cost and the smaller the percentage of overhead it creates. This is why small businesses are at a huge disadvantage. Another example of how government interferes with small business is competing with them. In my case, it was the state government who snatched a customer. Rather than working with me, they decided to take the customer for themselves. It was a development authority, which was state and county funded. My business was in the same industrial park. I had a union workforce. I had newer facilities, and better trained workers. In spite of all that, they undercut me, and caused the permanent layoff of 10 people. Another example of government interference that was devastating to me was in an immanent domain for a state corridor, which is partially federally funded. I was working with the state to relocate my customers, and was having no issues at all working within their imposed time limit. I had a total of 150,000 sq ft operating about 1 million pounds a day by truckload and LTL's. Teamster union employees. My kids were young and I wanted to take them to Disney World. Before I left, I gave the state guy my cell so he could reach me, and asked if it was OK for me to leave. He was from Florida, and he told me it was no problem and to enjoy the time with the family. "Disney is great!", he said. I called the office from the Disney hotel and was told that he had called EVERY customer I had and gave them 60 days to get out. Needless to say, that ruined my vacation. It also lost half my customers. Once you put a scare into a manufacturer, they get very punchy. I sued the state and they settled. This is an example of what happens to some people when they get power. Many government employees are afflicted with this, and it is always the businesses who suffer. How about this one. In most states, most roofs installed on commercial and industrial buildings is galvanized steel. In this state it is by far the most common. Here's the rub. It is illegal to have a galvanized roof, but not illegal to sell it or install it. Here's why. because we have acid rain, the zinc is washed from the metal every time it rains. The allowed amount of zinc released into the waterways is tiny. In fact, it is a small fraction of the amount allowed in your tap water. Why, then is the sale of galvanized metal roofing legal? If you have ever filed, paid for and maintained a stormwater permit, including semi annual grabs from every outlet and then paid analysis, you will know what overhead really means. It's frickin ridiculous. Two summers ago, I was fined over $5,000 because I was late with a grab. It was the responsibility of the manufacturer tenant to make this grab, and they dropped the ball. The thing about it is this. Every damn grab yields about the same results. They just reached into my pocket and stole five grand. I have many many more examples I will share, but I hope people will become involved in this thread, so I will stop here.

  14. No no no.... To clarify, I did not mean ALL TO3's are gone. There are good replacements for the majority, as noted in post 24. Just the faster TO-3's are gone.

  22. I only replace my computers when they're really tired and starting to run badly, meaning 5 to 8 years or so. That has meant I've leapfrogged past the dubious OSes. Windows 98 to XP, then XP to Windows 7. Going from XP to 7 was pretty pleasant, and I would not call myself an advanced user. If you can find a Windows 7 machine, you'll likely find the transition from XP to be fairly simple. Windows Live Mail that comes with Win7 is also quite a bit better than XP's Outlook Express.

  42. I see it because it needs done. Crites puts out the most logical for the cost and is honest to a T so you really cannot go wrong. On top of that the work he does they work great. They always sound so much better. With Dean i'd love to have him do work for me but im broke and i feel like i'd be cheating on Bob. Dean is cutting edge and i'v seen his work as complete works of art. Iv seen some of Deans work and would litterally hang them on the wall. And o yeah the functionality of Deans work is supreme. I have some networks sitting around i use as art in my studio. Crites is the standard of perfection and Dean will open your ears beyond what many thought was even possible. diy is nice although working with the top dealers in the business results in lifetime support and they have the numbers in their mind or very close by
