Katie Couric, Charlie Gibson, Brian Williams and a tough old U.S. Marine Sergeant were captured by terrorists in Iraq.

The leader of the terrorists told them he'd grant each of them one last request before they were beheaded and dragged naked
through the streets.

Katie Couric said,'Well, I'm a Southerner, so I'd like one last plate of fried chicken.'

The leader nodded to an underling who left and returned with the chicken. Couric ate it all and said, 'Now I can die content.'

Charlie Gibson said, 'I'm living in ' New York , so I'd like to hear the song, The Moon and Me, one last time.'

The terrorist leader nodded to another terrorist who had studied the Western world and knew the music. He returned
with some rag-tag musicians and played the song.
Gibson was satisfied.

Brian Williams said, 'I'm a reporter to the end. I want to take out my tape recorder and describe the scene here and what's about to happen. Williams dictated his comments.
He then said, 'Now I can die happy.'

The leader turned and said, 'And now, Mr. U.S. Marine, what is your final wish?

'Kick me in the ***,' said the Marine.

'What?' asked the leader, 'Will you mock us in your last hour?'

'No, I'm NOT kidding. I want you to kick me in the ***,' insisted the Marine.

So the leader shoved him into the yard and kicked him in the ***.
The Marine went sprawling, but rolled to his knees, pulled a 9 mm pistol from inside his cammies and shot the leader dead.
In the resulting confusion, he emptied his sidearm on six terrorists, then with his knife he slashed the throat of one, and
with an AK-47, which he took, sprayed the rest of the terrorists killing another 11. In a flash, all of them were either dead or
fleeing for their lives.

As the Marine was untying Couric, Gibson, and Williams, they asked him, 'Why didn't you just shoot them all in the first place?
Why did you ask him to kick you in the ***?'

'What?' replied the Marine, 'and have you three ***'s report that I was the aggressor....?

Semper Fi!


Three Californian surgeons were playing golf together and discussing surgeries they had performed. One of them said, "I'm the best surgeon in California. In my favorite case, a concert pianist lost sever fingers in an accident, I reattached them, and 8 months later he performed a private concert for the Queen of England."


The second surgeon said, "That's nothing. A young man lost an arm and both legs in an accident, I reattached them and two years later he won a gold medal in track and field events at the Olympics."


The third surgeon said, "You guys are amateurs. Several years ago a woman was high on cocaine and marijuana and she rode a horse head-on into a train traveling 80 miles an hour. All I had left to work with was the woman's hair and the horse's ***. I was able to put them together and now she's Speaker of the House."

Another great article by Martin Weiss of Money & Markets!

The truth hurts. But it also heals.

That’s the lesson of the Great Depression of the 1930s, the S&L disaster of the 1980s, the giant insurance failures of the 1990s, and the tech wreck of the early 2000s.

As long as Wall Street and Washington hid the real facts and lied about their true consequences, the crisis lingered and deepened. It wasn’t until they confessed to past blunders, flushed out the bad assets, and let the marketplace determine their true values that the crisis finally began to end.

Our leaders know this. Yet they do nothing about it.

Matty,

There you go again with all this conspiracy non-sense.

Peter who?

Where do you find these hacks?

:sleep: :boring: :sleep: :boring: :beer:

No but seriously Schiff makes some great points that need to be known.

I had no idea he spoke at the End The Fed Rally.

Jeff,

All I can say is that sums it up.

It's like Bernie and AIG EXECs are the patzis and everyone else is just getting off.

Meanwhile instead of demanding accountability everyone just moves on to the next thing they give you to b*tch about i.e. what are we on now torture? Whatever! But they dripped water on my forehead waaa! I was going to blow up an embassy and they would not let me sleep waaa!

It's not like we were pulling out fingernails or cutting off digits.

I'm not saying I agree with torture (the rack) but, those are tools used to gain information that saves lives without inflicting permanent injury.

Sorry for the tangent.

Jeff,

Have you found any instances of something being done ethically?

Just curious,

Matt,

I'd probably do some traveling spend a lot of time studying subjects that interest me maybe go back to school but, I've never really needed someone to tell me what books to read. I have always found immersing myself in something and speaking with successful individuals in the industry to be what I enjoy.

Practice some philanthropy.

I'm particularly interested in patients, cosmology, particle physics and especially alternative energy.

Maybe settle down find a good women have a couple children.

Actually this is more of what I am planning on doing in five years than what I would do if but, guess the only difference between a goal and a dream is the PLAN!

Best, Lee

Rich,

I'm in San Antonio, Texas! :D

So I'm pretty familiar with Texas policy nothing like Michigan where there is a six month redemption period! Yea even after the sheriffs sale you can live in the home six months without a payment before they can come chuck you lazy *ss and your crap right to the side of the road!

As far as working short sales I have ways of getting them pulled from the auction (tie um up). No it's not easy they loose you Authorization to release info twice a week and give you one hell of a run around but good notes and being professional pays off.

As far as the note purchase that's why you buddy up with the trustees and attorneys. Monitor the legal news and have a subscription to the Foreclosure listing service.

Rich next time your down hear in S.A. maybe we could have a cup of coffee or a beer your choice?

All the Best, Lee

Rich,

Thanks for the compliment.

I agree with that statement I just wanted to say 1 let me put it simply would have been enough. The half of the members who don't understand should not feel like they are so "simple". People come here to learn and stay here because we don't make them feel that way.

Rich I'd agree with that statement. I was referencing the question in terms of the bulk of real estate not being offered nationally. Wouldn't you agree that there is some price controlling going on by not listing "more distressed assets" on a national level?

True I've seen this as well. However I'd venture to wonder why they are taking less on properties you feel are a good buy? My guess is that the investor who purchased the note from the institution had specified what he would take. Most likely as the home was over leveraged by a HELOC or home equity loan and the investor had already recouped his initial investment. I believe that makes sense if the person had been in the home for about 10 yrs. Do you have any input on that?

I didn't say that is what happens every time Rich. I think it has more to do with the investor who purchased the note from the Bank than with the bank itself in many not all instances. The idea there is to not let the deals you purchase get to auction buy purchasing the note prior to.

Exactly the question is why let it get to the steps where I might have to bid against you on it!
