(John Adams); andThis planet has — or rather had — a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time.

Not a big fan of flying every month to the other side of the planet. ;)

But being half a planet away means you can't easily get to the location to have a look.

Because the US dollar is nothing but a big fat IOU from what is always touted as the strongest, "flush with cash and opportunity" country on the planet, we as Americans continue to go on with our lives investing in the same asset class (equities) and continue doing what we always did because we are satisfied getting what we've always gotten and frankly we are brainwashed and programmed to believe if we continue to invest in American companies, we will continue a 8-9 percent year over year return.

One thing is true we have the amount of ground given to us on this planet not more...that is until we get really good at space exploration which my guess wont be in my lifetime.

It's about an investment firm that wants to be the first to jump ship and get rid of all of their toxic mortgages in a big fire sale.

We've been counter-offering back and forth for almost 2 weeks and finally have agreement, but before the deal formally goes under contract BofA wants me to sign-off on 21 pages worth of addendums:- a 17-page Real Estate Purchase addendum- a 1-page Buyer's Acknowledgement and Disclosure- a 2-page Water Damage, Toxic Mold & Environmental Disclosure, Release and Indemnification Agreement- and a 1-page Lead-Based Paint and Lead-Based Paint Hazards Disclosure, Acknowledgement and Disclosure.I've skimmed through it and it appears to be a lot of CYA type stuff, like there's not property condition disclosure, its being sold "as-is", buyer won't hold BofA accountable if problems with property arise at a later date, etc.

You can make money in almost every corner of this planet. 

Either I was lied to or the seller is the biggest idiot on the planet!
