If you do have an interest and you want to get a sense of the ideas behind the monumental wrongs done to black people here in the 20th century that came out of that way of thinking, start with "The Passage of the Great Race," written by Madison Grant and first published right in New York City.

Case Shiller ranks San Diego as having the 3rd best return for this century.  

I am not sure if it's a fragility issue or a participation trophy issue, but to become a great investor, you have to be open to diverse feedback, even if it's sometimes sarcastic when you think you found the deal of the century still on the market after 816 days in Scottsdale where every investor whets their beak every day.Anyone else seeing this?

I've gotten dinged for things that had been that way for a century, like being told the stairs on the sidewalk hatch need a handrail. 

Century 21 Haggerty, they have been great property managers for me.
