Government / Department of Defense$1,000,000 Liability Insurance (Won't ever need it, But they Have it)

I guarantee you it will cost NO LESS than $50,000.00 to start a good defense...If you are gonna flip in NC... please do not call me to close, I will not do it

James Hutchinson,That would depend upon your situation; however, typically it is not too bad in most situations.

Bill, Nick, James - Thanks guys!

This is definitely an advantage for Texas since they preach pitching and defense.

I agree with James.

James: Whether NMLS is required or not has to do with the purpose of the loan, nothing else.

I hold that very TIPS fund, that plus metals funds (PSLV, CEF: they hold actual metals, stay away from GLD,SLV), Plus DBA (global food shortage play), plus REMX (rare earth play) are the make ups of a very defensive, diversified portfolio that holds some risk but IMHO less than equity funds which we've all witnessed in the past 2yrs.

Thank you James for your input!

I worked in the defense industry for almost a decade on some of the most advanced weapons systems we have and I can tell you that there are EXTREME amounts of waste.
