The Band Plays On

"Strong" employment and yet large declines in housing prices.

Nearly all new housing is not included in the for sale housing supply numbers.

The NAR/CAR report, if it had been produced in April 1912, would read: "The onboard managers from the accounting department of the Cunard Line are pleased to report that free ice is now available on the foredeck."

Hey Steph, is the Haterz™ club getting t-shirts?

Casey Serin said...

Damn, I could've gotten first but I was making boom-boom in my pants. Galina has since changed my diaper.

[Yeah, I used the joke on Steph's blog... it cracked me up enough that I figured I'd use it here. hehe]

Yet another day of no IAFF. Kind of relaxing. Now casey has no job, no blog to update and no money. I can imagine his days are very busy "working".

Are they off playing hide the salami somewhere?

Nigel looks like a spermburping homotron bitch...not that there is anything wrong with that.

@Gameover;
Haven't you been paying attention? You can only get Haterz™ T-shirts on Nigel's Site. C'mon now.

Miranda Mayer said...

Don't forget the Haterz™ Census if you haven't signed it yet; it's on my blog, just comment once on the joke for Kevin post.

I'm going to try and figure out just how many of us there are.

Trust me, T-shirts may seem cool but that patrick.net image has to be one of the wurst pictures of me I've ever seen. The pic was after the BBQ and we were asked to stick out our chests and pull back our heads so we could see the quotes on the shirts. This explains why we are in those goofy tees over golf shirts with chests and tummies puffed out pose.

There appears to be a rumour floating about that Nigel Swaby worked as a gay prostitute during the Olympics.

It would appear to be true.

Can anyone offer any assistance in corroborating this information.

Nigel is so very stupid..... from his latest post:

"The main reason I chose stocks is if a real estate deal comes along, I'd like to be liquid enough to access my money quickly."

Everyone knows that stocks should be a long term investment. For lquidity, have cash in a money market, CDs or other investment vehicle. If you put $40,000 in stocks with the intention to purchase in 12 months and the market hiccups, the $40,000 could loose value.

I keep a balanced portfolio:

Real Estate - Rental property that pays for itself - not really income producing... holding on to it for the long term.
Real Estate - Primary residence (long term "investment")
Stocks - long term investments geared for my retirement
Money Market - quick cash for future investing
Money Market - 6 months savings for living expenses as my "emergency fund."

I'm on an all "cash" basis now. My credit card balance remains less than $1,000. If I can't afford it, I don't buy it, or become creative and find other options.

I make about $60,000 p/year in my loser W-2 job - but I live as if I make $48,000 so that I can put away $1,000 p/month.

I bet Nigel is like Casey - deeply in debt, very little savings, and one step ahead of creditors.

Well, the truth is, Swaby first tried working as a heterosexual male escort for the ladies. But he found that he could only fetch about three bucks for a roll in the hay, with his good looks. And besides, he wasn't even turned on by the ladies anyway.

So he defected to the other team, where he's made a lucrative living... uhh... "staying on top of things".

Wasn't Swaby in a boy band? N*Sucks?

stocks can be worked shorter-term, but it's trading, not investing, and it's hard work. i'm currently 100% money market, no stocks, because momentum is lost right now. nigel has no clue what i'm talking about. his investment advice is about as sound as his economics theorizing. recently he argued that jobs lost from housing employment will be gained through public works projects. this is not the stuff for fluffy permabull essays. charts i've seen show he's full of shit. but where would i even start? he's a tenth the pendulous pedant he wishes to be.

Yeah. Actually, you know how boy bands always have "The Good-Looking One", "The Tough One", "The Sweet One", and so forth...?

Nigel was "The Balding One".

How can a mortgage broker say that stock investments are smart moves for liquidity? There are better options and ANY IDIOT knows that.

Short term money market accounts from places such as ETrade and others offer sweet returns for little capital investment. Stocks can be RISKY as well as no guarantee that you get your money out fast enough.

So you are saying Nigel is the equivalent of the lurch looking guy in New Kids or Joey Fatone from NSync?

Cool.

Did anybody see the SNL skit where Justin Timberlake and Andy whatshisname performed that Dick In A Box song? Man, I was rolling all over the floor! They reminded me of Nigel with more hair.

Apparently, Nigel Swaby was a gay prostitute during the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. The "pins" that he was selling were located in his rectum.

Rob Dawg said...

Stock day trading is not for me. Too much right place/right time stuff for my tastes. I do a few futures contracts in the interests of disclosure.

Cramer was ready for the rubber room today but Nigel actually stumbles upon a few nuggets. When you are as random and irrational as he it is just math to expect a few jewels.

Unknown said...

steph.
let us know the final tally of haterz.

Anonymous said...

You know where the prostitute rumors come from, right? When Nigel said he used to sell pins at the Olympics, he actually mispelled a word -- he was selling penis at the Olympics.

Coincidentally, in Swaby's case, both objects are about the same length and diameter........

Trust Zillow, no way, but a $23,000 drop is pretty steep for 30 days. I guess I made your point.

Yawn. I occasionally boogieboard and scuba dive in the wetsuit my then fiancee bought me. Find a chew toy that cares. Naw, I don't mean that. Stick around. Prove yourself. Tell us who you are and why you think all these things. You know, hypocrites and all those other things you complain about do need to be exposed. The only way to do that is with honesty. Go ahead, show how it is done.

Nigal proclaims on the title of his SLC blog he is a 'real estate investor' but then goes on to say he does not have any real estate investments. I think he should relabel himself as 'wanna-be' RE investor.

I spend some time on RE carnival sites hosted by other people, posting requests for more Swaby stuff, saying that I know he is busy with busness dealing with Casey Serin, but that he is never to busy to blog. I hope he likes me speading his good name around with these requests for more Swaby . . .

Those two nights in jail sure were fun. When a butt that big weaves and staggers into the cell, the boys knew we were gonna have fun.

Maybe you can teach Casey what we showed you, before he comes to visit. Someone who enjoyed it as much as you, would be an excellent teacher.

@Beer in Germany:
When I was there, Bavaria anyway, it was 18 for hard liquor. 16 for beer. Of course, parents present seemed to be perfectly fine at any age. Keep in mind, even with beer at 16, you can't get a driver license till 18! Learn to drink before you learn to drive, as they say.

Miranda Mayer said...

That's right Nova; hence the significantly fewer deaths of young drivers overseas.

I grew up in Belgium... I could have beer pretty much when I was old enough to look over the bar to order it. The towns would hold these weekend parties in the town rec centers to keep the kids out of trouble. It was 20F a glass of beer and there were kids there 12 and up.

You pretty much are over the craziness and novelty of drinking by the time you're old enough to drive.

On the flip-side, I used to have lots of fun taking American kids out when the arrived from the US... watching them drink themselves sick and make total asses of themselves with this newfound freedom. We'd just leave them barfing, passed out on the metro and hit the next place.

Miranda Mayer said...

at the time 20F was about a quarter... Now it's the Euro though.
