25 Year Old Beauty Seeks Rich Banker 05/10/2007 following exchange took place on Craigslist - don't miss investment banker's response 'What am I doing wrong?' Okay, I'm tired of beating around the bush. I'm a beautiful (spectacularly beautiful) 25 year old girl. I'm articulate and classy. I'm not from . I'm looking to get married to a guy who makes at least half a million a year. I know how that sounds, but keep in mind that a million a year is middle class in New York City , so I don't think I'm overreaching at all. Are there any guys who make 500K or more on this board ? Any wives ? Could you send me some tips ? I dated a business man who made an average of around 200 - 250K. But that's where I seem to hit a roadblock. $250,000 won't get me to Central Park West . I know a woman in my yoga class who was married to an investment banker, and lives in Tribeca. She's not as pretty as I am, nor is she a great genius. So what is she d...

A very beautiful advice .... A simple man tells how his booking an air ticket for his father, his first flight, brought emotions and made him realize that how much we all take for granted when it comes to our parents. My parents left for our native place on Thursday and we went to the airport to see them off. In fact, my father had never traveled by air before, so I just took this opportunity to make him experience the same. In spite of being asked to book tickets by train, I got them tickets on lufthansa. The moment I handed over the tickets to him, he was surprised to see that I had booked them by air. The excitement was very apparent on his face, waiting for the time of travel. Just like a school boy, he was preparing himself on that day and weall went to the airport, right from using the trolley for his luggage, the baggage check-in and asking for window seat and waiting restlessly for the security check-in to happen.He was thoroughly enjoying himself and I, too, was overcome with ...

A man of 92 years, short, very well-presented, who takes great care in his appearance, is moving into an old people's home today. His wife of 70 has recently died, and he is obliged to leave his home. After waiting several hours in the retirement home lobby, he gently smiles as he is told that his room is ready. As he slowly walks to the elevator, using his cane, I describe his small room to him, including the sheet hung at the window which serves as a curtain. - "I like it very much", he says, with the enthusiasm of an 8 yearold boy who has just been given a new puppy. -"M. Gagn¨¦, you haven't even seen the room yet, hang on a moment, weare almost there. " " That has nothing to do with it ", he replies. " Happiness is something I choose in advance. Whether or not I likethe room does not depend on the furniture, or the decor ¨C rather it depends on how I decide to see it. " " It is already decided in my mind that I like my room. It i...

Let's take a break from technical topics like timing systems and methods of measuring investment risk. Instead, let's focus on some of the psychological facets of investing, and what it takes for somebody to be a successful long-term investor. I think there's an interesting analogy between the way people drive and the way they invest money. Good driving schools teach "defensive driving" techniques. If you know what to look out for on the highway, you greatly improve your chances for reaching your destination in one piece. Likewise, I think it’s important to learn some techniques of defensive investing. If you know the pitfalls, you can guard against some of the roadblocks that sabotage most investors. Impatient drivers in traffic jams often pay lots of attention to what lane they are in and how the other traffic lanes are doing compared to theirs. If the other lane looks like it is moving faster, they often will swerve over to cut in front of somebody else. Some p...

long time no post ... nevertheless read thru an interesting article regarding having children as investment(thank god i still know how to read) ... some food for thought and I shall post the writing below for the benefit of mankind :) ..... In the agrarian age where agriculture was the key economy and manual labour is required, children are great assets for they can help out in the farm. Indeed, strapping boys are prized in such families! Today, some people still consider having more children to be an investement for the future. When the offspring grow up and become successful, they can look after the parents and shower them with rewards, filial respect and grand holidays. We were raised the mantra: study hard, get a good education, get a good job("Don't be like me!") and you will be success in life. By "good", they meant something like becoming a doctor, lawyer or engineer. So, we do the same thing with our children. Though we may not expect anything, we are ho...
