Anyone want to get paid 100k a year to sit on the beach in Australia?

Pent up demand for yachts?

Maybe Frank is right, where is the recession? Anyone want to go 50/50 on a nice model with me? We don’t want to be left behind once yachts rebound do we?

“pent up demand for yachts”

And there is pleanty of pent-up demand for Elizabeth Hurley too, but not everyone who wants her will qualify.

I just noticed that the NY Motorbike show is not tied to the boat show. It used to be that both would run at the Javits center on the same weekedn. It seems that the boat show ran in December and the bike show is on its own. It might make parking a bit easier this weekend.

Any word on a GTG. Can I throw out Jan 24th as a date?

i love these cable plans. i will definitely be on top of this when we install cable at the new place.

i dont think i’d leave Verizon FIOS because the net is really fast. we only have five cable boxes (2 hi-def), but with internet and fax line and HBO package … it might be $200 a month.

fortunately, a lot of that can be written off as a business expense.

i usually don’t think much of your stories, john, but this one i laughed at:

The other reason I can see it is for some reason women like to talk about their day, a guy could lose a client and fire half his staff and when his wife says how is his day he says fine. But if I came home after a day like that and my wife went on and on and on about her day I would shoot myself, why don’t you think first ladies work, who can run a country when you have to listen to you wife complain about copier machine jams and misfiled paper.

Here’s a novel idea. Why not have the banks raise their rates on savings vehicles. Then the banks can turn around and make loans to businesses and individuals who want to grow the economy. Oh wait, that won’t put the smallest dent in how much leveraged crap the bank holds that would be reduced much quicker through the devaluation of the dollar. Best of all, everyone pays, not just those willing to give the bank money to lend. I love free market capitalism.

Good night folks.

Not that I’m for bailouts. Why not issue food stamps as a stimulus? Block of cheese?

The boat business is no joke to me, and a relative who inspects and builds sail boats in Conecticut. If I can find a 40ft sail boat for a reasonal price, I will buy it and stock it up with my gold bullion and fly the Jolly Rodger.

“Check the Japan playbook, they issued debit cards not cash, expiring debt cards.”

Isn’t that what FEMA did after Katrina?

Rich #73: Thanks for the info. Get this: My friend called the listing agent to try to see the house. The agent was very rude, said the house is off the market and they are “trying to get it off the MLS”. Meanwhile, the house is still on the agent’s web site. WTF does that mean?

re: #238 Stu – “will probably fail because those dollars are more likely to be used to pay down existing personal debt”

Check the Japan playbook, they issued debit cards not cash, expiring debt cards.

Bernake san read the manual he knows the game already.
