MasterCard is my choice. I had one of those 9.9% cards, but got an offer in the mail (pre-approved!!!!) for 19%!!!!!!!!!!! You can bet I jumped right on that one; yessir, I did!

Very expensive pussy.................

Watch CSCO (Cisco). I bought at 12, and should have again at 14 last week. If it goes below 15, pick some up. It should hit 20 by late spring.

Like Steven Segal once said.
"I'll never get married again. I'll just find someone I can't stand and buy her a house right off the bat"
Sorry to hear about your dealings with the ex.
I put my money in mutual funds and manage them from my PC. I switch the percentages around and look to gain a realistic 12% a year. I think the years of 30% and 40% gains are over. How these companies report their earnings is going to be closely scrutinized. No more Arthur Anderson Enron or Coastal Communications crap.

I like Real Estate, the real rough stuff that nobody wants.....it allows for big "sweat equity" if you do ALL the work yurself. You build the value into your property. It even works in a flat R.E. market.

Jimp, alittle of everything. Right now where I live real estate is HOT!! We're talking 15-20% annual appreciation. I was suprised when not 1 but 2 houses on my block sold for well over $210k. People around here are buying anything they can get their hands on. Heck, Im just trying to find a bigger place for my family and everytime I see something nice, its gone about 3hrs after the multiple listing comes out.(and my company has a realtor in our pocket...lol)
Rentals on the other hand are a dime a dozen and vacant as hell. I see 2br 1 baths near the ocean going for $1500 all the time. Makes my apartments look like bargains at $800 month for the same thing.
My UPS 401k has managed to lose 14% over the past year . Jeez, I could day trade twice and year and yield better returns then those dinks! Been loading up on MED. Made some recent 10% gains in about 1 week but Im kinda positioned for the long term now. BMC is another one to watch. Started a multi tiered investment program for my son, who is already yapping away and has a 15 word vocabulary at the ripe age of 18months!
