Fan in San Diego

Heh, thanks for the tip.

Three to six months.

To be used for other investments, I'm looking for a good place to park money safely yet earning while I'm waiting for my next investment which are more long term investments.

Reasonably safe, not CD safe, but a step up from there. Thx Chef Jim.

I was thinking the same thing.

I saw a discovery channel piece about Jesse James, the premise was that he was actually raising money (By stealing from banks) for a revival of the confederate army to rise up again and take over the south, texas and mexico. It was really interesting, they even found a cache of coins presumably buried by Jesse James. They even showed evidence that his death was staged to escape prosecution and was helped by high ranked officials.

Not among buddies.

Seems like some well places accidents could thin the herd at the feeding trough.

So Chef Jim, where would you park/invest large amounts of cash for safe keeping but yet earning some money as well?

Hope this helps. The Fifth Amendment 'can be asserted in any proceeding, civil or criminal, administrative or judicial, investigatory or adjudicatory; and it protects against any disclosures which the witness reasonably believes could be used in a criminal prosecution or could lead to other evidence that might be so used.' Kastigar v. U.S., 406 U.S. 441, 44-45 ('72). A reasonable belief that information concerning income or assets might be used to establish criminal failure to file a tax return can support a claim of Fifth Amendment privilege. See U.S. v. Rendahl, 746 F.2d 553, 55-56 (9th Cir.'84).

My ilk? And what is my ilk? What's a progressive tax vs. regressive tax?

After reading the other thread where 49% of people dont pay federal taxes. Maybe dropping federal income tax altogether and implementing a 10% Federal VAT would be fair all the way around.

We need more lions roaming the streets.

I remember an incident like that at the Niagara Falls bridge crossing. An Indian family was visiting the American side when grandpa died on the trip in the states. They tried to drive back across the border back into Canada with good ol dead grandpa. There slipup was that he couldn't answer the border guard when asked his nationality. You can't make this stuff up.

You need some new material to sling around.

If there is a run on OT's then there will be top talent at another position, like DL for instance.

Meg something or other is the former CEO of EBay, running for governor of Calif. That should make her qualified? I'm not so sure. EBay was going to grow like crazy no matter who was at the helm. She has no experience managing a ship in trouble.

Ya Tyson is the dumbass in this scenerio, Boston Rob had the fool proof plan that Tyson just couldn't stick to. ,

There should be a minimum education and IQ level to be elected in the senate or congress. Really we can't have people this stupid making decisions. Maybe there is a requirement? DC Tom I'm sure you'd be happy to inform me if there is.

Wow, they had to dig a deep hole to get the bar that low.

If you have to be alive they can make you stand in front of the scanner and then kill you.

You pissed in my pool many times during summer vacation.

Your not enamoured by the fact that I am god and all knowing and all powerful ?

Good analogy Lori.
