Payment for Illumina's patent suit loss one of nation's largest
I'm due a fat refund from the IRS, but that's due to the excessive losses.— March 25, 2013 12:27 p.m.
Payment for Illumina's patent suit loss one of nation's largest
Thank you both. Now my decision must be how to get myself out of the REITs with minimal further losses, and to find another financial manager that will be more reliable. My biggest concern is that the REIT's are going public so that we, the suckers, will have to sell the stock at a loss or run the risk of taking bigger losses. I put great trust in one of the principal people at LPL, but he retired soon after I signed up. While my losses are not insignificant, I doubt that I would have a prayer of getting enough back to pay her fees, thus increasing my losses. We are eating our retirement fund seed corn, and have been after losing six-figure amounts in the Crash of '08. Prior to that, we were fat, dumb, and happy, living off earnings and even adding to the fund balance. So, LPL ain't ALL bad, I suppose.— March 17, 2013 9:09 p.m.
Bubbles: Greenspan, Bernanke could have learned something in San Diego
Re: Don Bauder March 14, 2013 @ 2:16 p.m. "Jeff: How can you say there is no such thing as easy money when the Fed is providing short term money to financial institutions for 0 to 0.25%, and is buying long term paper to run long rates down to record low levels? If that's not easy money, then hookers and pickpockets don't have easy morals. Best, Don Bauder" Taxpayers pay the interest on the debt, not the banks. That means that we are paying the banks to take our money. Pretty slick trick! How do I become such a leech? Welfare? That will be the first to go at the first prick.— March 16, 2013 2:07 p.m.
Institutions not propelling SD home sales
Yes, good news relatively speaking, but should any place where people live be owned or controlled by what amounts to present-day corporate non-productive monarchies?— March 16, 2013 1:43 p.m.

Where else but here could I get timely information on financial matters that matter, interpreted with clarity for us, the uninitiated? As I know how hard you work, Don, I hesitate to bring it up here, but can you tell us (many San Diego investors) more about LPL's troubles, and in particular whether the REIT problems back east apply to California and what, if anything should or is being done here? I don't know where else LPL's clients are, but it would seem that might be the whole country.— March 16, 2013 1:39 p.m.
Activist sues to block private CPUC huddle
It appears that the camel is already entirely inside of the tent. And has been for a long time. Such "Commissions," "Authorities" (e.g., the Port District) and the like fiefdoms, not democratic entities. They answer to no one. Hence, the arrogance. Who's her lawyer? What's the name of the "official" quoted?— March 11, 2013 2:45 p.m.
