San Diego Gas & Electric rates are nation's highest
It's been a good stock to own and makes money for the shareholders.— April 30, 2013 10:19 a.m.
Shocker: nation adds only 88,000 jobs in March
If a higher minimum wage is a good thing, they ought to raise it to $200/hour and the average full time worker will make $8,000/week or $416,000 a year. That will make the worker rich, the government will be able to then make the rich workers pay their fair share of taxes. Raising the minimum wage should be a win/win for both parties.— April 7, 2013 11:30 a.m.
Bubbles: Greenspan, Bernanke could have learned something in San Diego
The purpose of Wall Street is to make money for the exchange members, the investment bankers, and the insiders. It's always been that way since the days of the old Buttonwood tree. Financing industry from Wall Street is still very big business with IPO's and limited partnerships, to rounds of financing. None of this has stopped. Volatility has gone up, and to some that makes it seem riskier, as it should be. There's no such thing as easy money, and if there is, then you are getting paid short odds.— March 14, 2013 9:31 a.m.

I never worked 30 hours a week as a kid as I had many other outside interests. I usually worked 7 one hour shifts a week cleaning pans at a bakery and doing the floor. I did get free bread and cakes etc. I also worked off the books and did not enjoy the minimum wage, but that's the way things were.— March 1, 2013 1:39 p.m.

Don, in that year and a half I did not spend a single dime even for a soda, as I was focused on saving $800 for a ham radio transceiver.. I earned $800 and I saved $800. I was taught thrift starting when I was 4 years old and got my first savings account. FWIW, I still have the radio and it has served me well and is worth more than $800 today.— March 1, 2013 6:48 a.m.

Interesting in that you rarely find an out of work baker, cake decorator, pizza guy, meat cutter, good auto/truck mechanic. Those positions are always hiring during any economic conditions. Pay might not be the greatest, but it's enough to live on, and is honest work.— February 28, 2013 12:11 p.m.

Yes, I know exactly how much inflation has devalued the dollar, and my $800 saved over a year and a half would not be worth $12K. My $800 if all saved in one year, 1969, would be worth $5101.40 according to the Minneapolis Fed which has a nifty calculator on their front page. http://www.minneapolisfed.org/— February 28, 2013 12:07 p.m.

Holy crap, a 14-18 year old makes $12K a year? That's insane. Back in the late 60's, when I was 14-15, it took me a year and a half to save $800, and that was good money back then.— February 28, 2013 5:20 a.m.

Visduh, here is one Amyway product that is best of breed. http://www.amway.com/Shop/Product/Product.aspx?... And Don, here's a good example of Wal-Mart's anti-social business activity(which I really don't understand, as if low prices, profits, and competition are anti-social).http://nhregister.com/articles/2013/02/09/news/doc5116b955dbcb4370260573.txt— February 11, 2013 2 p.m.
