No Soup For You, Donovan McNabb. Some for LaDainian Tomlinson, though.
Actually, Barbara Bach was much better in the film than either Ringo or Quaid!!!— October 19, 2008 10 a.m.
Divorces in the News
According the London paper The Sun, they are close to finalizing their divorce and Guy Ritchie has told his lawyers he wants “not one penny” of her estimated £300million fortune. We'll see how long that stands up.— October 18, 2008 3:43 p.m.
The Mayor’s Financial Retreat
I believe the SDCTA is a non profit and not supported by the city or county. They seek individual membership donations and corporate donations as well. Since it describes itself as a public policy institution, one would think that would preclude the city from being involved especially when you consider the SDC stands for San Diego County not San Diego City. I would imagine that accomodations for Sanders and crew was taken care of by the SDCTA. Still, a nice little paid vacation none the less.— October 18, 2008 3:30 p.m.
Ben Bernanke, Henry Paulson prepare for bank bailout
# 31 just sitting back, hoping and praying things change accomplishes nothing. Since you have expressed your disdain for both major parties, calling them both corrupt, perhaps it's time you expanded your field of vision. Perhaps it's time to look towards 3rd party candidates, and not just in a presidential election. Being a member of one of the 2 "major" parties does not grant one exclusivity to the good ideas and leadership values we desperately need. Or perhaps it is easier for you to vote for the lesser of two evils, an apathetic vote at best, thus promoting the propagation of the culture of corruption and greed. And then simply hope and pray things get better.— October 17, 2008 10:03 a.m.
Ben Bernanke, Henry Paulson prepare for bank bailout
#1 Paul Krugman has stated many times in the past that he has no intention of or interest in giving up teaching at Princeton or writing for that matter. Warren Beffett will NEVER work for the government. The disclosure policies required during the vetting process would be extremely "inconvenient" And, no disrespect intended Don, Don Bauder is a journalist and investigative reporter. He's not an economist, award winning or otherwise.— October 15, 2008 12:57 p.m.

Moped Mishap Costs NBA Star Millions
The Utah franchise originated as the New Orleans Jazz and the owner kept the nickname when he moved the team. Because of the financial losses, mainly because of negotiating a horrible arena lease, the owner defected to Utah. SLC had a pretty good ABA team that fans came to watch and his wife had roots there. The first home win for the Jazz in Utah came against, of all teams, the San Diego version of the Clippers.— October 14, 2008 12:06 p.m.
Bauder recommends to go short in San Diego real estate
response to #22: Actually, over the last 100 years, October has finished with an average .15% gain for the month. Don't forget that even after the 22+ % loss on black monday, the Dow recovered to finish the year with about a 2 1/4 percent gain . I think the Dow closed @ about 13,200 on December 31st, so I think 5000 + in the next 11 weeks or so is not going to happen. November,December and January have the best 3 consecutive gain averages so maybe the light at the end of the tunnel is the train on the other track, not the one we're on. I'd like to say I gave Warren really good advice, but in reality I have had great advisors. Twenty five years ago I was told if I stuck with companies that either made products consumers would need or sold the products consumers needed, over the long period they would do fine. Obviously I oversimplified, by you get the idea. Like I said, the next week or so is going to be very interesting indeed.— October 10, 2008 11:48 a.m.

Responce to # 19: I misquoted myself after misreading my notes. I believe I meant to say October is the start of the historcaly best quarter, the 4th quarter.And the way this month has started, that seems a tall order with almost a 25% loss in the last 8 trading days. This comes right on the heels of historicaly worst month of September. I still think the Dow has a hard landing of 7500-7800 at close before we see an actual capitulation and things begin to recover for real, albeit very slowly after maybe one big rally day. When my grandfather died, he left me a small inheritance, with I was able to have either at age 25( I think I was 14 at the time) or when I graduated from college. I waited until I got out of grad school then took the money and invested it over the next couple of years.With some very, very good advice, I bought 50-100 shares of about a dozen or so companies. PG happens to be one of them. KO, and WMT are a couple of others. Thank god I never bought any financials. I'm concerned about the losses the market has suffered. But since my intention from way back when was not to touch the stock until age 59 1/2, I'm not panicking......not yet anyway. I still have over 8 yrs to make up the loss. But if the Dow should keep going down past 7000,that may change.— October 10, 2008 8:31 a.m.

# 11 The dow fell below 8000 6 minutes into today's session. Two minutes later it was in the 7800's. Right away I ran outside and looked up and saw...............that the sky was not falling. Five minutes later it was back up to 8400. Panic is the cause for the selloffs in the last week or so. No one is paying attention to the fundamentals. You can either hang on and ride it out or sell, sell, sell and run for your life. With this amount of market volatility who can say. Let's see how it plays out.— October 10, 2008 6:49 a.m.
