There's a quote Peter Thiel said a few years ago that has really stuck with me. If you don't know who Peter Thiel is, he's one of the co-founders of Paypal and one of the largest shareholder...
I've often wondered the best way to buy liabilities like homes or cars. Most people usually get loans for either of these. But is this smart? Conventional wisdom will say to just buy it cash...
Today the Dow Jones closed at 11,383. Gold closed at 1666. The ratio is now 6.83:1. Less than 7 ounces of gold can now buy a share in the Dow Jones....
In a world where stupidity and darkness reign it is comforting to know that I can still find solace in the fact that I can make money off of other's stupidity. And I don't mean this in a gre...
Here's something I thought about while waiting at a red light today. It seems in general society is geared towards the lowest common denominator. For the non-mathematical that means that soc...
