| S&P 500 All-time highs since 1950 and a generic investing rant - slackster on 5/9/13 at 3:58 pm
Since January 3rd, 1950, through May 9th, 2013, there have been 15,940 trading days. The S&P 500 has closed at an all-time high on 1,079 of those days (6.769%).
Since the S&P 500 burst through to a new all-time high on 3/28/2013, it has risen another 3.66%.
My point in all of this is that pe...

| Undrafted free agents in the NFL - what is the process? - slackster on 4/27/13 at 3:50 pm
As soon as the draft ends, are teams allowed to just sign any player they want in any order, or is there still some sort of organized process by which these teams pick up players?

| MSB "decathlon" - waiting on nominees- greatest athlete spinoff - slackster on 4/22/13 at 9:59 am
Ok, you've got to chose one "athlete" since 1950. He or she will participate in multiple events that are equally weighted. I'm not suggesting that any one of these events require an athlete to be successful, but the sheer amount of events should provide a clear picture.

| Tiger is 3 inches away from being tied for 1st right now - slackster on 4/14/13 at 12:08 pm
If we can put all of the bitching and groaning aside for a second, that 3rd shot on 15 on Friday will go down as one of the most unfortunate shots in the history of the Master's. 3 inches to the left or right and he likely taps in for a 4 and is sitting at -7 today.
Combined with his 400 degree ...

| Strategies for fishing the Rigolets? - slackster on 4/9/13 at 4:24 pm
Going out there tomorrow with a few buddies. The weather is calling for 18mph SE winds, but it seems the Rigolets should be relatively protected from a wind in that direction. Tide should be rising all day (.3 ft at 12:33 am to 1.1 ft at 3:34pm), but with the SE winds today and tomorrow, I doubt the...

| "I'm not buying stocks when they are at an all-time high" falacy - slackster on 3/29/13 at 5:12 pm
When did this become a legitimate argument for sitting out or selling? Frankly, I'm getting sick the concern with the nominal value of the indexes. To be clear, saying that stocks are expensive relative to earnings is a legitimate argument, but the nominal value is absurd. It is like saying Apple is...

My grandma is 72 and missed her RMD for 2011 ($4500). It was not her fault but rather the fault of the custodian for her IRA. The RMD for 2011 was not processed until January of 2012. When she filed her taxes in 2011, she sent in a letter from the custodian explaining that it was their fault the RMD...

I don't understand why the two have become mutually exclusive. I respect both Miles and Saban as two of the Top 5 coaches in the country. I don't want Alabama to win anything, but I still respect Saban as a coach. I find it peculiar that every pro-Miles thread seems to come from anti-Saban guys, and...

| No Miles, no Saban, no Urban, so who else??? Caveat emptor... - slackster on 11/28/12 at 11:35 am
Everytime I see someone arguing that LSU is better off with Miles, the root of their argument is that LSU would hire a slamdunk, sure fire head coach to replace him. Hell, I'm a Miles guy, but if I knew I would get Jim Harbaugh to replace him, I would be fine. But that is not how these things work. ...
