One idea that occurred to me, considering how far processors have evolved past non-content creat...

| Renting vs owning - Siderophore on 4/7/13 at 11:12 am
Everywhere I see, it is being proclaimed by many news organizations via monthly cost analysis between the two that owning is cheaper than renting.
Even I have said similar things in the past, usually revolving around the notion that renting was like throwing money away.
But now that I am pla...

| Input on portfolio allocation - Siderophore on 4/1/13 at 10:52 am
20.2% Bonds
14.1% VDC (consumer staples)
20.2% VOO (S&P500 index)
24.2% VTV (value oriented fund)
21.2% VWO (emerging markets)
This is all in a Roth with an investment horizon of 30+ years.
Main thing that was bugging me was if I should replace the S&P index with a growth oriented fund to...

| Is the staff agency giving me the shaft somehow? - Siderophore on 2/15/13 at 7:50 pm
I don't know the typical relationship between the staffing agency and a company, therefore I don't know if there is a vested interest for the staffing company to engage in certain practices.
Basically the situation is this:
I have a job listing I really like in a situation/geography that fall...

Not nesscessarily in the dome, but across the country.

The truth would get out pretty fast, but that would still be an intense couple of minutes.......

A thread on the OT was anchored and I don't know why
I can't think of a rule broken, not even the "No two word thread titles" one.
Enlighten me to the protocol?
Do we need to have an LSU board to make sure the WYHI threads don't get undue competition? :lol:
