    I was sorting through the old pictures and came across one that reminded me of this forum.

    Much has changed on both sides of my modem.

    Indeed, a lot has happened since I think you last posted. Welcome back sir.

    How's things?

    Studied EE, dropped because of finances. It's one thing if I am taking out money at 0% and pimping Wall St., it's another if I actually spend it betting on this country's job market.

    So you're at a bit of a crossroads then? Which way do you feel the wind blowing?

    Emigration. I have an income from trading and predict that the US' fortunes will wane like the moon, so I'm looking at Chile or Uruguay.

    Alrek you know exactly how long it's been to the second - you count toothpicks like Dustin Hoffman.

    Stop talking about your investments if you'd made any money worth talking about you'd be fucking Cayman hookers right now instead of making "down with the West I'm bitter because I think I'm smart but capitalism has been unkind" posts in the classic Ape Fist style.

    I would not have any means of making such a calculation, nor would its result be of any value.

    I may have referenced my investments in passing on one occasion, but it is hardly a recurring phenomenon. As it perturbs you, I might just do so. Last month, I exercised my options to buy silver at $20/oz and arbitraged the difference, netting a rather decent profit with which I purchased a shiny krugerrand. The hoard grows slower than I would prefer, but the Micawber Principle is applicable here.

    Funny that you would reference a Dickens character considering you talk like one

    Given how ill-spoken people are today, I should consider it a compliment.

    If you're not careful my anus isn't going to be the only asshole on fire around here

    Alrek if you didn't laugh at that I don't think there's any chance of reconciliation between us

    I generally am not amused by threats regarding my posterior.

    Wow you didn't even get the joke.

    I'm Alrek, I'm an emotional robot and I don't know how to feel.

    It's okay to let it out, buddy.

    I don't see what is humourous about setting someone's posterior on fire.

    You guys should use your investment gains to buy a love nest or something.
