  • Should You Invest in Goldman Sachs (GS)?   16 years 7 weeks ago

    It is sickening to see this blog, that I have turned to for SOUND financial opinion in the past, has turned into this type of speculative and unfounded advice/recommendation/advice RAG.

    If you asked me 3-4 months ago if I thought Wise Bread was the type of site to bring speculative, and likely insolvent advice to their readers, I would have laughed at the thought.

    And yet, today, here we are. wisebread has always SEEMED to be the impartial moderator that steered it's users in the right direction no matter what. That let them know that there are, despite the economic situation, SOME things they could do to continue to improve their fiscal positions, no matter what the greater economic situation may be. Unfortunately (for wisebread), today is the day that I realized that they are no longer providing that third party, objective view.

    Sorry Wisebread - I might be the only one, but I'm unsubscribing. Your advice is no longer solvent, nor reputable.

  • Should You Invest in Goldman Sachs (GS)?   16 years 7 weeks ago

    Unfortunately, WC doesn't allow replies directly to his comment responses here, so I have to put this as a reply to myself:

    http://money.cnn.com/2010/05/05/news/companies/childrens_tylenol_recall_...

    Just a coincidence, but interesting.

    ---

    If you really think GS is completely innocent, you are a fool. There are at least SOME laws that protect us from the kind of fraudulent, and blatantly abusive acts they have committed. I am confident that I will be able to come back here once all is said and done, and that GS will have "paid for their crimes", at least somewhat.

    If I come back much later, and they have NOT, then mother earth help us all, since our entire economy is built on lies (ie, the world economy). Oh wait, the 'Drill Baby Drill' crowd will have already fucked Mother Earth by then, so she will be of no use. Oh well. At least we made some good money during the trip!

    Beans and rice! I like these mini english muffin pizzas, you can make them as healthy as you want depending on what veggies you put on them (or have on hand).

    I wrote a post about the Goldman situation here:

    http://baglady.dreamhosters.com/2010/05/04/my-thoughts-on-the-goldman-sa...

    I don't think they broke the law, but they are easy to blame right now. I wouldn't say that their stock is the best bet on the market now, though. Shorting Europe is probably the way to go for the short term.

  • Ask the Readers: How Do You Eat Healthy on a Budget? (Chance to win $25!)   16 years 7 weeks ago

    I buy from reduce price grocery stores (Aldi, local stores, and a food salvage/dented can store) and I'm careful to buy ingredients, not "pre-made" things. The only exception to this is at the local Indian grocery store, where I sometimes splurge on RTE meals that I can heat up any time.
    No sodas, very few snacks, very few sugary things.

    I buy rice in bulk and I eat it often. I have a bread machine, and I use it to make my own pizza dough (which is handy, because I worked at a Papa Johns for 5+ years and I know my way around pizza).

    I hardly ever eat out. And I mean that. My boyfriend and I are in graduate school and we can't afford to do so. In fact, we love making dinner together more than eating out. It's better bonding, and cooking together lets you get to know a person better than going out to any restaurant will.

    I live in Pittsburgh, and I just started shopping down at the strip district at the wholesale food places. I'll never buy veggies from a grocery store again; I got a bag of:

    4 baby eggplants
    3 avocados
    1 acorn squash
    3 chili peppers
    and 1 pint of grape tomatoes
    for $4.
    FOUR DOLLARS! Can't beat that.
    The other day my boyfriend and I brought our big blue ikea bag to that same place and filled it up with roughly 20 pounds of stuff for $20. That included 7 jalapenos, 3 acorn squash, mushrooms, a honeydew melon, two fistfuls of string beans, two full size eggplants, 4 avocados...

    If I could shop at Trader Joes or Whole Foods I would; their food is lovely! However, I can't afford it and neither can my boyfriend. I can only try to do my best with what is given to me and what I have accessible.

    Sugary snacks and deserts are special things that should only ever be eaten sparingly in my opinion.
    As my last hurrah, I would also like to add that there's nothing wrong with dumpster diving as long as you know what you're getting, where you're getting it from, and the time span in which you need to eat it. There's nothing like scoring a free apple pie (still boxed up) from a local bakery for free. Places like Trader Joes are accommodating to this; and Einstein Bagels loves to throw out what they don't sell at the end of the day.

    Turn meat dishes into stir fry with veggies whether it's lettuce, broccoli, carrots, napa, bok choy, baby corn, water chestnuts, bell peppers, and/or onions, etc etc etc! Find veggies on sale and just add it to your chicken, pork, beef, or shrimp and it'll stretch the amount of food a long way - plus taste good. Feel free to add spices or sauces to your taste.
    Apples, pears, and oranges are probably the cheapest fruit to buy and just set it out in plain sight/within hands reach (pre-washed) and you'll find yourself reaching for these when you feel the need to chew rather than head to the cupboards for chips, candy.

    (1) We mostly shop at ethnic grocery stores (Chinese, Korean, Indian), farmer's markets, etc., and cook from scratch; at general grocery stores we use coupons (< $1.00 coupons are doubled) to get sales items (e.g., olive oil, sugar, salt, whole wheat, etc -- no processed food).
    (2) We don't eat much meat (and only eat small amount of chicken, and some fish, occasionally). Instead eat beans and veggies a lot.

  • Ask the Readers: How Do You Eat Healthy on a Budget? (Chance to win $25!)   16 years 7 weeks ago

    The main way I save money is by knowing prices. And I shop around: Vons and Ralphs for sales only, ethnic market for produce, Trader Joes for staples, and sometimes a lower-priced-than-whole-foods natural market for bulk grains and cereals.

    I eat no meat except for fish so I shop the canned tuna sales and never pay over $0.44 a can. The last three cans have been free with coupon.

    I shop for fruit and veggies at an ethnic market where the prices are cheaper (and buy mostly in-season). I also buy dried beans there, preferably in bulk. They're really easy to cook--sort, drop in water, then wander off for a while.

    I grow herbs year-round and tomatoes in the summer.

    Basically, I have a low-priced, healthy diet that keeps me satiated... and I'm a food junkie!

  • Baby Carrots: The Frugal Idea That Isn't   16 years 7 weeks ago

    If you looked a little more in the article you referenced in museum of carrots which im pretty sure that was your reference you'll see that the taste of baby carrots is different because the nutritional value of the "Manufactured" baby carrots are less then the full carrots they come from because some of the flavor and nutrition comes from the skin and just under it, as it says in that article. and also there are baby carrots that are real non manufactured carrots and are baby like because they are harvested before fully matured.

  • 7 Ways My Clunker Is Smarter Than a Hybrid   16 years 7 weeks ago

    It's possible to have a car and take steps outside the car culture at the same time - you just have to not plan based on the car.

    We chose to live where we can bike/bus commute, we chose our son's childcare partially because it's near home, and we make the extra effort to choose the bike over the car when we're not sure.

    So what we have is a car that gets about 25 mpg, but we only use it for about 1/3 of our in-town transportation - that's like driving all the time and getting 75 mpg, only it's a lot cheaper (we have a $9,000 used Toyota and about $2500 worth of bikes/gear/child hauling trailer - only the bike stuff has no insurance/tag costs and minimal repair costs.)
