Yes and I do invest like Crazy and do very well at it for the most part. Lots of stuff is tied to the US Dollar but that bit coin drop off is UNIQUE. When you see anything vary like that its a RED Flag!!!!
Gold has been very very very good to me. If not for being told I could not invest in Motorola re inside info on Google buying out the Mobil operation I could have made a killing.
I used to make lots of money in Oil but of late have not figured out how to. So its mostly real estate for me these days other then Gold of course. Around here no one is buying houses re economy but those who have lost houses end up renting. Rents keep going up even with USA Economy falling so its been real real real good for me. But I have to admit I find the idea of Real Estate frankly boring as shit. Took me two full years to figure out how to buy cheep and get the places fixed up with quality work. Then finding good people to rent too. Now all of that is solved!! But what a pain in butt to figure it out + no fun at all. Making money on Oil was a lot of fun just as Gold has been super fun because that was too easy to work out the how 2's

I thought about investing in Bitcoins, but I decided to just give my money to those guys who loiter around drugstores and ask for bus fare. They're going to mail me back checks, you know.

LOL
I am often asked for money from those who beg, yet none have ever offered to return any. You must encounter a higher class of beggar then eye do.

Haha. It's so true. The mentality of helping someone when they are down is defeated by city life. I get hit up for cash 6-7 times every walk from the train station to work. It's a 10-15 minute walk.
The other night some guy in the 7-11 asked me for $.20 so he could get these muffins. I had encountered like 9 or 10 beggars already, two were overly aggressive. I told him I was using my card, and had no change (I had plenty of cash on me, which is why I didn't want to use cash cause he would have seen). He said "so use your card" then "Here, and pushed his change over to the cashier" that really irritated me so I said "I'm not doing that." and the cashier grabbed back the muffins, pushed the change to the guy and said "get out of here."
It was satisfying. I normally wouldn't have minded in that situation, but they always act like I owe them. Maybe they dont realize how often I get asked. It's annoying. I hate being lied to constantly. I dont care that they are lying, but that they think im stupid enough to believe them.
It's tiring. It's constant. It's not as bad in the morning, but it's gotten worse at night. The one guy stands outside the wawa that even put up a sign that basically says "dont feed the animals."
I don't get the "I deserve your money" attitude. Some of them are polite. One guy was really polite when I told him I had no change. So I bought him a meal next time I saw him. I saw him once after that, he just said hello. I dunno if he recognized me.
I always give this one guy in a wheelchair shit. I feel like he's ex-military but he never mentioned it, but he's a really nice guy (just a little rough, but people like that can be really chill too). He's white too, which makes more sympathetic according to research.

HAVE one good story I saw on TV the other night. San Diego cop was shot by a random suicide by cop killer the other day. Active Vet with honors and a well respected cop.
Last contact on video surveillance cam was Cop minutes b4 at Mc D's. Kid in line in front of him wanted a muffing or cookie? Was short by 10 cents - Cop bought the kid the cookie.
They tracked down the kid for interview a day later. Kid of course ended up at a ultra huge funeral. Kind of cool that the last thing he did was buy a kid a single cookie.
