Cat: Once again it is truly difficult to understand what you are attempting to say by your incoherent comments / gibberish. If you posted in plain English and complete sentences, it might.....might but I cannot say for sure.....help get your points across.
I don't know why you are so concerned about a market downturn. As you've said, you are mostly and have been for years, in cash. A 30% downturn would not bother me whatsoever. And I doubt that it would bother many true income (dividend / distribution) investors. I can see though how such a decline might scare someone who needs a 10%+ return on their money to pay their bills and who relies solely on trading the market to make those returns. Especially when they won't go short. That wuld scare me too. But for those dividend investors who just cash their dividend cheques / checks or better yet don't need that money and reinvest it and who would benefit from a market decline, share prices don't mean a whole lot.

_"Eugene’s apartment dwellers will be hoping to save enough to move out of Eugene"_ -- Henry Licks
You are largely right. "Metro" has figured out, and now includes in their computer modeling software, that constraining developable land increases housing costs and leads to shift in demand. Among the most important strategies to mitigate this is _pragmatic_ approaches to supporting alternative forms of housing (e.g., courtyard cottages) that can be profitable at a reasonable cost and that have function and features that appeal to at least some segment of the "single-family housing" market.
As I explain above, Eugene Planning staff have done nothing but produce marketing hype and a disastrous, sweeping zone change that would have accomplished nothing other than net loss of some affordable single-family homes in a close-in neighborhood.

If I did not feel these were somewhat inappropriate for 80 year old's... I would not be still replying here...
RoB is failing to specifically address issues around capital preservation (with income) for seniors...and this article is a perfect example.
If we get a 2007/8 type of correction again, the last thing they need is a 40% loss of capital from being in this high flying and rate sensitive "niche" sector..
A 40% loss does not feel so great when you are 70/75 etc.
It would be far safer at 75 to have at least 50% reset preferred's/laddered corporate bonds/GIC's etc

You didn't deal with anything I said. You are misrepresenting me by responding to arguments I did not make.
I feel for your cousin's plight but his or her physical deformities are irrelevant to the topic and do not change the fact that sex is a binary physical reproductive role which has nothing to do with "gender identity", opinion, preference, or lifestyle.
Your comment about "trans people" being "more likely to be the victim of violence, not the ones causing it" is a straw man - I never even insinuated that "trans people" are dangerous or violent.
I never said or implied that "trans people" are "are coming for your daughters and wives". That's a false accusation which you then build on to further falsely imply a parallel between my arguments and irrational racism.
Your comment about my Bible belief is a red herring. It is completely irrelevant to anything I said. Nevertheless, it belies your misunderstanding of how Christian morality works. | [

The reason they want to take our PFD checks this year is because they are supposed to be around $2500 each and next year $2250 each...so they take our biggest ever checks so they can decide how to handle it...seems to me they haven't done a good job of handling it so far or we wouldn't be in this mess...there are other ways ...i hope this doesn't pass. In times past the people always got a vote when it came to touching the PFD...what happened to that? | [

Sad to see your best friend continue to take advantage of you! Is it possible for the University to purchase land where the stadium (new) is being built so they can call that their own? West O'ahu is the best idea but I think we'll lose many of those fans who live in town, east O'ahu, and further. There is no win-win situation here. Just think like Costco Wholesale. They don't sell rolls, and they have their own brand of liqueur, alcohol, toilet paper, rolls, their own bakery, food court, etc. Why pay someone else when you can do it/build it yourself. See you in September in Halawa if the stadium is still standing! | [

Suzie wants to limit competition to keep prices high and the value of her permits high.
Don't be fooled by her lies that the laws of supply and demand don't apply.
The only reason this won't pass is if voters get confused.

This ballot measure will repeal it.

Thank you for pointing that out. I was just wondering if CNN or the Washington Post would research the dissertations of every other government official or everyone who is nominated or appointed to a government position in the interests of fairness and balance?

Caviar%20Emptor says "- GTA is still massively overpriced in relation to financial fundamentals. INCORRECT"
Unless you uses the fundamentals the banks use, Housing Expense Ratio
What is 'Housing Expense Ratio'
A ratio comparing housing expenses to before-tax income that is used by lenders to qualify borrowers for a mortgage. The housing expense measure includes mortgage principal, interest payments, property taxes, hazard insurance, mortgage insurance and association fees. The limit is generally 28%.
http://www.investopedia.com/terms/h/housing_expense_ratio.asp#ixzz4qi6aaJ9P
A 1.2 million dollar detached home with a 200,000 down payment, leaves a million dollar mortgage. At 2.94% (a rate soon to disappear) the monthly payment is $5,086.72. Add 500 for everything else. To get that mortgage the buyers needs a monthly gross of 19,952 bucks. 240Gs a year.
The average Toronto family makes 68,110. Quite a fundamental gap. | [

I feel exactly the same, Elise. The concept of customer service has long gone by the wayside; now it means the customer serves the business/vender. Airlines are especially bad because they have the power of the federal government behind them. Remember when a gas station attendant used to fill your tank and clean your windshield? For the price of oil and gas now they should be licking the grime off with their tongues. But I digress. I for one am sick of being treated as though a business is doing me a favor to take my money. As a result, I only patronize such businesses when I have little to no choice. My money goes to businesses that appreciate mine. | [

They would also have been amazed that they could go out on the street and pray without getting crucified; that they could build a permanent church and not improvise in a catacomb, effacing every trace after they were through; that they could dedicate their human talents in art and craftsmanship to produce something lasting and beautiful for God and, in doing all that, welcome Christ into their hearts and bodies. I realize they would have been thunderstruck; I also think it is somewhat puerile to imagine that human beings don't aspire for something more beautiful and lasting as a testament to what they deem important. | [

Worst President Ever!!! Nazi sympathizer. "I watched the tapes real closely. Closer than all of you," claimed Trump at the mess of a new conference. Did you see the Vice news video where the racist psycho Christopher Cantwell talked about your son in law being a "dirty Jew" and wondering how you allowed him to marry your daughter? Guess he missed that one, or is OK with it?
What a lazy weirdo. The man does nothing except play golf, fart around, and work hard on increasing his obesity. And now Trump is back on the golf course. 55th day golfing since taking office.
Are we tired of all this winning yet?

Scratch that. It's going to be another 30 days because, at the 30 day mark, CC started tossing out ridiculous "uncivil" comments. Here's two of them word for word. I've got screencaps if wanted.
"Liberalism is a mental disorder." (This is the exact title of a book written by Michael Savage)
"Are you serious? Why isn't the police union not protecting their members from harm? Pull your head out and ask why Republicant legislators aren't protecting Alaskans from criminals that are permitted to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights to kill people."
The other one, which I didn't screencap was something about "providing ammo to get rid of scum like them" which referred to prisoners of some sort.
Yeah, I know I'm venting and I have a second account to write with but CC is IMO really a poor, poor system at judging what is and is not "civil."
I guess it's time to exercise my plan of just voting "No" for everything since there doesn't seem any other safe path that is reasonable. | [

The second last paragraph on "consent" and "veto" seems logically incoherent. In those cases where consent is not required, it trivially follows that there is no veto, but in other cases where the author says consent is required, that amounts to a veto if there is no consent and consent isn't forthcoming. So consent is a veto, contrary to what the author says. | [

From Wiki:
Jamaat ul-Fuqra (alternatively Jamaat al-Fuqra) (Arabic: جماعة الفقراء, "Community of the Impoverished") is a terrorist organization of mostly African-American Muslims based in Pakistan and the United States. Some of the approximately 3000 members have planned various acts of violence, often directed at rival factions. Two Al-Fuqra members were convicted of conspiring to murder Rashad Khalifa in 1990 and others are alleged to have assassinated Ahmadiyya leader Mozaffar Ahmad in 1983.
The group itself is not listed as a terror group by the US or the EU, but was listed as a terrorist organization in the 1999 Patterns of Global Terrorism report by the U.S. State Department. It operates two front groups: Muslims of the Americas and Quranic Open University. They also have been known to operate in Canada and the Caribbean. | [

Unfortunately, you don't know church history. People in the days of the Apostles and in the centuries following, SELECTED [aka voted] their own presbyters [pastors], bishops and yes, popes. We had a number of saints selected to be bishops and popes---all selected by the people. The very word 'priest' was not used until about the 5th century AD, after the time of Constantine. This was the time when the Roman rule in the West was beginning to crumble, barbarian invasions were almost constant and the Dark Ages were descending upon Europe.
Secondly, Vatican II did not cause a 'dramatic reduction' in the number of priests or religious. The 1960's was a decade of seismic changes, which brought about changes in entire societies in the Western world, with 1968 being the MOST dramatic. The 1960's was the FIRST decade of the post-modern era----and that has just continued to evolve. Kids don't live in green houses. They are as much a part of today's society as anyone else is. | [

I disagree. ISIS sent out instruction to sympathisers. Anyone who follows those instructions is de facto an ISIS terrorist. ISIS does not need to plan them or have a direct involvement, they don't need to.
Which is not to say there is no distinction to be made between serious plots carried out by organized people, and some mentally deranged young person stumbling through some half-baked attempt as a lone wolf. | [

Weight and balance calculations are simple and should be calculated for EVERY flight. You should ask the pilot if he's done the W&B calculation before you get in the plane. if not, don't get in that plane because your life may depend on it. also did the pilot weigh everything and everybody that is going to be loaded into the plane? if not then the W&B can't be calculated. | [

"We will stand by the Governor as he searches for answers to the crime wave." says Senator Kelly.
Where the heck has Kelly been the last three years as the crime wave grew?. And just what is your job Kelly?..if the Governor is doing the one doing the searching? Oh I remember,..it`s to continue to be against broad-based taxes once again for Alaska, for any reasonable fix he comes up with, as your Senate caucus has said for four special sessions "there will be no tax bill to raise revenue" for whatever "fixes" you say we need, and that the Governor searches,,..without you apparently. They say in the media your back-pedaling now, that your now willing to have the debate over the need for a tax to put this state on a balanced keel going forward. We`ll see if your oily conflicted fellow senators agree. Voters are watching, and want a plan to fix this crime/budget issue. If it takes more cops and new taxes to get it done then let's do it. We had a tax before and nobody died from it. | [

I once had an editor while a reporter for the Anchorage Daily News. He was the first white guy who was able to say “old white guy” in a matter-of-fact kind of way that I would never forget. It had an odd kind of ring to it. “Hell, he’s just an old white guy,” he’d say.
I asked him once what he meant by that. He said: Some of these old white guys are racists and bigots and they’ll never change their minds about anything. Stubborn old white guys.
Yes it does have everything to do with race. You figure it out. | [

Here's my take. Re-sign Holland & Neshek each to a 1-year deal, re-sign McGee, and let Chatty go. Re-sign Lucroy. Platoon Desmond and Cargo at 1B, and say so long (but thanks) to Reynolds. Pay the money to sign Japanese pitching/hitting phenom Shohei Ohtani, if he comes to America. | [

I'd say the desperate are the Gurber left wishing they could hide the Hillary record of what amounts to racial bigotry in exploiting the Haitian people.

Did Obama register as a foreign agent in the UK while he was campaigning against Brexit?
Did Trump register as a foreign agent in Israel while he was doing campaign ads for Netanyahu? Was their any quid-pro-quo?

Is anyone else puzzled by the fact that the country that is the biggest beneficiary of Trump's election is not under investigation, but Russia is?. It looks like AIPAC really does run Washington. | [

Some of the Liberals' measures have been worthy of support. The child tax benefit, reduction in personal income tax in 'middle class' incomes, small business tax cut for example. That said, if they can't at least constrain spending at this high point of the cycle, they never will.
Where's all that 'economically stimulating' infrastructure spending that the deficits were purposed for? Trudeau's deficits were not intended for bloat in program spending, but here we are, bloated again.

I was talking about the world. I am not going to argue that knowing French in France or Quebec will always be more important than knowing Mandarin.
As non European countries get advanced their languages become more important. As a first language, Mandarin/Cantonese is spoken by 15 times more people than French. | [

"This program applies province wide, not just in the Vancouver area, so there are places where people will benefit from this that don't live anywhere near Vancouver."
Sure, but the Lower Mainland and the Victoria area are both very expensive, and increasingly so. These two areas represent nearly 2/3 of the province's population.
Having grown up in smaller communities in BC, I'm not one to discount their needs at all. But government policy fixation - at all levels - on encouraging market participation and preserving high prices is de-diversifying our provincial economy and harming the future of communities where the majority of British Columbians reside. | [

Why would a grieving family invite their congress critter over to listen in on a condolence call from the president? That in itself makes no sense. I doubt she showed up uninvited. This sounds like a set-up on many levels. | [

The hypocrisy of the federal Liberals is off the chart and Goodale just proved it. In response to Wall's condemnation of the new carbon tax, Goodale replied that all of the taxes collected would go back to the province to use anyway they wanted. Wow! So this tax has NOTHING to do with reducing CO2 (assuming that C02 was a problem to begin with) because if it was, then the feds would want to make sure that it was used to reduce C02. Instead it is way for the federal Liberals to tax Canadians and then give it to the provinces so that the Liberals can look like they are resolving the issues that the provinces have with federal funding. And does anyone really thing that 100% will be returned to the provinces? This is a huge shell game!
Never mind the fact that BC has had a carbon tax for the last 5 or 6 years and C02 has increased.
C02 is NOT a pollutant and is more than set off by the forests of Canada. C02 improves growing conditions all over the world | [

Check his criminal history take a look at his Facebook. And I said gangsta wanna be, I've lived that lifestyle and was lucky enough to get out with my life while some friends were not. Its pretty easy to spot. And I called that stupid white kid in the valley that murdered that 16 yo the same thing.
But I would assume that you like to try to shame people from your high horse and sanctimonious accusations. Do us all a favor and go back to the states | [

This family should have the right to determine at which time resuscitation measures are stopped.
But
OHIP as a public payer system should also be able to set utilization standards. In this situation where treatment has been proven to be unable to restore meaningful function in other words, the treatment is futile, OHIP should be able to defund the service.
I am confident the day after the $10,000 /day ICU bills are no longer paid by the state, the family will reconsider their religious obligations to keep this man in the ICU unresponsive for thinnest decade. | [
