The Swap Meet


Recommended Posts

Just found out my property taxes are going up another 17%.last year they went up 28%,and 20% in 2001.

 

I'm gonna puke.

 

 

 

 

Called my parents for some sympathy,they told me their house just got re-assessed from 230k to 480k,their taxes just doubled instantly and my father retired 4 weeks ago.

 

Not wishing to be nosey, Mr. H, but where are you parents that the property assessment doubled?

monmouth county,central nj....1 mile from the beach

 

monmouth county is in the top 5 for home value increases in the nation.their house value went up more than 25% last year alone.

 

I sold my home there last year that was further inland for a nice profit.

 

 

 

 

they paid 190k 6 years ago....worth 450-500k now and it's nothing special really.my house I bought in south jersey is the same size but brand new,I paid $255k a few months ago

The Doors

 

Whiskey, Mystics And Men

 

 

 

Well, I?ll tell you a story

 

of whiskey and mystics and men,

 

And about the believers and

 

how the whole thing began.

 

First there were women and

 

children obeying the moon,

 

Then daylight brought wisdom

 

and fever and sickness too soon.

 

You can try to remind me

 

instead of the other, you can.

 

You can help to insure

 

that we all insecure our command.

 

If you don?t give a listen,

 

I won?t try to tell your new hand.

 

This is it; can?t you see

 

that we all have our ends in the band.

 

 

 

And if all of the teachers and

 

preachers of wealth were arraigned,

 

We could see quite a future

 

for me in the literal sands.

 

And if all the people

 

could claime to inspect such regrets,

 

well, we?d have no forgiveness,

 

forgetfullness, faithful remorse.

 

So I tell you, I tell you,

 

I tell you we must send away.

 

We must try to find a

 

new answer instead of a way.

Someone posted a chart of the defense index on traders-talk.  Anyone got any ideas why that index has been dropping so quickly?

I know this is simple but almost EVERYTHING goes down in a bear market. The only other thought would be also simple but stoolpid. We ain't goin to war. That answer is hopefull but not the thought of this stoolie. :cry:
