Sykes’ Saturday Sevenish: May 9th, 2008 Educacion
Now that prices have come down a bit, think it’s time to buy real estate in the US? Hello no! Check out what your hard earned money can buy in other countries…
Can’t wait to read badass short selling hedge fund manager’s David Einhorn’s new book…he was just on CNBC today talking about that oh so evil, unpatriotic act, impressing the hell out of just about everyone. I’m particularly pleased with him lashing out at the bastards over at the SEC. Guess you just need a few billion under management to get people to listen.
It’s time to play check out Tim’s excellent sponsors game again because they allow for such a transparent business model! Your choice of click throughs are:

Congrats Tim on that great VRML trade! I know your patience must have been tested a little bit? Great display of discipline I thought! Congrats!

1.) funny article about what $500,000 can buy in other countries, but there’s no place quite like the U.S. of A.
2.) Tim, will you add the David Einhorn book to your TimReads when you’re done? I might forget to pick it up, it sounds like a worthwhile read.
3.)meh, she is not that great. come onnnn, these networks have a ton of cash, they can surely do better than that.

Hey Tim,
Do you encourage people posting pointless posts intended soley for whoring themselves out for TIMbucks?
Sorry Ben, had to ask ;) Especially when you make it blatantly obvious

good point, sharing ideas, opinions, research and discussions are fine, comment whoring serves no purpose so Ben, this is your warning

I referenced the CNBC ‘Short & Short of It’ yesterday in the forum, but didn’t put any context around it. Thanks for the additional! I look forward to your review of Einhorn’s book. I’m ready too at once already to add another.

I’ll take the Castle but only if it comes with my money hunny and a clear wi-fi connection! actually tim your girl from wallstrip was way hotter! You should push for an interview with her again. although telling her you were shorting wallstrip may not have helped…..
