BTW does anyone find it odd or weird at where technology was 100 years ago and now we are ramming neutrons together or whatever, have plans for making a contained black hole etc?? Makes me feel really stupid at times.

"LOL. I just tossed one of the first Commodores in the trash a couple months ago. Printer, monitor, programs and all. Wonder what it was worth ?"
I sold one over ten years ago for $200.

Oh cool the RTH daytrading board lol.
You don't gamble? What? You can't predict with 100% accuracy if your idea is going to pan out or not. Even the worlds best do not have that accuracy. Even a winning percentage is still a gamble there's no guarantee something won't work against you. If you were 100% you'd be filthy rich and wouldn't have time to preach, nor care, this stuff to old broke rockhounds so if that's the case you are seriously under capitalized and should seek an investor. An institution would hire you immediately with those skills.
Also-- and i'm laughing as I type this-- as this isn't a personal attack on you but more of a joke as I couldn't help but relate:
You consistently talk about the improvements in the economy and how good things are but in this thread you state "I hope it does crash" and I was like I knew it, Helen works for Goldman Sachs. LOL.

I wasn't nearly as 'in-tune' with this type stuff back then. It wasn't until after the layoffs started becoming more frequent that I spent the time to learn exactly what the hell was going on and decided it was time to get my crap together and get situated in case the big one came and sure enough here we are.
On an optimistic side, believe it or not, I have found other ways to get by and truthfully have never had so much fun in my life. That doesn't change the fact that my future plans were totally screwed but oh well.

Another blog that I like to follow: globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com/I already knew training for some other dip**** job wasn't the answer. I'm only 45 but have decided im not spending my last 20-25 years surrounded by morons.

Oh i'm def looking out for myself these days it's turned into do or die and I don't trust one word that comes out of the gov't. I'm not anti-gov't im anti the jackasses that are in control of it. I'm also not a dem or rep and hate probably 99% of the politicians if not all of them. I also believe interest rates will rise. However I am not optimistic at all about several other things that I don't care to debate that I think will negate all benefits of high rates but that remains to be seen.
As for gold I think it will crash with the market just like it did last time. It's not an investment it's an insurance policy. If you have thousands laying around you don't need go for it. In the early 2000's my grandmother died and we split a sizeable estate and I was ready to put $50k on gold in the $550 range and my professional advisor talked me out of it. So even professionals don't know wtf they are talking about a lot of the time. If they were so smart they'd be making a mint and not need a job telling everyone else what to do why would you want that headache? To help people? Yeah right try again. That's kind like hearing people say they are going to open up a Mcdonald's franchise if they win the powerball. What a stupid idiotic idea that is. But not as bad as the occasional "I don't want to win because I don't want to have to pay the taxes on it" which i've actually heard lol. Doesn't make me sound too smart being around people like that but I did work on construction sites for almost 20 years and yes a lot of them aren't very bright.

It makes perfect sense to me. Being a pessimist on the economy and markets it's my view that the markets are severely overpriced and so stocks are basically garbage. But if you'd like to keep running up the price then feel free. As for the gov't....they like to prance around preaching recovery and can't really do that with crashing markets. I don't consider anything I said bizarre however it may sound bizarre to someone with the opposite views.
I don't care to get into stock market mechanics, the direction i'm trying to take is that I believe there is no recovery, it's all bs and the stock market is just a big side show used to make everyone 'think' everything is ok and it's not.
No one can deny it's the FED's money printing that is largely responsible for this rally they will openly admit that now where at one time years ago you were looked at like a fool and conspiracy theorist to mention the PPT. We could end this discussion real quick if the Fed would come out and say "Ok no more we're cutting you all off". Then you'd truly see it for what it is.
And yes I am bitter because of the FED's crap like ZIRP has TOTALLY SCREWED my future plans and now i'm spending principle and not earning any interest all in the name of the precious stock market. In retrospect having plowed cash into the markets based on Obamas hint would've been the way to go but there's no way in hell i'd do it now. At one time before the crash I made 6 figures for several years, paid off the house and put $ in the bank. Thank god because i'll never make money like that again.
So I apologize for the insults I am just fed up with people talking about the glorius stock market when people like me are getting sucked dry to support the bs. Kinda like my sisterinlaw who unfort moved just down the road that is an RN and says she's glad she's educated implying that i'm an idiot because all I basically know how to do is construct an entire building from the ground up which is worthless knowledge to her. She confuses being educated with demand and i'm convinced she's one of the most stupid people i've ever talked to. If she were so smart she wouldn't weight almost 300lbs and be diabetic, I just loving being preached to about my health from people like that. If it weren't for guys like me her retarded ass would be working out of grass ******* hut. It just depends which side of the fence you are on, if you did well with all of this then I can see where someone might think everything is fine and dandy. It's my opinion it's not and that the high from all of it isn't letting people really see things for how they are. I'm not going to spend time posting all my opinions and data points to just argue about them I am set in my mind where things are heading and that's all there is to it.

So now you've effectively covered all bases and will be right no matter what happens. Smart move. You should be a columnist for a stock picking service:
"I can't say we won't have a 10% correction or even a crash"

Helen, your comparisons are irrelevant. This system crashed in 2008 and has been nothing but papered over since. Which market? Don't ask me such stupid questions trying to make yourself look so smart you know damn well what i'm talking about. And truthfully I don't give a shit about 15 years ago i'm talking about Today. Your logic is ill-conceived. For instance.........was the Nasdaq worth 5k back then? The answer is hell no which is why it reversed. It's a market, not a price indicator, and if a bunch of people want to plow $ into overpriced garbage then the price of garbage will keep going up. However the gov't will surely try to convince you otherwise. In 2009 Obama said this: www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/03/03/obama-good-time-buy-stocks/So now Obama is a better stock forecaster than the pro's??? It's easy to say that when you have the printing machine in your corner. They knew full well they were going to save the markets. Just because someone comes along and offers you $100 for one of your $5 trinkets doesn't suddenly mean they are revalued at $100. It means someone has too much money to spend. There is no recovery and what appears to be a recovery is all based on bs and held together with ZIRP. This economy is still on total life support and the only miracle is that people are falling for it. I'm sticking with my original thesis and without saying too much more you are correct...I believe it's not worth 1/2 what it is now and I don't care to dig up your old threads I could care less about your predictions I have my own and it's what i'm going with. Like I said before, time will tell and we both have a 50/50 shot at being a pure genius.

Now let's be fair about stock prices. If it weren't for massive liquidity injections by the FED the fraud market would be nowhere near these levels. Time will tell but i'm convinced it's not worth half it's current level. The Fed's have saved this market time after time all the way from 2009 to where it is now.

Probably meant to be used with a 1725rpm motor so you only have so many options including your megapulley. I'd replace the motor you don't have much $ in the saw as it is.

Cool. Technosaw. LOL. You should put tank tracks on it and remote servos and control it with droid applications from an IPhone. Not poking fun, I love that crap. Wait till everyone sees my mobile 36" saw, fully weatherized and built to stay outdoors.
Few thoughts......looks like bare plywood. But if it's easy to replace and you dont mind doing it and it's not a functional componet who cares. Of course the entire hood looks plywood might want to think more about that #2......as far as saw marks read the 'how to align a saw something or other' currently running on this section of the board. As far as oil leaks hard to tell without seeing in person but my first guess is you have one at the rear of the saw on the blade side. If there is you need a guard behind the blade on the inside of the tank because the blade throws the oil straight up and under the hood. It's cool if you have had the chance to watch a saw that can have the lid open while operating and see where it sprays it's kinda like an aerodynamic test.
