But in any event is it worth putting some money into JOE now (25%) and waiting ?in view of blackstone buying Hilton Hotels ( i wonder if paris is part of the deal) is it worth buying JOE as a speculation?? I have been waiting for JOE to hit 40. Granted that HLT and JOE are separate biz models but there has been alot of activity in the reit sector regard buyouts this year and I am wondering if the next activity will be in companies like JOE or even some homebuilders who are selling at or below book value. there is an excellent research report by smith barney that was published thursday that is really good, discussing homebuilders and the recovery that THEY think will start next year. after the reset of adjustables in the next six months and the subsequent flush, maybe the recovery will start next year But in any event is it worth putting some money into JOE now (25%) and waiting ?

You got that right. Check out those black bicycle racing Presidential logo socks. Not many buyers for those.I bet those damn socks cost us taxpayers about $200.Oh my, I just noticed the hat with his dog on the front. I am the last one that anyone should take fashion notes from, but GW is the Pres. What's up with that?

Where do you find all the great pictures that you post. I have always meant to tell you that the pictures you link with your comments are always fantastic. You even found that funny picture of the guy in the aluminum 3 pointed hat when you once commented something to me.

This picture says it all. When the people in the photo look back at the pic in two years, they will realize how much they look like prisoners on work leave, and that trend of Crocs will come to a screeching halt.
The story behind that photo was that a Crocs store owner donated the shoes to a group of folks who volunteered to clean up their town.

Looks like St Joe is getting their wish for the new road going from the new PCB airport to WaterSound and 30A. It made the 10-20 priority list for the NWFTCA.

Is it really going to be a toll road? Can see that cheesing quite a few folks off!

Is it really going to be a toll road? Can see that cheesing quite a few folks off!They can always take the long way and burn more gas. I bet the long way would be an additional 15 miles through traffic. With the average Tahoe or Sequoia getting about 16-18 miles per gallon, at a cost of lets say $3 per gallon (likely much more in the future when they build the road), the costs will offset, and the short way will be much faster without as much traffic.

Funding for anything is going to be a struggle going forward--Florida doesn't have enough money to keep the lights on next year. There's been lots of chatter of allowing private companies to build toll roads in the USA--here's an article:

The Chicago Skyway and Indiana Toll system are very user friendly and well-run.....................I doubt those companies would be the ones running a toll road down here though!
I have a couple theories as to how we could be saving $$ to make budgets work without resorting to toll roads.......such as having companies that build developments with hundreds or thousands or homes in an undeveloped area subsidize the roads needed to get to them!

Shelly, we are definitely on different wavelengths. I bot some CROCs for myself this summer, but shorted the stock several days ago, when they announced they were "getting into something else" ... womens clothes or some such thing... JOE is going up. as for CROX, look out below.
oh well, CROX was up today, albeit just 32 cents. Now, today being the biggest up day in the markets in the last 4 YEARS, that doesn't seem to be much of a move up.
hmmmmm.... was JOE up today? anyone,
Bueler?
SOLD TO YOU on the CROX - probably an odd lot I'm sure

Those aren't the things I ask Santa for either .................. I don't have a beef with the Fed, but with the rampant fiscal irresponsibility that seems to be standard operating procedure for our banks and governments.

June 15, 2007 CROX did a 2:1 stock split...pre-split price was $90. Today's close on those shares was $57 and change.
JOE's share price on June 15 was $47.32. Today's close was??? ANYONE? ANYONE? Bueler?

SoWal Expert
For those with not much time left on the planet, you could have made a quick 10 % on your money this past two weeks with JOE stock. annualized, that works out to...
Which Shelly quoted and replied:
Made more money owning the stock of a company (and taking some profits off the table) that makes plastic shoes--go figure.

June 15, 2007 CROX did a 2:1 stock split...pre-split price was $90. Today's close on those shares was $57 and change.I thought your talk of purchasing and selling CROX was within the same time during the two week period when someone mentioned JOE going up 10%. You said you did better in CROX.
JOE's share price on June 15 was $47.32. Today's close was??? ANYONE? ANYONE? Bueler?
.
It is easy to find particular periods when any given stock outperforms another. How did you select June15? If that is the date you bought CROX, it is very opposite of the long term, low risk investments which you state you buy into. Help us understand.Edited

. Maybe tomorrow it'll go up and I'll wish I was in it, then it'll go down the next day and I'll be glad I wasn't in. On and on ad nauseum. Why not brag on where Joe is on a 5 minute chart rather than waiting a whole day? Beach FanaticAuthor

I agree with you completely....but unfortunately the real world doesn't work that way. The name of the game is to MAKE THE SYSTEM WORK FOR YOU. In capitalism and in a democratic society, elected politicians and markets all want the same thing.......profits, good times and the easy choices to make the most people ( voters and shareholders ) happy. Someday the music will really stop but I think it will be due to an exogenous event, not an economic event. Iran lobbing nukes at Israel will be the end of civilization as we have known it. The real problem facing the world is nuclear proliferation to the crazies.

I think you are being facetious. (sp)? But in the event you are serious, PLEASE RECONSIDER. Successful investing takes many years to learn AND the only way to really learn is to lose money which I think you would not be prepared for. I never day trade but I try to pick my spots, have a good fundamental knowledge of the companies I am interested in, have a macro opinion of the business cycle and the world in general, and then be a contrarian. It is always darkest before the dawn. Especially if you wear a straw hat with a long brim !! ;-)

Alright, Kitty, this was a serious thread. :funn: Instead of having Mr K setting you up as a day trader, I think you should have him set you up with a bottomless bar tab at the pool bar in WC.
