Bump.... i like to check in on this every 10 years. Appears Joe is up 300 percent or so since i called Einhorn out for being wrong Nov 5th, 2010. Shelly, not sure if Intel is still selling personal computer chips i think they are. I'll check back in 2031, we'll know in 2060 which one was...

Thanks for the passive insulting missive. You are now free to groupthink with your buddies about how to make highway 30A a regular commercial highway in need of speed and suitable for a Fairfield Inn.

Sorry you don't follow my logic Seagull. a diagram may be helpful here. just trying to point out that I wholeheartedly agree WITH YOU that LSV's shouldn't be on the bike path, and that that is not a "whine" so don't apologize; the same way it wouldn't be a 'whine' to say that we hate it when...

110 percent correct is right. Have some friggin courtesy. I have never actually driven a golf cart or LSV down 30A, but I can't believe people don't feel bad when or if they have cars stacked up beside them, and pull over to let the onslaught through. Same thing with the tour de francers on...

seagull, I wouldn't consider obeying the law to be a 'whine'. I'm all for enforcing laws you speak of. This is just as useful as saying that you support the laws that make domestic violence a criminal offense.

ummm... like you're correct about why Collision insurance would be cheaper. Collision as you probably know is not required, and is a luxury add/rider on to the Liability Insurance you are required to carry. Since it appears you're willing to look into this analytically through math, much...

The folks who keep whining about low speed vehicles are getting tiresome. 1. Nowhere in Florida are environmentally friendly LSV's so vociferously opposed as on bulletin boards in Walton County. 2. Opponents say they're dangerous, yet insurance companies continue to beg to differ...

this is that unique time where the rich people from huntsville, nasvhille, N.O, Atlanta, Bham, agree with the good people of south walton. pitty the fool that come between those two forces - and aside from analyzing this as a battle, are you frigging kidding me that we can't keep a hampton...

yes, it's basically saying list the value of your furnishings/tangible personal property. never seen it before. its from the tax assessor.

I sincerely have an issue with letting it go though. If I owe something for the essential services, teachers, fire, police, tdc, I want to pay. I think the taxes in the area are quite reasonable, but I never knew about owing an ad valorem on my pullout sofa etc. until yesterday. Is this...

What's the deal with this form I got in the mail? What happens if you ignore it (my furnishings aren't worth squatt). Do I really need to fill this out and tell them my stuff isn't worth diddly?

... get rid of cable, switch to direct TV. Don't have toddlers pissing on piles of beer cans on turtle nests. and remember, we must periodically enforce ridiculously high drinking ages.

Andy, i won't take the bait and debate you about whether our nation is "stupid" today; following laws on the books may well be stupid, but in hindsight I wasn't much for slavery, jim crowe, or many other laws, that were changed in great time. I'm not sure this one rises to the level of need...

Kids like to do things that are edgy. Since the temperance league has pushed the legal drinking age up to 21 from 18 in most US States including Florida over the last 40 years, the results are predictable. No results. In fact, since basically everyone, except those who were never going to...

Have fun. it's the most beautiful beach in america. there are a couple tiny stretches on 30A, where it's posted 40 PH instead of 35MPH, but ignore that. The little blips of 40 MPH remain, because a few local Sara Palin fans would prefer you rent a roaring 12,000 pound Ford Excrusion, for...

Ultimately, this is a part of the greater clash on 30A. 30A itself is becoming a resort, and as such construction workers etc. and folks in a hurry are either going to need to adjust to this fact, even though legally it's not a planned unit development. It's actually more dense for much of...

I'm tired of arguing for LSVs as some sort of panacea. I am thinking the best car for 30A is not an LSV, but something that can keep up with traffic. A Jeep sounds appealling, but I think the best is actually a Fiat 500 -in the soft shade of green, with tan drop top. Not much more money...

Yes, that's literally what ALLSTATE is telling us through their rates. They are telling you that the risk of monetary damages from bodily injury is calculably lower in the gerrymanderred golf cart/lsv, than it is for vehicles with velocity/weight/force potential that is multiple times...

I do appreciate that you are concerned for safety. No quarrel with your intent and concern. Its just that Allstate et.al are in disagreement with your assessment. Insurance companies underwrite liability risk on these, which includes bodily injury. IN the history of insurance...

a couple of months ago, when i was at band camp in Seaside, I saw a lady in her 40's pile into a Nissan Armada with her friends, after having shots and martinis at bud and alleys. A Nissan Armada weighs about 410,00 lbs, give or take a few pounds, and depending on suspension and fuel load...

ok. enjoy that 1.3 mile stretch, that'll make a difference. There are no such inconveniences in Freeport on the other hand.

SKunkapy, well reasoned. very well reasoned, including your suggestions about the vendors etc. I think beyond regulation, one important thing is having the Vendors drill it into people's heads to PULL OVER, when going up or down 30A if there is traffic behind that can move faster than 30MPH...

I agree, don't really need to go west of Watercolor too often, we'll use our Armada or Rover to go to Red Bar because parking is so easy there as it is. West of Watercolor can remain for the brave, density between Western Lake and Elmo's is going to take a few decades to justify 35MPH the whole...

actually you have a great point. i'm not sure i'm comfortalbe with pets hanging off these things. take back all I've said. Let 70 MPH freedom reign !!!!!

Freeport doesn't have these problems. 30A, being so sought after does suffer terrible congestion, or beautifully slow traffic depending on how you look at it. I see 30A at a crossroads, and the congestion is a flash point. 30A will continue to get much more dense over the next 20...

Well, if they would just ban rentals it would take care of the other "huge problem" that others on SoWal see with tourists renting street legal golf carts (LSVs).

ok, that's inspirational ... I didn't know we were debating the desirability, need or want for all of the people making a livelihood. I guess with the false dichotomy you've eloquently, yet confusingly constructed, all those folks are now in agreement with you, that the SUV shall reign...

Catmoney, you're on the money. 30A aint no highway. Guess who's better off as a result of this being the best resort in America. On the one hand, you have: the waiters who can get great tips, realtors who can make bank, lawyers who can make less bank, but charge handsomely for title...

Lenzoe, yeah, I think (not gospil here) that they do factor that in, i.e. your saftey. They've been at this for a while (Allstate et al.) One thing I learned in lawschool, apart from how to drink heavily, is that it's tough to sue yourself. Yes, Motorcycles also lead to far less...

Sure, a bigger majority don't wear seat belts in these modified LSV golf carts. but they're rolling around at 15 to 20 miles an hour, I would NOT wear a seat belt either myself. No point, I'll assume the risk, thank you, including the risk of a "ticket tax". As for drinking and driving...

Thanks for the update. 30A is a resort community now, not a sleepy "highway" connecting hamlets. Density is a given now, depending on season, and the golf cart aka LSV is ubiquitious, fun, low speed (i.e. safe) and the transportation of choice along 30A now. I would rather ride around...

Hey all, What are my options for putting Internet in a condo in Seagrove? The HOA of the building has a group contract with I guess MediaCom for basic cable. Now a days however, it seems like WIFI is more important than even cable, especially at the beach, but getting an HOA to agree to...

Again, no one really wants to retire in Atlanta. BUY

with leverage if possible

OK, folks.... only 49 years left in my trade idea. So sorry the stock is at 15 and change for folks that didn't take the 70% profit that was available only a few weeks after my last recommendation. How many years does it take to make 70% in a CD now? We're coming into that time of year...

Dilbert, sell some calls tomorrow around noon, to protect this second gift I gave you. This time by tomorrow at noon, you'll have made around 20% in three weeks. sell some calls

'completely wrong' ok dilbert. you don't like 40% gains in 12 weeks, just because the pick comes back to test the bottom. Setting aside the fact that I outlined a 50 yr hold period, if you make 40% on anything in a couple months, take profits. As far as JOE goes now. Now, again...

BRCM long, short INTC. You're welcome, this ones a freebie.

totally agree with this statement. it has to have character, and the exterior needs to be designed or purchased and remodeled by someone other than the people who choose the Big Blue signs for 30A. Needs to be open air... with a bike rack on front would be outstanding. Imagine a...

homeboy, are you Shelly's alterego? We haven't heard much from Shelly since his "wager" with me regarding JOE back about 5 months ago.

Is this about the Commodore's Retreat?

what are you upset about? Are you upset the stock has gone up 30% already? The stock was a leading indicator on February sales figures you're seeing now. Sorry dude. Sorry the sky isn't falling for South Walton, people love it. I've got 49 years and 7 months to go for this holding, we'll...

Picking stocks is risky, for the broker, or so goes the thinking currently. Oh yeah, forgot that they don't even call themselves "brokers" anymore. Brokers (now called Advisors or any other number of names except Stock Broker) don't like to pick stocks (i.e. earn their fee) anymore. The...

i think they're exempted as a hotel

Buzz, is this your recommendation still? At least you're consistent, JOE's gone up 25% in a couple months time, but you still don't like it. Anything you do like? Do you like INTEL? I hate INTEL, I think they're screwed actually, as computing moves to the cloud, and so the device at the...
