I got the shit kicked out of me on Division St. after puking on some guy in a wheelchair 20 years ago. I am pretty sure that was in Chicago.
Best time I ever had in the city was new year of 94. Flew in 20 friends and dropped a shitload over 3 days. I think New year was on a Sat night. It was snowing and I fell in my tux and broke my coccyx but still managed to kick some random guy's ass and go back and screw a couple of strippers.
LOL. I got tossed out onto the sidewalk from Mothers on Division Street. It took 4 bouncers to get me out of there. They had either an arm or a leg and I went out the door like Superman. Oooohhh, for the good old days
I thought about mentioning LA as an exception but people I've met in the rest of California have seemed pretty nice. But, I can see what terrorists have against New York.
"But, I can see what terrorists have against New York." It's the whole 'killing in the name of God' thing perpetuated by just about all religions through the ages. Somehow, Mohammed wouldn't like the Big Apple (or London for that matter).

Lol, you are being a bit sneaky here. For example, on another thread I made a perfectly polite comment about stops and investing, and you groundlessly accused me of owning and losing money in Enron (a company I never owned a single share of), then sarcastically mocked me: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3043419#post3043419 Then you come on here and complain about other people using unsolicited and impulsive aggression? Unless you are happy being identified as a hypocrite, you should avoid criticising people for behaviour you yourself indulge in.
Because the banks are holding many of these distressed assets and if the Fed lets the price fall the bank's balance sheet blows up and their "mark to whatever they want" accounting method falls apart. That is why the Fed is so afraid of deflation.
