    Atw's legendary financial nouse has me floundering.

    I'm going to invest in 10,00,00 Hard Disk Drives and a squirrel sanctuary.



    I am expecting shipment of 40 TB worth of disks to be delivered today...

        With number skills like that, I'm amazed you're not a millionaire

                Still, it's a good suggestion but a bit impractical.
                I've just done this, the Florida market colapsed, and you can actually start to pick up 1/2 bedroom apartments from as little os 60K ...

                I know people living in FL. so this does help!

                    They are all cyclical. Unless you have enough money to make short term returns, there's no point.
