You know, I’m not afraid to say one thing regarding investing (and this comes from the Benjamin Graham/Warren Buffet school of investing): I know the limits of my knowledge, and don’t try to pretend otherwise. I don’t have any special knowledge when it comes to investing. I know the basic rules of the road. As such, my guidelines are: minimize my downside by not getting involved in things I don’t understand, and be content with ordinary returns. So far, it’s worked pretty well for me.
*rob*, you would LOVE what was just delivered to the next desk: a client sent a ginormous “Hello Kitty” tin (the size of a Buick) of assorted popcorn!!
a big *F* you to the freak in the sports car who sped out of his batcave this morning and nearly ran me over!!! it was in the underground parking garage in that lame floor to ceiling window building between 4th and 5th ave. grrrr.
Every commodity has its own story, but Benson, I NEVER sell the idea of commodities to the ordinary investor. I am the most conservative and careful person about that. I only work with the trade/commercial clients who use it for insurance and with hedge funds. This is for highly leveraged futures trading. It is not appropriate for most people and I have always had a conscience.
hmmwhich – Hastings village is pretty meh compared to dobbs and irvington.
Also may be moving sort of in tandem with some good friends and they are sour on hastings.

Lech, I agree that if Westchester is in your future, I would stick with Hudson River towns. Have you completely ruled out Hastings?
Mamaroneck isn’t bad if you would consider a Long Island sound town instead, with a nice shoreline park and a downtown.
Hey all, been spending the slow season scanning some of my film from the late 1970s early 1980s. What a difference from then till now.
These are all b&w medium format images.
I have four sets…
One is the demolition of the West Side Highway, around 1982
One is the west side piers shortly after a major fire destroyed many of them, around 1980.
One is LIC/Greenpoint, early 1980s.
One is Dumbo, maybe 1985.
Dumbo I think is the weakest work, and LIC the strongest. But check out the ‘fringe’ nabes of the old days.
