Has Bud Selig/"free market" destroyed baseball?

<t>Interesting debate, what is cool is that it has been debated for many years. Check out Al Stump's biography of Ty Cobb (I think it's just called Cobb). In the 1910s Cobb went on a binge where he hit 5 or 6 HRs in about a week. He announced ahead of time he was going to do it. Then, after proving ...

I'm kicking myself now

<t>I make a big distinction between "fiction" and "literature". I do not deny their are women who are good at literature, some of the ones mentioned above, for example. I haven't read tons of these types of books, by males or females, so I can't really comment more. Except to say that Kurt Vonnegut ...

I'm kicking myself now

<t>LP, you still buy books at a bookstore? What a quaint, 20th century tradition. You do know how to spell ebay, don't you? One female author I did like was S. E. Hinton, the author of "The Outsiders" "Rumble Fish" etc. But, that was 20 years ago. I haven't read any Rowling, but I wouldn't consider ...

<t>Oh sure, make me wait through the interminable posting process again!I see your point, but you have to remember which ones he wrote first. TDC was really the formulaic copy of Angels and Demons. And they are still better than a lot of stuff out there. As much as I love Patterson, have you noticed...

I'm kicking myself now

<t>This is where the slow response time really irks me. I forgot to add one thing to my post, and it adds even more time just to fix my mistake.Anyway, LP, I liked DaVinci (I think there is a thread on here about it), and then read all of his other stuff (actually read one out of order!). Digital Fo...

I'm kicking myself now

<t>LP, I hear you, bro. But, my problem is reading them out of order, especially if they have a common character. I've read all John Sandford's "Prey series" but I couldn't start until I found the first one in the series, which was published like 15 years ago.I do have several authors that I read ev...

CFA - NY - DEC

<t>LP, the scope of the CFA is so broad, that it will definitely challenge you. You may be good in one area, but are not likely to be good in all of them.As far as derivatives, I do think the focus is on less exotic versions. For LIII this year, they had combos of puts and calls (bear spreads, bull ...

CFA - NY - DEC

<t>Agree with KTE. It is clear that they have been writing the exams based on the books. I am not enough of a conspiracy theorist to believe they go through study guides and intentionally test stuff the guides leave out - but some people do believe that.The books, while expensive, are written for th...
