Cranking in '07 - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Hey Guys

I looks like we're in for another banner year. I know lots of you are stock market genuises so how about a few tips from the crowd?

I'm thinking about learing a little trading. Any suggestions?

Hi Curtis,

I have a good stock tip, but unfortunately it only applies in The Netherlands as far as I know. The stocks of all the maritime engineers here have been going up for months now, and are predicted to keep doing so. I guess global warming, and the subsequent rise in water level, are paying off!

Kind regards,
Charl

Hey Charl thanks for the tip! So what are the maritime engineers working on new dikes and sea walls to stem the flow of rising ocean levels or something? Do you invest in these companies? Any company names you can think of to steer me in the right direction for research? Thanks bro.

Looks like this gravy train is just gonna keep roll'n along. At this rate we'll probably hit 13,000 on the DOW by July. Ye-ha!

Check out the price of oil too. One thing I was glad to hear Bush talk about in the SotU Address was weaning ourselves off of foreign oil. We need to wean ourselves off of Illegals here too.

Just like the PhDs that told us that last summer/fall would be the worst in history and we had none (thankfully - I'm in the Melbourne, FL area), the brainiac market pundits swore we'd have $100/barrel oil by now and $5/gal at the pumps. I'm paying $2.05.

So who REALLY knows what's going on? Nobody?

Don't think I'll be going to the beach today. With global warming and all, it'll hit about 55 today. Normal is 72. 'Nuf said.

Whereas here in Yearp, there was supposed to be no-one left to buy gas anyways, since we were all supposed to be long dead from H5N1 bird flu.
I am a consultant paid to get my stuff right. So why are those doh-brains who came up with those way-out predictions paid even chewed dates?

Puzzled.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
