    Sell the Castle and 50 acres to a hotel group that will gloss over any due diligence because they are star struck and keep the remaining land. There is a lot you can do with 350+ acres.

    At 3/4: The point of the post is rather simple, Russians are claiming that they cannot control what their companies do or put restrictions on them as they are handcuffed by the letter of the law. However, this could not be more hypocritical as the Russian Government if they want something or do not like you will show up at your door unannounced, take over your business, confiscate all of your assets, and throw you in jail or if you’re lucky just throw you out of the country. So to say that they cannot guarantee that they can adhere to a framework such as OPEC or stay in line with output cuts is simply laughable. They are the Russian Government, they do what they want.

    @137 – What is the point of teaching if all you are doing is teaching a bunch of future teachers? People who make statements such as this are blind and I don’t realize why they are on this Blog to begin with. Don’t teachers, car salesman, construction workers, etc. realize that if Bankers salaries are being adjusted downwards than so will theirs? What happens to a teacher’s salary if the state and local governments are bankrupt? Unfortunately teachers are going to be let go at alarming rates and class sizes will rise. But wait this won’t happen because municipalities and states will be bailed out as well in the form of federal assistance, tax raises, etc. In short to the guy who cuts the fucking grass for the county, you better choose your words wisely because your time will come and after all you are paid by the government anyways to begin with.

    How about a picture of Steve Mcqueen jumping the fence in The Great Escape with the caption: "put a fence in front of these men...and they'll climb it..." http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2218629120/tt0057115

    @27 - You are the fucking joke. Granted the FOFs that were invested in Madoff should be ashamed of themselves because they obviously did not do any real work, however, many FOFs do perform the real work and avoided this guy like the plague. It is evident that if you do work at a hedge fund you do not understand the importance of FOF’s, at a minimum they provide capital. Somewhat essential to running your business don’t you think?
