Yes on the franchise, no on day trading. You could lose your ass day trading. If you were going to DIY on investments, I would pick a stock with growth potential, but also a history of dividend payouts (if you are looking for income).
Also all debt would be paid off before any of this.
Agreed on never selling your dudes out. Ive had some friends leave me out to dry, and give the GF way too much info on my activities, or whereabouts.
They arent that great of friends anymore.
Ive not built a really fast car, but I have an itch to build a C5 with a 402 or 408. Prices are low enough now I might have to strike.
However, bikes are a cheaper alternative, and they deliver as much, if not more of a rush than cars.
see, if I were a mod, I would let threads like this drag out a bit further. in the winter you have to give "fail" moments more time to flourish, whereas in summer they are quite abundant.
