LazyDay Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 For your information studies have shown an inverse correlation between earnings and intelligence. Think about it: how much does the head of research earn compared to the head of sales? How much does Steven Hawkins earn compared to David Beckham? I remeber a "Test the Nation" where the highest earners had the lowest IQ and the highest IQ was found to belong to some unemployed chap. Get real: in general salary is to do with who you know, not what you know. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Now I know it is in the wee hours where you are, but I must take exception to that. All the census statistics and studies I have seen show the opposite, at least if you use education as a guide. Perhaps you have anecdotal evidence to the contrary, but the statistics do not lie. More education = more money. (up to a point and in general).Part of being intelligent is learning and using office politics to your advantage. If you wish to call that "who you know", then so be it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think you are both right actually. Schooling does increase occupational standing and income (for instance Chamberlain and Griliches (1975), International Economic Review), but up to a point. I doubt that PhDs are making more money than Masters of the same age in this country unless they really want to. And intelligence is not a factor here – people self-select in schooling according not only to their intelligence but to their priorities in life in general. So, Steven Hawkins, probably, did not have a priority in his life to earn like David Beckham. What could have happened if he had this urge, we can only guess….

No talent, no intelligence (sorry posh) but prob. wealthier than Hawkins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevino Posted September 15, 2005 Author Share Posted September 15, 2005 Actually, I was a bit too soft on you. You come accross as increasingly arrogant despite your protestations.Oh....and with your English, you do not actually quite square up the 152 IQ, unless they've changed the test. Perhaps you cheated! VP <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Perhaps my standard of PC English is not brilliant. However it appears that your ability to read is not too hot. Please show me the quote pertaining to my IQ??? I've never written about my IQ here. Perhaps you have me confused with "chuz"???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevino Posted September 15, 2005 Author Share Posted September 15, 2005 (edited) Impossible to tell. But agree bulls are obviously thick.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> People who do not read a statement completely then make rash judgements are the thick ones-read my first post-I am bearish, but I don't want to laugh if I'm better off at other people's expense. That is the full gist of my mail. I disagree with TTRTR that the market is going to keep on going, but I wouldn't label him "Thick". If he can take advantage of a market if it is RISING OR FALLING, then he is obviously not thick, business savvy and I wish him the best of luck. This is the capatalist society we live in. A lot on here seem jealous and bitter. Bitter they do not own a home or can't afford one at present ( again, I would like to know how this causes "suffering" if you have to rent) and jealous of those who do own, or are speculating to make money. Are you sure you don't want to live in 1950's USSR??? Everyone had their "own" home/apartment then!!!!!!

kevino Posted September 15, 2005 Author Share Posted September 15, 2005 Magnanimity Is Laudable But Isn't Apparent HereToo fekking bad! Get over it. Nahhh, they're too busy worrying about how they're going to keep their houses (60,000 households are 6 months behind with their mortgage remember). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Again, read the full text before making snap judgements. I do not use housing as an investment tool, merely as a home. A crash across the board would benefit me as it would bring the rungs on the ladder closer together. As for worrying about the mortgage, I am not one of the 60,000 you refer to. Again, read the post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevino Posted September 15, 2005 Author Share Posted September 15, 2005 Just quoting from the great Tevor McDoughnut's Tonight programme.Although that show did feel like a dream come true (or the begining of the end of a nightmare). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Funny how "Bullish TV programmes" are all lies, but "Bearish ones" are 100% truthful to a lot of people on here.

I can't recall specific instances but many Labour MPs have ploughed their housing allowances into BTL properties....and Michael Meacher who through courtesy of his executive wife ( a banker, I think) owns 6 properties was recently quoted as saying ''We don't need to build any more homes...There are plenty!''

Get real: in general salary is to do with who you know, not what you know. If you really think you are all that, try working for yourself in a job that doesn't rely on the experience of others. BTLers have been doing that for a while now and are about to find out how much of it was down to them, and how much was down to market dynamics they cared little for: ie luck. But go to singing pig and you'll still see some of the old brashness. There was even one guy with a signature that said : "Success is all down to luck: just ask a loser!" Smug? These guys here? You've lived a sheltered life m8 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "Try working for yourself in a job that doesn't rely on the experience of others". How can you presume I don't when you have NO IDEA what my job is???!!! You are peeved because the bank has lent out YOUR money (ie your money deposited in the bank) to another person. I'm sorry, but has the way the capitalist banking system works just been unveiled to the world?? Is this any great surprise?? Why not take all of your money out of the bank and stick it under your mattress if the system is wrong?? Why, because you want interest?? Well shock and horror!! Some of the interest on your money in the bank is probably due to interest charges some of these BTL's are paying!!!! It's swings and roundabouts!! You cannot have your cake and eat it!!!!
