I don't own much myself - I think maybe 3-5% of my 401(k) is in company stock. I still have shares of MO and PM in slightly larger quantities - the dividend is like having a small printing press. ^

Good investment policy -- no needs 'all their eggs in one basket'!:eek:

OK! How do you get the certificate -- through the MR site?:confused: It specifically for Dell?

Correct - just search for "Dell", and there's be a dropdown to pick the value of certificate you want. This might link you there:

My reason for not wanting to come to teh Pit is also weather, since I work outdoors. If I worked indoors, I wouldn't care too much. If Mrs. photog72 landed at St. Jude in MEM, I would have said NO WAY. I wouldn't go to LAX as well. However, SAN and SFO/SJC are options for us.

Indeed. I have to dust off the small amount of market knowledge that I once had and try to grow myself some assets.

LAX isn't materially different than SAN. It is significantly better than SFO. YMMV with SJC.

One thing I miss about the private sector (aside from earning massive amounts of miles / hotel points and rarely paying for food, toiletries, or entertainment) was the copious number of Membership Rewards I earned.

Back to some traveling. Curious about airports. More specifically, how many of you have flown into or out of all 3 Bay Area airports SJC/OAK/SFO (different times throughout your life)? What about all 3 major NYC airports? Both CHI airports? The 3 south Florida airports (MIA/FLL/PBI)? Airports in the WAS area (DCA/IAD/BWI)? Both HOU and both DAL airports? Connections are fine too.

Never been to MDW, never been in IAD, Never been to Dallas, period. Any other areas of the country I missed that have at least two pretty large airports? I guess LAX does have a couple as well. I've only been to LAX and SNA.


All times are GMT -6. The time now is 6:49 pm.
