    Has anyone ever dabbled on the Hollywood Stock Exchange? It's basically a site that allows you to invest fictional money on upcoming movies and actors/actresses. You can build a portfolio and invest just like in the real stock market. There's even a ticker and symbols for the various movies, actors, etc.

    Since pinball as an investment is always a hot topic around here, maybe it's time someone combine their love of investing and pinball and create the Pinball Stock Exchange (PSX.com). You could invest in machines or in your favorite designers, artists, or even your favorite fellow Pinsiders. I'm kidding about all this of course

    I would think that most people's investments have bounced back and then some! As of last week, the U.S. is experiencing the 3rd longest Bull market in history...

    Quoted from Whysnow:

    Any pinsiders invest in real estate rentals?
    I paid my way through college and grad school on single family houses. I called it the slow flip where I would buy a crappy house and fix it up for 3 years and then rent for 2 and sell to avoid capital gains on primary residence (have to live in it for 3 out of last 5 years of ownership). I then sold those houses over the past few years while putting my wife through professional school.

    I think as long as you buy low in a decent neighborhood and are willing to put in "sweat equity" and avoid capital gains I think real estate is a great investment.-especially in Dane County. I would just try to be wary of new construction and try to avoid buying right next to any large new developments. I heard Veridian is building a new 1000 family development not too far from you. New homes have also been going in like crazy next to where I live which would affect me if I were to sell in the near future.

    Between Lien and Burke Rd. Big development for Madison! Hard to say at this point if it would help/hurt your current home's value?
