1. This video has helped me understand when it is best to use short term and long term trading stratagy depending on my circumstances and the markets behavior. I saw Nassar at the traders EXPO years ago and this is better than the short lecture on some stratagies he gave.
   The Fibonacci section was interesting and was somthing I am looking into more and back testing. I would recomend this to any trader from novice to experienced since he covers it all.
   Thanks for the good job Dave Nassar. Great speaker and easily understood



2. First of all this DVD is nothing more than a video taped seminar David was giving to a bunch of senior citizens back in 2000...he was still using fractional quotes (rather than decimal) and spoke of 2001 as a distant future. David Silverman who commented above must be a friend of Mr Nassar (or an Alias) to express that this was money well spent. Nassar's information was cursory at best, the format was very basic, I honestly did not walk away with one nugget of insight. For this video to be marketed as current (2005) and at this cost is insulting (but the only fool here is me because I got taken). Even the "blue hairs" in the audience were bored--he probably lured them in with free food and AsperCreme just to fill the room and give the impression that what he had to say was interesting. Perhaps David decided to sell this video because his trading has not been going very well.

1 comments about Frontline: Can You Afford to Retire?.

1. This work covers two dynamics. First, it speaks of how companies use bankruptcy to gut pension promises. Second, it explains how 401(k)'s went from a small retirement option to the leading one, and why that's a problem. These issues may be of interest to many.
   
   Still, I was expecting something entirely different when seeing the title "Can You Afford to Retire?" This work is focused on baby boomers in the private sector. I watched this as a trigenarian in order to think long-term, but there is a strong chance that this may be a generation problem. The work didn't focus on the entire population. As Americans live longer, maybe they should work longer. As a larger percentage of persons are elderly, public policy may need to change about retirement. With more "brain" compared to "brawn" jobs and better accommodation of the disabled, maybe work settings can be made more comfortable for aging workers. This work says nothing about Social Security and I really think a huge part of the populace isn't advance enough to think of other payment options besides that one.
   
   The work was diverse in terms of region: covering persons in the South, Nebraska, and on the West Coast. There is gender diversity as well. The most awesome interviewee was a female professor from Boston College. One male interviewee could really benefit from a faceliftypoo, though. Though they showed people of color in the background, every expert and quotidian employee was Caucasian. Are the viewers supposed to think retirement is just a white concern? Are baby boomers of color somehow better off? I question that and criticize the work for its lack of racial diversity.
   
   I remain skeptical for another reason. Frontline showed an installment called "The Merchants of Cool" that I found to be sensationalist and ageist against the young. I wonder if the "Retirement?" episode may be just as inaccurate a representation of the aging.

1. An excellent look inside the program that truly defined the game show genre, including cast/crew interviews and a fascinating peek inside the taping of an actual episode, from the arrival of audience members to their families' reactions afterwards.
   
   While this documentary has been available on VHS for a number of years, copies were not easy to find and many were of varying quality. However, this remastered edition looks/sounds great, and the addition of a LMaD trivia game's a nice touch, though they could've added more special features along those lines. But that said, it's still a great buy for any GS fan out there...check it out!

1. Even a big George Carlin fan will be disappointed. Unbelievable that he got involved in this turkey. Badly written, badly acted, badly directed - boring. Couldn't watch it all. Luckily it was on TV.

5 comments about The Sin of Harold Diddlebock.

1. I am a huge Preston Sturges fan who stumbled upon this movie. Preston Sturges and Harold Lloyd put together a real gem here. It has the Sturges touch of complete insanity encircling the "seemingly" hapless main character, Diddlebock (Lloyd). Diddlebock has lived a life of sacrafice, sobriety and told all to result in a hasty termination from his job after 20+ years. In the space of a day, Diddlebock falls into a life of debauchery and ultimately finds the fulfillment in his life he had given up on.



2. I tend to like really obscure, really old movies. Most are enjoyable while they last but utterly forgettable when they are over. Occasionally, I find a real gem I will want to see over and over again. This one falls into the first category.
   
   Harold Diddlebock was an unlikely football hero in 1923. Because he helped to win the big game, he got a job working for a big sports fan. He was excited by the prospect but it was a stagnant, dead end. Now, 20 years later, he has been terminated and has no prospects. All he has is a few thousand dollars from his retirement fund in his pocket and a serious crush on a young lady who works for the firm. He has sequentially fallen in love with each of her older sisters as they have worked for the same firm over the years.
   
   Harold is a teetotaler but when he is wondering the streets unsure of what to do, he allows a friendly bum to coax him into a bar where he has his first drink, a special concoction brewed especially for him. Depending on your perspective, he handles his liquor not at all or extremely well. When he wakes up, he finds that his money is gone and he cannot remember what has taken place. As he tries to recover his memories and his money, he learns more and more of the antics of his blackout and becomes ever more disheartened at what he learns. He was a real wild man and it is unfortunate he cannot remember what a good time he had.
   
   As he tries to repair the damage, he stumbles from one silly situation to the next in a typical mid-20th century comedic fashion.
   
   Alls well that ends well and the girl is really sweet too.
   
   There is nothing memorable about this one but it was fun while it lasted.



3. This movie is two of my favorites: The Sin of Harold Diddlebock (1947) 89 minutes and Mad Wednesday (1950)76 minutes.
   The movie was re-released under a new title after Rudy Vallee's scenes were cut.
   It's the story of Harold Diddlebock, Lloyd's character from 1923's The Freshman, twenty years after he was given a job by a grateful sports fan upon graduating from college.
   The job was a dead-end clerical job, brightened only by a succession of sisters, each of whom he falls in unrequited love with, each of whom left the company to marry someone else.
   Shortly after the youngest sister comes to work at the company, Harold gets cashiered on a Tuesday, handed his pension, and sent home.
   At least that's the last thing he remembers when he wakes up Thursday. The rest of the movie is a hilarious romp as he recalls what happened on Wednesday and deals with the consequences.
   Trust me, you are going to wish you could go to a Halloween Party dressed as Harold Diddlebock.



4. With the advent and proliferation of "Infomercials" and "Paid Programming" which have come to fill the late night air waves of nearly every television station in the country, one is no longer able to catch some of the little known classic films which brought so much pleasurable entertainment to earlier generations of Americans. One such case of a film fading away into obscurity is The Sin of Harold Diddlebock. Filled with witty humor and Harold Lloyd's flare for outrageous stunts, The Sin of Harold Diddlebock is a must-see film which brings the action-packed humor of the silent era into the modern age and lays the foundation for so much of what passes for comedy today. The Sin of Harold Diddlebock is a 'coming of age' story which takes a comic look at a tragic character - the American worker who, after being used up by his employer of over twenty years, is forced into retirement with nowhere to turn and no options for his future. When he finally learns to let go and get in touch with his younger self, to once again 'think,' the real action begins and he comically turns despair into the great American success story as he breaks with a number of closely held social conventions of his time. This is a hopeful, light-hearted, uplifting film. A must see for anyone who thinks that life might have passed them by.



5. First I've been obsessed with this film since the first time I saw it convulsing, and I mean convulsing with laughter. It's not funny all the way through but when it is funny it's FUNNY!
   
   Second, from a historical perspective it's very interesting. The first 15 minutes is a recycled silent film, which transitions to Mr. Lloyds first talkie. So it bridges the era's.
   
   Third how can you not see a film involving BOTH Sturges AND Lloyd? Not to mention the cream of the crop of supporting character actors. Conlin was never better, he's a great guy but you don't want to trust him one inch! The plot line is so inventive and outrageous you'll never ever guess what is coming next!
   
   Fourth, like all Lloyd and most of Sturges this is a film with it's morals completely out for the average guy. The guy with the good heart. The guy who means well and will take his honest goodness to the limit and by persevering he wins. In this case his true love Francis Ramsden. I fell in love with Francis. While not the most gorgeous of actresses in that era you just have to love her. She loves Harold despite himself because of what is inside of him. However it's never corny or saccharin. It's almost bittersweet until the end. Harold IS a loser in many ways but in the way that matters most he's a winner.
   
   Fifth - the last line of the movie. I won't spoil it for you but you have to pay attention. In fact this is not a movie for those who don't pay attention.
   
   People who don't pay attention are not going to "get this movie." The censors were not paying attention.
