Good Stocks plus realism? WHat?

Alright, first of all, if any of you possess the desire to profit largely in the stock market, I would advise you looking into ARNA (stock symbol) and ONXX.

Look, I am not a neurosurgeon yet, however, I have a financial question for any neurosurgeon, but more specifically spine (which is obviously the predominant field in neurosurgery). Could a neurosurgeon realistically afford a house such as this starting off? (see link) (link removed)
Thanks,

PS: NO (SMART) COMMENTS

"Afford" is a very relative term (can't see the link anyway). As a neurosurgeon, I will say that many physicians, neurosurgeons included, seem to live very lavishly and outside of their means. I read an article about the concept that physicians have relatively large incomes, but generally a low net worth. Could not agree more. It amazes me to see physicians with half my income buying cars and homes more expensive than those that I have bought, thinking I myself could barely afford them. There is a pediatrician who drives a brand new Bentley Continental Flying Spur (~$220,000) to work. I don't know his personal financial situation, but I highly doubt he can afford that car with his income. Keeping up with the Joneses. Avoid it if you can.

There is absolutely no point trying to guess whether or not someone else can afford something. None of us know specific financial details. Everyone has a unique situation. You could be the son of a billionaire, or be living paycheck to paycheck.


I realize this is a (smart) comment that you did not want, but the price of the home was unavailable as the link was removed. The maximum amount you should spend on a home is approximately three times your income. Assuming a possible income of $300,000-$2,000,000, the maximum range is $900,000-$6,000,000, although why someone would want to spend $6m on a home is beyond me...

Ok, it was 3,999,999, but in this market, I am sure someone would take a lower price. Thanks, for the advice.

ARNA? Hahaha. You missed the boat on that one.

I would rather eat at Joe's. It is the real home of the whopper. Everyone knows that. Much better than ONXX.
