there's nothing special about the market being closed tomorrow. Whether it's closed for a holiday, for a weekend, or for a stupid little storm, it has the same effect on the price of options. Think of tomorrow as a holiday

they have $5/share in cash as of today. Tell me how they could be worth $9B when they have $10.5B in cash?

why do you need that chart? It takes 10 seconds to google the fact that the USA had a population 215MM in 1975 and 310MM in 2010. it would have taken you less time to google that than to write your posts.

if you could sue each time someone emailed you something vulgar, i'd be rich by now. stop PMS'ing and get over it

so you want scientists to continue to do studies, but you don't want companies or the government to pay for them. You basically want those researchers to work for free. Yeah, your way is so much better. let's do your way and watch medical advances come to a complete standstill.

blah. If you generally eat healthy and aren't overweight, you can eat eggs. I go through periods where i can eat 15+ yolks per week, followed by a couple of weeks where i might eat only a couple, then repeat. My cholesterol is under 150 it probably has to do with the fact i'm not a fatass...

I can't do high-intensity workout on an empty stomach. that includes resistance work. I get dizzy and have no energy. But for low-intensity cardio, like leisurely biking on the stationary bike or brisk walking, i will exercise on an empty stomach, sometimes for 2+ hours. During...

chins/rows work completely different muscles than DL's, even a DL that's not done with perfect form.

If that's her with the key pendant necklace, then i hope she doesn't post her photo. i have a feeling she's 40 lbs overweight.
