    Las Vegas Sands (LVS)

    Vegas casinos are in terrible shape financially, saddled with immense debt, tons of leverage, and are basically dependent on the willingness of banks or their other lenders to work with them in restructuring their payment schedules. Harrah's and Station Casinos are either in BK or on the...

    Wall Street's Highest Earners

    I assumed it was Blankfein, Dimon, et al., without clicking on the link. My bad. All 20 are hedge fund managers. I could care less. Let them make as much as the market will bear since they're not taking taxpayer money, but money from clients dumb enough to pay them 2/20 or 4/40. Economic...

    Goldman's PR Team Attacks: We didnt need the bailout

    Yeah, they don't need the TARP money. That's why they converted themselves into a commercial bank just to get the money and that's why they have to engage in a dilutive stock share sale just to raise enough cash to pay the TARP funds back to the government. If you don't need the money...

    (A form of) Prostitution coming online

    Having spent some time in France, I can honestly say that there are literally no obese or even chunky French Women; at least, I never saw any. French Women are so much more concerned with their appearance and the way they carry themselves than their American counterparts.
