What an absolute crock of revisionist history. Jobs bought Pixar for $5MM and sunk $5MM of his own money in it, not "tens of millions." The best thing he did with them, and why it paid off so big, is that he did abso-fucking-lutely nothing. He left them alone to be creative. As for Toy...

Cut the crap. If you wanted to accentuate her personality you would have just said she's attending college. As soon as you mentioned Harvard that became secondary because of that school's reputation and its exclusivity of admission.

+1 Obama's more than proof that it's not a criteria for admission.

Well, it really depends on where you live. Someone on the west coast is considerably more aware of the San Andreas fault than the New Madrid and someone on the east coast should be more concerned with Cumbre Vieja causing a mega tsunami (depending on if you think that particular scenario is...

"Leading" in the context of technical analysis is a synonym for "bullshit." And you're the leading bullshit artist around here.

The most straightforward way is to maintain a running summation of overnight gaps (Open - Close[1]) and apply it to all four price values of every bar. You may want to collect some statistics intraday to determine if you should adjust the overnight gap to more closely mimick intraday...

Average and median are not the same thing.

I guess "government regulation" and "slippery slope" are foreign ideas to you, huh?

How is this news? Are you South America's European counterpart?

You need to dig a little deeper. JPM is doing the same thing with their $79TN, moving it from their bank holding company to their FDIC insured depository. Guess what? The FDIC is stone-cold, dead silent on that move...

As far as jobs go, is there parity from a labor hours/compensation perspective when comparing a solar panel manufacturing job to an installer's job? As for the costs you mentioned, there's much more than acquisition and installation costs involved. What about the reliability, maintenance...

It's amazing how many people think that income tax is necessary and that the revenue from said taxes actually pays for any of their "benefits" which, are also not necessary.

It says a lot about how pathetic the current sitting POTUS is when one of his supporters feels that divine intervention is needed to deliver a bigger fool for an opponent.

Heh... Whatever happened to that wingnut? Congrats.

We agree on income tax, but you're mistaken with the way things are when it comes to sales tax. If you have a resale certificate you are not charged tax on the purchase of wholesale goods. Finished goods are only taxed once, at the point of final purchase at the retail level. You're also...

True. Although Bimbette Bachmann didn't help herself by fumbling what should have been a concise attack, she did manage to get the point across that his 9-9-9 plan is flawed when it comes to taxing finished goods even when they are not sold to the retail channel. Never mind the passed...

Tell that to the workers who've had their jobs eliminated by automation.

+1 Capitalism requires an expanding market and/or planned obsolescence.

You're spot on about taxation without representation, but the colonists at the time of the tea party still thought of themselves as British subjects and the first provincial governments they set up were actually intended to be part of the empire. It wasn't until 3 years later that the...
