    Mr. Icahn thinks he can push market over the edge

    Icahn is right though. So many large companies have levered up their balance sheets at low interest rates to buy back stock at ever increasing prices in order to manufacture rising EPS. When there's a recession, these companies will come under pressure of their heavier debt burden. He also...

    Valeant Pharmaceuticals (VRX)

    And you were right. VRX tripled after this post, but today a lot of smart money lost big money on this stock: Ackman, Valueact, Sequoia Fund, Paulson, and others. $20 billion Sequoia Fund had $7 billion riding on VRX as of 6/30/15...

    What sort of mathematics does Jim Simons use for his hedge fund?

    If you didn't ace every single math class throughout your school years and get a 99%tile on the math portion of standardized exams, then the question is moot.

    Hot women

    Indeed. Ok, back to pie in the sky. I'm watching She's All That right now. Rachel Leigh Cook at age 20 in the movie was perfect.

    I'm only posting pictures of the type of women I'd be actually fucking, not pie in the sky fitness models.

    Hot women

    I like her front view more than her back view. Here's another. Left one is good. Right one is somewhat thick. Got the feeling they're lesbos to get matching tatoos in the same location on the left ass cheek.
