I'm surprised Warby Parker now has a $1.2 billion dollar valuation. It seems like a low barrier to entry business that is easy to replicate, and it doesn't get competitive advantage from network effects the way a linkedin or amazon does.

I would not want to live in Memphis where racial tensions are so high.

There was looting after Hurricane Katrina, but no looting after a tsunami hit Fukushima.

There is a lot of hype with Theranos. If they live up to the hype, then all those medical labs (Lab Corp, Quest Diagnostics) are going bust. I think it would be bad for Stericycle as well. And also say goodbye to this Indian woman's lab biz prominently profiled in Forbes a couple months ago...

Sorry to hear that. I hate bullies. I've only been a casual acquaintance with 2 Jewish people in my life. Both were women and both were very nice people. I was invited to one of her birthday parties.

It's changing. Sheldon Adelson is now putting his weight behind Marco Rubio. Adelson is influential in the Jewish business elite. I think that's exactly right. Generally speaking, the Jewish people are successful everywhere they go, which engenders envy and hate. Their culture places much...

Actually, upon further reflection, I think Mr. Hershey lived a sad existence. If he came upon trading early in his life, then that means he spent his lifetime thinking and developing his trading ideas, which, to any trader with significant experience in the markets, knows is a lot of BS. So, I...
