Back in 1942 Admiral William "Bull" Halsey was quoted as saying, "kill japs, kill japs and kill more japs". Times, they are a changin.

I love the Wall Street Journal. I used to buy it occasionally at the newsstand, but now I have a subscription. The articles and editorials are informative, and the market data is useful. BTW, I'm talking about the print edition. There's something about a newspaper - unfolding it, folding it...

Ban everybody who googles their own name.

Frankly, these PhD's and quants who blow out their billion dollar hedge funds are no different than the Silicon Valley tech geek who blows out his account at TD Ameritrade. They both got the same result, a huge loss. Richard Dennis has blown out three times now, and if he passed his hat...

Rebounds by Hedge-Fund Stars Prove 'It's a Mulligan Industry' By GREGORY ZUCKERMAN and CRAIG KARMIN May 12, 2008; Page C1 Jeffrey Larson lost $1.5 billion for his hedge-fund investors in a few painful weeks last summer. He shuttered Sowood Capital Management LP in July, one of the more...

Maybe everybody turned it off after about 15 seconds. I did. You blow. Get me a better video.

The "Cramer Effect" is diminishing. His comments used to move stocks, not anymore. Yesterday I bought a coal stock, ICO and after the close that day Cramer had announced that ICO is the worst coal stock out there. A couple of years ago that kind of remark from him would have caused a sharp...

I haven't read fiction in over 20 years, but the last book I read was Shibumi by Trevanian. I guess you could say I liked the book, since I remembered it all this time. It's a spy novel, BTW.

Here's my favorite charity, the Feral Cat Coalition: http://www.feralcat.com/ If you like cats, please consider the FCC. They get results. About every month or so they hold feral cat clinics where feral cat caretakers can bring their cats in for spay/neuter and sometimes immunizations...

Stoney - Whether or not you like Obama, he will take more money out of your pocket. You can not afford him in the White House. He will not only allow the tax cuts to expire, he will raise the capital gains beyond what they were before the cut. You as a trader, heck ANY profitable trader, can not...

Is that really a pic of Baron?? WTF man? Even Kim Jong Il knows not to hold a wine glass by the bell.

Last year CNN ran a story titled something like, "where have the viewers gone" or something like that. It was a story about declining viewership in television. I bookmarked it, but when I went back to it a few months later the story was expired. The mainstream media is losing to the internet on...

Computer/parts stores still advertise in the local paper too. Some newspapers complain how Wal Mart doesn't advertise with them, and I wonder about that myself. It seems like newspapers would be a good way for Wal Mart to advertise. It doesn't seem as though advertisers want to pay big...

It's good to see the WSJ is bucking the trend and increasing circulation. That tells me that just maybe the younger crowd has not given up totally on print newspapers. But then again, maybe it just means that the WSJ has managed to get a few more hotel chains to sign on as subscribers, inflating...

I don't necessarily agree with this - ad revenues are going to continue to drop as long as circulation drops, period.

Dead Trees Timber! Newspaper Circulation Falls Again Louis Hau, 04.28.08, 12:09 PM ET The slide in U.S. newspaper circulation is picking up speed. Daily circulation fell 3.57% from the same period last year for 530 U.S. newspapers reporting a Monday-through-Friday average for the six...

What was the final result of the last contest? I remember the allegations of cheating, but I never heard whether or not the contest was completed.

One of the cops was black, there won't be rioting over this.

The story in today's WSJ doesn't really sound too good, at least not when I try to read between the lines. The article describes Brauchli as a politician, and later it quoted him as saying his departure had nothing to do with issues of editorial independence. Well, if it didn't, then why was it...

Maybe we're making a bigger deal out of this than it really is. Murdoch must know that we will not subscribe to a low-life trash newspaper.
