    Obesity is costing US 147B per year

    Very very hard to solve the fat problem in the US because there's too much money being made (the margins are great for example, and easy to mass produce in a factory). And making money is always number 1 in the US and to hell with the consequences.....

    up 70 % in 3 months, 1000 max drawdown

    Up 70% in 3 months and you think that's great? I have 3 words for you - risk adjusted returns. Or put it another way, there's probably a 90% chance you'll lose over 50% of your trading capital within 5 years, probably 2. Good luck anyway :)

    History suggests a much bigger, second wave of H1N1 influenza pandemic in the fall

    Makes a good story doesn't it? 'Pig Flu looks like it's contained' for example doesn't sell many papers. Bet if you go back 3-4 months every paper and news outlet has carried a similar story. Remember, there are only 2 things you can believe with papers - 1 - the date 2 - the price

    Brown Backs Holding Back Bank Bonuses for Five Years

    Well, they're going to have to look long and hard because most of the big earners are nothing but bid-offer monkeys. Give them a blank screen every morning (ie, not at their bank) and I doubt they'll be able to recreate the past 'profits'.
