    Starbucks raising beverage prices next week

    Tim Hortons has the best coffee. Never quite understood the demand for Starbucks coffee. It's sub-par in taste and quality. I'm assuming people are paying for the ostentatious surroundings and snooty sales people.

    Interview with deep value investor Monish Pabrai

    He doesn't buy much stock, does he now? (As just one example, you beat Buffett to the convertible bonds of Level 3 Communications back in 2002, which I don't think was merely a coincidence.) .. And neither does Buffet. Both invest heavily in secured debt instruments, which under normal...

    Shorting Goldman Sachs and Bear Stearns

    Not bad at all. Unwinded much faster than I thought. While we're at it, the price should hold here for a try at 212.

    confused about where the futures stand tonight....

    What's there to be confused about? Todays action implies underlying strength in the markets. I'm buying long and plan to stay long for the foreseeable future. Dips are opportunities to add to long positions. As for the short sellers who scream "the sky is falling" on every little...
