Something's wrong with a country if a recession threatens uprisings. Not even a recession, just a slower growth. Or maybe all these talks about uprisings are just over exaggeration, since these words come directly from the communist party and it's weird they would use these word without a clear...

Spare us the bullshit moral arguments.

What is this, another stupid thread about a guy choosing between making 200,000 a year or 250,000 a year? Pick what you like most.

behead them.

I don't think this is a good time to short OSTK. The reason most people even know of the company is because of Patrick Byrne, so the stock has a certain presence in their head. That's like someone buying Google because they use it everyday, or worse, some people a few months ago were asking "Is...

Yeah, running deficits is a great way to bankrupt those who actually pay taxes. Great system.

Good analysis. With the economy being so consumer driven these days, a recession can spread like wild fire. People also only spend as long as they feel confident about their medium term income, I bet you do, but when everyone working in a consumer related job sees the headlines and listens to...

While I don't have any experience in web business, it's not about charging people, it's about advertising! Do people run away from television even if they're bothered with one third of the time by ads? Do they run away because their entertainment is being diluted by corporate sponsors? No. All...

Exactly, I was surfing a website recently that I liked but has financial problems, these guys have 0 business cells in their brains! It's not complicated, you trade in eyeballs for revenues. That's your business model. I went on a chinese youtube and I was amazed not only at the technology...

Believe me "normal" companies are trying to watch over thousands of employees every second of the day. If these yahoos were surfing porn at any other company, someone would intercept that and they'd be fired. It's about making a culture based on meritocracy.

What about Microsoft? There's plenty of oligopolies, monopolies, it's coming. Take a look at the handful of companies that control the mainstream media, or the big international oil firms, or the "new" AT&T whose goal apparently is to look a lot like the old AT&T, or take a look at the...

Interesting, but what do you have to say about all the people coming forward about having suspected something with Madoff's fund? What about the perfect returns for over 10 years? No strategy can mimic that.

Bloomberg did the same thing.

The problem with social security is that the money was stolen by politicians and replaced with IOUs. I didn't know politicians were all billionaires. If the excess money was saved and invested in safe places, the situation wouldn't have been this bad. Now that take-outs will be greater than...

Since we're in the economics section, what will this mean for deflation? As demand falls from the lower salaries, will other companies be forced to follow?

I used to listen to some of their interviews, and everyone of their speeches they made it look like Austrian economics is about the very nature of people, or maybe the absolute written in stone laws and principles of the science of economics, they're obsessed with themselves. I used to believe...

Lol I heard recently that the military solution was considered when Saudi Arabia joined the oil embargo against Israel and its allies in the 1970s. So basically the US military is like an eternal threat in any negociation but rarely used. While the US spends more than all other countries...

There's plenty of high risk, high reward options out there. Look at the biggest losers and pick one.

How? All the canadian banks do is retail banking, low risk loans and getting rich off of fees. It's a steady business but nothing explosive.
