CONTINUED Guidance in Statements While Regulation FD prevented companies from making selective disclosures, they still can guide analysts to an estimate they know they can beat by forecasting in a public statement. Analysts still have incentives to avoid writing negative reports, because...

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601109&sid=apQUkLyvXWSA&refer=home What's Analyst Worth? Not a Penny as Estimates Miss (Update1) By Peter Robison April 22 (Bloomberg) -- This earnings season may expose how much Wall Street analysts rely on guidance in making estimates, as the...

So it's going to become akin to a bad parody? If so, that's highly disappointing. The WSJ was respected for its news coverage of all things business related by a broad spectrum of people. Murdoch pledged not to interfere with the news operations and editorial board of the WSJ, and it looks...

Great point. Now that they have to pay that debt back, after many of them seeing their neighborhood housing values decline year over year, it's probably rational for them to feel pessimistic. Gas prices and food prices are crushing the middle to lower class right now - especially families...

Is ole' Rupert senile and will the facebook acquisition signal a top in domain space craziness, when we look back in retrospect? Will that 1.5 billion acquisition infect the already weakening position of Newscorp even more?

Better Off Now Than 5 Years Ago? by: Paul Kedrosky posted on: April 21, 2008 http://seekingalpha.com/article/73124-better-off-now-than-5-years-ago I normally disregard these "Are you better off now than you were X years/months/minutes/seconds ago"? surveys. They are usually selective...

Does anyone know where you can find a list of those banks or S&Ls that are currently on the FDIC watchlist due to problem portfolios? TIA

Make sure to thank Bernanke, and tell him to keep up the good work slashing interest rates and the value of the USD. The rise in the price of oil is demonstrably and provably NOT due to supply/demand issues. In our economy, savers are punished (with low interest rates on savings), while...

I be pipin'.

Oakland Township.

Oh, I'm not intending to offend anyone at all. It's just that I'm not used to what you guys in NYC have to put up with in terms of cost of living and lack of natural beauty. I know there are many positive attributes, as well - you have access to world class cuisine, a wide array of...

I don't know how some of you keep your sanity. Come to Michigan (not Detroit), with lush green lawns, 1 to 10 acre lots, and golf courses, crystal clear ponds, clean air, blue lakes and rolling ground all around (in the Northern Suburbs). My lot overlooks a championship golf course, while...

Either Firefox or Opera are far, far superior to Explorer.

I think some of you are on to something real here: This is another bubble that's been quietly building a gigantic head of steam, but hasn't garnered 1/10th the attention of the (now deflating) housing bubble or medical care expense bubble. Maybe it creates an opening for low cost, but...

One question to those of you who seem to indicate that you (exclusively?) rely on charts: Where would you have gotten out based on either one of those trend lines? I'm speaking of, 'holy shit, I'm out of this mofo!' getting out, not just seeking out a tradeable range. If you didn't...

Mercor, I am pretty amazed at your statement simply from the standpoint that you seem to insinuate that US policy on anything, let alone oil, has been anything more than dreadful for the last....I don't know?.....8 years?? That's not a partisan jab, but an expression of the reality I see, and...

So then, let me ask a provocative question, to conservatives, moderates, liberals and libertarians all: Why is every negative statement about the U.S.'s dependency on oil prefaced with the ubiquitous phrase 'middle eastern?' (I am a libertarian, believe that oil is a much more rational...

Two words: Risk management. If you ever 'blow up' in such a momentous way that you may not be able to recover, you failed the most critical lesson of all.
