He won't be convicted of murder. However, the judge may be able to instruct the jury to consider a lesser charge. If the proscecution is allowed to enter evidence of his past brushes with the law, his lying at the bail hearing, that could impugn Zimmerman's character enough to convince the jury...

The police investigators have said the man is unlikely to face criminal charges, the shooting appears justified and he had a permit. However, the two robbers survived and that leaves him at risk, albeit a small one, for a civil complaint. One other risk he is facing as well:

:p

If I understand Republican rules correctly, you must have a plurality of delegates in at least five states to appear on the ballot at the convention. That would probably rule Paul out. And frankly, even though I like the man, it's a good thing that he exit the stage of national politics. He...

Just bought DDD @ 34.18 today. It's been on my radar since it made a new high during the week ending 6/1/2012. The average volume has increased this year too.

Will read your review after I read the book, (I don't want to risk seeing a spoiler). Biggs was such a common name back during the boom of the 90's, and even beyond that he was still influential. I'm surprised you are the only one mentioning his passing on ET.

He even wrote a novel: A Hedgefund Tale, he took creative writing in college. He was often in the news back during the internet stock boom days. This is the only thread on ET that mentions his passing so far. ETA: Just ordered the novel on Amazon.

Sweet potato fries are being offered at fast food places now, it seems like every day another one puts it on their menu. Are they selling well? I wonder if it's just a passing fad.

Trying to keep up the same routine I've followed for years and updating my weekly diary and reading Barron's magazine. I know he would want me to keep right on working and keeping my eye on the ball but I just keep choking up. Do you remember back when the exchanges started re-opening after...

Oatmeal gives me horrific smelling gas, I can't eat it. Or, more accurately, no one with 100 feet of me wants me to eat it. If I combine raw egg whites with oatmeal I become a weapon of mass destruction.

marked my calendar.

He passed away a couple of hours ago at the nursing home. I'm going to have a few drinks tonight and reflect on the things he taught me. Live frugally. That was the big thing with him. Don't waste a thing. I was there by his bedside when he drew his last breath. We had been friends since 1990.

Admits to bankruptcy fraud: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-400_162-57472203/former-mlb-star-lenny-dykstra-admits-to-financial-fraud/?tag=stack

He has a daughter that came out here from Colorado when he was admitted to the nursing home. He still wants me taking power of attorney for him, but now that he is getting sicker I don't know if an attorney will set it up now. I got a surprise when I went through his documents at his...

He's been in a nursing home for three weeks now and I brought by his tax forms to make his estimated payments. He's been throwing up black liquid since last night and a hospital social worker came by asking him questions including his religious preferences. Needless to say, I didn't bother him...

Up strong today on heavier than usual volume. There is a news story about signing a patent agreement, but that doesn't typically affect a stock this much. Aren't there a bunch of ET'ers around here that are tech stock junkies?

On the day that GM reported the biggest loss in it's history, the front page above the fold story was about a roadside bomb in Iraq, (or maybe Afghanistan). It was right after Murdoch took over.

LOL! Seriously, just 20 seconds ago a telemarketer called me to re-start my WSJ subscription. Telemarketers always mispronounce my name as "HUGE".

I dropped my WSJ subscription when my schedule became to busy to allow time for it, but I still love it. I pick it up every Saturday at Starbucks. I still have my subscription to Barron's, I read it every Saturday night, well, when it actually gets delivered. The delivery problem here is pretty...

So it appears as though my judgement was correct. The volume on up days exceeds that of down days, indicative of high demand for the stock. My account closed this week at an all time high, it's been a very good year so far. Will go out for celebratory drinks tonight!
