New Energy Bill — End the BS, Republicans. It’s time for a change. Seriously. 2008-02-28 18:23:17 “When our constituents ask us to do something about gas prices, they don’t want us to raise them,” Mr. Herger said. “Yet by increasing taxes on U.S. energy manufacturers by more than $17 billion, this bill creates a significant disincentive for domestic production, decreasing our energy security and increasing our over-reliance on uncertain foreign supplies.”

hahaha, comic strips that explain things are funny… 2008-02-20 15:57:50 thanks middle class millionaire for posting this comic.
aside from being really funny, i think it illustrates a few major problems within the financial industry. specifically, we’re not as transparent and investor friendly as government and policy officials would lead us “average joe’s” to think.

Closed-Cycle Gasoline Use…Is it really viable? 2008-02-20 11:02:29 not sure if anyone’s seen the article in the NYTimes today.

IndyMac’s letter to the shareholders: “We’re undervalued by 50%” 2008-02-12 22:16:23 first off, thanks to calculated risk for bringing the letter to my attention.my initial reaction is that it’s fine for the CEO to be writing this letter and it’s at an important time the company history. many of the criticisms on calculated risk are defensible, particularly when they call into question the “awareness” of [...]

The two economists were examining income flows for Americans and essentially making the claim that the income gap between the top earners and the lowest earners wasn’t indicative of the standard [...] Read more:company
Retirement 2008-02-07 13:00:28 many sheeple blindly sock money away in their 401k’s and ira’s without putting much thought into what their hard earned money is purchasing. when the market is down, they say, they are long term investors. they spend hours researching what the best $100 blu-ray player they can buy for their money, and almost no time [...]

Should Nintendo List the ADR on a Real Exchange? 2008-04-29 11:30:35 i’ve been wondering if US shareholders of Nintendo
(NTDOY.pk) should seek Nintendo management to list the company on a reputable exchange.
as a benefit to shareholders:
