  • Chinese Recession: More Evidence Of A 'Hard Landing' [View article]
    That's because they're dumping untold amount of money into the economy and are expanding credit in a way that makes the US pre-2008 look like a child.

    This isn't sustainable.

    I still use my page as well. I didn't say the pages are worthless at all.

    To answer your question, we're on less shaky ground because we can print our own money and we have the world's reserve currency. We're on a bad projectile, but we're still in a far better position than Greece.

    If it's not about advertising, then this is the worst business move possible, because they gain nothing else from this either. The entire point of this was advertising.

    It's not emotional to disagree with someone. That's silly.

    Nobody has remotely said anything along the lines of "there's no reason to advertise on Facebook."

  • Portfolio For A 25-Year Old: The Positives And Negatives [View article]
    My entire portfolio is in dividend stocks and precious metals, with a very healthy addition every month. I'm only 23, so I should have plenty of time to amass retirement savings.

    As for gold being overpriced, remember to think of it in terms of the next 40-something years. Over time, buying some and stashing it will likely just keep up with inflation unless you plan on risky speculations for the next half century, and, honestly, most people shouldn't do that.

    Betrayed and defrauded can happen at the same time...

    Betrayed is a good word. Business arrangements imply at least some degree of loyalty, especially when it comes to people building a network -on- your website.

    Betraying trust is like drinking poison.

  • Obama Wins Is Likely Headline [View article]
    Correlation doesn't equal causation. That's oversimplified, absurd, and shouldn't be taken seriously by anyone.

  • Why Disney Made A Great Choice Buying 'Star Wars' [View article]
    Sorry about that, you're completely right. I'll have that sentence edited.

    Still, the movie was a flop, and it's unlikely that any future Lucas-originated films will get the same results. If anything, the John Carter movie was based on really bad marketing.

  • This Is The Real Source Of Our Economic Problems [View article]
    Prices are always correct in a free market. Not in a broken market. That's the entire point of my article.

    Your "1" point completely proves my original. Government manipulated prices, creating malinvestment.

    I agree with you -- they won't vanish or even close. I'm looking for a company with a lot of growth potential as well as dividends.

    As far as losing liberty, I couldn't agree more. I joined Cigar Rights of America for that reason.
