    them be some ugly ass shoes. their new styles that are more mainstream look better, though who knows if they will catch on with consumers? I think they are changing their image, probably unitentionally, to appeal to the elderly, medical and hospitality industry. I don't know if they are cognizant of the fact that this may be detrimental to the hipness (if any) of the brand. tricky business Reply

    Many things in the article are right. But the only miss is that.. No! The market hasn't reached it's low. Every time we get this kind of economic event, it is always followed by a wash out sell of in WallStreet as it gets clensed from the regular investor.
    This hasn't happend yet. Unless this time is different, we havn't reached a bottom yet.
    Maybe it is getting ready and it will rally some 500 points to then drop 2000 one day and be below 10,000 as it should.
    Be carefull out there.

    "I look at a chart on my wall" ... dear, I haven't been to "business school" for many a year, but I thought this kind of reasoning and thinking had been dispelled of decades ago, you know, with William Sharpe and Harry Markowitz and the Capital Asset Pricing Model. For a more colloquial account, see Pery Mehrling's "Fischer Black and the Reveolutionary Idea of Finance." The dear boy in Cork, Ireland is living in never-never land if he thinks he can on a consistent basis outperform the market rate of return. The marekt rate of return is contingent on the economy, so I am not sure what the hell is going on with the question or the answer in this aritcle. It sould like gibberish to me. These days I am not sure who are the greater quacks: those that say they can beat the market, or those that say they can predict it. Look, you follow the mandates of CAPM, hold a diversified portfolio that rids you of alpha-risk, and take the return the market gives you. All else is the thinking of "Professors" much like the one in "Back To School" looking for a place to locate his classroom factory to which Rodney Dangerfield shouts out: "How about Fantasyland?"

    i also want to commend your article. i know that you must buy the stock and not the company. but coming from the operations side in a company, this has always seemed wrong to me. should we ponder how healthy this approach is to a companies long term competitiveness? Reply

    I'm relatively new at this with almost a year under my belt. My question is, "what constitutes a recession?". I believe we have all heard we are and we aren't in a recession. Seems to me everyone has their own reasoning. Could someone please shed some light on this issue. Are we, or are not it a recession.

    Thanks,     Reply

    Maybe Michael Phelps will be the point guy for Crocs/Bite like Tigers Woods did for Nike... Reply

    Nike was like Crocs back in the 1980's or 90's. Nike was cratered badly and rebounded. Crocs acquired Bite which use same croslite material but comes with much better designs. I ordered some Crocs before looking at Bite website. I returned the ugly Crocs and ordered some at Bite.com. Check it out!! Reply

    To your larger point, the economy has me concerned at present but according to ECRI we have been in a recession for a while (well before I sensed what their indicators say at present). The stock market is likely to reflect the downer for a time, then turn before the economy shows much life. They say 6 months before any significant movement in employment or output. Over the years that has been my experience. Apparently you do not share those views. or do you? Reply

    Gary is just a tick (tick – blood sucking insect). There is a much bigger problem than a tick. It’s encephalitis. It’s strange that nobody looked at, and did not commented the bigger picture. Why TASR went down in April? It’s because it was short of analysts’ expectations on 1Q earnings. A saw a lot of opinions that the expectations were too high, really behind any reasonable approach, and the performance of the company was really good in 1Q. Here is deal:
    1. Sell stocks short.
    2. Put too high expectations to guaranty that the company performance will be short of expectations.
    3. Take you short profit on stock that fell because it missed the too-high-expectations.
    Want more profit? Here is the 1(bis).
    1(bis). Sell stocks sooner. You know that the expectations will be set too high. There is nothing to be worried about.

    Really, I can understand why the stock was going down from 100E/p to 50E/p, but what about then?

    Paranoid fantasy? Look back:
    Dot Com - investment banks are found guilty on precooking of future growth of stocks before API;
    Enron – investment bunks are involved in many conspiracies in commodity and financial areas; California lost 40 billions dollars; burned retirements and investments);
    SUV – pointless, carbohydrates burning monsters; sold on hypertrophied ego and hysteria “I’m going to die”, yes, sure, it’ll turn over and you will die if you are lucky, other way you will be paralyzed for rest of your life, in worst case a person will die in 10 cents collision, where he has 100% chance to walk away by himself, if you drive a normal car; MY APOLOGY – I don’t have data that investment banks are involved in this one so let get to the next one.
    Housing - encouraging of unsupported borrowing; manipulations of financial instruments to hide the F-minus rate of the obligations, victorious bravura march “we did it” when lines to file bankruptcy are for month ahead.
    Oil – a great idea to recover pension funds; trillions of dollars replaced demand for consumption with demand for speculation; still covered; OPEC is too smart, they do not allow to balloon production of oil, and then to be left with no-body-need infrastructures and devastated ecology.

    Encephalitis? Make your opinion... Before it’s too late.

    Why TASR? It’s simple. Too many coyotes looking to make their day on the idea”s bones or, may be, to jump into the idea. It’s on the edge. One successful bite and every thing may go down the cliff. No matter of saved lives and medical recovery expenses of both police side and criminals.

    I just wonder why there is not any conclusive statistical and medical information in the press. It reminds me the story: Your guys fixed my computer and now the Internet explorer does not work. -When they fixed it ? - One week ago. -When the Internet explorer stopped to work? - Yesterday. –Then what the heck the fix has to the problem. Or another one. New Jersey increased speed limit at some sections of highways. Then they registered increase of accident rate. The idea was practically buried , but a scholar show the deputy that they are idiots. He asked to compare the sections with unchanged speed limit, and sections with increased speed limit during the same years. The sections with unchanged speed limit had higher increase of accident rate.

    Taser, show how many people can stay alive if they got shot with Taser instead of fire arm.

    Good luck John O'Quinn, and good luck Taser.

    Regardless of the retraction noted, why is this weeks old article showing again? What is the purpose of reposting an article that made false accusations against Taser? What you say, Gary?
