    • Google Traffic Significant in Only Four Areas [view article]
      "They should contemplate buying Flickr from Yahoo, actually, because that would save Flickr from going to c**p under a potential communist-like MSFT centrally-controlled regime. "

      Wow!! Obviously Mr. Barta has some strong emotional issues that cloud his thinking. MSFT is centrally controleed whereas Goog is not? Have you spoken to advertisers who have had to deal with Big G?       Feb 07 09:13 PM
    • Housing Starts Are Still Tumbling [view article]
      If the drop in housing starts is so dramatic, then the dip in pricing could also potentially be a deep but short one. We tend to look at historical trends, but technology had made cycles move more rapidly. If housing starts continue to decline at current trend for another 12 months, we will effectively see an equivilization of rent / buy scenarios. Jan 18 01:52 PM

    • Peter Schiff on the Housing Market and the Rescue Plan [view article]
      I absolutely agree with Peter Schiff and I think the author and folks like Logical are barking up the wrong tree. I am a renter; by choice. I am not connected to the mortgage or the real estate industry and have no inherent biases. I was told I could "afford" a million dollar mortgate by multiple brokers, but not one put a gun to my head forcing me to take one. The Lenders may be vampires, cheats or whatever; they did not coerce anyone to take loans for amounts that could not be paid back. No bailout should take place. If homeowners are so worried about foreclosures, let there be a 50 percent Capital Gains tax on all real estate appreciation from 2000 and those funds can be used to bail out homeowners. Renters should not bear the brunt of a collapsing housing market. Dec 23 08:30 PM
    • Is Yahoo Gaining on Google? [view article]
      Sir, I am a Yahoo employee and close to the search side of the business. I agree with the general gist of your comment but would take issue here -

      " Nobody gets fired for buying from Google. For now, Yahoo is a bit more risky"

      I don't think anyone got fired for buying from Yahoo either. Its just that Google came along as a better alternative and yes, the staus quo favors Google.       Oct 23 06:21 PM
