Why Apple Is Worth $80

It makes no difference what kin of analysis anyone makes, the price of stock is simply based on beliefs, regarding future performance of the issuing company. A fortune teller and the best stock analyst has the same chance of predicting future value of any stock, which is 50/50 at best.

Will Google Lead the Way Toward Salvation?

Is there guarantee, who is issuing it and how is it accomplished to have continuous Internet Service, without any possibility of interruption? If this is possible and proven by anyone on any group and factually, without the shadow of a doubt, then proving irrefutably, that God exists is just a walk in the park for the same people.
I rather keep my OS and data secure and accessible here in my own computer and keep wondering about the existence of God, as long as I live.
P.S. I do have a few large APC Back Ups and a stand by generator, just in case.

Bernanke Seems Clueless About the Real State of the Economy

We can only agree on one thing. So far nobody knows when this recession/depression will end! Bearnanke or Soros does not either. I cannot and will not read and article, which only tries to say, to listen to this smart man or another. Nobody is smart! That is why we are in this mess. If the writers of the articles in financial papers were smart, if investors in the stock market were smart, if presidents and boards of banks and brokerages were smart, we would not have an unchecked global economy, a deregulated global monetary system and we would not allow multi-national companies operating on razor thin profits and buying politicians to keep their markets and supplies. Smart people would not form the European Union nor would they sign NAFTA and they would not allow China to supply our shoes, underwear, shirts and pants, toys and everything else. Write something smart, don't quote George Soros, or directors , managers of banks and brokerages or anyone else, who already used and abused the system he is criticizing now, to steal his billions.

Auto Sales Continue to Slide Downhill

I mostly agree with your assessment, but I am not as forgiving as you are. I would not have given GM and Chrysler a single penny, I would let them fail, Ford would follow them. I would like to see the UAW disappear and the management of these companies to be left out on the pasture and be the target of class action lawsuits and jailed for life. (Same for the bank CEO's) Let's have a shorter depression, a complete and new reorganization of our banking system with strict government controls and new business models for private industry. More people would suffer for a shorter time and then have a long and rising prosperous future with the criminals cast away and a system fixed.
Now we are prolonging a deep recession and nurturing the same criminals, rewarding failure and postpone the inevitable depression and collapse of a credit based monetary system and the multinational criminal business organizations. The people were sold out to the multi nationals as raw resources and before our lives can improve, we have to return to responsible and self respecting, sovereign nations, governing business. It is governments that should rule nations not businesses abusing people, buying politicians and law.

U.S. Debt Default, Dollar Collapse Altogether Likely

You may be a financial expert, but not a good writer. Learn to use a simpler style and no flowery and useless, completely meaningless sentences! Also, don't make up stupid, long and contrived expressions, write down real facts and state your ideas clearly. Here is a quote from your article, which is utter nonsense, somewhat along the line of your opinion, which is doomsday prediction:
I think the spin-controlled version of events will make the collapse of the derivatives market the red herring that facilitates the aw-shucks-we-have-no-c... shoe-gazing moment possible, and that’s exactly the parachute the government needs to retain a veneer of credibility - at least in its own delusional mirror.

Friday's Jump: Sucker's Rally

If everyone is so smart, especially professional investors and speculative journalists, how can the World financial foundation be in such a big mess? The market has only one single purpose, new businesses can raise capital. All other activities are only chance, roulette, pure speculation, luck and the more explanation and implied logic one tries to give explaining an investment strategy in the market, the more stupid he is.

U.K. at Impasse Over Bank Lending

The bottom line is: take back every penny from the banks, let them and us fail as we all deserve it. All of the meddling is only postponing the inevitable and necessary, total collapse of a credit based, bank controlled money supply. Let's do it now, get over with it and start again with government controlled money supply tied to GDP and trust in well managed money supply. banks shall also receive new charters, allowing them only core business and private lending without any other type of services. Banks shall only be banks.

Markets Historically Overbought: Dangerous to Enter New Longs Right Now

Your comment: "If this market has taught us anything it’s that markets go up and they go down.." is the only thing one can say about the stock market without being wrong. Most of the investors already learned this many years ago. All the rest is pure speculation.

Prophet Bernanke Plans for Inflation

Doomsaying is a low level skill. It would be impressive if you could come up with the proper solution to preserve value and tell the readers where to invest and how to escape doom.

Chevy Volt: Can It Survive GM?

The Volt is mainly PR work, to show that GM can be in the forefront of technology. However, for the last few decades, as well as today and in the near future, GM is the prime example of mismanagement and lack of direction. Hedging bets, by lobbying against laws on one side while making half hearted efforts to meet them and achieve nothing between is their way of business. GM wasted billions by throwing money and technology out the window. Changing the shape of bumpers and fenders, taillights is their method of design, which worked until about 1960. It is time for GM to close the doors, they cannot compete today.

Short Selling: The Free Speech of Wall Street

Free speech rights have nothing to do with short selling. Motivation behind short selling can include greed, deception, lying, stealing, and every possible criminal activity. Even, when no criminal deeds occur, short selling is purely a bet and speculation, should not be allowed. Of course it is clearly understood, that anyone who is for it, is a person condoning the above listed human weaknesses.

Short Selling: The Free Speech of Wall Street

Interesting? Free speech rights have nothing to do with speculation and it has no connection to greed, robbery, lying, extortion, etc. or any of these damaging qualities which can be part of someone selling short any stock.

.Me: Apple's Missing Link

Enter your comment hereAs an Apple user and fan from the very, very early years, I like the article and the points it makes and I hope that Apple will never falter again for mismanagement, as it did in the years between the "two" Steve Jobs period, even after he retires. I am also glad, that someone reminds us and stresses the point, that one main ingredient of this success and the reason, why Mac users love Apple product, because of the intuitive GUI, the mostly excellent execution of software and the a hardware design, second to none. For the last few years we can be proud to own and use these products and with pride comes love. Microsoft was never able to achieve this, even with Window's total dominance of market.
