12 Cheap Growth Companies

You mean the government telling someone they can't have a certain procedure as apposed to an insurance company telling them they can't have the procedure and that, by the way, "we've just cancelled your policy?"

You people who are against health care reform I fear have been waterboarded one too many times. Get real, and pull your heads out of the collective insurance industry shoveled sand (or whatever that is they're shoveling).

Swapping CSX for UPS

Isn't the headline of this article backwards? It's misleading, at any rate. Who edits this stuff, anyway?

Also, Pocono, I think "ignorant" would be a more appropriate word than "dumb."

Congress: Shortsighted About Financials

Like a lot of people appear to be doing, you're missing the point. When it comes to the AIG bonus, it's not about the money. Those who do bad shouldn't be rewarded. The money itself is ancillary to the justification for the outrage. Using your logic, attempted murder wouldn't be a crime because the intended victim is still alive.

10 Solid, Clean Companies Ready for Stimulus, And 5 That Aren't

I'm trying to think of a company that DOESN'T depend on the consumer. All companies - indeed, all economies - depend on the consumer. Without a consumer, there would be no reason to produce a thing.
