Apple Drops MacWorld: Good Move, But Likely to Start Another Steve Jobs Rumor

All we can do is hope Mr. Jobs is not in great pain. He is proof that American ingenuity still trumps all others. Steve Jobs is a man who will go down with Thomas Edison and hopefully history will remember his great accoplisments not only in technology but how a true blue CEO runs a company. Mr. Jobs took Apple as it was starting to turn brown and mushy and turned it into a shiny sweet investor treat. I have been holding 5000 shares since we hit $16 and now with the split adjustments Mr. Jobs has made me a millionaire and some. Thank You Mr. Jobs and may you find inner peace and love. I hope that you are granted much more time on this Earth but if not know you are loved by almost every rational and reasonable person for your contributions to education, leisure and science. May God Shine on you and your family!

Need a Mortgage? Try a Wedding Fair - Housing Tracker

The Reason the Roofer you qouted in the article was hurting is their prices are above "Market" and their capital sucking unleveaged assets brought them to their knees. All I can hope is Sanford and Son firms like Mclang roofing you qouted are an abberration and will go the way of all inefficent business (The way of the Dodo bird.) opperators.

Sara Lee: Management Succumbs to Analyst Criticism

I think Sara Lee over pays their Drivers. Do you know how much Sara Lee pays their drivers in wages and the legacy cost to the teamsters? On the Central California coast some of them make $85k per year. That is not counting the add in's for their pension of $5k per month and medical they will receive during retirement. That is crazy when most are using a 401k plan to have to pay this money and the actuarial assumptions and models are now blown with Treasuries now yielding zero for the 4wk and negative in frenzied trading. This means that Sara Lee will have to pay up to fund the pensions that were assumed that bonds and stocks would yield 7-8 per annum. I really am disgusted at the wages this jokers make. Unless Sara Lee gets their cost under control they will end up like International Bakeries that had to go on the pink sheets and had problems and sold off many of their key labels. Sara Lee needs to outsource the bread drivers or cut their wages in half. A long haul trucker makes half the wages of the loafers! Sara Lee wake up and smell your coffee management and understand more cuts are needed. The pension and defined benifit plan you pay is going to cost you are fortune. Learn from GM's mishaps and mistakes. I hope the best for Sara Lee but until I see meaningful cost cutting and a new pay scale for even the current drivers I see us going down to $5 a share. The dividend will end up being reduced to pay the wages.
