Pro Traders Never Mention These Secrets [View article]
I've enjoyed some of the author's previous articles, but this one has nothing to recommend. Since the author is trying to educate the less experienced investor, I will mention a couple of things about shorting that he left out. First, the absolute best you can do is double your money if the company happens to go bankrupt. Second, your potential losses are unlimited. Buy and hold has been and will always be a viable strategy. Start with Warren Buffet, do a little research and you will see that generally people who employ the strategy do very well. I understand that not every single stock is going to be a winner. Occasionally every investor picks a clunker. But a good investor should be able to pick a majority of stocks that can he held for decades, possibly a lifetime, particularly if the stock pays a dividend. I am tired of people attacking buy-and-hold with really zero evidence that it doesn't work.

I could only expect someone with the user HerbertMarcuse (a Marxist) to make such a crass, thoughtless, heartless, inconsiderate, insulting, ridiculous remark regarding cookware and pressure cookers, 11days after the Boston Marathon bombing.

This is one of the best articles I have read on SA and there have been a few. The author has obviously done a lot of homework and I think he makes an excellent case. I like people who lean towards the optimistic without being pollyannaish.
Leonard Melman: Are You Prepared For Hyperinflation? [View article]
One of the more annoying issues is when people fail to define their terms. "Hyperinflation" is one of the most misused words that I can think of because people throw it around and really have no concept of what they mean. Any discussion of "hyperinflation" should state that it means inflation in excess of 'x' percent per year.

As a 30+ year casino floor supervisor, my prediction would be that in-room gaming will not be a significant money-maker. Gamblers like the excitement of the casino floor and the interaction with the other players and the dealers. What is the point of traveling to a casino and staying in your room?

It looks to me like those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. I can understand both of the previous commenters just fine. You, however, are unable to spell "proper", and your bio contains at least 2 serious grammatical deficiencies.
Perhaps they think that maintaining an investment grade credit rating is more beneficial to the shareholders than maintaining a dividend which will bleed the company dry.
Dell's Stock 'Too High' - Board On Hot Seat [View article]
I think Michael Dell certainly lowballed his first offer. I also think that this is just a negotiating number. Certainly if Dell and his partners went to all this trouble, they never thought the original offer would fly. They just want the shareholders to feel that the shareholders worked for a higher price. From a negotiating standpoint, this is a good strategy. However, as other commenters have noted, it does not engender any trust or confidence in Michael Dell. I am confident that there will be a higher bid, possibly 2, and I am long Dell, mostly since the offer was made.
