  • Comex gold finished with sharp losses, -1.6% to $1,670.70/oz. and its lowest settlement since Aug. 30, and futures continue to spiral lower, down ~2% at $1,664. The usual reasons are cited - expectations of a fiscal cliff resolution, a drop in the U.S. current account deficit, rising homebuilder confidence - but gold has been losing out in a recent trend toward riskier assets[View news story]
    LMAO at gold and silver bugs... I enjoyed reading all your predictions of $2000 Au and $60 Ag by the end of 2012 throughout the year. I guess you fellas didn't get enough monatomic gold to fuel your Mayan spaceship away from Earth this week. Cheers!

  • Weed Stock Spotlight: Medbox [View article]
    Not surprised at all about this kind of setup. Hard not to see the $ signs when a black market goes legit. I live in Seattle and it has a great vibe of left-leaning capitalists.

  • Wal-Mart (WMT) reportedly plans to deny health insurance to new employees who work fewer than 30 hours/week. The policy change will use an Obamacare loophole to shift the costs of health insurance to the government. [View news story]
    I don't love silly neo-cons. Actually they are quite ridiculous.

  • "There are two enormous problems with the story that manufacturing is returning to the U.S.," writes Felix Salmon. "(A) It’s not creating many jobs, and (b) the jobs it is creating are not the good jobs which people want to have for many years. Instead, they pay $15ish per hour, which is what teenage babysitters make in New York." [View news story]
    What a tough guy this anonymous WMARKW is? I bet in real life he is just as badass. LOL!

    davidbdc, nice strawman off the bat pointing out 23 and 27 single able-bodied unemployed collecting benefits. You first have to have a job to collect benefits and the maximum benefits barely cover the expenses of one person which doesn't last for your entire life as I said it only is for 99weeks max. You wrote this big long boring story about how awesome you are and how much you give and how you resist spending and how everyone should be like you. Dude, it is so obvious you are trying to make up for your missing empathy chip but I'm not surprised considering most folks here with high comment counts on SA are sociopaths.

    Honestly, it is really hilarious when dudes like Wyatt Junker hammer home your point immediately after your post.

    Why is having an iphone, sports tv, and a $50k pickup greedy when you are laid off and collecting a max of $450 a week (max 99 weeks) and your private health insurance costs $1000 a month for you and your family? Seems like a really ignorant and shallow perception of what it is like to be unemployed.

  • It's Insiders Versus The Pessimists On Berry Petroleum [View article]
    Good to see you are over the election results, Bret. ;^) Not that I have your credibility but I agree that BRY seems like lower hanging fruit if you are into oil E&P companies. I think the fact it is mostly in oil and liquids is a good thing.

  • Tens of thousand of people marched in Madrid and Lisbon yesterday to protest austerity measures in Spain and Portugal, where demonstrations were held in 40 cities altogether. The 65,000-strong protest in Madrid followed a rally of over a 1M in Barcelona four days earlier and after the government said on Friday that further austerity measures were imminent. [View news story]
    that is ridiculous... European democracy is TRUE democracy where you have choices unlike USA where you have only two corporate choices at the federal level.

    The reason Barcelona had a million people show up is because they were less protesting austerity and more signalling their desire to split from Spain.

    Don't go into engineering unless you intend on being alpha dog... you'll end up being simply a computer programmer and your tasks will be mundane.

  • Add one more sell side name to the list of firms giving harsh treatment to Chipotle's (CMG -22%) poor Q2 results. UBS now says it expects margins to be pressured as same store sales growth continues to slow, and food prices re-accelerate. It slashes its price target on the shares by 20% to $355 from $443, but maintains its Neutral rating.  [View news story]
    LOL! $10billion for a burrito company? Enjoying reality kick in here.
