The crucial question over whether or not Amazon will lose its edge with consumers from its long-time pricing advantage will now be played out. http://seekingalpha.com/currents/post/388001?source=feed#comment-6837161 6837161 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 08:12:13 -0400 If Investors Don't Buy Ford, The Company Will Buy Itself Back http://seekingalpha.com/article/647831/comments?source=feed#comment-6261831 6261831 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 10:09:18 -0400 "The private sector is doing fine." Pres. Obama later clarified his odd remark - private sector jobs remain 4.6M below their Jan. 2008 peak - but noted their relative strength vs. public sector job growth shows it has "not been the biggest drag on the economy." His point was that the loss of public sector jobs, down ~600K in three years, is a problem "the federal government could, with 100% certainty, fix." http://seekingalpha.com/currents/post/360041?source=feed#comment-6261221 6261221 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 09:48:50 -0400 Ford: Berkshire Hathaway Likes 'Government Motors,' We Like Ford Instead http://seekingalpha.com/article/628441/comments?source=feed#comment-6002151 6002151 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 08:11:32 -0400 Ford: Berkshire Hathaway Likes 'Government Motors,' We Like Ford Instead http://seekingalpha.com/article/628441/comments?source=feed#comment-6002131 6002131 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 08:10:37 -0400 Housing prices in just 2 of the 20 largest U.S. metro areas have returned to 2006 levels - Dallas and Houston. Oil? Luck? Perhaps, but a Texas law requiring any homeowner refinancing a mortgage or taking out a home equity loan to have at least 20% equity in their home may have helped shield the state from at least part of the housing bust. http://seekingalpha.com/currents/post/338231?source=feed#comment-5850201 5850201 Sun, 27 May 2012 05:12:11 -0400 In the next step after Dish Network's (DISH) pre-emptive legal strike, Fox (NWS), NBC (CMCSA) and CBS have now all sued the satellite provider over its commercial-skipping "AutoHop" technology, claiming copyright and licensing violations. Subtle questions over who controls the skipping could dictate whether Dish faces the fate of ReplayTV: being sued out of existence. http://seekingalpha.com/currents/post/336241?source=feed#comment-5796581 5796581 Fri, 25 May 2012 03:47:12 -0400 Why Investors Are Selling GM Like Crazy http://seekingalpha.com/article/587731/comments?source=feed#comment-5483281 5483281 Wed, 16 May 2012 04:18:21 -0400 "We can't just drill our way to lower gas prices when we consume 20% of the world's oil," President Obama says during his weekly address. Obama took the opportunity to advocate for his "all of the above" strategy, that relies less on foreign fossil fuels, and more on: "solar, wind, natural gas, biofuels, and more." http://seekingalpha.com/currents/post/195671?source=feed#comment-3376951 3376951 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 12:03:28 -0400 Pres. Obama's biggest challenge in reaching a debt ceiling deal is staring down Republicans intent on "distortion pure and simple," Paul Krugman writes. GOP leaders don't really care about the debt; they're out to destroy Obama. "Failure to reach a debt deal would have very bad consequences, [but he] must be prepared to face those consequences if he wants his presidency to survive." http://seekingalpha.com/currents/post/80813?source=feed#comment-1740012 1740012 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 04:44:10 -0400 Pres.

He fears S&P's "broad-brush" warning could whip up debt hysteria and push policies that quickly undermine growth. http://seekingalpha.com/currents/post/74202?source=feed#comment-1606365 1606365 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 12:18:49 -0400 GM's China strategy, working so well now, could eventually become a detriment, Heard On The Street says. Its joint-brand approach will boost Chinese sales but will also add horsepower to China's homegrown efforts to eventually target drivers the world over - a strategy Japan's automakers used to great effect decades ago. http://seekingalpha.com/currents/post/73809?source=feed#comment-1604979 1604979 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 17:30:36 -0400 Now that Obama and Ryan have revealed their respective plans, here's Paul Krugman's take: So far, it's "more about staking out positions than about enacting policies. On one side you had a combination of mean-spiritedness and fantasy; on the other you had a reaffirmation of American compassion and community, coupled with fairly realistic numbers. Which would you choose?" http://seekingalpha.com/currents/post/73578?source=feed#comment-1593407 1593407 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 04:55:04 -0400 7 Stocks Under $20 That Should Trade for $30 http://seekingalpha.com/article/261341/comments?source=feed#comment-1566359 1566359 Sat, 02 Apr 2011 13:49:30 -0400 The U.S. Shale Oil Boom http://seekingalpha.com/article/245092/comments?source=feed#comment-1509380 1509380 Sun, 06 Mar 2011 09:20:44 -0500 The House's package of spending cuts would "undermine and damage our capacity to create jobs and expand the economy," warns Geithner, who refused to comment on whether the government could face a shutdown over a budget impasse. http://seekingalpha.com/currents/post/69174?source=feed#comment-1481545 1481545 Sun, 20 Feb 2011 06:38:58 -0500 Is U.S. Economic Empire Breaking Up - Starting With Egypt? http://seekingalpha.com/article/252387/comments?source=feed#comment-1465573 1465573 Sat, 12 Feb 2011 11:24:13 -0500 Ford Motor Valuation Confirms Its Current Bearish Inflection Point http://seekingalpha.com/article/250929/comments?source=feed#comment-1449743 1449743 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 09:53:00 -0500 Take Your Ford and Double It http://seekingalpha.com/article/245459/comments?source=feed#comment-1395195 1395195 Sat, 08 Jan 2011 11:19:37 -0500 Despite IPO Hype, General Motors Bailout Stigma Makes Ford a Better Buy http://seekingalpha.com/article/237636/comments?source=feed#comment-1315704 1315704 Sat, 20 Nov 2010 08:12:16 -0500 Despite IPO Hype, General Motors Bailout Stigma Makes Ford a Better Buy http://seekingalpha.com/article/237636/comments?source=feed#comment-1314009 1314009 Fri, 19 Nov 2010 02:48:19 -0500 General Motors IPO Attractively Priced http://seekingalpha.com/article/236571/comments?source=feed#comment-1308609 1308609 Tue, 16 Nov 2010 03:52:58 -0500
