What the authors fail to mention is that shell firms are also the favored vehicles for pump and dump operations. (My guess is that this is the reason for the short half-life numbers.)

Ron Paul, Barney Frank, Wall Street crooks, Glass and Steagal have a lot to do with a lot of things, I'm sure. But they had little to do with the banks that closed last weekend. ]]> Tue, 01 Sep 2009 18:13:50 -0400

I note that in explaining the downfall of American auto makers you neglect to mention the fact that they keep building cars and trucks that fewer and fewer people want to buy. Do you think that might have something to do with their current problems? Or how about the greedy top brass who keep upping their salaries and perks to new levels? Naah. It's the union's fault.]]> Thu, 26 Jun 2008 13:02:53 -0400

With their pal Rep. John Dingle preventing meaningful gas mileage standard upgrades in Congress, U.S. auto makers have behaved like alcoholics. They keep talking about changing for the leaner and better. However, it's always going to happen sometime in the distant future, never today, tomorrow or even next year.

John Keynes put it best: "In the long term we will all be dead." You go ahead and buy that long term screaming cheapie. I'm thinking short term and investing in today's performers. ]]> Wed, 25 Jun 2008 13:18:53 -0400

You say you are a financial advisor, Troy. I hope you don't talk like that to your clients. I think a number of your arguments are valid. However, they are undercut by the language you use to describe those who disagree.

Finally to Adam: I especially appreciate your reading and responding to comments. ]]> Fri, 02 May 2008 14:55:46 -0400
