"If my local bank gets busted for some shady-ass shit" Except that you will probably not put your money in a bank that's widely known for being a drug dealers haven, will you? I also am not a big fan of the "see I told you" attitude, but it

The title is a bit rough, but the argument thoughtful, and to the point. The "Market Participants" part is particularly interesting. I would however argue that the "cheapskates" are much fewer that is commonly thought. It is true that few s

IMO, it is not to be taken litteraly. I mean, you won't make a test and, based on the results, teach math to the top performers, and entreupreneurship to the others.. it doesn't make sense. I think that the "B students" know who they are: t
