   I would recommend reading the selfish gene and other works by Dawkins if you are interested in theories on the functional basis of mutations in the universe.

   I thought this article was going to be about the sky rocketing prices of coffee at artisan coffee shops and that a coffee bubble is upon us.

   Thank you for sharing this theory. I agree with the theory that low interest rates are meant to incentivize riskier investments and can lead to runaway prices in capital asset classes that eventually must correct because they don't pro

   Rotten tomatoes tells me if a movie is worth seeing, not if its worthy of a place in afis top 100. Yelp and others push answers to decor, service, lighting and mood above the most important question of "should I eat here?". I&#x27

    I used this calculator to compute the CAGR for the S&P 500 from 1995-2015. It calculated the average annual return to be 11.5% before inflation so roughly 9% after. You are correct that 10% is difficult but you can get really close. ht

    U.S. Manufactures have access to capital such that they extend net 30 terms. That impact on our working capital is tremendous and outweighs the percentage cost savings.

    I see the confusion. That is listing the staff of Apple as discussed in the Hobby Manufacturers as competitor analysis. As in, this is who our competitor is.

    I don't think this is Apple. On page 5 it specifically calls out Apple as being part of the Hobbyist market. That right there makes this even more interesting as this thorough business plan was beat out by a company recognized as Hobby

    Price is not the issue for me. It's the service quality and convenience. I used taxi's to get home from bars and I would say 50% of the time I would have a problem (card machine doesn't work, don't go to my address, won&
