You're saying that there are only 8 Germans alive who can do it. and 6 of them have a 99.9% chance of dying within 10 years, given that they are 82+ years old. :) On a serious note: A lot of immigrants make a lot of money (relatively

A lot of things are common sense. OK, "this part must go here because it looks like it does X." We just need a little motivation. Granted, doesn't mean you should rewire your house using YouTube videos

The idea that the US has a problem with too little accumulation of intergenerational wealth is patent nonsense. This is different from parent leaving you stock and bonds. Father dies, leaves company that makes engines to son and $50 milli

I don't get his outrage, one side will always complain. Depending on the state they could lose or gain rights if the feds transferred it. But the feds and states are quite separate when it comes to taxes, budgets etc so why shouldn&#x2

Yeah, but if he's involved in managing (probably is) his stress level, blood pressure etc must be going through the roof. Obviously he doesn't want to be losing money, at this point it must be about his reputation. My point was th

Apple's "burn rate" is about 33BN a year, which means that 250BN would give them ~5-6 years to find a new market in the event of a nuclear holocaust if they kept spending the same with ZERO income. In your case, that burn r

The rumor I always heard on Wall Street about Paulson was that he essentially stole the idea of the sub-prime short from other investors Ideas are a dime a dozen. He put his money where his mouth is. There's no shortage of people tal

I understand the chase (or I think I do at--that level) but I wonder: why not buy a huge yacht, some index funds and relax? Go out on top and all. Hand out chicken to housewives in Sub-Saharan Africa or something. And delay a heart attack f

Google had search and used that to prop the rest. Simple. And Google is making money by removing more and more "free" listings and replacing them ads and their content. Morality aside, eventually they'll lose their effectiven

It pays too much for content and costs too much for consumers. It paid too much because it could even more for it on resale. Bigger fool. They'll realign as contracts start to expire. Meanwhile they had a great run, until people awok

The real reason they cut it off is seating. Wifi costs practically nothing to them, so if you sit all day with their wifi, your cell plan or solving equations it's the same. Then, they'll find new ways to discourage it.

Russia is good at causing problems, because they cost relatively little. Russia has no military to fight a protracted war against a "real" country, and definitely they cannot project power thousands of miles away. Now if they get

The same principal applies to states, and that's why they shipped the gold to USA to begin with...to save it from the Russians. Gold is for when that stuff hits the fan: no one will take your paper money or if they do, you'll need
