In light of the Wall St bailout, here's a question to ponder: Is Google too big to fail? In the event of capital inadequacy due to fraud/investments-gone-wrong, should the government bail out Google with taxpayers' money since Google is so

I thought the points made by the author are valid. The reason why Adwords work so well is because the ads match our intention at exactly the right time. If I'm planning a trip to Barcelona next week, a Barcelona hotel ad would appeal to me

Precisely. There are plenty of private buyers for those papers at 0.08-0.10 on the dollar but the banks are no budging since doing so will render them insolvent. So Paulson will use the taxpayers' money to buy the papers at above market pri

As noted in the article, there are plenty of private buyers for these toxic assets. The problem is that the buyers want to buy them at $0.10 on the dollar while the banks want to sell them at far above market value ($0.60 on the dollar). Wh

Anyway, I wanted to let you know that, behind closed doors, Paulson describes the plan differently. He explicitly says that it will buy assets at above market prices (although he still claims that they are undervalued) because the holders

What I'm curious about is how Nik managed to get the marque angels to invest in him, when he's new to the Valley. And how did he end up in the Valley in the first place.

One alternative to short selling as a hedge is a structured note linked to inverse performance of a stock. But how scalable is this option? If anything, we are moving backwards with this solution as there would be less transparency in this
