Assuming a 5% rate of return since that offer (2010) that money is now worth 6.95B, so GRPN is still below and at best, equal to that value.

Lets say you want to get into automotive racing. Assuming you want to race in professional series such as ALMS or similar you could easily burn 5M a year. 20M is plenty to live a very well off life, but its not "do anything you want

24 hrs even over the weekend and major holidays? Most things I've charged on weekends don't even post to my account until at least a business day has past. Can you even start the chargeback process on an authorization?

Interesting, I didn't know that there was research that showed people in those groups, when having the same socio-economic background as the majority, scored lower. Do you have any links to that?

Don't most patent trolls purchase or license the patents they are suing with as opposed to actually filing them? That seems like a pretty big distinction.

So essentially there's no way for you to ever feel that MSG is safe because the normal outcome is "no negative effects" which, for you, will never counterbalance the few studies that have shown negative effects. I suppose som

I believe a big reason Somalian pirates get coverage is because they have captured oil tankers (which the disruption of such shipping is obviously a huge concern), the ships they are capturing are both massive and carrying good destined for

As you said that total domestic demand hasn't increased as it was just a change in preference, I was implying that no one is arguing that the total demand for housing in the United States has suddenly skyrocketed. The change in prefere

Thinking about the math for a bit, aside from places like One57, it doesn't make sense to build cheap apartments. The majority cost is in the structure and land, finishings are a pretty small amount of the total cost so why not spend s

Is average really a good metric there or are they only including people in investment banking/trading/similar positions? Otherwise its pretty meaningless number given some of the top people make $10M+ and I don't think the ba

Why don't they? It seems like local municipalities would be incentivized to seize them for unpaid taxes then. Are they permitted to rent them out and not pay? If so it seems like it would be a great loophole for a bank to mutate into a

But I don't think people are arguing that total demand has skyrocketed, as I'm sure there are plenty of cheap and affordable houses in places such as Flint and other rust belt cities. The problem is the locations with jobs have se
