That's because Amazon is the most aggressive at attempting to push all of there value into stock appreciation rather than profits / dividends.

You are wrong. Though I'm not sure how common it is. You can get a free Amazon seller account and see for yourself. Many common items that you might want to sell have the option to commingle inventory. The benefit to the seller is that

I'm confused, you don't go bankrupt from too much equity. There isn't an existential threat with too much equity. Why do we need to worry about it?

That is surprising. They must be working under heavy constraints for it to be as poor as it is.

I would find it very unlikely if the one case I know about off the top of my head is the only case. Tip of the iceberg.

I think it is a pretty cool fact that because of the ability to use LED lights in this manner where they emit only the ranges of light wavelengths that are beneficial to plants, you can actually capture sunlight with solar panels. Convert t

Yes, but then what you pay yourself out of the organization is taxable income.

Why would you prefer to make a hole in your doorframe rather than the wall? Sheetrock is so much easier to deal with. But perhaps you are referring to a concrete construction, which is uncommon in the US.

Private prison services like phone and email systems are still able to take advantage of prisoners, even in public prisons.

I know of at least one case where a judge was being paid by a private prison system to send people to them. I suspect that was not and is not the only case of that happening. Big money has a way of worming itself into other systems and mani

Around 40% of the prison population is there for violent crime. And for most, it's probably a very loose definition of "violent". Few would argue that you shouldn't put violent offenders in prison, but that's not th

It seems to me that in modern drives, there is no longer that much variance in average longevity. At least close enough that when I have tried to compare drives, the cheaper drive almost always ends up being the cheaper drive even when adju

The rural market, RV market, boating market will always be an enormous niche. But fiber and other broadband tech like 5g wireless may win out in the long or mid term. Leaving only the very secluded rural market. I would not have guessed tha

Instagram was already valued at $500 million from a recent major funding round by the top VC firms in silicon valley. They were also one of the top apps in the app store and were leagues ahead of Facebook when it came to photos. So again, i

A lot of times, my more specific searches will show maybe 4 results or less and then they just start showing "you may be interested in" results that have nothing to do with what I am searching but are related to things I bought in

Out of the question. A dividend would require both the corporation and the recipients to ... gasp ... pay taxes!

Buying competitors when they are eating your lunch hardly requires shrewd strategy. Those were not big brain decisions and not contrarian at all. As for maintaining control, I would chalk that up more to the fact that for years he had a com
