Thanks, I understand that this information is available, but I wonder what the quoted price reflects when you go to Yahoo Finance, et. al.. I've asked this to my finance professor and professionals; there seems to be little/no consensus o

"Free" implies no exchange of value; a one way street. It's difficult to have a thoughtful discussion based on a false premise ( I'm assuming Ning -and any other free service- derives some benefit from its users ). That said, changing TOS t

Don't expect things to change any time soon. The problem is systemic, on a global level. This is not just GS; they only happen to play the market better than most. Banks have an incentive to take on greater levels of risk in order to attrac

Deflation is a coin with two sides. On a micro level, if your wages are deflating and your costs are not, it's bad. If the prices of goods/services required to run your business are deflating and the prices you are able to charge are not, i

Some of Warren Buffett's wisdom might be relevant here: I want employees to ask themselves whether they are willing to have any contemplated act appear the next day on the front page of their local paper, to be read by their spouses, child

A solid framework for understanding and addressing disagreements, but there isn't enough emphasis on the time constraints imposed by reality. I often find that you must be willing to let a disagreement stand, even though, with enough time,

Is this a widely held view? I'd like to understand the logic, so a reference would be appreciated. If a suitable standard exists, you would think they'd take advantage of it (increased adoption), no? I also don't like the idea of duplicatin

Is there a reason they chose not to use rdf/microformats? This is their proprietary FBML markup, I believe. Seems a little redundant, but maybe I missed something.

They surely had the right to release the video; however, the manner in which they did it will lead many to question the credibility Wikileaks once enjoyed. Until watching The Pacific mini-series (currently on HBO), I did not fully appre

Well put. To take this a step further, one can actively listen . By asking the right questions (frequently, posing them in an open ended way; using the word "how" is effective), you can encourage the person to examine their problem from a

Best of luck in your attempts to radically alter basic human nature and the foundations underlying the theory of evolution. Practical measures can be put in place to mitigate the negative affects of marketplace irrationality, but please do

This is patently absurd. "Burritos" beget nourishment . "Clothes" beget modesty . "Art" begets pretension . The irony here is that the liquidity provided by our financial system permits the use of money to acquire all of these things. It

The cable companies really dropped the ball on this one. They already have computers (cable boxes) sitting under every TV in the country. Can't think of a bigger competitive advantage.

This is precisely what needs addressing. CDS are over the counter trades without a central clearinghouse. Therefore little data is available and the counter parties create terms blindly. This is what they mean when talking about transparenc

I completely disagree. The excerpt you reference applies equally and without regard to accreditation. Just because accredited investors are the only ones involved does not mean an offering is exempt. The general conditions still apply. Let'

Creative destruction is the theory of evolution applied to economics. It will always be in the interest of some to hinder the pace of change; however inevitable it may be. Side note: Who Moved My Cheese? is a great parable on dealing with

That was painfully well written and you bring up very valid points, so thank you. Your facts would lead an economist to conclude that, theoretically, anyone selling through Flippa is sacrificing some value they have created in exchange for

This can get complicated quickly. Businesses are generally licensed by state and local gov't. Most however don't require sole proprietors to register since they would generally be subject to the same tax as an individual. My instinct would

Munger is clearly advocating for "the Volker Rule" and a middle of the road economic policy when it comes to regulation (It's hard not to agree). The finger pointing at Bershire here from self-proclaimed free market advocates is bunk. In th

The bottom-line in this article is that you need to take the steps necessary to get a project done. Even if this means self-educating, don't let that prevent you from accomplishing your goals. In reality, this isn't always feasible. That's
