This is a grey area. It IS rude to setup an interview then cancel at the last minute. It is NOT rude to send a thank you note the next day and say that you will be perusing other opportunities. Anywhere in-between these 2 conditions is go

You will not know how safe they are until accidents happen. I would love to see someone with money run an experiment with real drivers vs google cars. Create a worst case scenario course with simulated drunk drivers, blown tires, missing

When you treat adults like this they will not like or respect you and will want you to fail. Any time this boss makes a mistake his employees will make him pay. "Oh yeah we can't work this week because the boss told us to throw away our sa

On day 1 it was a success, but now it is a disaster for several reasons. 1. It is harder to attract people to come work for you when you company's valuation is going down. Obviously FB can afford to pay for talent, but that cost just went u

NO I don't have any proof. If wall street left lots of proof in their wake, people would have gone to jail during the housing crash. Maybe I'm wrong, Maybe the stock randomly hit 34,32,30,29 and plateaued because normal investors put in

"Historically" home prices went up in the US until 2006 for well over 30 years. It is interesting that you bring up cherry picking because that is exactly how mutual fund companies work. They have a lot of funds, the funds that do well sta

During the dot-com bubble there were IPOs where the P/E was far beyond 100. So it isn't totally crazy to think the market could whip people into a frenzy over the idea that 'they are getting in on the ground floor of the next google' What

Morgan Stanley makes a ton of money this quarter, while telling their customers that they should stay in for the long term (5+ years). It is too bad those people are getting screwed by Wall St. But a fool and his money are soon separated,

I suspect they will keep this up next week. They will also work out a deal with facebook for facebook to buyback lots of the shares that Morgan Stanley is buying. That way the stock price can go up while the market cap is going down.
