While there is a bit of truth to that bitcoin will inevitably need to interact with the real world, so it needs to be convertible into other currencies. This will in the end require interaction with regulated institutions. If this were to b

I live in Redwood City and my building offers both AT&T and Comcast. The last place I lived in sunnyvale offered 4 different tv/broadband providers. You should certainly ask what a complex offers when considering where to live.

So if you think about any opportunity in the market you are bounded by how much liquidity is available at a price level that is mispriced. In many cases the size (or capacity) is correlated pretty closely this what the expected duration of

Well to start with people running small capacity strategies tend to be just as secretive as running a large capacity strategy. Strategy capacity is something that professionals talk about and doesn't get as much play when talking to a

The interesting factor here is strategy sizing. The 100 experts need to manage portfolios of a certain size. The amateurs don't. There are people who can carve out a living of a strategy that has sustainable alpha but would not be attr

The thing that makes EMRs actually hard to pull off is that each hospital wants to implement its own workflow. So EMRs are less off the shelf software and more a toolkit that an army of implementers can use to encode a hospitals workflow in

I don't think its suspicious. I would say it indicates that they don't expect to be sued, not that it doesn't think it will win on merits. Simply calling up outside counsel to prepare for a lawsuit would cost way more than $8

Maybe someone didn't want him to sign. $8333 pre tax seems a little low if they actually wanted the document to be executed.

That is largely driven by the content creators and they don't have nearly as much control over it. They signed the Starz deal before streaming was big and when it came up for renewal Starz wanted more for catalog access than netflix wa

Non-officers retention doesn't have to be disclosed with the same level of granularity. You might just see stock compensation expenses rise. At a large company retention might not even show up in a meaningful way in compensation expens

If the fed does nothing the party will continue. Institutions will need to chase yield and will still give money to VCs.

Because buyers don't want to be stuck with performing all the due diligence themselves. You have to understand that investment management as a business isn't really about returns. Its about gathering assets to manage and not losin

Thats not really how the people doing the buying say it works. See in order to justify their compensation and fees they tell their investors about their detailed knowledge of the market. They talk about how their investment process works. T

It turns out its not that simple. The conditions that allowed the housing bubble to happen were not created overnight. And contrary to popular belief these are highly regulated entities. The truth is that many individuals in government were

Its unlikely that AMD is going to be able to make serious inroads in the near future. nVidia has built quite a lead not just in terms of chips but tooling. I had thought a couple of years ago that AMD should be building a competitor to the
