Can you? I thought yelp and google were very aggressive about burying businesses for this sort of thing. Maybe you could go on fiverr or something and collect a few, but there's no way that yelp doesn't catch 500 fraudulent review

The problem is that the US has capita available that other countries simply don't. If we follow this trend to it's extreme conclusion we end with a world where one country has all the capital and imports every smart, skilled, or o

That makes sense. Morningstar groups all near term liquidity together, and so I figured Apple had to be constantly expanding aggressively or something and needed a warchest 7x the size of microsoft's to do it. Sitting on bonds as amid-

The wealthy absolutely do not benefit from inflation, and lose the most money due to it in reality. Inflation depreciates the value of your liquidity, which is why every major company (except apple, it seems) dumps as much currency as possi

This may be a bit pedantic, but the phrase the author uses in his disclaimer "Experts agree that cryptocurrencies are a bubble." bothers me because it's kind of misleading. The actual fact at hand is ~96% of economists think

The problem is that if I'm giving a company a 5 or a 6, I probably just sort of tolerate the company in lieu of reasonable competitors, ie McDonalds being the only quick food anywhere near where I work. If I'm giving a company a z

Seven years in prison for any person who ever got in a body spray fight as a kid/teen! Seriously though, scale of impact only matters in the context of the weight of the impact, otherwise lots of preposterous things would be dire crime
