How Can We Fix GM?
Monday, March 30th, 2009Front page in today’s Wall Street Journal is the following headline:
Government Forces Out Wagoner at GM
One question:

I’m BAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!

The “Why” Behind the Madoff Fraud
Friday, March 13th, 2009Okay, I finally got to read a little as to WHY Madoff did what he did. From today’s Wall Street Journal ($):
Mr. Madoff did shed some light on why he started the fraud and whether he knew he would get caught. He said when the fraud started in the early 1990s, he felt “compelled” [...]
Jim Cramer is for Entertainment Purposes Only
Friday, March 13th, 2009This is interesting…
There is some “bad” language so listener beware.
Jim Cramer’s show exists for one reason and one reason only…ENTERTAINMENT! I don’t watch Cramer’s show because I find him incredibly annoying. Every once in a while he’ll say something worth listening to. The rest of the time it’s just noise.
I tried embedding [...]
