Either VISX or VISA. They are the favorites of a whale I know...
I don't think he was talking about his wife-
You forgot to cite that quote. Let me help:
It should be noted that many of the world elitists that believe in the New World Order are Luciferian. In fact most of the world leaders for the last two thousand years believed in various forms of magic and the occult. Christianity was just a front for these people, but you will not find this fact in your history books or lessons taught in school. - Gary Busey
Ah, K. Got it.
Okay but... might want to give a disclaimer when advertising the "board favorites results"? ALIF's fall in PPS would surely lower the 20% average return.
Or not. Time for happy hour.
I thought ALIF was a "board favorite"? What happens when we consider it in the current "board favorite results"?

Just keeping it honest.. unless I am not understanding something?
BTW, I'm buying more ALIF. I did my own analyzation of the A/R's over the last year and found that the vast majority of them - and their revenues - are from a few concentrated companies. We already knew this, but I am seeing ALIF move towards America with Apple, plus they are broadening their customer base (52 total in July, 70 in December).
The question does remain though: How will they assure those A/R's get resolved on a more timely basis in the future? <---- I am betting the above thoughts are evidence that they will be able to solve the "A/R Problem".
Huh? According to your article, he just said "you'll have a new President", which might mean he assumes he'll not win the election. Did he specifically say he'll not go for re-election if he's sucking it up?
K, sorry.
Why do we seek to bring down our elected (by a democratic process) leaders? Human nature?
Still doesn't make sense. You can't sit out the Super Bowl, then sign with the winner, then ask for a ring!
On the other hand I am no lawyer... just a guy surfing the 'net.
Smile is simply saying that once it is all said and done, JPM wil be thrown out, and then the unit holders that sold when they didn't know they were being screwed will "halt all payouts until they've been heard".
Of course I agree with the first part but not the second. I have been in many stocks where there were class action lawsuits on behalf of holders during a given time period. None of these lawsuits stopped the stock from trading, or stopped dividends, etc. In my opinion, the ex-unitholders will simply have to go through their own process of litigation.
My apologies; I was asking if the conspiracy theorists had revisited this particular theory since the "big event" didn't occur (yet?) and it came off the wrong way.
I like to get any and all information, and believe that usually, there is more to any story than what meets the idea. But in this case, yes, I believe it's nonsense (I hope).
Thanks for keeping your non-stock posts to off-market hours lately-

hahahha Buffett said that? Gross!

In that parallel universe, the FFA board actually does this:
This is an offshoot of Value Microcaps. We found ourselves struggling to stay within the tight focus of low p/e, profitable microcaps. There were many good stocks that weren't profitable yet, had great prospects for a successful turnaround or simply had a great story. So we setup this board to discuss interesting stocks with high potential. As the board title infers, we want stocks that hold the potential to CHANGE YOUR ZIP CODE!!! Bobwins
Guys like Rawnoc are why you SHOULD post in public.
The discussion and debate is what makes Ihub useful (and valuable) to lurkers like me. I wouldn't pay a dime for it if everyone was of the same opinion.
Yes it is funny that gov't and deficit got bigger (waaaaay bigger) while Bush was in office, since usually the opposite is a strong suit of the GOP. Maybe I meant that the Republicans had their turn to screw things up, now the other side is getting their turn.
Anyway, this is all just opinion, and I really do not spend much time with these sorts of things; most of my time is spent on the business and health care policy. My original point, though, is that one-sided thinking usually doesn't work well. We need to be able to see the other side(s) in order to form the best course of action or opinion (in my opinion).
Thanks for the good discussion-
Sure hope none of that occurs. Seems like the Repubs had their majority for awhile, things swung a little too far Right, and now we're swinging the other way. Maybe a swing too far one way portends a swing too far the other?
Not sure it's an "effort to silence dissent", and like most things, there are (at least) two sides to the story (in bold is the other side to this particular story). Lastly, I do not claim a "side"; I just like to see them all.
Pelosi’s power move leaves House Republicans fuming
By Molly K. Hooper
Posted: 01/05/09 08:10 PM [ET]
House Democrats are poised to approve new rules that will significantly increase their authority while taking the bullets out of the few legislative weapons Republicans have in the lower chamber.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has approved the changes from the last Congress, when House GOP members frustrated their Democratic counterparts by winning over two dozen amendment battles on the floor.
Pelosi’s move has set up a divisive mood on the first day of the 111th Congress, which Republicans say runs counter to the tone set by President-elect Obama.
Republican leaders intend to fight the rules changes, which would curtail their ability to delay legislation by forcing Democrats to take politically difficult votes.
“This is not the kind of openness and transparency that President-elect Obama promised,” the GOP leaders wrote Monday in a letter to Pelosi.
Republican leadership aides say the changes will make it easier for the Speaker to run the House and protect vulnerable House Democrats.
But Democratic leadership sources dispute the GOP characterizations, noting that Republicans will still have an opportunity to offer an amendment to bills on the floor, though they won’t have the ability to invoke an arcane rule that would in effect kill the entire underlying measure.
Democrats say GOP assertions that Republicans would not be able to offer a “motion to recommit” are false. They say they are removing the “Catch-22” that Republicans have exploited to force embarrassing votes on issues such as gun control and illegal immigration.
The rules package also calls for the end of six-year term limits for committee chairmen. This move is not popular with younger members, but panel chairmen have been pressing for the change since Democratic leaders surprisingly kept the six-year limits intact in their rules package for the 110th Congress.
The change means that House chairmen could be in their posts until they retire or die.
The six-year limit was initially adopted after House Republicans took control of the lower chamber in 1995. That ended the seniority-based system that Democrats had embraced for decades.
Democratic aides argue, however, that term limits under Republican rule meant that the committee member who raises the most money would be rewarded with a chairmanship.
Seniority was a factor in the awarding of GOP committee chairmanships between 1995 and 2006, though fundraising is seen as vital on both sides of the aisle. For example, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the National Republican Congressional Committee will apply political pressure on members who are lagging in their committee dues.
Democrats were scheduled to meet Monday evening to discuss the rules package before an anticipated vote on Tuesday. Democratic aides at press time said there could be changes made to the package before the vote.
Republican leadership aides expect that their members will strongly contest the rules package.
Opposition tactics could include offering motions to adjourn and walking out of the House chamber.

"..they have not made their numbers and are unwilling to commit to future earnings or growth."
Agreed, and this in my opinion is a risk with VBDG. They burned themselves when they missed their last forecasts; what foolish company would commit to future earnings or growth while our memories are fresh?
That said, all stocks have risks. The risk/reward here appears favorable in my opinion.
But I'm just a guy surfing the internet.
"Keep sharing Rawnoc as I enjoy sparring with you...:)"
Exactly!
Granted I am a "nobody" and usually only use ihub for reading posts then doing my own DD... I am sincerely wondering what makes you think VBDG is a p.o.s. other than your arguments that "the stock price is low" and "people don't want VBDG's products in this environment" - because the numbers and my (and others) DD on the street tell me Growth is the word.
Really? Are you just antagonizing him to get a response? Because if you actually looked at some of VBDG's numbers - as well as did a little DD in the stores - you'd feel differently (I assume you're a levelheaded rational dude)
Play NWAU?
Yes, been drinking.
Loss of confidence in CEO after failing to meet their stated expectations, then I do not believe they addressed it in their CC as well as they could have. They just blamed a lot of macro factors and didn't get in to the details about exactly where in the operations they failed and why.
Just my opinion - and I'm still in because I like the sales etc going forward. Maybe they've learned their lesson about "overpromising and underdelivering"?
>>...and do your own homework in addition.<<
You serious Clark?
Funny; I was thinking the same thing!
Amazing how great minds can still have such strong biases that cloud them from rational thought...
I think it is that thought that is hurting the MOSH s/p right now. Also, given the value of reserves etc and everything else our case is based on, might the potential settlement come down because of the recent crashing?
It may be these factors hurting the s/p... I'm still holding though.
SCHIFF on Fast Money right now. EOM
UVE: Doubled down. I expect the PPS to increase towards the ex-dividend date of 12/2/08, and then fall back a bit. At least this is the pattern I'm used to.
Hahaha I may compete with those two in "wittiness" but not in "stock picking" - so I usually stay out of it!

I think MOSH is good trade to .36. Thoughts?
That's what I was thinking. If China wanted to BS their inventory to keep prices low, they'd say they had 12 months worth - not 3.
Already got his take on the VBDG quarter from the Prison board, and you're right: It's nice to have someone like Raw (and others) do the initial DD... a lot of them have financial analysis experience and devote their 9-5 time to investing... I for one have not made that personal choice so again, yes, it's nice to have others do some of the groundwork. It's the value of ihub and am sure you and many others would agree.
Easy cowgirl.. I was just faceciously brainstorming a way for him to get out of Prison earlier... maybe it could be community service down at the breadline, I don't know. I was under the impression he was going to be there for two months - which is a loss for all of us.
What's ironic is that he can post while in prison anyway!
SMB I, II, and III for sure!
hahaha no. But a true punishment is one in which the punishee (yes it's a word) doesn't enjoy it.
For example when I was a kid and had to "go to my room" because I was being a brat, I'd just go up there and play Nintendo. Beat many games that way, including Contra, Legend of Zelda, and Mike Tyson's Punch Out.
