next, they will have to come up with regulations regarding whistleblower fraud.
upright is a must for evaluating neck and spine conditions, both degenerative and injury. it is important because it allows for images while under normal stress. i had and employee that went through this. what was unclear in a normal mri became very clear in the upright. his was done sitting. a friend of ours had hers done standing because her injury was close to the bottom of her spine.
a bounty system.....wild west.

LFT- got a little news.....cut to market perform. :)
me too. started out with puts and as i was allowed a few short shares, i closed my puts. i didn't want to end up with puts on a halted stock. only got a few shares though i tried most every day. i wonder if the bad news coming is a resignation of auditors.
didn't ride this lame horse lightly enough, but will mount seriously again. will be wearing new silks next time.
german had been considered because such a large portion of the populace spoke german. but common sense prevailed over emotions.
GOVERNMENT grabs too much power. and moneyed intrests have always run all governments. the limitations originally placed on the federal government were established for that very reason. power always exists at the top. power and wealth are synonymous. when this country was established, the original framers thought that they had set up a process wherby the wealth and power could be pulled down toward the general populace. that would only work as long as the public understood that looking to the powerful for easing lifes trials was the same as handing them further control of the reigns of power. that part seems to have failed and that is the most fearsome "too big to fail".
they are all monsters. monsterizing is the natural course of things. the biggest monster is the government. monsters love company. failure is an important part of progress and if it is disallowed in small measure it will happen in large measure. you and i are on the same page when it comes to too big to fail. we differ on it's origins.
why were the bond holders not given their rights????
politics.....shift the pain to the invisible.
it's funny how tax incentives become tax breaks then tax loopholes then tax subsudies then tax give aways. these were removed before and then re-instated when the consequences were recognized. but when big numbers show up in the p/l statements, politicians start screaming TAX GIVE AWAYS and the sheep start bleeting the established mantra. why is there no outrage over the profits of aapl or msft or ge? those profit margins are much greater. it's all political drivel repeated by the sheeple.
the tax deduction on interest of a home mortgage is a tax subsidy for buying a home. the standard deduction for dependents in a subsidy for having children. depreciation on capital equipment is a tax subsidy for investment.
we are surrounded by tax give aways. government is so involved in the economy that most activity is based on tax give aways.
denying one industry a tax deduction that other industries continue to enjoy is merely political favortism and that favortism smacks of facism where the government desides who is to succeed and who isn't.
besides....just who is it that is getting these tax benefits? it is us. the majority of the oil companies are owned by pension funds and mutual funds in retirement accounts and savings.
like the GM debacle, while the goverment took over the company to avoid bankrupcy proceedings, they avoided the concequences of bankrupcy law and in so doing, the raped the secured bond holders and transfered that wealth to the union. now, the union did take on additional liability, but the results were still in effect removeing assets from the pensions of both public and private employees and transferring them to favoured groups.
and people were convinced to fear george bush? what a pile of political crap.
we have a 10% mandate in illinois. mandates work.......economics don't....yet.
it was calculated that it would take all of connecticutt to power manhattan.
it looks like 1/3 of 7.75 mil. held by nonaffiliates. or...2.5+discount for the first 12 months. but then i always could be wrong.
rev. w. a. spooner returned from the grave briefly to congradulate all on getting obama sin laden.
bin laden cocktail......two shots and a splash
does he have a long form birth certificate that verifies that he was actually a citizen in the first place? rather difficult to disprove i guess, as i am sure that everything in the clerks office on crypton disappeared when the planet blew up.
someone doesn't know the difference between 'cruel' and 'asshole'. they deserve to be befuddled.
tks....i still have a few lft june puts left but want to get rid of them after the second citron bash. keeping my shorts. i just don't want to be left with options if lft suffers a ccme.
the next question is.....will your naked short position be automaticaly covered if trading starts after your exercise?
what happens to your puts now if it doesn't start trading? i remember there was a discussion but i didn't have time to follow, hence the question still remains.
on the contrary.....that is what most all of politics is. it's all about effect and deception, geared toward the unthinking.
it's called "politics"
we know the script by now, don't we.
halliburton.....is that the real name? i always thought that it had a rediculously long name. it was always "Halliburton The Company Formerly Run By Vice President Cheney". did they decide to shorten the name? ;)
a few shares came available and i shorted it. try that.
and thanks to skillz for selling!!! ;)
TZOO...I can't believe no one picked it.
is this now moving into 'buy out alert' territory?
yes, but you put it more forcefully ;)
thanks on CMG, ico. i'm short anyway.
CMG...think it goes red tomorrow in simpathy???
the body parts of the Trabant were made out of wool, so it could be done... no rust, but may have problems with the cows eating it.
and probably has less to do with management than the auditors. small fish are landed last. my tax accountant automatically files an extension every year, but has always been on time, down to last minute, but on time.
corporations don't pay taxes.....their customers do.
NFLX....i think dvd kiosks, in the eyes of most investors, are merely deck chairs on the titanic. they will probably end up as mere perks to help attract a few more repeat customers in those retail outlets in which they are placed. it's all about streaming market share and the cost of content now.
NFLX....the only thing i see is starz will be delaying content on nflx.
no quite...... the japanese reactors actually survived the quake. the tsunami wiped out the backup generation. now, i'm not playing down the "made in china" concerns.
talk about a tent!!!!
susans ulcer has been remedied, but now her right leg stiffens up about 20 times a day.
