Disproportionate Sell-off of Japan

No doubt Japan has suffered a tragic loss of life and property, and the risk of nuclear radiation is real.  The problem here is the apparent panic sell-off which is already out of proportion with reality and more in proportion to a real war.  What’s pushing this negative market activity? …

RIM Blackberry Could do Extremely Well

I remember a time when Apple was such a loser company I actually hoped they would go under.  The story was tiring.  Just one newly designed cheapo Mac after another, always at a premium to market prices.  Unless you were a hardcore graphics artist who already knew the Mac there…

Dallas Ice Dome; Is There Winter Anymore?

Dallas, TX, home of the Super Bowl this weekend, and home of the avalanche roof over the stadium.  Did you watch the video of the avalanche?  Maybe they should rename the stadium or the bowl as the Avalanche Stadium.  It’s just another sign, this frigid winter, that it is all Green…

You Already Won the Lottery

Winning the lottery is easy because you have already won.  Has everybody won the lottery?  Yes!  How is that possible? You’ve heard that the lottery is a “tax on the stupid”.  You’ve heard that you can’t win, the odds are so stacked against winning that you shouldn’t consider putting your…
