They won’t, but they should. None of us like and/or respect Verizon as our service provider. We take them for granted, we hate their customer service, we feel that we are nickled and dimed and taxed for dubious reasons. They should receive more respect because of their contribution to the shrinking world and commerce and …

Pebble does not care what the markets are doing. It’s just there. On the other hand, WE feel the effects of the market with $500 plus rounds and $10 hamburgers and $ 4 chocolate bars. Me, I am carrying almonds and jerky around just to keep a few shekels in my pocket for gambling. So …

Take a look at the market cap of Devry (DV – $4 billion) and University of Phoenix (APOL, $10 billion) when you get a moment Mr. Paul Graham (Y Combinator and already bi-coastal) and David Cohen (Techstars). Now consider a rollup …

You just can’t kill US Air. There is always another banking yutz looking for a fee. This time MerrillLynch.CON is banking this absolute piece of crap paper. Just in case you have been under a rock…US Air’s fuel bill is $2 billion annually may make this the worst band-aid financing ever. I covered this short …

There are certain periods of the year where you just need to go out and enjoy life and walk away from the screens. Now is one of them. You have been and will continue to be churned. Sure, we have had a few great trades (FXP and SMN) the last month and new long entries …
