Well, we hear a lot about "Maverick" these days. It seems the idea is that somebody who works through rules, regulations, or any type of appropriate behavior is just "in the way" of such a character. It's appealing to the American psyche. So, let's get an idea of what a "Maverick" might do in office, by taking a look at a role model... Maverick buzzes his own tower: YouTube - Top Gun-First Practice Mission Maverick "The One"... on foreign relations: YouTube - Top Gun - Maverick on MiGs Maverick on expediting reform in Washington?: YouTube - Top Gun "need for speed" scene Of course, we should mention that when Tom Cruise does Mavericky things in movies, they turn out right... after all, they're movies. Cruise does not crash four or five aircraft. If he "suspends his fighter pilot career" for something ultimately more important, it will turn out that he did it for a reason and will succeed brilliantly. That's why he's a movie character. We like risk takers. We think they have balls. The reason not everybody takes every risk, however, is that risks have downside. That's why they're called risks. So we like people who have a sort of uncanny instinct that allows them to take risks, redefining dramatic events by their sheer willingness to "just try" x, y, or z. The trouble is, we only like guys who are good at it. Something tells me that McCain is not that guy.
It may just be me, but hearing Palin say the word Maverick over & over makes me nauseous. "John McCain is a maverick....you betcha!" I agree with your opinion that John (my daddy saved my arse) McCain isn't the guy who would make a good maverick.
But it makes me feel all mavericky!!!! Never understood how a maverick can vote the bush agenda 90% of the time, doesn't sound like a maverick to me.. just another sheeple.
[size=+3]Lefties in Paradise [/size] [size=+2]First Leftie: Hey, I think I made a funny! Look here! Second Leftie: Yeah, that's a funny. Ha, ha. Third Leftie: Yeah, it's a funny funny!! Ha, ha. All Lefties: Ha, ha, ha, ha. ................... {Jack Nicholson character, "As Good as it Gets": "This is as good as it ever gets! Enjoy it! Get used to it. Embrace it. Because it doesn't get any better than this." Bill Belichick: It is what it is. Life goes on.} The World: Oh. Booo.[/size] //
A Maverick is someone who takes risks but is good at it and has a history of luck or amazing results. McCain was bottom of his class in the military, lost multiple planes in not much flight time, and really hasn't had much success in most of his projects. It's a shame that Romney or Ron Paul didn't get the nomination, they are 10x more competent than McCain is.
I think I exhibited way too many McCain-like traits to make it in the military myself. Fortunately, I understood that following orders and living a regimented life wasn't my thing. I did come to understand that often rules are there for a reason, and everybody else was not, in fact, a jackass, following "silly little rules" that did not apply to me. You know, like the rest of the U.S. Congress, in McCain's evident view, during the recent financial crisis. By gum, they could get the bill passed, if a Maverick just showed up to show them the way!!! (...er, adding political cover for a few house Republicans who didn't want to vote for it in the first place...) Presto! nearly 2 weeks of grandstanding and $110 billion of "sweeteners" later, after irreperable further damage had been done, we had our bill. I'm sure glad Maverick was there to put a mavericky hold on his campaign, proclaim the other guy to be playing politics, and uh, oh yeah that's right, hold up the political process by a couple of weeks. How are you going to make every political issue all about being a "maverick", when in fact the gear need to turn, the votes need to happen, and nothing is about your own personal oppositional defiant disorder? Some of the guys I've worked with have said he is the worst kind of guy to serve with, putting you in danger because he thinks he's special and different. But I guess that's second-hand chatter from other military guys, and does not count Once again, use your brain: Some guys in the military like McCain. More do not. PFnV
Do you mean this country is willing to bet on luck to get the job done?? what if luck runs out this time? Like the previous 8 years ! Keep waiting for luck , keep waiting. This is not good. People should learn their lesson.

Hornets return for Foster
11 Aug 2006 - 08:26:24
Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster is looking forward to playing regular Premiership football after getting the go-ahead to return to Watford on a year-long loan.
The 23-year-old also spent last season on loan with the Hornets, playing a key role in the club's promotion from the Championship by producing form good enough to see him named on the standby list for England's World Cup squad.
"I was delighted to get the call giving me the all-clear to come down and sign all the paperwork," Foster told the club's official website.
"Now I'm really looking forward to a year in the Premier League with Watford."
Foster had looked set to spend the forthcoming season as Edwin Van der Sar's deputy at Old Trafford, after United allowed Tim Howard to move to Everton.
However, the arrival of Poland international Tomasz Kuszczak from West Brom ensured United had enough cover to allow Foster to continue his development at Watford.

POSTED: Wednesday, March 28, 2012 - 11:01pm
UPDATED: Sunday, April 1, 2012 - 10:08am
TYLER — Russ Jackson is the fleet manager for the City of Tyler.
On Wednesday, the city held a ribbon cutting for their brand new "Compressed Natural Gas" -- or "CNG" fueling station.
"We've got 2 heavy duty trucks that are in our fleet. When it's all said and done, we'll have 15 light duty trucks, we'll have a fork lift on our premises here," Jackson said.
Jackson says it's part of a pilot program they hope will make a big difference. Especially in how much they're spending on fuel.
"Well it's $1.49 a gallon and this truck holds 21 gallons and so then you're looking at -- we've also got about 28 gallons of unleaded so it's a bifuel truck," Jackson said.
He tells KETK the only real downside to 'going natural' at the moment is the infrastructure needs some catching up to do.
He says more trained CNG mechanics are needed, much like with any vehicle. And that's an opportunity to bring more jobs to the area.
Jackson tells KETK the cost to outfit a vehicle to accept natural gas is about $9,800. But he says the cost is lowering all the time. It may be down to 5 or $6,000 in the next year or so.
"I've been asked political reasons -- this whole project hasn't been political at all. To me, the only thing is buying American and that's just...what we need to do," Jackson said.
The City of Tyler is hoping the natural gas project will really take off. A local company -- First Alternative Fuel has already set aside a spot right next to downtown where in the future East Texans can fill up their own vehicles with natural gas. And they say it will be a good backup for the new city fueling station.
"It will be a state of the art system. It will be able to fuel vehicles in the same time frame as a regular vehicle burning unleaded gas. 5 to 6 minutes to fill up a vehicle...a fully charged vehicle," said Jamal Moharer with First Alt Fuel.
In addition to the new fueling station they're building near downtown, Moharer says they hope to build others all across the East Texas area.
He says the station will also provide Liquified Petroleum Gas. That will be available to the public starting in mid-July.
The compressed natural gas will be available in September.

Jordon Mutch win MotD Goal of the Month
His stunning strike at Fulham was selected by John Hartson on Match of the Day 2 on Sunday evening.
Hartson selected Mutch's goal over other efforts from Cabaye, Baines, Aguero, Ramsey and Nasri amongst others and he joked that he hoped that it satisfied the conspiracy theorists that he has anything against Cardiff.
September produced a lot of spectacular goals so well done to Jordon Mutch for being selected.

After the car has been washed or in the rain, the cavity around the fuel filler neck may be filled with water due to a blocked drain. The water and debris can then enter the gas tank when the gas cap is removed for refueling. It is recommended to clear the cavity of any water or debris before removing the fuel cap.
Google+Car Problem Reports
Jaguar XJ6 Water May Accumulate in the Fuel Filler Neck Cavity Due to a Blocked Drain
Visitor, 1995 Jaguar XJ6
The solution is to give the small holes in the top of the rubber drain stopper a shot or two of compressed air. I used canned air purchased from an electronics store...and voila, the collected water drained out immediately. Using low-pressure compressed air is the solution recommended in the Jaguar XJ6 service manual.

The next writing prompt is based on an excerpt from the poem "Upright Blues" by Terrance Hayes.
…When these knuckles climbed
the keyboard's edge to the moon,they were my blues. I had a little song
for the departing day. I was a strayrooster-throated, bellowing hole,
I was a slim penny-colored skin.A bank of two-sided wounds
in phenomenal light. I had a little songfor the departing night. I transformed
& was transformed by pleasure.I was damn near invisible
like ice cubes fading into light.Friends, I want you
to never have a song for death.Once in the arms of a stranger
at the hour the paperboy wakes,I asked God to give me a different life…
Based on this excerpt, we are going to write a poem about waking up in the morning, that must include the phrase "I asked God _"
Here we go!

European Bank Stocks Jump After EU Summit Eases Debt Concern
Oct. 27 (Bloomberg) -- European bank stocks jumped after leaders agreed to bolster lenders' capital and boost the region's rescue fund in a bid to stem the debt crisis.
France's Societe Generale SA, Credit Agricole SA and Britain's Barclays Plc led the 46-member Bloomberg Europe Banks and Financial Services Index 8.8 percent higher in London. Societe Generale jumped 23 percent and Credit Agricole 22 percent. Barclays climbed 18 percent, BNP Paribas SA 17 percent and Deutsche Bank AG, Germany's largest lender, 16 percent.
"The details are important, but the fact that 17 euro leaders with all their different agendas managed to reach a deal is encouraging," said Dirk Becker, a banking analyst at Kepler Capital Markets in Frankfurt. "It might seem chaotic, but in the end the Europeans can find a solution, and if not they'll keep trying."
European leaders agreed to boost the firepower of the region's rescue fund to 1 trillion euros ($1.4 trillion) and persuaded bondholders to accept a 50 percent loss on their holdings of Greek government debt. Banks will, as part of the plan, need to raise capital to insulate themselves against losses on government debt. Still to be decided are the details of the haircut, what assets banks can count as capital, how banks will raise it, and whether future bank debt is backed by a national or European guarantee.
'Bumpy Road Ahead'
"The rally is more a reflection of the fact that expectations were very low," Philippe Bodereau, head of credit research at Pacific Investment Management Co., said in a telephone interview. "This has to be seen as an incremental positive but it is hardly 'shock and awe,'' he said. ''There will be a bumpy road ahead.''
The world's biggest banks bowed to what German Chancellor Angela Merkel called the ''last word,'' agreeing to write down their Greek government debt by half in the pivotal piece of the euro area's bid to stem the financial crisis. The Institute of International Finance, which represents 450 financial firms, agreed to ''develop a concrete voluntary agreement'' on a 50 percent haircut on Greek debt, Managing Director Charles Dallara said in a statement e-mailed at 4:26 a.m. in Brussels.
Euro-area leaders who called Dallara into a meeting at about midnight, forcing a break in their 10-hour summit, said that while the bond transaction will be voluntary, the decision resulted from an offer he couldn't refuse.
'Ruined the Banks'
''It was the fiercely delivered wish by Merkel, Sarkozy, Juncker, that if a voluntary agreement with the banks was not possible, we wouldn't resist one second to move toward a scenario of the total insolvency of Greece," Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker told reporters. That "would have cost states a lot of money and would have ruined the banks."
Josef Ackermann, chief executive officer of Deutsche Bank and chair of the Institute of International Finance, said today Greek bondholders and policy makers reached "a satisfying compromise" in their efforts to rescue the country.
Banks including Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc and Deutsche Bank have already written down their holdings of Greek debt to market value.
"Both sides moved towards one another and reached a satisfying compromise in the interest of Europe," Ackermann said today in comments confirmed by Armin Niedermeier, a spokesman for Frankfurt-based Deutsche Bank.
Capital Plan
Europe's banks will need to raise 106 billion euros in fresh capital under tougher rules being introduced in response to the crisis. Banks will need to have core Tier 1 capital equal to at least 9 percent of assets after writedowns on sovereign debt, the European Banking Authority said yesterday.
Greek banks will need to raise 30 billion euros of additional capital, Spanish banks 26.2 billion euros, Italian lenders 14.8 billion euros, French firms 8.8 billion euros and German banks 5.2 billion euros, the EBA said. The lenders have until Dec. 25 to submit their plans for raising the money to national supervisors.
Societe Generale, France's second-largest bank, said it will meet the additional capital rules from its own resources, and won't need state said. Deutsche Bank said this week it can raise its capital level to more than 9 percent by June without additional measures beyond those already announced.
Recapitalizing Banks
"The recapitalizing of Europe's banks will not in itself solve the sovereign debt crisis," said Simon Lewis, CEO of the Association for Financial Markets in Europe lobby group. "However, this plan is set within a timeframe that should enable them to determine how best to strengthen their capital positions in ways that treat all stakeholders fairly."
The European Financial Stability Facility, established last year to sell bonds to finance loans for distressed euro nations, has since also gained the authority to buy sovereign bonds on the secondary and primary markets, offer credit lines to governments and recapitalize banks as the Greek crisis worsened.
"We're in a much better position than we were 24 hours ago, but there is still a big question over just how they intend to leverage the rescue fund up to one trillion, and how the banks are supposed to get to this 106 billion euros," said Mike Trippitt, an analyst at Oriel Securities Ltd. in London.
Some banks may need to limit lending to reach the 9 percent core Tier 1 capital level which could exacerbate the economic slowdown, the Centre for Economics & Business Research Ltd. said today. If governments don't come up with some new money, Asian and Middle East investors will probably end up owning the bulk of the European banking system, the London-based research company said.

Part outrageous humor, part social commentary, Foxworthy's redneck routines are spot-on send-ups of American Southern culture. In "Totally Committed," originally aired as an HBO special, the comedian gamely tackles the subjects of baldness, marriage, commemorative plates and more.

Through an open door, at the end of this short gallery, the pleasant firelight gleamed, sufficiently indicating the room that had been prepared for her reception. She felt a little oddly and frightened, and the sight of old Dulcibella Crane in the cheerful light, busily unpacking her boxes, reassured her.
The grim old woman, Mildred Tarnley, stopped at the door.
"It's very well aired, ma'am," she said, making a little courtesy.
"It looks very comfortable; thank you — everything so neat; and such a bright nice fire," said Alice, smiling on her as well as she €Ould.
"There's the tapestry room, and the leather room; but they're not so dry as this, though it's wainscot."
"Oak, I think — isn't it?" said the young lady, looking round.
"Yes, ma'am; and there's the pink paper chamber and dressing room; but they're gone very poor — and the bed and all that being in here, I thought 'twas the best 'o the lot; an' there's lots o' presses and cupboards in the wall, and the keys in them, and the locks all right; and I do think' it's the most comfortablest room, my lady. That is the dressing-room in there, please; and do you like some more wood or coal on the fire, ma'am?"
"Not any; it is very nice — thanks."
And Alice sat down before the fire, and the smile seemed to evaporate in its glow, and she looked very grave — and even anxious. Mildred Tarnley made her courtesy, looked round the room, and withdrew.
"Well, Dulcibella, when are you going to have your tea?" asked Alice, kindly.
"I'll make a cup here, dear, if you think I may, after I've got your things in their places, in a few minutes' time."
"Would you like that better than taking it downstairs with the servant?"
"Yes, dear, I would."
"I don't think you like her, Dulcibella?"
"I can't say I mislike her, dear; I han't spoke ten words wi' her — she may be very nice — I don't know."
"There's something not very pleasant about her face, don't you think?" said Alice.
"Well, dear, but you are sharp; there's no hiding my thoughts from you; but there's many a face we gets used to that doesn't seem so agreeable-like at first. I think this rack'll do very nice for hanging your cloak on," she said, taking it from the young lady's hands. "You're tired a bit, I'm afeard; ye look a bit tired — ye do."
"No, nothing," said her young mistress, "only I can't help feeling sorry for poor old Wyvern and the Squire, old Mr. Fairfield — it seems so unkind; and there was a good deal to think about; and, I don't know how, I feel a little uncomfortable, in spite of so much that should cheer me; and now I must run down and take a cup of tea — come with me to the top of the stairs, and just hold the candle till I have got down."
When she reached the head of the stairs she was cheered by the sound of Charles Fairfield's voice, singing, in his exuberant jollity, the appropriate ditty, "Jenny, put the kettle on — Barney, blow the bellows strong," &c.
And, hurrying downstairs, she found him ready to make tea, with his hand on the handle of the tea-pot, and the fire brighter than ever.
"Well, you didn't stay very long, good little woman. I was keeping up my spirits with a song; and, in spite of my music, beginning to miss you."
And, meeting her as she entered the room, he led her, with his arm about her waist, to a chair, in which, with a kiss, he placed her.
"All this seems to me like a dream. I can't believe it; but, if it be, woe to the fool who wakes me! No, darling, it's no dream, is it f he said, smiling, and kissed her again. "The happiest day of my life," lie said, and through his eyes smiled upon her a flood of the tenderest love.
A little more such talk, and then they sat down to that memorable cup of tea — "the first in our own house."
The delightful independence — the excitement, the importance — all our own — cups, spoons, room, servants — and the treasure secured, and the haven of all our hopes no longer doubtful or distant. Glorious, beautiful dream! from which death, wrinkles, duns, are quite obliterated. Sip while you may, your pleasant cup of — madness, from that fragile, pretty china, and may the silver spoon wherewith you stir it, prove to have come into the world at the moment of your birth, where fortune is said to place it sometimes. Next morning the smi shone clear over Carwell Grange, bringing into sharp relief the joints and wrinkles of the old gray-masonry, the leaves and tendrils of the ivy, and the tufts of grass which here and there sprout fast in the chinks of the parapet, and casting, with angular distinctness upon the shingled roof, the shadows of the jackdaws that circled about the old chimney. A twittering of small birds fills the air, and the solemn cawing comes mellowed on the ear from the dark rookery at the other side of the ravine, that, crossing at the side of the Grange, debouches on the wider and deeper glen that is known as the Vale of Carwell.
Youth enjoys a change of abode, and with the instinct of change and adventure proper to its energies, delights in a new scene.
Charles Fairfield accompanied his young wife, who was full of curiosity, and her head busy with a hundred plans, as in gay and eager spirits she surveyed her little empire.
"This is the garden — I tell you, lest you should mistake it for the forest where the enchanted princess slept, surrounded by great trees and thickets — it excels even the old garden at Wyvem. There are pear-trees, and plum, and cherry, and apple. Upon my word, I forgot they were so huge, and the jungles are raspberries and gooseberries and currants. Did you ever see such thickets, and nettles between. I'm afraid you'll not make much of this. When I was a boy those great trees looked as big and moss-grown as they do now, and bore such odd crabbed little fruit, and not much even of that."
"It will be quite beautiful when it is weeded, and flowers growing in the shade, and climbing plants trained up the stems of the trees, and it shan't cost us anything; but you'll see how wonderfully pretty it will be."
"But what is to become of all your pretty plans, if flowers won't grow without sun. I defy any fairy — even my own bright little one — to make them grow here; but, if you won't be persuaded, by all means let us try. I think there's sunshine wherever you go, and I should not wonder, after all, if nature relented, and beautiful miracles were accomplished under your influence."
"I know you are laughing at me," she said.
"No, darling — I'll never laugh at you — you can make me believe whatever you choose; and now that we have looked over all the wild beauties of our neglected paradise, in which, you good little creature, you are resolved to see all kinds of capabilities and perfections — suppose we go now to the grand review of our goods and chattels, that you planned at breakfast — cups, saucers, plates, knives, forks, spoons, and all such varieties."
"Oh, yes, let us come, Ry, it will be such fun, and so useful, and old Mrs. Tarnley said she would have a list made out," said Alice, to whom the new responsibilities and dignities of her married state were full of interest and importance.
So in they came together, and called for old Mildred, with a list of their worldly goods; and they read the catalogue together, with every now and then a peal of irrepressible laughter.
"I had not an idea how near we were to our last cup and saucer," said Charles, "and the dinner-service is limited to seven plates, two of which are cracked."
The comic aspect of their poverty was heightened, perhaps, by Mrs. Tamley's peculiar spelling. The old woman stood in the doorway of the sitting-room while the revision was proceeding, mightily displeased at this levity, looking more than usually wrinkled and bilious, and rolling her eyes upon them, from time to time, with a malignant ogle.
"I was never good at the pen — I know that — but your young lady desired me, and I did my best, and very despickable it be, no doubt," said Mildred, with gi'izzly scorn.
"Oh, my! I am so sorry — I assure you, Mrs. Tarnley — pray tell her, Charlie — we were laughing only at there being so few things left."
"Left! I don't know what ye mean by lefty ma'am — there's not another woman as €ver I saw would keep his bit o' delf and chaney half as long as me; I never was counted a smasher o' things — no more I was."
"But we didn't think you broke them; did we, Charlie?" appealed poor little Alice, who, being new to authority, was easily bullied.
"Nonsense, old Mildred — don't be a fool," jsaid Charles Fairfield, not in so conciliatory a tone as Alice would have wished.
"Well, fool's easily said, and there's no lack o' fools, high or low. Master Charles, and I don't pretend to be no scholar; but I've read that o'er much laughing ends, oft times, in o'er much crying — the Lord keep us all from grief."
"Hold your tongue — what a bore you are," exclaimed he, sharply.
Mrs. Tarnley raised her chin, and looked askance, but made no answer, she was bitter.
"Why the devil, old Mildred, can't you try to look pleasant for once?" he persisted. "I believe there's not a laugh in you, nor even a smile, is there?"
"I'm not much given to laughin', thankee, sir, and there's people, mayhap, should be less so, if they'd only take warnin', and mind what they seed over night; and if the young lady don't want me no longer, I'd be better back in the kitchen before the chicken burns, for Lilly's out in the garden rootin' out the potatoes for dinner."
And after a mementos silence she dropped a little courtesy, and assuming permission, took her departure.

"The onset of what [author of 24/7: Late Capitalism and the Ends of Sleep, Jonathan] Crary has termed the 'new blandness' means there are few chances to acknowledge difference among individuals, and it only through seeing and recognizing difference that one cultivates empathy."
– from curator Claire Barliant's essay for the exhibition
The event will take place Wednesday, October 8, beginning at 6:30pm. There will be a reading of an excerpt from the play Unknown, a screening of a couple of minutes from the raw documentary footage, and a discussion.

Vringo Vs. Google: Google Did Not 'Flip-Flop' Or Concede To Ongoing Royalties [View article]
a. He states his purpose clearly. "I intend to write a series of articles, each addressing a specific issue that I believe affects the value of VRNG." In my opinion, the point of this article was to rebut Ravicher's earlier article. He then addresses this specific issue.
b. He gives all 3 reasons as propounded by Google for a delay. He does not cherry pick. He states that he thinks that Ravicher's argument that the judge will not grant a delay is wrong and proceeds to say why he thinks the judge will grant a delay.
In my opinion, what he is basically saying, in plain language for traders is, "Do not trade February options. Either go long the stock or the warrants. Yes, options can give you more bang for your buck but they can also fizzle out."
c. In line with my point a, he also destroys Ravicher's article by stating that Google has not conceded anything and gives specific docket numbers as to which areas they are still fighting, which is basically everything.
d. He also basically states that one should be cautious when trading this stock. This is actually sound advice when trading any stock. DO NOT RISK IT ALL ON ONE STOCK.
@those commenters who are bashing him
Please re-read the article again. Remember, he is not pumping the stock up. Neither is he bashing it. This article is just to address one issue that is of timing.
Also, look to those who are long.
SteveKimLaw is long but he has stated in one of his first articles, "This is a bet."
Kevin Porter who is also long has practiced sound money management. His position in VRNG is less than 10% of his total portfolio.
In my opinion, the odds of a win for VRNG are very good but even a 90% chance of winning includes a 10% chance of losing. So take care.
As James mentions, The risk reward at this stage is still in favour of VRNG but do not throw everything at it yet.
Be safe and sleep soundly. -
Vringo Vs. Google: Value In The Jury's Mistake [View article]
I agree entirely with what you are saying.
Be careful of what you are saying. If you have followed the trial, you would note that Judge Jackson (JJ) has made most of his rulings in favour of Vringo. The laches ruling was just about the only rule he made that was in favour of Vringo. To accuse a federal judge of accepting a payoff because the stock did not move in your favour is NOT OK.

Assessing Peregrine And Seeking Upside In The Space [View article]
The economy should hit its stride late into next year, says Moody's Analytic's Mark Zandi. He's forecasting 4% growth into 2014, citing continued strength in U.S. corporations due to cost cuts and better profit margins. All we need to do is "nail down those fiscal issues," Zandi says. "By 2014-15, the surprise is going to be how strong the economy is growing." [View news story]
I notice some anti-Obama remarks out there. It's not just Obama. It's the entire Congress, both parties that are not doing their jobs.
Last year after both parties could not come to some sort of agreement on the budget deficit, Congress voted themselves a pay increase. Wish I was in a position where I could vote a pay rise for myself? -
'No QE' Bernanke Will Disappoint Markets Friday [View article]
Would that really be a bad thing? A healthy market is a market that goes up, corrects, then goes up again. What I see now is a market going up and up and up with no correction. The reason it is going up is due to the artificial tinkerings of the Fed, the ECB over in Europe. The more you tinker, the bigger the eventual correction will be. I agree with you that the Fed has painted itself into a corner.
Disclosure: I am currently long the market but I have hedged my position with puts on the SPY. -
"Come on. This is farce," says tech legal site Groklaw, incredulous Apple-Samsung jurors took only 21 hours to deliberate over a 700-question form one lawyer says would take him 3 days to understand. Groklaw is also unimpressed with contradictory statements from jurors, several verdict inconsistencies, and the fact jurors reached a decision without reading a 109-page instruction form (.pdf). Some lawyers are predicting this case will reach the Supreme Court, due to the issues it raises about UI and design patents. (more) [View news story]
GLD: Bulls Are Playing A Dangerous Game [View article]
You have 2 disclaimers; one at the top just after the article title and one at the bottom at the end of the article. In the 2nd disclaimer, you state that you own intermediate term puts on GLD. This is consistent with your article. Yet in your first disclaimer, you state that you are long SLV. Why is this?
I was under the impression that silver and gold prices are positively correlated. They may not be perfectly correlated but they are positively correlated.
I can only think of 2 explanations:
A. This is a typographical error and you are actually short SLV, or
B. Your position in SLV is a hedge against your position in GLD.
A brief answer would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much. -

Vringo Vs. Google: Take A Deep Breath, The Roller Coaster Continues [View instapost]
Let me clarify. Before this came up, the stock was trading at about $4. Based on my analysis, downside was $1. Upside was stock could go to $8 to $9, let's say $8. That was a $3 downside and a $4 upside. Odds were better than 50% that VRNG would prevail. Hence I went long. However this was a straight coin flip. Hence I went in with little money so as to limit my losses in case the case went against me.
Now, the upside is definitely less. I have taken some money off the table at a loss but I am still long VRNG. Note that I am not working out hypothetical scenarios but rather working on money management. That is the no. 1 skill of a trader. -
Vringo Vs. Google: Of Settlements, Buyouts And New Jets [View article]
If Google buys out Vringo for, say, $12, then your initial $3 investment turns into $12 and that's it. You don't get anything more. Vringo is part of Google then.
If Google reaches a settlement, then they pay Vringo a lump sum and your share price goes up. Then Vringo sue ZTE and get another settlement and your share price goes up some more. Then Vringo sue another company and get another settlement and your share price goes up some more. And so on. -
Anti-American Unrest Threatens McDonald's Shares [View article]
Questions not answered were as follows:
1. How many stores does McDonalds have in Pakistan and/or the Middle East vs. a) USA b) Europe c) South America?
2.What is the percentage of sales on a region by region basis?
Personally I find the entire article to be rubbish.
1. The recession in Europe and/or the USA causing more people to eat at home rather than going out is likely to have a bigger impact than the possible future actions of these "extremists".
2. The health effects of fast foods causing more people to discard these so-called junk foods in favour of more healthy eating habits is also likely to have a bigger effect than the possible future actions of these "extremists".
All in all, a rather al;armist article that does not contribute anything substantial.
