American Express lets Twitter users shop via tweet
Users can now sync their American Express cards to buy products directly on Twitter
IDG News Service - American Express is rolling out a new service on Twitter that lets card holders make purchases on the social network through specialized tweets.
Dubbed "Amex Sync," the technology integration will allow Amex users who sync their cards with Twitter to buy products just by including special hashtags. It launched on Monday with an offer for discounted Amex gift cards and will expand to include a range of physical products from companies including Amazon, Sony, Urban Zen and Microsoft's Xbox business.
It works like this: Cardmembers can sync their eligible cards to Twitter by going to sync.americanexpress.com/twitter and adding a billing and shipping address. Starting Monday, users can tweet #BuyAmexGiftCard25 to purchase a US$25 Amex gift card for $15.
The system sends users a confirmation tweet in their @ Connect tab within 15 minutes, and after the user tweets back to confirm the purchase, the product will ship to the address on file via two-day shipping, courtesy of American Express.
Other products will go on sale beginning Wednesday, such as an Amazon Kindle Fire HD for $150 and an Xbox 360 4GB console with a three-month Xbox Live subscription for $180. Users can search for products by checking the "favorites" that will be highlighted on the @AmericanExpress Twitter page, American Express said in a press release on Monday.
Offers from merchants will be available throughout the year. "We want to ensure long-term, sustainable value for cardmembers who sync," said Shari Forman, vice president of global strategy, in an email interview.
The technology is an extension of "Card Sync," a proprietary service announced last March that is designed to offer couponless savings to Amex card holders who tweet special-offer hashtags. The success of that service showed that there was "significant power" in combining Amex's assets with the Twitter platform, Leslie Berland, Amex's senior vice president of digital partnerships and development, said in a statement.
The service is also designed to let users take advantage of discount offers in brick-and-mortar stores. In a video about Card Sync, a user shopped for flowers after tweeting #AmexFlowerOffer, and received an automatic credit on his card statement following the purchase, Amex said. Users' account information will be kept private and won't be shared, Amex said.
American Express said the Card Sync integration could eventually be applied to other social networks, but it declined to specify which ones.
"Twitter is the most dramatic manifestation of what our technology can do because it's all happening in 140 characters or less and showcased in a hashtag," said Amex's Forman. But "the beauty of the Card Sync platform is it's very flexible and portable," she said.
The move shows that Twitter is gradually establishing a presence in e-commerce as some of its largest competitors are also becoming more active in this area. Facebook, for example, launched its Gifts product last year, and just last month unveiled its physical "Facebook Card" for making purchases at brick-and-mortar stores.

I'm using this tablet for last 4 months.. All the features stated for this tab is absolutely true. Of this range it is the best product that much I can say... Touch is fine. The screen is big (8 inch). Battery backup is good... but the speaker is not up to the mark (though it goes very well with the head set given with it). Front cam is 0.3 megapixel.. (so you cannot expect a good quality image with it), the back cam is just ok (2 megapixel without flash). I found a bit difficulty to find screen guard though its now available in flipkart along with cover. WiFi acts superb. Internet browsing... (Expand)
XOLO QC800 Review
Bought this once and after using it for a few days, I m recommending it to everyone I know. :D A very happy customer. !!!

+Great video quality, very good display.
+Very good quality touch sensor, comparable to any other ultra luxury phone or tab.

+Very bright screen,... (Expand)
Design wise product is good,but performance is very poor. Multitasking is almost not possible.Get hang very frequently.TOTALLY NOT SATISFIED .
After a lot of research I settled upon this one. I wanted a 3G enabled tablet, preferably with a larger screen than 7', camera wasn't a priority, and on a tight budget. This one fit the bill perfectly.
-Performance has been flawless so far, no lags or bugs.
-Display is crystal clear, bright and sharp.
-No complaints with build quality or its weight either.
-I like the 4:3 aspect ratio.
-Battery's nothing short of awesome, after 12-14 hours of rigorous usage it's still going strong.
-Haven't found a way to root it as of yet.
-Xolo really needs to work on providing timely android... (Expand)

Some random observations on Tuesday night's MLB All-Star Game:
Kenny Rogers. What guts. What poise. Standing in front of the crowd during the introductions, taking his boos like a man. Those cameramen he assaulted took it like men, too, but man, Rogers should get a Purple Heart for the battle wounds he must have sustained last night.
Seriously, the type of apologist butt-kissing Kevin Kennedy ("let's put this behind us"), Joe Buck and Tim McCarver heaped on Rogers leads to his sense of self-entitlement and being above the law. It has to be a reason why Rogers thought he could attack two cameramen and get away with it. When you are a famous athlete, there is never a shortage of sycophantic fans and media members who want to be your apologists, in addition to the bunker mentality that exists among players and coaches when a teammate does something wrong. And, Kevin, Joe and Tim, prefacing your butt-kissing with "we, of course, don't condone what he did" doesn't make your comments any more objective.
(Rogers, by the way, has gotten away with his attacks so far. He has yet to serve a game of his 20-game suspension -- which will probably be reduced on appeal -- he has yet to lose a dollar of pay, he got to appear in the all-star game, and the only remorse we have on record is a prepared-statement apology nearly a week after the fact, along with one Q&A with the media Monday.)
Kenny, your wrists must be in agony from all those slaps.
Why was Joe Buck handling the pregame announcements anyway? Nine innings of on-air banter with McCarver isn't enough? Can Buck do it better than the Tigers' regular PA announcer, who mans the Comerica Park microphone 81 times a year? Or is ramming Buck down our throats a part of Fox's contract with MLB?
Class move: Having a brass quartet play "God Save the Queen" to honor Britain after last week's terror bombings. Unfortunately, to do it within the 45-minute parameters of the pregame festivities, the pregame organizers had to eschew "Oh Canada," even though an entire Canadian color guard was holding a giant Maple Leaf in right-center field, next to Old Glory.
The Blue Jays' Shea Hillenbrand, the lone representative from the lone major league team left in Canada, looked heartbroken -- as soon as he got done pinching himself that he was actually at the all-star game.
Tacky move: Fox desk maiden Jeanne Zelasko and her bright orange "please, please, please gossip about my pregnancy" dress, which looked like something Scarlett O'Hara would have worn to bed in "Gone With The Wind."
Most women as far along as Zelasko appeared to be are far too self-conscious to appear on live TV in front of several hundred million people ... unless they are trying to steal some of Jennifer Garner's thunder on the about-town pages of the New York Post.
Zelasko's dress was probably the most embarrassing girl-gossip moment to hit an American sporting event since Lisa Guererro dropped an "I'm getting married" reference into her sideline reporting during a Browns-Rams Monday Night Football game in 2003.
Oh, yeah ... there was a game, too.
The game's lead-off batter, Bobby Abreu, takes a meatball from Mark Buehrle and slices it into left field for a single. This after he hit a record 41 homers in the home run derby the previous night. Too bad all-star week performances don't factor into MVP voting. Abreu has, for the moment, supplanted Dave Concepcion and Omar Vizquel as Venezuela's favorite son.
Dontrelle Willis brings the spice, the hot sauce, the delivery that is all arms and legs and pizazz. If he were a Chinese dish, he'd be brought to your table sizzling with hot peppers as a garnish. But even if you are a human habanero pepper, you still need to be able to throw your breaking ball for strikes. Against Mark Teixeira in the sixth, he couldn't, and Teixeira took him deep. It was an opposite field shot, Teixeira's first off a lefty this year,and it was probably the back breaker for the NL. At the time, it was 7-0.
Bob Wickman threw only five pitches in the ninth inning. Thank you, Terry Francona. Wicky needs every last drop of juice he has left to save games for the Indians.
The NL rallied to within 7-5 before they ran out of outs. It stretched the NL's winless streak in the midsummer classic to nine. The last NL win was in Philadelphia in 1996.
If this keeps up, NL players aren't going to be too happy about this winner-gets-homefield-in-the-World-Series format. Unless you play for the Rockies. Then you won't give a crap if they move the World Series to a neutral-site field in Shanghai, China.
Wait, forget I said that. Bud Selig, are you listening? Forget I said that.

PS Vita Owner Stats - updated 9:03 a.m. November 11, 2013
I've had my PS Vita since February 15, 2012. (First Edition Bundle) I don't pick it up every day, but often I actually do, some days I hardly put it down. Depends on what's going on IRL and inside my PS Vita
My favorite PS Vita games are PixelJunkMonsters Ultimate HD; LEGO Lord of the Rings; LEGO Legends of Chima: Laval's Journey; ToM Blitz; LBPV; ---> Next favorite will be Killzone: Mercenary probably. The BETA is really, really good. I wasn't sure about getting it until later, but now I will pre-order it!
This is my lockscreen:
I set this in place many, many months ago, the screenshot is from 2012.
I 100% both LEGO games in my favorite list above. I don't replay them at the time, but might at some point in the future. I do currently play the KM Beta; ToM Blitz (100%); PJMUHD (57%) and sometimes LBPV, Men's Room Mayhem and Jetpack Joyride, both those last one's have pesky 1 or 2 trophies I don't have yet.
Well i have had my psvita since feb15th as well, i play it almost everyday on my way to work or gym and back home, i use it mostly for gaming but from time to time i use twitter and music unlimited over wifi network.
I remember the first day i got it, i think i played Little Deviants the whole night lol, i was laughing at how much fun the game was then i decided to buy another vita for my little nephew with little deviants and wipeout 2048 (ps plus wasnt supported on the vita at that time) so we used to play Wipeout 2048 online together.
i remember telling him that finally we'd been able to play online together without me having to call him up over the phone to let him know when to join a race lol (Motorstorm Arctic Edge didnt have join a friend option so there was no other way to play together)
My favorite games thus far are : Little Big Planet, Sly Cooper Thieves in Time, Sonic&All Stars Racing Transformed, Uncharted Golden Abyss, Pixeljunk Monsters Ultimate HD, ModNation Racers Road Trip, Sound Shapes and Wipeout 2048.
Games i'm looking forward to play: Killzone Mercenary, Tearaway, Kick&Fennick, Dead Nation, Flower, God of War 1, 2, Flame Over, Broken Sword: The Serpent's Curse, Helldivers AND if insomniac games bring Into the Nexus to the vita then im looking forward to play it on my vita as well.
My wishlist for 2014: New Brutal off road Motorstorm game, New Resistance game developed by Insomniac or Bend Studio, Bend's next project (hopefully Syphon Filter with online multiplayer), Gravity Rush 2, MediEvil, Heavenly Sword and new IPs.
Im currently playing Pixeljunk Monster Ultimate HD, Superfrog HD, Little Big Planet online and Killzone Mercenary beta, its been over a year since i bought my vita and i can honestly say this is what i wanted the psp to be. Extremely happy with my purchase but of course i want more AAA titles.
I am not a happy vita owner.... Yet. I plan to buy 2-3 in the next couple of months for me and my kids but I have a couple of questions. Are the Vita's region locked? I have seen some apps on youtube that I have not been able to find in the US PS store. What are some of the hidden games, apps, and features that few people talk or know about that I should know about? What are some must have accessories for the Vita. Thanks in advance!

In my opinion party app is great, you can be playing any game and talking to your friends even if they are not playing the same game, i like Near but not all games support it.
must have accessories? i think a screen protector is a must have for your kids.
BTW Sly Cooper Thieves in Time is $14.99 ps3 version with vita included and $16.96 for the vita version alone on amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0050SXU3Q/?tag=v

Very engaging. The author beautifully created a book with a mixture of history and mystery. Highly recommend this book.
This was the best book I have read in a while - and I am reading something all the time. I don't know which I enjoyed more, the story or the author's exquisite wiriting. Together they are a terrific read. I'm sure I will find it hard to follow up with another book I enjoy as much as this one for some time. Highly recommend this book.
My mother grew up on Bainbridge Island during the internment of the Japanese Americans and it was interesting to recognize the locales throughout the book. I loved the story, beautifully written and inspiring.
What a beautifully told story. It was hard to put down as it gathered steam toward the end. I especially enjoyed the use of the storm and the cramped court room to mirror the tension in the plot.
Poetic prose, complex characters and a richly described landscape support a love story set against a murder trial. Hard to put down.
Excellent book - highly recommended, well written
This vivid and beautiful novel richly portrays the people and places of a small isolated fishing community. On the surface, the book is a murder mystery courtroom drama which encourages the reader to think analytically about the events described in the book. In contrast, the other part of the book describes a tragic and touching love story where different characters cope with different tragic losses. On both sides of the story, the tragedy results from the dramatic racial tensions between two pacific communities during World War II.

The Minnesota House on Thursday afternoon approved legislation to legalize same-sex marriage, moving the state one step closer to embracing marriage equality.
The state House voted 75-59 to extend the freedom to marry to same-sex couples with just two weeks left in the 2012 legislative session. The state Senate is expected to pass the bill on Monday, and Gov. Mark Dayton (D) said he will sign the bill into law.
Minnesota would be the first in the Midwest to approve legislation that allowed same-sex couples to officially tie the knot. Another state in the Midwest, Iowa, permits same-sex marriage due to a court ruling.
Delaware and Rhode Island have also approved same-sex marriage in the past week.
Minnesota voters in November rejected a proposed constitutional amendment that would have defined marriage as solely the union of one man and one woman.
The YouTube account for the Minnesota House uploaded video on Thursday highlighting the history of the legislation. Watch below:

this place we came across in our search for good stylish and superb value food made our wishes come true. great food served with a smile . we could not have asked for more. we will return whenever we vist london central for sure...
. My partner and I came to Browns as we had both heard of it before and thought it looked quite smart from the outside, and came in for a drink. We had to be asked to be served as the waitress was just standing around polishing various things behind the bar area. We waited about ten minutes before asking her to serve us, she then replied this isnt the bar this is restaurant bar, or something to that effect, so we then moved up the bar which had no staff and waited a few more minutes while this waitress just blankly looked at us, and then a male bar member served us our drinks which was fine. We then took our drinks towards the back of the bar which had no signs and went and sat at a small table and started to relax and enjoy a drink. About five minutes after sitting down, a lady who worked at the bar or restaurant came over (she was not in a white uniform she was just wearing a black dress, so we assumed she was some sort of manager) and were told we could not have our drinks there!!!! We could not BELIEVE we were told to leave, as this was apparently the restaurant section of the hotel, it was not signposted, had no barriers, and we were not welcomed or told where to sit! We had also walked straight past another waitress in that area before we sat down, with our drinks in our hands I will add, and didn't inform us we were not allowed to drink there, she just smiled at us and let us walk on by no problem!!! We would never EVER have bothered coming into your bar if we would have known we would be made so unwelcome!!! The other point we would like to make is we cannot believe how rude the member of staff was, telling us we could not drink there, how was she supposed to know we werent going to order food? We were going to until she told us to leave! We were causing no disruption, we were smartly dressed and it was my 23rd birthday. I am in my twenties an my boyfriend is in his thirties and we feel like you were so rude just because we were young, if this was our parents dining or drinking here, you would never dream of speaking to anyone like that!! I am also writing to your head office explaining what happened, and the lack of communication and poor management and rude staff. I have previously worked as a mystery shopper and only wish that your establishment was a venue I had to assess as I have received better customer services from mcdonalds. We were looking in London for a wedding venue and I shall be sure to write up a review on your establishment.
Being one of those West End Show people.. I can safely say that I have never had a bad experience at Browns, the service has always been friendly, inviting and the food has been lovely every time, the staff have always gone out their way to accomodate my dietary needs, and they have a brilliant wines/beer/cider/champagne/drinks list suitable for almost everyones tastes.. I may have just been lucky on the occasions that I have been to Browns, but I certainly recommend to all those I know going to a show to stop at Browns for dinner first.. Ps you normally always have to book as the place is packed!
With faux grand café/bistro style food that some school canteens would, and should be ashamed of; a staff whose supercilious manner suggests that they are more intent of proving themselves superior to their 'guests/clients' than providing an accommodating service, and, an atmosphere edgy as heightened hope and expectation collide head-on with imperial truths, even any so called "offers" at Browns make for exceedingly poor value. The worst aspect of this place is, as it is often thronged with those up for a West End show, what an awful impression tourists must leave London with. Such a pity as there is so much in our culinary capital to dine on deliciously and cheaper less than a stone through away!

Songs filled Riverside Church in Morningside Heights Sunday morning as singers kicked-off a day of word and celebration celebrating the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The renowned church dedicated its morning service in memory of the late Civil Rights leader and was the first event in a daylong celebration.
Dr. King preached from The Riverside Church's pulpit on many occasions, including his historic "Beyond Vietnam" speech denouncing the Vietnam War on April 4, 1967. The speech was given exactly one year before he was assassinated.

A friend of mine in Washington D.C. sent me a link to this story from the Washington City Paper. An anonymous person compiled a handbook with photos and personal details about the dining critics in D.C. and distributed it to restaurants all over the city. It's smart and well done. Talk about uniting the restaurant community! This handy guide covers "writers' personalities, likes, dislikes, and even rating their food knowledge and writing ability. It also suggests what kind of server should wait on them." Here's a sneak peek at Tom Sietsema's profile:
Tom Sietsema is probably the most notable food critic in DC. He is the ultimate consumer advocate and has an adroit writing style that can be very critical and often ventures into the territory of cruel. He tends to be fair, but can be emphatic when on either extreme of the rating scale. He tends to get wrapped up in his conversations with dining companions and is very nice but gives little away about his feelings on the dining experience so it's important not to try to read too much into his body language.
Position: Food Critic for the Washington Post
Writing level: Advanced
Food & Beverage Knowledge: Advanced
Likes: Manhattans, sweetbreads, tablecloths, bread service, nice wait staff
Dislikes: Loud dining rooms, sweet cocktails, over-pouring wine, overbearing staff
Seat With: Most professional, experienced server with engaging but hands off style
Somebody in Dallas should follow this lead.

Life is crazy. Some times, I find that I'm constantly on the go, while other times I have absolutely nothing on my plate and can't seem to get the energy to do anything else but sit around and try to relax. Since June, I've been swamped with more of the former than the later, and I haven't had much time to really sit down and decide what I would like to do with my life, and my blog for that matter. I have a hard time deciding on whether to develop my blog into a full-time gig or to devote less and less time to it until it unknowingly disappears. I'm terrible at writing my thoughts and communicating them effectively, but in the end, I always seem to want to come back here to relay my thoughts, feelings, and emotions. I've missed having that sort of outlet, but sometimes I worry about how I come off to other people. Sometimes I'm goofy, other times, not so much. I can be offensive and brutal, but sometimes more reserved and come off as fake. I worry about all these things. Needing approval and support is something that I've always desired out of life, but communicating that through a blog is hard for me. These thoughts have provoked me to think about many options of where this all could go. Things that people like aren't always my cup of tea... so I try, and I try to continue to plow through it. However, I think I'm beginning to develop and feel my own way.
Thus, some changes will probably be happening around here. My focus is a bit different than when I originally started this blog; I've grown and matured, and need to take some steps to reflect that in my writing and my own style. Being more organized and focused on what is happening not only in my life, but in my style and need to express myself.
Now be warned: changes are headed to Living on the Chic. And I'm pretty ecstatic about them.

Road Trippin' Along the Oregon Coast
In the craziness that has been my life the last few weeks, I managed to get my mom out on a road trip. We started out along the Oregon Coast, with these amazing views.
Thanks to PopSugar, we had some great supplies to make the trip that much better.
For the beach, the Turkish towel was amazing. It folded up nice and small so it was easier to carry, and dried quickly!
Although it was a little windy, this beach stop along the Oregon Coast in Florence was amazing.
The Lemon hand wipes were another favorite, as we would thrift shop, picnic, and even better, when we got covered in sand. My mom absolutely loved how the aloe left her hands nice and soft, and I enjoyed how clean the lemon made my hands. I'm always a fan of lemon, and to have it in wipe form, it's amazing. There were a bunch of other goodies in the box, but you'll have to check them out for yourself! Visit the PopSugar Must-Have blog to see what has been in previous boxes.
If you're interested in getting your own PopSugar Must-Have box, you can get $10 a three-month subscription with the code: JUNESELECT10, but it ends soon!
We've had so many adventures, I cannot wait to share more stories. Check back in for more picture of the Redwoods, Crater Lake, and more stops on our trip.
POPSUGAR provided me with a complimentary POPSUGAR Must Have box. The opinions I have shared about the box are my own and POPSUGAR did not tell me what to say or how to say it.

Adventures with Nature Box
I'm so excited to share a whole slew of news with you guys. I know it's been a while since I've posted anything here, but guess what? My Master's Project is in it's final stages! WOHOOO! Writing is done (70 pages worth) and I am just working on the graphic layout and revisions.
What. A. Relief.
It feels SO GOOD to almost be done.
On a second note, I've been asked to join PopSugar as a Select Home Blogger. This means that I'll be bringing you tons of new ideas, products, and so much more. I'm very excited for this. Super excited for this. You can't freakin' get me out of my happy dance!
With them, I've already had a great opportunity to review a great product called Nature Box.
Nature Box is a monthly service that sends out a box of delicious, naturally based goodies. They are healthy, but better, they TASTE SO GOOD.
You can choose from a box of 5, 10, or 20 snacks each month, and you have the choice to choose them for yourself (um, bonus for picky eaters!) or be surprised with their newest snacks.
Here's what came in my box...
I'd show you all of them, but I don't want to ruin your surprise, should you get one of your own!
There's some amazing dried fruit...
And my favorite, which I added to my breakfast every morning for a week straight, was the blueberry almond bites. I crunched them up on top of my yogurt... like a boss.
And then, also ate them whole as a delicious snack the rest of the time. Believe me, they were amazingly awesome. Who knew rice cakes could taste so good?!
Overall, my experience with Nature Box was great. The package arrived on time, and the products were... AMAZING. They lasted a week in my house. Yep, I could definitely get used to having their snacks in my house. Even better is that they are all about natural, whole foods, and about passing on the wealth. I really love that Nature Box works with Feeding America to supply food to those who need it. They get an A+ in my book.
If you're interested in trying these goodies, I've got great news.
For a short time, the POPSUGAR Must Have Snacks by NatureBox will be 50% off!
Use this link to get the promotional price:
"POPSUGAR and NatureBox provided me with a complimentary POPSUGAR Must Have Snacks by NatureBox box. The opinions I have shared about the box are my own, and POPSUGAR and NatureBox did not tell me what to say or how to say it."

Im late to the party here, but altho this may seem like insight, it wasn't long before players hated how Torts wouldn't leave them alone with his commentary about how they played!
@jmacwilliPerfect point!!! Bring them on. This team isn't contending for a Cup with Vinneuakt or Ruff or Aikins so why not have Mess run the PP & TGO coach!!! Who cares what the results will be; our boys aren't challenging for the Cup anytime soon!! Sorry Hank!!!
Oh great; will Gary Bettman be there and NBC Sports network take this game away from MSG so they can all go gaga over Cindy? Hope our boys are ready for a lot of PK Thursday night!!!!
They got the first goal against Ottawa but that didn't do them any good!!!

Sammy Rabbit to teach kids about saving money

66th Air Base Group Public Affairs
8/10/2011 -
HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass.
-- Author Sam Renick, and his "Sammy Rabbit" children's book character, will be coming to Hanscom Aug. 19 to teach children about the importance of saving money.
Thanks to a recently approved Integrated Delivery Systems (IDS) funding request, Sammy will be performing three free shows. The shows will include singing, dancing, free giveaways and question and answer sessions with Mr. Renick and Sammy Rabbit.
In 1998, Mr. Renick created the Sammy Rabbit character and published the "It's a Habit, Sammy Rabbit!" children's book, which teaches kids how to be financially smart. Since then, Mr. Renick and Sammy Rabbit have made over 500 appearances in front of 250,000 students in 30 states and six countries.
"These shows are a fun and interactive way for kids to learn about saving money," said Dan Mazzuca, Air Force Aid Society officer and Community Readiness consultant at the Airman and Family Readiness Center. "One of the weaknesses in financial literacy is that most educators don't target young children. Sammy does that, and he makes saving fun."
The first show, geared towards children ages 3 to 5, will be held from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. The second, for children over age 5, will be from 1 to 2 p.m. Both of these will take place at the Youth Center in the gym.
The third show, starting at 5 p.m., will be open to the entire Hanscom community and will be the only show with a picture and autograph session included. It will take place at the Minuteman Commons, formerly the Minuteman Club.
For more information on Sammy Rabbit and the upcoming shows, contact the Airman and Family Readiness Center at 781-377-4222.

The 5 Dumbest Things on Wall Street: July 8
4. St. Joe Melts
It's summertime in Florida and the battle over St. Joe (JOE) is once again heating up. St. Joe's bullish chairman Bruce Berkowitz is telling investors not to sweat an inquiry by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Meanwhile, his hedge fund manager nemesis David Einhorn is playing it cool while shorting the stock.
As for us, we think this war over Northern Florida's largest landowner has officially boiled over into foolishness. And as everybody knows, that's our territory.
Berkowitz, the formerly market-beating manager of the Fairholme Fund (FAIRX) who bullied his way onto St. Joe's board in March, told Bloomberg there is "not a lot new" in last week's announcement of a formal investigation into the company's business practices.Berkowitz said he made the call to disclose the probe which "covers a variety of matters", including internal controls and financial reports, so that he would not be hindered in resuming a stock-purchase program. Lucky for him. He can now buy the stock a whole lot cheaper. Shares of the company sank more than 9% on Tuesday, the first day of trading after news of the investigation was released. It was also lucky for Greenlight Capital's Einhorn. Einhorn, who famously called Lehman's demise, e-mailed Bloomberg that he "would love to see [St.] Joe use its limited cash resources by overpaying to repurchase its stock." Einhorn will profit handsomely from deterioration in St. Joe, which he says grossly overvalues the land on its books. Berkowitz, on the other hand, maintains the land is fairly valued. So, which big-hitting money manager are we to believe? Well, Berkowitz was not fibbing when he said the government's review of St. Joe's business practices was nothing new. Back in January, the company told investors that the SEC was informally reviewing its real estate impairment practices. That means that regulators have been peeking into the company's books for a while now. That said, just because Berkowitz is not lying does not mean he is telling the whole truth. Why all of a sudden did the investigation get upgraded, meriting a market disclosure? Are the government watchdogs now asking tougher questions? Or is Berkowitz finally wilting not just from Einhorn's glare, but extra heat from the Feds?
