Re: September [censored] thread
Before they were sold to Google, they actually did have adsense up at the corner. I seriously doubt they made any appreciable money off that though.
But yeah, they had several rounds of financing from VCs so was just burning that before the big cash out. It was the same with photobucket. Free image hosting site got bought for $300mil. |

Seaway Valley Capital Corporation (SWVC.OB) could possibly be the most fun stock I've ever day traded. Over the past week there have been multiple 50-100% swings in a day!

Re: September [censored] thread
I enjoyed the comments about professors only believing in efficient markets. I am glad my professor for investment theory also is a hedge fund manager.... I think academia has many positive contributions to the world of investing, but sometimes assumptions can't be broadly stamped on all market activities. While the ideas of academia hold true frequently, there are many exceptions to the rules, such as fat tails.
I think Warren Buffett's concepts demonstrate a good balance between academia and reality. Buffett frequently criticizes ideas such as volatility being a measure of risk. However, Buffet advocates very low turnover and index fund investing for average investors. |

Trails dont lead to theories. People can have crazy theories about whatever they want. Serious gov't officials used to believe the world price of gold, etc was controlled by 10 Swissies in Zurich with help from the Russkies. Just as dumb as any other theory.

Trails dont lead to theories. [/ QUOTE ] Bad use of language on my part perhaps. Call it linkages. Many opponents of the Fed during the debate over its creation were suspicious of the nation's monetary policy being controlled by private bankers. G. Edward Griffin, author of 'The Creature From Jekyll Island', which has been mentioned in posts here, runs some conspiracy theory websites. Edward House, a close confidant of Woodrow Wilson, was a founder of the CFR. Wall Street, Banks, and American Foreign Policy was written by Murray Rothbard. While 'trail' might have been a poorly chosen word, I don't believe it was a dumb question to ask considering opposition to the Fed is closely tied to 'globalist' conspiracy theories (theorists). |

The most recent news is that another split is coming. I'm in it for the long haul and have no intentions to sell. [/ QUOTE ] Did RIO split yesterday? I bought it on Tuesday, Scottrade says I own the same amount of shares at half the value but show no decline on the charts, looks like a split but I can't find it anywhere in the news? |
