Go there and search Humphreville. An ex investment banker, Jack has pointed out the abuses of the DWP unions, the LA Pension plan and other entities. The unions control this town and it sure seems government is subservient. Over and over again in many ways. The unions are overpaid. They tried to control all the solar panel installation. Jack was Read More...]]> http://neverhesitate.net/opinion-on-joel-kotkin-how-los-angeles-lost-its-mojo/feed/ 0 http://neverhesitate.net/analysis-on-june-e.-oneill-washingtons-equal-pay-obsession/ http://neverhesitate.net/analysis-on-june-e.-oneill-washingtons-equal-pay-obsession/#comments Thu, 15 Mar 2012 20:33:10 +0000 admin http://neverhesitate.net/analysis-on-june-e.-oneill-washingtons-equal-pay-obsession/ I wonder how much my employer would invest in me if I told them that at any time in the next 10 years I am apt to take a 6 week leave of absence then come back to my work slightly distracted and somewhat career should i choose less productive than before. Not that it is intentional and I will fulfill the job requirements of my current position, but I will be very reluctant to put in extra Read More...]]> http://neverhesitate.net/analysis-on-june-e.-oneill-washingtons-equal-pay-obsession/feed/ 0 http://neverhesitate.net/my-take-on-pools-urged-to-close-to-avoid-grisly-mishaps/ http://neverhesitate.net/my-take-on-pools-urged-to-close-to-avoid-grisly-mishaps/#comments Thu, 15 Mar 2012 20:32:50 +0000 admin http://neverhesitate.net/my-take-on-pools-urged-to-close-to-avoid-grisly-mishaps/ Mark, I'll have to spell out the gruesome details. The child tax benefit's internal organs are often sucked out through the anus. I think I understand these cost-benefit decisions pretty well. I've read economic studies. I've taken risks. If I get into a cab, and it doesn't have seat belts, I'll usually take it anyway. Swimming itself is one of the riskier activities people undertake. It's Read More...]]> http://neverhesitate.net/my-take-on-pools-urged-to-close-to-avoid-grisly-mishaps/feed/ 0 http://neverhesitate.net/opinion-on-buy-sell-fret-average-investors-swing-into-action/ http://neverhesitate.net/opinion-on-buy-sell-fret-average-investors-swing-into-action/#comments Thu, 15 Mar 2012 20:31:26 +0000 admin http://neverhesitate.net/opinion-on-buy-sell-fret-average-investors-swing-into-action/ I bought a bunch of shorts last year and took a drubbing by January. I decided that the market was too fixed to buy and hold, short or long and began reading the night before and buying or selling either at the opening a franchise or shortly after. If it were not for the huge gaps up and down at the opening this strategy would be considerably easier to execute properly. However, I have recovered Read More...]]> http://neverhesitate.net/opinion-on-buy-sell-fret-average-investors-swing-into-action/feed/ 0 http://neverhesitate.net/opinion-on-jenkins-obamas-jobs-speechan-early-draft/ http://neverhesitate.net/opinion-on-jenkins-obamas-jobs-speechan-early-draft/#comments Thu, 15 Mar 2012 20:26:29 +0000 admin http://neverhesitate.net/opinion-on-jenkins-obamas-jobs-speechan-early-draft/ The biggest embask for a promotionrrassment ever to befall on American capitalism was TARP. The reaction of many was to turn around and say OK, but where's mine? Thus began the big wealth redistribution conversation we are now mired in. Take from the winners and pay the losers, or more kindly, disadvantaged. I don't think the American system was designed to operate this way. We need many Read More...]]> http://neverhesitate.net/opinion-on-jenkins-obamas-jobs-speechan-early-draft/feed/ 0 http://neverhesitate.net/some-thoughts-on-the-health-benefits-of-staying-loyal/ http://neverhesitate.net/some-thoughts-on-the-health-benefits-of-staying-loyal/#comments Thu, 15 Mar 2012 19:45:19 +0000 admin http://neverhesitate.net/some-thoughts-on-the-health-benefits-of-staying-loyal/ So we get Ozzie and Harriet over Lucy and Desi? Hmmmm..... What if you find employee loyalty in your 3rd marriage... do 1/3 of benefits accrue? Nope, it's not that linear. How about loyalty in stocks? How's that buying and holding workin for ya? Used to work pretty well, not so much these days. More seriously, this does shed some light on the angst, ennui, and anomie in 21st Century US.

He didn't do all that well as CEO of SAP and now he seems like a rookie at HP although he's been on the job a year. As other commenters say, you don't announce spinning off or selling a substantial part of the business without a plan in-hand. Also as others have said you don't talk the unit for sale DOWN, you talk it UP!

These parents pay 30k/year per child for a high school education and their children still need help on an SAT? What were you buying in those 4 years? Prestige? Cocktail party fodder? Me too status?

People should be able to peacefully exchange in a common even though there is considerable cultural contrast. The reality is this is not the case. And the more contrast between cultures, the more potential for conflict. I, and I suspect many others, tire types of conflict the back and forth between Jews Read More...]]> http://neverhesitate.net/my-take-on-israeli-soldiers-board-aid-ship/feed/ 0
