      Is Starbucks a Bargain? It Almost Goes Without Saying
      I must agree with the many who believe SBUX is still pricey. I too see $5-6 as a more realistic price. They should have LOWERED prices instead of raising them and totally re-do the dessert selections. Quality should count there also. Many of the stores are not clean or comfortable and I feel as though only a fool stands in line 15minutes to order a $4-5.00 coffee then waites another 5minutes for the Barista to make it. Then they must drink it in there car from lack of seating. I used to love starbucks, very nice staff met very nice people in comfortable surrounding. That changed drastically in most locations as they canabalized themselvs..pure shortsighted greed..they destroyed the cache..regards to all

      Stephen Roach: It’s game over for the American consumer. The good news? Runaway consumption may give way to a renewal of saving and investment. "That’s the best hope for economic recovery and for America’s longer-term economic prosperity."

      Thoughts on Giving Thanks: A Trader's Perspective
      Brett you are 100% correct. It took me years to realize I was never going to be the smartest guy in the room on stock trades, I very very seldom buy at the bottom and never get the last penny of profit.After the realization that as a small trader, I was just tagging along with the big guys, I started trading much better. And became much more content. Thanks for a thoughtful article

      It's 'pretty clear' a proposal to lend automakers $25B from the Treasury's $700B fund will fail, Republican Sen. Jon Kyl says. He accuses Democrats of trying to score points by pushing the bill now when it has no chance of passage. (previously)
      Pelosi is an idiot who can't help inept self promotion. The dog and pony show in D.C with the auto CEO was a perfect example.This 25Bill would be a payoff to the unions for the 100mill the donated and for the votes, If Bush allows this to pass he will seal his fate as the biggest dummy in the world. The Dems will tack the 25billion onto his tab and when it fails,as it will, to ressurect the ex big three he will be blamed.Let Toyota ad Honda pick up whats left after GM and Ford go through bankruptsy, then merge. New management is needed to streamline cut waste and delete 60-75% or redundant brands and models. Current CEO of all american auto are incapable. As for Chrysler noboby in there right mind would buy one. Good styling bad engineeering and no resale value.

      The Right Kind of Bailout
      Tripe...is the union going to make the concessions necessary to build an affordable car and keep the overhead down whole the industry regroups and turns profitable...NO..Are the Democrates going to blame the added deficit on Bush even though Pelosi sponsors it..YES..If it fails will they say "we didn't get all the facts it's not our fault..YES..The union votes the Dems in let them sort it out.....in bankruptsy court

      GM (GM), Ford (F) and Chrysler, with a combined H1 loss of $28.6B, are angling for $50B in federal loans as they face the worst market conditions in 25 years. The loan would be split into $25B to be spent on healthcare and $25B of general liquidity.
      25billion for healthcare...very healthy for tax payers..who pays for mine?
