      36 Opportunities for the Beginning of the Bull
      Possibly useful suggestions, but very pompous and self-centered commentary... including those comments above from sycophants.
      Does anyone follow the profit/loss history of these blog commentaries?
      I'd like to see the performance record of the above recommendations in about a year.

      Government Bailouts Stop with Lehman
      What a mess! It's clear that shareholders and creditors of these failing financial institutions are being punished as the stock/bond prices fall to zero, but what about the executives who are largely responsible for letting this happen? Are they appropriately losing their jobs/equity/financial parachutes? Also isn't this the clearest example of the failure of rubber stamp boards of directors?
      Hopefully some major studies are and will be done of the implications for reform in all of this so that we might not be "doomed to repeat history because we didn't learn from it" ? I think the free enterprise system has been seriously hurt by all of this government intervention.

      Overview of the Chinese Internet Market
      My naive view is that any investment in China is more than average risky because the totalitarian government can make any equity worthless because it doesn't suit their objectives. In this case, although I think there is great value, I will not invest in it because of the FALSE free market environment they try to project but interfere whenever they think it's OK. It might turn out to have been a good short term investment, but I don't think this kind of government manipulation is good for anyone in the intermediate/long run and that's my objective.

      Which Banks Will Survive?
      Mr. "Prescient" You are one of the many small minded adolescents who regularly vent their spleens on these boards without adding much useful information. Your smug, self assured comment about the government's willingness or not to back financials in the face of bank failures is not based on any better information than any of the other ignorant prognosticators. Why don't you take a second look at what you are writing before sending insulting messages about smugness that you are most guilty of?

      8 Ways to Profit if OPEC Dumps the Dollar
      The (apparently anonymous) writer of this blog loses all credibility in many ways, but the most ridiculous part of his ranting is in forecasting that it is possible that the price of crude oil will rise to $197.30! Not 10 cents higher or lower, but $197.30! What fools these mortals be.

      13 Ways to Transform YouTube into a Profitable Business
      OK! Wild conjecture for possible revenue producing procedure. How about setting up a contest that requires video submitters to:
      1) select a category for their submission from, say, 20 or so provided;
      2) pay a reasonable entry fee;
      3) be recompensed down to zero against their fee by a formula rewarding #hits on their video (protecting against multiple submissions from interested parties);
      4) be entered into a monthly "lottery" that pays off the top (three?) winners with nice little $ prizes in each category and recognition in a special web page that announces the winners.
      My guess is that egoism and desire for exposure from these amateur video producers will draw a big income from these submissions.
      This approach could be initiated as a separate contest category, while still accepting free entries into a secondary, subsidiary section that contains no prizes or special recognition.
      Best wishes

      Why Google Rules the Online Ad Market, and How That Could Change
      If the extent of your thinking is limited to information gathering, you probably were not going to add anything of real value to human understanding of anything important anyway. Those who make a meaningful difference, think way outside of that kind of box. The rest is all static and chatter.

      Time To Start Buying Some Dogs?
      I also noted the miscue in the early comments about timing of buys and sells. It might be tempting to excuse that kind of error because of the urgency of these daily posts... but it's not excusable! To be a creditable advisor one should give the impression of careful consideration of what is being evaluated and said. Poor proofreading is definitely not encouraging about overall judgement.

      Why Google Never Really Wanted the Yahoo Search Deal
      I don't think this author has a clue about what he has written. He makes completely contradictory statements that make no sense.

      Yahoo's Microsoft Bid Rejection Raises Larger Corporate Governance Questions
      Why should officers of the company even serve on the Board? Of course the CEO and relevant officers should be required to attend all Board meetings and be part of the discussions, but they should not be part of (or even present at important) voting occasions. And situations where the CEO is also Chairman of the Board (quite common) are rife with conflict of interest possibilities.

      Insider Trends in the Financial Sector
      I think Rahemtulla has confused "institutional buying" with insider buying. Although there has been heavy institutional buying for these financial stocks in recent weeks, that is NOT the same as insider buying.

      Although I agree that heavy insider buying is very bullish for a stock, I'd like to see Rahemtulla's reply to the above comments implying that there is no evidence for such buying.
