in Republican Stimulus Opposition Explained via Game Theory [Image] on dmiessler.com | grep understanding
I'm not sure I follow the logic: "If they support him and he succeeds, they fail."
If I support the president & he succeeds, don't I succeed also? That would be bi-partisanship. From what I have read, the Republicans were locked out of the negotiations for the stimulus bill. Lamely, they did the same thing to the Democrats on major legislation when they were in power. This is Washington politics, as usual. Could Republican opposition to the stimulus bill be based on their beliefs for solving the economic crisis? Would you vote for something if your ideas weren't even considered? The Democratic Congress doesn't care if the Republicans are on board. They can pass anything they like on a straight party vote. This is not bi-partisanship. Bi-partisanship involves the art of compromise. I believe that making fun of a political party, either party, because they won't do what the other party wants, is ridiculous. Why have two parties if they have to think the same way? I truly hope our new president can forge an atmosphere of cooperation & bi-partisanship in the future.

in Apple Investors Market Internals Tell the Brutal Truth on Investor in the Wilderness
Zach, I feel for you. Anyone who states an informed opinion these days is condemned to listen to these know-it-all Internet crazies hurl their lame insults. Monty, h, r, macfan & the like are so impressed with themselves they won't respect another opinion. They live in the realm of emotion & resort to name calling when they have no argument to fall back on. You're a class act. Keep up the good work. I enjoy your columns.

macfan Brosan, I respect your opinion. However, the reality is this guy is using this platform to manipulate the direction of a stock price. Hence the "Shock Headlines". Don't be fooled into thinking it is anything other than that.

in Wilderness Member’s Family is Apple to the Core on Investor in the Wilderness
I have 3 original iPhones & pay roughly $200 a month for the 1400 minute Family Plan. For me it's not worth the extra $30-50 per month for the new & faster features of the 3G. The original iPhone is still awesome, especially with the new version 2 software. I think Hawk offers a valuable perspective to help others make what will be an expensive choice. And for Zack, who I have the greatest respect for, I wouldn't characterize his article as a "rant," just a contrary point of view.
