Radiohead results

The results are in:  Radiohead did . . . ok.  Before I share the specifics, let me remind you of what one seemingly prescient prognosticator said a few weeks ago: My prediction: They will receive an average price of $2 and a median price of $0.   So what happened?

Five Affiliated Computer Services Directors Resign

The New York Times reports that five independent ACS directors have resigned, after the CEO seems to have demanded their resignations.  The resignations appear to hinge on the directors’ objections to the manner in which ACS Founder and Chairman Darwin Deason wanted to buy out ACS.  (The NYT article indicates Deason was trying to favor himself ...

I'm a one issue voter

Ok, that’s not really true.  In actuality, I don’t generally vote.  But if I did vote, I think the time is right to be a one issue voter on the issue of antitrust policy.  Seems like everyone has a view on the topic these days.  And on that one issue alone, Hilary Clinton resoundingly and conclusively ...
