Google, Apple And Facebook Guilty Of Abetting Criminals?
10 years ago

I feel that if tech companies have information that could save lives, they should be obligated to divulge it. However, the government should not be all-seeing and citizens have a right to their own privacy. I feel that Apple and Google are doing a good thing with default encryption. At that point, tech companies would not possess information that would save lives, thus ending the dilemma. It is up to government agencies to save lives and protect their citizens, not tech companies.

Tobacco Plants Might Finally Start Giving Back To Your Health

It seems as if CollPlant has tremendous growth potential, especially if their trials are successful. The market has not been reacting to this positive news, with the stock price being hammered down recently. Will have to do more research, but this could be a good investment opportunity if these reports are true.

Keeping More Of Your ETF Capital Gains And Income
10 years ago

If people are irresponsible and fail to plan for retirement, is it up to the government to bail them out? If a hand is always extended whenever people neglect retirement planning, people will continually make the mistake over and over again. It's not up to the government, or other citizens, to carry the weight of those less responsible. Make it simple, save for retirement or bear the consequences of your actions.

Empathy Deficit Disorder

Young's comments, to me, are baseless. I doubt there is any merit to it, but I would nonetheless be curious to know suicide rates broken down by income bracket to see if any correlation exists. If Young is right, which I don't believe he is, then you would see higher suicide rates in trust fund babies who never had to work a day in their life. I highly doubt that those that live easy lives free of struggle are more apt to commit suicide.

Waiting To Buy
10 years ago

Liked the article David. When I see something I feel has long term potential, I tend to just buy it immediately. However, that is because most of my plays are very speculative and highly volatile. As a result, I don't want to miss a huge run worrying about pennies, when I see the potential increase to be multiple dollars.

Where The World's Millionaires Reside

Wow! That's a pretty large gap between nations. Very interesting to see, I would not have guessed that. Is that a sign of America's increasing dominance?

Dollar’s Ride Is About To End

If people are looking to protect themselves from inflation by selling fiat, there are alternatives to gold. Bitcoin is immune to M0/MB inflation due to its fixed supply. Although certainly less stable than gold, and even fiat for that matter, the upside is exponentially greater. I would not recommend converting all money and assets, but a small percentage of discretionary investment income could certainly be viewed as a calculated risk.

The Ebola Outbreak: A Black Swan
10 years ago

I disagree with how the American government is handling the situation. We need to close down the borders. The only thing we know for certain about the virus is that we do not know as much as we thought we did. Yes there are airport screenings, but what if those being screened are during the incubation period for the virus? They could be seemingly okay and allowed to pass through. Amber Vinson being transported on a commercial flight? That's unacceptable. More precaution needs to be taken when dealing with something with catastrophic consequences.

Extended Warranties: Some Are Worth It, Most Are Worthless
10 years ago

I bought a warranty on my BMW but did not on my Ford. Actually, sold the BMW once the warranty expired because the cost of repairs (which were needed suspiciously often) were just outrageous. Definitely agree with the article!
