Great read Rogier. Interesting tidbit, Icahn's investment fund lost 5.3% in the third quarter. Icahn is Herbalife's biggest shareholder. Interested to see the share price if/when Icahn starts to pull out.
Well if by preventing a crime you mean catching those that are plotting a crime, those individuals are already guilty of conspiracy; and therefore, have already committed a crime.
Halo was hugely successful while only being available for XBOX. If the Destiny series can capture even half of that success it has the potential to generate more money than the Halo series because it is also being offered to PlayStation gamers. In theory, there should be a greater number of copies sold due to this.
At what point are the rights of citizens infringed upon? Giving the government access to private conversations is a slippery slope. Yes I feel the government should intervene when crimes are being committed, but what guarantee is there that this does not overlap into law-abiding citizens having their privacy taken away as well?
Appreciate the tip Manny. Had not previously heard of Medallion Financial, but love it after taking a look at it. Seems that it offers great growth potential on top of the tremendous yield.
The hope is that with technological advancement, the cost of producing energy efficient vehicles will fall; thus allowing other companies to enter the market, and subsequently, offer lower priced alternatives to Tesla. Perhaps competition in the space will also cause Tesla to lower their prices. Not in the near future, but eventually I do see those vehicles becoming the norm; and people will eventually need to sell their car and slowly begin transitioning to energy efficient vehicles.
Studies have shown that there isn't a statistically significant relationship between bullion and CPI? As per your article, "Why? Because there’s a long-term relationship between the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and gold."
Perhaps not strong enough to be statistically significant, but there is certainly a relationship. Although unpredictable in the short run, gold certainly can provide a hedge against inflation in the long run.
Oil is a finite resource, so inevitably it will be gone. What then will happen to the countries counting on the revenue derived from oil? The majority of US oil consumption was in the form of fuel for our automobiles and airplanes. Ultimately there will need to be an oil-less solution for that (hybrid, electric, etc.) and what happens to oil then? These solutions are also more environmental friendly. Instead of looking for an environmentally clean oil company to invest in, why not find an environmental company to invest in? (i.e. a company that is developing cleaner alternatives to oil) Seems to be more forward thinking in my eyes.
