No, that's not what my argument is. First of all, we're not arguing about whether or not buying IBM is a good investment. You had claimed that IBM was a "slowly dying dinosaur" and a shadow of its former self. I responded that IBM is more profitable than it has ever been and has been...
So you're arguing IBM has managed to artificially boost their income every single year for the past decade solely by cutting employees? And further, that the fact that income has been artificially boosted and will eventually come crashing down has gone unnoticed by millions of investors...
Is everyone else in this thread looking at the same IBM I am looking at? IBM's net income in 2012 was $16.6 billion. Net income has increased every year since 2003. Efficiency way up, op margin has gone from 37.7% in 2003 to 49.1% in 2012.
Last year Intel made $11 billion, down from the...
It's an interesting thing to think about, and you're actually correct in your points, but unfortunately you're not considering magnitude.
First, yes, it is very reasonable to conclude that lowering the minimum wage or eliminating it would result in more employment. However, eliminating a...
It's not even a matter of whether or not the government, when given a task, accomplishes it more effectively (as in, using less resources to complete the task, taking less time).
Government cannot exist without taxation. Taxing *any* good results in a less efficient outcome than with no...
I remember a website existing with a database of basically all CPUs from AMD/Intel from the 90s to modern day detailing die size/transistor count/all kinds of information about the architecture. I can't seem to find anything via Google search and I forget the name of the site....does anyone here...
I have Windows 7 installed right now, I upgraded from Vista when 7 came out. I'm going to do a reformat in a few days and I'm wondering if Windows 7 upgrade edition still allows you to do the trick that Vista upgrade edition allowed, where you do a clean install of the upgrade edition and then...
Investing in companies that are undervalued is exactly the point of investment. If you don't purchase a company based on it being undervalued, then what do you purchase it on?
I agree about 2004, but would Kerry have done anything differently? The Democrats haven't shown (now that they have been given control) that they will do anything different in terms of foreign policy than Bush did. Obama has done little/nothing to end the war in Iraq that wasn't already being...
Very few people liked GWB as far as I know, they just liked the alternative even less.
Just like with McCain or whoever runs Republican in 2012. I can almost guarantee I won't agree with them on a large number of issues, but it's better than Obama.
People in this democracy will not vote...
The bottom line is it is the federal gov's job to step in (as it did in the 50s/60s) when the rights of citizens are being jeapordized illegally by the state governments. State governments have no right to restrict marriage to one group of people and exclude another group of people from the...
