Penguins for sale-Facebook



The Facebook IPO was introduced recently at $38 a Share. The price is expected to double the first few days. The 500 million shares were sold  but most can't be re sold before 3 months.

As the shares started selling, a realization that the prices are not getting off the ground. So the under writers tried to hold the prices at the $38 level.... reduce the available shares, the computers were down for few hours.
As a result, those who ordered  thousands of shares, to sell in few minutes later, couldn't find out if they are long or short and what profit or loss they accrued.
Now many are suing to recope the losses and many will get money back.

What a clean honest operation that lead to someone making windfall on the back of those who thought the system is fair.

The fair value today of FB , according to me, is $15/share.. so go figure.

Please note free market rely on Demand and Supply. Some may be able to influence the balance at least for a short period of time, enough for you to loose your Penguin.

Success..

To laugh often and much;

to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;

to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends.

To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others;
to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;
To know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.”

― Ralph Waldo Emerson

Who Done this murder?

NC. v Jason Young

A two year old called 911 "mam has a boo boo". The police arrived. A bloody seen with a pregnant woman is dead.  The child was found at home, cleaned from all the blood.

Who is that hart less person to kill a young woman, but soft hearted to clean the child before leaving the seen. Dilemma Dilemma. There is hair in the hands of the murdered lady and foot prints of a shoe size 10.


The woman told her sister earlier that her husband asked her to abort her first child but she refused. That is the 2 year old child at the time.

She told a Psychology Nurse that she had bad sexual experience before during which she was forced. Her experience with her husband was basically close to being forced every time they had sexual relation.

Her mother said that the husband while driving the car with his wife in the car, drove off the road and fell in the water. Few days later, the wife lost her pregnancy. Second pregnancy, and now she was pregnant again.

Oh, one more thing, the husband was in a business trip 3 hours away from the seen of the crime. He stayed in the Hotel and their are videos showing he was there.

He was prosecuted for the crime once, and now it is his second trial. He wear size 12, the hair found in the seen does not match his.

The police check his car, his hotel room, took pictures of his naked body with no evidence what soever.

The husband was cheating on his wife while in his business trips.

So who Done it???

The pic is not related.

Dance...

Someone once  said: 

What  goes around comes  around.... So

Work  like  you  don't need the money.

Love   like  you've never been  hurt.

Dance  like   nobody's watching.

Sing like   nobody's  listening..

Live  like it's Heaven  on   Earth.


and hope,  it   works...

May  there always  be work for your hands  to  do;

May your purse always hold  a coin  or  two;

May the  sun always shine on  your   windowpane;

May a rainbow be  certain  to  follow each  rain;

May the hand of  a   friend always be near you;

May God  fill  your  heart with gladness to cheer  you.

and  may  you be in  heaven a half hour before the devil   knows you're  dead.

Now...... a  wish!!  hope you made  yours!

Greece, watch out

The EU economic crisis 2011

The EU has so many problems. With the Economic collapse of the 2008, the various economies are trying to get a strong economic growth. This has been very elusive.

The WTO opened the whole world widely for all countries with good plans to build there own economies. China, India and the BRIC countries are doing well.  This is combined with social media which helped the fast moving information in all aspects.

All Countries that didn't participate in the Housing systems are doing great, Canada.

The United States economy started to pick up speed. From monthly loss of 800, 000 Jobs into 100,000 Jobs plus per month. 800 Billion Dollars TARP, 50 Billion Dollars assistance to the auto industry, bankruptcy and recovery, and 2 consecutive Federal Reserve Quantitative easing helped the economy so much. The unemployment went down from 10.6% to 8.5%.

Many of the countries in the EU will stand together to support the existence of the EU. Although many countries have been downgraded one notch, it may not have that much impact.

Greece will drop out of the EU for a while, yet will be supported by the EU, China, and USA. After all the economies are connected.

Justice for Cailee

Justice for Caylee

Casey Anthony faced the death Penalty for murdering her child. She never indicated who is the father, yet tried to convince another guy that he is.

Many people have been on the witness stand. The mother, the father, brother, friends of Casey etc. The most important was the utility person who found the body.

The court couldn't get a straight story from any one witness in this case. Everybody gave a story that makes him look good. Self centered Mother, boyfriend of the accusers .....A father who was a police officer before, had many pets who died, what appears to be prematurely.

Even those who came to witness the process couldn't set quietly. A young woman shouted "she killed her baby". Another young man made a rude gesture to the prosecutor. The trial stopped. The man, had no job, ended up in jail for 6 days and a fine.

The defense managed to bring up the lack of evidence, and fake stories of the various witnesses. So she is acquitted but the saga continues. She will bring her own problems sooner or later.

The successful defense team of Baez and Mason are the real stars of this dilemma. While every body is mad at them for doing a good job, they went to celebrate an unusual success. Here is Mason who worked for free in this case, repeating what the young man gestured earlier. That perhaps was the tipping point...

The Wages of Hate-Ben Laden

The Wages of  Sin....

On September 11, 2001 a group of Ben Laden's followers attacked the World Trade Center. Many people died.

In response, USA sent few well trained soldiers to Afghanistan to support the anti Taliban forces with air-power. Soon, the Taliban forces collapsed and everybody who is still alive fled. Thousands died as a result.

The Predator spots the target from far away.  The militant hears the thunder noise of an approaching rockets but had no time to run. It leaves death, destruction and a void in the ground where a house once stood. 

Ben Ladin fled from one location to another, all through the difficult terrain, to avoid being captured. In the process, he managed to stay away from his family, friend and followers, imprisoning himself for years.

 

In 2011, "Then there were thundering sound, ..... heavy firing ... more thundering, then a big blast". That was it. The prisoner was killed joining many of his followers.

Forever...!

"Sharon Bialek accusing Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain of sexual harassment in November 7, 2011.



In Erie, Pennsylvania, a Pizza delivery man robbed a bank with a live bomb attached to his neck. The police arrested the robber,  ......

Herman Cain, a former Pizza chain executive, is another "Pizza man", a rising star in the Republican hopefuls for the presidency of the United States of America. He introduced the 999 tax plan which was very attractive for a while.

Soon enough few women came out of nowhere accusing him of unwanted sexual harassment. We all want to know what did he do to the accusers, a juicy story.

Then Ginger White came out to indicate that she had a relationship with him, on and off, for over 10 years. [This wasn't a one night thing repeated monthly.] So here ya go. He is no longer running.

What is it with men who always need recognition by another woman?
And what gets us uncomfortable with any mention of a such a story or a relationship?

The hopes of the presidency evaporated, and the hopes of thousands who looked up to him did the same. Yet the good time, and memories will last forever!!!!!

Just a thought.

The Iowa Fight

Iowa, Iowa, Iowa

Today the Iowa republicans made their voice heard, Loud and Clear.

Many of the presidential hopefuls didn't do well in the first and small Republican election. Others did terrible.
From listening to some of the speeches, there were one theme clear, "I can beat Obama".
Huntsman, Buchman, Perry, Newt were all down and seem out.
Ron Paul wants to Eliminate the Federal Reserve, fold back and withdraw the American forces from all over the world, and many other suggestions that is not popular, so he is out.

Santorum was the surprise, did very well against all, but many expect him not to be the nominee.

While Romney appears to be the front runner he has problem. First he didn't do much better this year than 4 years ago. Second he worked for a financial Institution which restructured many companies with thousands of jobs lost. Third he created health care, Obama care, coverage in Massachusetts. Last he is not supported by many of the republican base.

I am still waiting for a Plan other than eliminate Obama care, Medicare and Medicaid.

Japan's Earthquake-... 2011



Japan's Earthquake-Tsunami-Nuclear Plant

Earlier in the Year 2011, Japan was hit with an earthquake of 8.9 degree on the scale.

As difficult as this was, the earth-shaking quake resulted in killer 30 Feet high Tsunami. That followed by the after shocks earthquakes that reached 6 magnitude.

If that was not bad enough, the Earthquake, and the Tsunami had impacted the Nuclear Reactors in the region  causing serious damages and leaks of some radiation. 

This is the first time in history the three disastress followed each other in a quick successions.

Yet in less than a year, it appears that the will power of the people of Japan overcomed this great tragedy and moves on to repair their lives.

People and government around the globe, provided their financial assistance and expertise, to help the people of Japan and support the families that lost loved one.

That is what humanities should be focused upon. In helping each we helping ourselves and our children,

So let us learn the liston. Mother Nature can be too strong, too tough, and too serious. When we all stand together, we all will be standing together for a better future for all.
