The 21st century has been a slew of terrible management decisions for Sears - the bumbled Lands' End online tailoring experiment, the Kmart merger, etc.

No doubt, but Sears has some trusted names and that's all Eddie wanted.so he ran the company into the ground

I can't believe there's still some dead-enders peddling this stuff!

So....this JP Morgan guy's plan is to 1) cut taxes on the rich, 2) import more cheap labor, 3) cut entitlements, and 4) raise mortgage costs for home buyers.....And THIS is supposed to stimulate the economy? Where - in China?

1982 called. It wants its economic policy back. :D :rolleyes:

If you're under 25 read this. If you're over 25 you already know or it's too late.

Reinstate the Glass-Steagle provisions that separate commercial and investment banking. Break up the too big to fail Wall Street banks. Any bank that is too big to fail is too big to exist.

This is amazingly awesome!.


The world’s first 3D-printed car has arrived!

Arizona-based manufacturer Local Motors are the masterminds behind The Strati — a 49 part, battery powered automobile that can fit two people and only takes 44 hours to build, Barcroft Media reports.

The vehicle ... is made entirely of black plastic and reinforced carbon fibre. It was printed during the International Manufacturing Technology Show earlier this month in Chicago.

How much will 3D printing change the world??


Rather than order from a manufacturer and have a product shipped, you go to a local 3D printer and order online blueprints instead? not for everything surely, but for how many things?


and what does it do to inventory management? and for the refurbishing of old equipment for which replacement parts are not currently available yet could now become available again thanks to 3D printing?



I need to find if some of these companies are publicly traded. most of the time when I read an article like this and look up the company, it is privately held.

There's a documentary on netflix about some of the different 3D printing companies, it was pretty cool. Guessing this is like anything else though, if we are speculating on buying stock in these companies, someone already thought of it a long time ago.

That doesn't mean it's not still a good investment. Before an IPO is released, companies already have investors, secondary market buyers signed up with the issuing financial company, but that doesn't mean these stocks have reached their full potential.

Certainly is going to raise the ante on the "how are we going to dispose of all these plastic grocery store bags" question.

The SOP:

1. True Believer money in
2. Trade news stories
3. Institutional Parasite money in
4. Media flogging (driven by Institutional Parasite marketing)
5. Dumb money in / Institutional Parasite money out
6. Bubble bursts

We're in stage 4, rolling up on 5, fast.
