    When you treat adults like this they will not like or respect you and will want you to fail. Any time this boss makes a mistake his employees will make him pay. "Oh yeah we can't w…

    On day 1 it was a success, but now it is a disaster for several reasons. 1. It is harder to attract people to come work for you when you company's valuation is going down. Obviousl…

    "Historically" home prices went up in the US until 2006 for well over 30 years. It is interesting that you bring up cherry picking because that is exactly how mutual fund companies…
