Maybe I read this too quickly, but the vast majority of people you'd want to lend this kind of money to are either (a) not going to want to borrow money at 20% interest, or (b) have access to far lower interest sources of funding, even in t

The main reason for this major change is that even in the presence of information-sharing provisions of treaties, Switzerland refused to provide any information on most account holders that were evading US (or other countries') taxes, on th

1) Qualified dividends are taxed at long-term capital gains rates. At the moment there is no differential. 2) There is no economic difference in retaining the earnings because although undistributed earnings defer shareholder-level tax, the

Except they process CC payments at no additional cost, have a more streamlined interface, and give you access to millions of potential buyers.

Cool site, interface, and idea, but their rate is surprisingly high for what they are offering.

a good option. can't really go wrong with a popular honda or toyota model- reliable and extremely easy to find a place for repairs.

blah blah blah. this is barely a step up from the meta-blogging about blogging about blogging that gets posted every day. although very good writers, I'm getting sort of sick of the general platitudes coupled with anecdotes that I read from

I'm not sure what the point of that blog post is, or if it even has any coherent thesis.

Thoroughly enjoyed this post, especially since I remember a lot of these events as they happened. I was peripherally involved in the startup also for a good amount of time, and absolutely agree with everything he's said. I would also add th

enjoyable. it's nice that we've gotten to the point where each of those possible uses is either so trivial that no one wants it (buying concert tickets from an ATM), or costs <$100 (GPS, on-demand Netflix box, webcams, etc).

I think there are two sides to what Warren Buffett is saying. One side is nonsense, I agree - that he can make a prediction like that based on early trends. The other side, however, which is what I think he actually meant, is that, in fact,
