"Housing Issues Scarier Than High Oil Prices"

"For the big public companies, it makes all the sense in the world, because they need to be accountable, and I can't understand what people are trying to hide from when they don't want an outsider to be the chairperson," he said. "I like the idea of checks and balances. I think that 99 percent of all American companies are run properly, and don't have accounting irregularities, or anything like that. The idea, though, is to avoid being in the one percent that do."

Heard on The Street: Quantitative Questions from Wall Street Job Interviews

Don't laugh. Dr. Crack already sold 30,000 copies of this book. You might want to take a look or send this post to your buddies via email.

Good way to get an edge if you need it.
I used to wonder why interviewers at top firms supplied me with their interview questions to put in a book to sell to their job candidates.
Now I understand that they do not mind if the questions are public knowledge because job candidates
who make a serious investment of time in revising the questions deserve to be hired!
The latest edition also includes about 125 non-quant actual interview questions plus a section on interview technique
As of January 2008, roughly 30,000 copies have been sold with about 10,000 going to people at investment banks, trading firms, and money management firms.

As oil surpasses $135 for the first time you know who benefits – but who's the biggest loser?

As far as Jon Najarian is concerned, the U.S. casino business is in the biggest trouble. The economic downturn is already hurting casinos and high oil as it relates to the airlines is going to be crippling for the industry as people rethink their summer vacations to Vegas, he said.

High Oil Prices Spur Thoughts About Bubbles,

Follow the link for complete text of this article.

Don't bubbles usually occur after several years of people crying "wolf"? When they burst you usually see a massive short capitulation and then hear those famous words, when it gets back to (name a price well above the market) I'm getting out.
clipped from online.wsj.com
[chart]

A bubble, says The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics, "refers to asset prices that exceed an asset's fundamental value because current owners believe they can resell the asset at an even higher price."

But figuring out whether a commodity exceeds its fundamental value is difficult: Because there is no income stream, there is no equivalent to the price-to-earnings ratios that people use to value stocks.

11 Billion Reasons to Buy These Stocks

clipped from www.fool.com
It has to be the most sobering statistic related to the spike in gasoline prices. The Department of Transportation reported this morning that Americans covered 4.3% fewer miles -- which equals 11 billion -- on the country's roads in March than they did a year earlier.
Netflix
(Nasdaq: NFLX): The movie rental giant is an obvious winner. It has 8.2 million subscribers enjoying DVD rentals without having to step out much beyond their front porch.

Crude math: $10 equates to $610 million

Investors might want to take note. I wonder how much the Federal government is paying in higher fuel costs across the board?

Imagine the cost for state and local governments just to cover the rising fuel prices for school buses.

I really don't think much thought is going into all the higher cost issues for school systems across the country. We should be reading about budget crunches all across the country soon.

Innovative Businesses Using Google

This a a great example of how to use Google to improve product offerings. Maybe this will give you the next great idea. Check out the video site for future reference.
We're always amazed by the innovative ways businesses use Google Maps to improve their product offering, whether it's creating heat maps to help users visualize home price trends or enabling them to search for that all-important coffee shop near their hotel. News sites are no exception; for example, KPBS and the Los Angeles Times used Google Maps back in October to report real-time on the spread of the San Diego wildfires.
I'm happy to announce that we've launched a video site to spotlight these organizations and their great work with Google Maps.
