Any investor that is worth their salt will do their own homework and come up with their own metrics for how they value a company.

The government should get out of the business of deciding what is appropriate for companies to report. As history has shown the government does a terrible job(Volt, Solar, etc.) of investing / guiding investments(mortgages).


The purpose of property rights is to efficiently utilize scarce resources.

Scarce resources include: air on the moon, land, time, physical goods. For example if there is only one potato chip left in the bag me eating it prevents you from eating it.

Data and information are not scarce resources. A copy of software on my computer in no way diminishes the usefulness of the very same software on your computer. In fact both of us having the software may increase the efficiency of scarce resources like our computers or our time!

That's why property rights for data/information/movies/music/software do not improve economic efficiency and make us all worse off.


Sitting all day always lead to me feeling pretty "blah" by the end of the day. I put an end table on top of my desk. My external monitor keyboard and mouse site on top of the end table, and my laptop sits below the end table on my desk. I alternate between sitting and standing throughout the day. I feel much better at the end of the day, now.


Sitting/lying on the couch tends to lead to drowsiness and napping for me.
