The Big 3: It Takes A Billion, 50 Cents Gets You a Dollar, And Read Up On Darfur

1. It Takes A Billion

2. 50 Cents Gets You a Dollar

3. Read up on Darfur

1. Real headline of the day: “Obama Led First Billion-Dollar Race This Year as Spending on Vote Doubled”. These guys needed a billion dollars to get elected this year and you really think they’re out for anybody but the richest companies and people who gave them the money to get elected? Where do you think all these bailouts come from?

2. I stumbled across Openwave (OPWV) today. You can buy the company for half the amount of money they actually have in their checking account. Problem is that they’ve not generated cash from operations since 2006. You’re gonna see a lot of stocks trading below cash in the next year or two. Be patient though.

3. When was the last time you googled Darfur and read up on the horrific situation there?
