Yeah, the credit card thing was a ways back. The article I was reading had to do with some other floundering. The food initiative was a response to that, but do investors pay more attention to the initiative or the driver for the initiative?

Good investors will sell stock when a company does something so polarizing like Target did, OK investors will see the trend in downward stock prices early and sell their stock, bad investors will sell their stock too late when the company is likely to start rebounding while the good investors will reinvest.
That is why stocks act a lot like waves in the ocean. However, when you see stocks plummet and investors deciding not to reinvest even when the stock is down... then you have a problem.
I think that Target needs to burn their "ace in the hole" marketing technique to reverse the serious downward trend they've been having.
Good investors will stick with a broad based fund. Great investors have insider information.
I'm stealing that.Quote:

Well...not so fresh...hence the problem.
The flounder is a funny fish.
Eyes on one side, and round as a dish.
They spend their days buried in sand
Cause all'n all they taste so grand.
Well they should hide, if that's their wish,
Since one on my plate would be delish!
I love fishing for flounder, they put up the best fight. That and they taste good too!
Really? I didn't think they fought very well at all. We were fishing for them with hand lines and double hooks. Even if you caught one on each hook it didn't seem like much of a fight. That was almost certainly a different species of flounder, and in much colder water, so it may well be different down south. I never caught a southern flounder.
It's the fight or flounder reaction. You never can tell.
It's very fishy that this post was the last one for so long.
We are talking fish, so how long it has been is not likely as long as you say.....Quote:

I just had a friend die as the result of a motorcycle accident. He was hit going to work yesterday when somebody was turning and didn't see him. He was pronounced brain dead late last night and his heart stopped at 12:09AM this morning as a result of life support being discontinued.
There is a silver lining though... his liver and 2 kidneys were donated to other patients.
David - that is so sad! My prayers go out...
Sorry to hear that DD.
Sorry for your loss.Quote:

A couple of years ago I pulled up to a light next to a car in a right turn only lane. Of course the obliviot driver went straight when the light changed and suddenly realized she was running out of road so she merged into my lane forcing me into oncoming traffic! Fortunately I was wearing steel toe boots and put a nice big dent in her car door. That was a lot more satisfying that it should have been.
I was biking to work a couple years back, but decided that the risks were just too great. Most days, nothing much happened, of course, but about once a week, somebody would do something that wasn't good. In one case, a large SUV tried to pass me at the one point where a curb had been built out into the road for decorative purposes...mostly. I would have been passed there in about one second, but they couldn't wait. I noticed that their mirror missed my hand by a couple inches.
Trouble was always in the afternoon, though. People seemed in a rush to get home, but not in much of a rush in the morning.
Of course I feel like it shouldn't've happened, but it really shouldn't've happened to him... He was in the same crowd that I was some years back, which to say the least is a very bad crowd, but he had just started to turn his life around. He was completely off drugs, he had stopped drinking(mostly), and he had just gotten that job that he was driving to.
It is cool that you can remember him being at a time in his life when things were good. I'd rather be able to remember a friend in that light than remember them at a point when things were dark. Nobody said life was fair, which is why we have to appreciate the time and the days we have.
