So as an update, Winter wasn"t so bad, we only lost 40k (compared to 100k the year before). Looking at history, the company has lost 30k on average in the Winter, and is profitable the rest of the year. March was on track to be up over 100% than last March, but we lost five days of work in the...

God made ipads so we could read comics torrents on them. My ipad is almost the same size as a comic, page wise. The only problem I have is the lenghty amount of time it takes for me to transfer a comic from I-Tunes to my ipad, it might be I"m using the wrong app.

Yeah, ipad is great for reading comics. Forget a computer screen, I can hold it in my hands, change size at a whim, turn it to the side like a paper comic, and the screen is almost the size of a real comic book. When I saw a demo of the ipad, I thought it was neat, but the sample Iron Man...

I"d love to see the hard data on that, by reliable sources. Every thing that"s been presented to me by a prof or a mutual fund manager says that quant > TA (with TA having some benefit once you"ve done your quant work). I"d like to see some good research that says you don"t need to know the...

More concerning to me in reading that week"s books, is that Batman has now copied the JLA"s abilities, so he has heat vision, force field, ability to invis, super speed, teleport, magic lasso, green lantern abilities, etc. WTH.

The return of Batman

This is the nerdiest post I"ve ever seen on FOH. You actually put together a spreadsheet on reading order. Congrats.

Gonna have to agree with you there. Everyone brags about beating the market, but no one wants to show you their portfolios.

Yup.

There"s many ways to do TA, but don"t let it be the main focus on your investing. Empirically, fundamental investing is better than TA. The people I know that are professionals at investing (i.e. fund managers from my b-school), look at the present value of cash flows of the company first to...

Yes it is. There"s nothing like bringing in 30k in sales in a week, but only receiving $300. Our customers tend to pay within 60 days, so when we really get busy, our accounts receivable balloon, expenses go through the roof, and cash on hand goes down. Within the first few months of me buying...

Yup. I"ve taken to reading the old comic books over the new ones. Can"t remember too many memorable moments from the new comics. Alot of the new ones are just flat out suck.

No wonder you haven"t been laid yet.

That timeline was one of the best posts I"ve seen on this board. I am almost thinking we should unban him just to see if he has the balls to post here anymore.

Wednesday, May 19, 2010 Journal The following is concerning my soon to be ex-wife and her little lover boy Jeremy. For two years all she did was lie and cheat. She put her children, all 6 of them last before her own concerns.....well 5 at the time because Alex was not yet born. She put her...

And that"s a good way to put it. To me, the Grob/Millie troll is the worst one, because they have a very loose grip on sanity, and there"s no end to the "overcompensation" in sight. Every other type of troll is just playing at it. You can literally see this type of troll go out in flames when...

I always thought that Grobbee"s posts had more of an insane-like-Jester-Rodo feel to them.

I have a theory that Grobbee has confirmed. I don"t know if there"s any studies behind it, but I believe that internet trolls have such screwed up and out of control lives that they go on message boards to try to overcompensate. Now they"ve found someplace where they can have some modicum of...

Its like he"s Grobbee 3.0. The guy has absolutely no clue what it takes to run a business, let alone a profitable one, yet he"s in here wildly flinging poo like a monkey in a zoo. There"s no way any of you can judge what it takes to run a profitable business in this economy, unless you are...

A lawyer calling anyone else a douche is like a $2 prostitute calling the Virgin Mary a whore. Your whole profession exists on the fecal matter of people who actually produce something in this country.

Its stupid - they are too busy trolling to see the reality. I have employees of other companies begging to work for me because: 1- At a minimum, guys get 50% more pay for each pay grade 2- If they work ten hours, they get paid 35 hours, we don"t let them starve like the competitors. In a...

Here"s the thing. While it might be funny to see his response while unbanned, you give him posting priviledges again, and he"ll just fling another 5k of dung posts at us. This post should get sent to the HoS, and leave it at that.

Its pretty clear by all the crap Grobbee"s posted, starting at Communism, and then making comments about mooching off his parents and kids alike, that he"s a selfish prick. We"ve had 4,576 troll posts from him and I really hope it isn"t a temp ban. Enough is enough.

Posting in this epic thread before its gets posted in next to the "Millie"s a Man" thread. I"ve always said it, the poster named Grobbee had some serious rl issues. You can tell by how some people post that their life isn"t going too hot, and they come to FOH and fling feces around as if would...

Try not to show too much class envy there.

You are comparing apples to oranges. Its Business 101 to benchmark yourself against your competitors inallareas. If you don"t you go under. Employees of the same company aren"t competition, moreso in my industry. We do everything in teams, and if the team doesn"t meet its goal, their...

He"s a douchenozzle lawyer, they love to argue just for the sake of arguing.

I have no idea what the hell your point is anymore. The ends justifies the means and my people thank me for keeping them well fed while the economy is in the dumper. Thats all that matters.

And I bet they screw with you once they get good and trained, eh? They know it takes that long to train them, and you aren"t going to easily fire them.

They aren"t herded. Each crew needs to do at least $2,000 a day, and as long as they are polite, customer focused and honest, I don"t care how they do it. They have their parameters, as long as they stay in parameters, they can do what they want. I run loose-tight, and I haven"t seen half the...

How does a parasitic lawyer call anyone a douchenozzle? Ask my people if I"m a good boss or not. If I"m a douchenozzle, why is it that we constantly have a mass influx of people that come from our competitors, and yet no one has left the company of their own volition. They are paid double...

In our industry, people don"t go to school first to get trained, and then look for employment. They either get trained on the job, or they get a mixture of on the job training and schooling. So, for a guy to get fully trained, its like the same amount of time as getting a college degree, except...

My mentality changed over time. In the past, when I worked for corporations, I had people work for me, but didn"t have hiring or firing ability. In that case, all you can do is try to counsel people on their behavior, and if that doesn"t work, you can go to whomever has hiring/firing/pay...

There"s no way to compare yourself to another employee without looking like a douche and jeoparding getting put in the "not ready for promotion" bin. I agree that the offer letter from another company is > all. Its just a rule of negotiations, that your position of highest power comes from...

And just wait until you tell that employee about their negatives and see what happens. Joe makes that much because he"s on time, has a good attitude, always works hard, and does what is expected. You are the polar opposite of him. You tell employees the cold hard truth, and they lose their...

If you can"t see the other side, obviously, you"ve never managed people before.

And when you have employees that ignore how much cash, and tell you they deserve it because they are "close" to this person, its a huge headache for the boss. I"ll put it to you this way. Before I trained a guy to be the Assistant Manager, if my head guy was sick, we"d be unable to give...

As I said in my above post, I worked for a company where it was a written policy that comparing salary would result in discipline up to termination. No manager wants to explain why a co-worker is more qualified. And everyone thinks they are better than everyone else. Now that I own my own...

You mightcarefullytry to get more. You need to listen to their tone of voice as you talk to them. If they start to sound irritated, back off. They haven"t offered you the job, and as I"ve been told by recruiters, a guy that goes too far in trying to get pay is considered inflexible (as in not...

There a saying in business that the hardest thing to change about your product is how you go to market. Sometimes, the middle men that sell your product lawyer up and prevent you from making changes. In some industries, they actually lobby to get laws changed for them. For instance, when I was...
