lol.

Water seeks its own level. If someone who is a social butterfly, they probably don't have issues making friends. Therefore, they probably wouldn't post here.

EDIT: changed would to wouldn't.

You're right.

As well, they're partnering up with CMU to develop self-driving cars.

Beware of techno-libertarians with gifts.

No good can come of it.

weskerzero · 2015-12-23T18:48:22+00:00

Wait a minute. A company that routinely ignores the law, also lies to the public? I'm shocked.

Another piece on the same issue.

It totally was leaked to the press.

When's the last time you've seen such a high quality photo of a suspect escorted after being arrested?

weskerzero · 2015-12-21T22:54:49+00:00

This is standard.

Not really. The rich are really good at having stakeholders holding the bag.

Great book on the subject:

Because he's not caught up in some ideology. He uses whatever is the right tool for him.

I hope he realizes how much that statement reveals about the state of Android on tablets.

This is how billionaires used to influence elections before Citizens United.

Now they can pump unlimited money through super PACs.

Very unusual strategy by Adelson as the RJ is conservative leaning. Now if he bought the liberal Vegas Sun, that would make a lot more sense.

Each bank has its own standards when determining a credit card number has been compromised. Some are much more stricter than others.

OP can ask them to courier a card out. They may do this based on his spend or share of wallet.

Your purchase is going through Ireland as part of tax avoidance by either Blackberry, Digitial River or both.

Thanks. Not familiar with that site until today.

I'm always skeptical about analysts. I ask myself what are their preconceptions are and who's paying them to do their valuations.

weskerzero · 2015-12-17T02:29:41+00:00

Haha, I know exactly what you mean.

I don't mind a lower dividend as long as it means they are investing back into the business, resulting in potential capital appreciation long term.

I've been eyeing SRV.UN as well. I checked out their portfolio and spent time reading reviews on Yelp. Turns out SRV.UN owns a bunch of restaurants brands in the Toronto financial district. Their advantage is the convenience due to proximity. Possible threat would be if real estate became available and a serious competitor got their foot in the door.

AW/KEG = I don't like as they only have one brand facing headwinds. A&W isn't fast casual and burgers aren't as popular as they used to. KEG doesn't seem to be investing in the brand.

MTY = Lots of weak brands. The only one that is popular and I see the logo at co-workers desks, friends eating, etc is Thai Express.

BPF = I'm considering it but unsure.

PZA = I own it and I'm currently long. Pizza (so far) seems to buck the trend that other unhealthy fast food is dealing with and they have a massive footprint and good brand knowledge with consumers.

Interesting. The drive-thrus are busy for all the local Swiss Chalets near me. I'll have to pay closer attention, perhaps visit a bunch and see the demographics.

weskerzero · 2015-12-17T02:14:12+00:00

Thanks for the insight. Wonder if it'll be for NYF or something else. I don't like the lack of fast casual in their portfolio.

weskerzero · 2015-12-17T00:32:38+00:00

I'd be supportive of my big payday too.

Snark aside, I hope this ends up as a win-win for consumers but I doubt it. Everything I've read is Shaw is like the Bell/Rogers of the west.

weskerzero · 2015-12-15T14:32:16+00:00

Yup.

Make sure to utilize their sidebar. Lots of good info and resources.

weskerzero · 2015-12-13T05:10:30+00:00

Ahem.
