Where Google Gets Its Power / Companies / Google
By: MISES
On September 21, 2011, Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt faced a hailstorm of criticism from senators and rival CEOs alike at a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee's Antitrust, Competition Policy, and Consumer Rights Subcommittee. According to Nextag (who?) CEO Jeffrey Katz, "Google rigs the results" of searches to give preferential treatment to its own businesses. Yelp (who, again?) CEO Jeremy Stoppelman claimed, "Google is no longer in the business of sending people to the best destinations on the Web. It has everything to do with generating more revenue." Senator Mike Lee of Utah charged the search engine of having "clear and inherent conflict of interest."

Dump Deutsche Bank Before It’s Squeezed by Europe’s Capital Crunch / Companies / Banking Stocks
By: Money_Morning
Jack Barnes writes:
Frankfurt-based Deutsche Bank AG (NYSE: DB) is about to be critically wounded by the European banking crisis.
Don't get me wrong - it will survive the spiraling financial mess. Germany will defend it because it's the bellwether of big banking in Europe. It's their version of "too big to fail."

Beat Inflation and a Down Market With Dividend Stocks / Companies / Dividends
By: Investment_U
Marc Lichtenfeld writes:
The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco issued a report predicting stock prices could fall 13 percent in the next decade.
That would be some accomplishment. I’m not sure if the researchers who issued the report are aware that they’re predicting the fifth-worst 10-year performance by the market in the last 74 years. The four worst: the 10-year periods ending in the years 1937, 1938, 1939 and 1940 – all time frames that were impacted by the Great Depression.

Undervalued Crude Oil Stocks / Companies / Oil Companies
By: Zeal_LLC
The grinding 6-week-old bottoming process following the stock-market correction is doing its job, shaking out all the weak hands. These traders who haven’t learned to suppress their own fear are selling low, disproportionately hammering popular sectors like commodities stocks. Excessive and unsustainable fear drives incredible bargains, including in oil stocks. They are super-oversold and very undervalued.

General Moly - The Ulimate Coinfidence Stock / Companies / Company Chart Analysis
By: George_Maniere
Several Days I wrote an article on a fantastic stock, General Moly (GMO). General Moly is in the home stretchof being permitted. The Record of Decision (ROD) is drawing to a conclusion and while the water rights were approved, they were appealed. When the town had a hearing on the appeal they had about two hundred chairs to make sure everyone that wanted to attend would be comfortable. Well two ranchers showed up and as it turned out their ranches are not in the vicinity that would be impacted by the mine. I can only conclude that they see money and want some.
