Worst business decisions ever?

I have to agree with Terri Brown.  The fact Obama is in there, and heads to Cambodia when we have a Crisis in the Mideast, and in the U.S. tells me what his agenda is.  It is all about him.  He is going to try to be another Morsi of Egypt.  So the voters who voted him in, beware of what you wish for.  He made promises he did not keep first time.  The only people who are better off are him and the Unions and his contributors.  I am sure they got back 10 fold of what they gave.  Chicago Corrupt Politics and it is not going away till he does.  They do not care of all these young people killing each other.  So, the bad decision is the Unions, those who fixed the machines, and those who actually voted for Oblama.  Who is he going to blame now.  Congress.  He does not know that a leader is the one who accepts responsibility for everything.  Took him minutes to accept credit for Bin Laden.  And how convenient he did not know of Petreaus until the elections were over. LOL.  What an idiot for accepting Petreaus resig

Worst business decisions:

Coke comes out with new formula

Excite passed on the opportunity to buy Google for $750,000

IBM lets Microsoft keep the rights to MS-DOS

Electronic Data Systems passes up the opportunity to buy Microsoft for $60,000,000

Decca Records passes on signing up the Beatles because "guitar groups are on the way out."

Financial companies won't hire me because I don't have experience, even though I have been self-employed in the financial field for the past 10 years and have letters of recommendation that come from top people (Presidents, Managing Partners, Founders, etc.) in corporation's that everyone has heard of

How to lose your assets in less that 45 days: There are less than 45 days left before Year End. The Fiscal Cliff looms and publicly traded companies who lived fully off stock activity are preparing one last dividend offering before the bottom falls out. Which comes first- payment of the dividend or bankruptcy filings? When a business announces a dividend sharing, it says "shareholders on day XX of record will be paid on day XX". With the exception of yesterday's criminally-orchestra​ted market pump, markets have been steadily declining since Election Day. Layoffs and terminations have been increasing. The 3rd quarter was dismal. The big events of the 4th quarter aren't building any momentum. It is very likely that dividend qualification day occurs on a downward slope. Shorters would have that covered and literally cause a stock price to fall below the value of the dividend. The next day of course, dividend w.hores sell out and cause that stock to collapse entirely. Shorters get paid first because there is no delay like the dividend so by the time dividend payout day arrives... it could come a day and dollar too late. The kicker... a great deal of this activity will come from two sources-- illegal offshore (dark) and super computerized funds. The very real potential exists that around or on 12/21/12, combined computerized and adverse influences wipes out the financial sector completely. Not a fantasy... consider the aspects and manipulation culminating in a single bad trade/sale day. BOOM... Wall Street is out of business.

Laugh it off now. Fools always do. I may not be Roubini but we tend to arrive at the same answers fairly often. Too many on the deck, all leaning in the same direction. No economy in offset. Gravity. It's not rocket science, just commonsense. When YOU are broke, it's the shelter not bail, ahead.
