Revolutionary breakthrough awesome tasting beverage company is gonna break every record known to Wall Street…or is it just the latest scam? Can ya guess what I think?
Trading The Latest Hot Beverage Stock: Skinny Nutritional (SKNY.OB)
Skinny Nutritional (SKNY.OB) (oxymoronic?) just launched the latest zero calorie water brand, Skinny Water, lured in some third-tier Coca Cola executive to serve on their board, basically entirely for his title (giving him 2mil shares–and many others many millions more–while unsuccessfully / humorously / amateurishly trying to ticker spam that announcement to get included in the Yahoo! news of Coca-Cola bottling (COKE), Pepsi (PEP) and of course Coca Cola (KO) (silly pumpers, for some strange reason, you guys haven’t read my book An American Hedge Fund, if you had, you’d know ticker spam is for kids…back in 1999-2000!), all the while trying to pitch themselves as the next Vitamin Water.
How ugly that $2 billion house? I wouldn’t pay a dime over $50 mil…seriously, the dude got ripped off
The World’s First Billion Dollar Home Sucks! How Would You Spend It?
Just saw THIS pathetically un-embeddable video coverage of the world’s first billion dollar home—which is actually gonna cost $2 billion—and I felt pretty sick to my stomach. Sure, it’s just a small fraction of the guy, Mukesh Ambani’s, India’s richest person, $43 billion net worth and he has every right to what he wants with his hard earned money, but I couldn’t help but wonder how $2 billion might be better spent.
For instance, for just about the same price Mukesh coulda woulda shouldla bought Wendy’s, whose 6,000+ stores bring in just over $500 mil in revenue each year. Or maybe take on a new industry by buying hot hot hot company Nanosolar. Then again, I guess a badass house is better than just throwing $2 billion away as Merrill Lynch chose to do
Me: luxury goods and I don’t see to get along too well—I always lose or break them all—so I’d probly spend the money expand on my Tulane scholarship, building a worldwide financial education program…start young and go grassroots, aiming to replace the near-useless-in-life priority-flawed Little League program (which would not only be fun to try to do, but infinitely more fulfilling than any thing / piece of property will ever be).
Let’s hear from you, how would you spend $2 billion?
Guess Yahoo’s Monday Closing Price, Win A Free Autographed Book!
Since this YHOO/MSFT thing is such an absolute joke, little different from the Ashley Dupre affair and thanks to some solid brainstorming with my friends at TheLion.com, I was inspired to make it into a somewhat useful waste of time by doing a similarly themed giveaway: one free autographed copy of my book, An American Hedge Fund, to whoever guessed YHOO’s opening price Monday morning.
But since great minds think alike, and the greater the mind, the quicker it thinks, Lindzon beat me to it, offering up some cool free yoga gear.
The blogosphere ain’t about copying so to be unique / make it infinitely more difficult / random / annoying, to win an autographed copy of my book, leave a comment on this post guessing YHOO’s CLOSING price on Monday!
