...company anymore," says Matt Rosoff, a financial analyst with Directions on Microsoft, based in Kirkland, Wash. "The boom days are over." Last year Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer started giving employees stock grants instead of stock options--a sure sign that the share price is flatlining. Ballmer okayed a minuscule dividend for shareholders, but he has resisted calls to let them dip any further into the $56 billion cookie...
...National Committee chief Terry McAuliffe and just about every Democrat alive. How can anyone believe this? Clinton did not create any jobs. Bill Gates did. Andy Grove did. Jeff Bezos did. In fact, they created an industry. The '90s were a decade when the silicon chip met the "peace dividend" - billions saved by the ending of the cold war - and gave us an economic boom. Clinton deserves credit for not getting in the way. He fulfilled the economic Hippocratic oath: first do no harm. Not screwing up a boom going on around you, however, is not the same...
...cost and customer focused. The megachain's rapidly expanding grocery business--which now accounts for a fifth of U.S. food sales--has left a trail of shuttered supermarkets in its wake. This year in particular, the damage is piling up.

This comes on the heels of Fleming Cos.' liquidation last summer of what had been the second biggest grocery wholesaling business in the country. But even excluding that particular flameout, the industry...
...little more than throwing money at renewable energy, since the House isn’t large enough to significantly increase demand for wind power. Indeed, the House Resource Efficiency Program’s motives are questionable as the investment is more likely to pay a handsome short-term dividend in the form of the Green Cup and a cash prize rather than leading to a long-term or sustainable increase in demand for renewable energy. But we hope that Quincy’s efforts will at least get the University community thinking about what it can do to promote renewables...
...viewpoint, it's irrelevant. Drug prices would come down with controls, but usage would soar. That's the nature of the business for Pfizer and Merck, both of which I find attractive. I want companies that no matter what happens, they would be able to pay me my dividend. For a defensive play in housing look at REITs [real estate investment trusts]. They are up three years in a row, and everybody thinks they're done, but I like Tejon Ranch, one of the largest landowners in California, and Rayonier, which owns 1.6 million acres of Florida timber...
