How Facebook Is Like A Killer Whale

July 1, 2014 by Harry Joiner - Add Comment
While I was thinking about how I felt about Facebook’s now-controversial experiment (short version: Facebook did nothing wrong, but was kind of icky; the big issue is transparency, not informed consent) I emailed Misha Angrist to get his thoughts. Angrist, for those of you who don’t know, is one of the first people to have his genome sequenced. And he wrote a book, Here Is A Human Being, about the experience. I’ve heard him hold court passionately about how the current system of informed consent can actually block people from participating in research they want to be a part of, [...]

Michaels Companies Fails to Craft Enthusiasm for IPO

July 1, 2014 by Harry Joiner - Add Comment
Filed under: Investing Source: Wikimedia Commons.

Yesterday wasn’t much better. Compare this to action-camera maker GoPro, which also IPO’d last week and soared 32% on its first day of trading. Michaels’ subdued offering might have more to do with its private equity [...]

Which Stocks Will Win From the War on Coal?

July 1, 2014 by Harry Joiner - Add Comment
Filed under: Investing In another blow to the coal industry, the Environmental Protection Agency, recently announced rules demanding that power plants should reduce carbon emissions by 30% from 2005 levels by 2030. The likely effect of enacting these rules will be to damage prospects for U.S. coal miners, and with China increasingly concerned with reducing its dependence on coal, their (coal miners’) export prospects could also be adversely affected in the future. With that said, it’s time to look at which companies have upside and downside opportunities if the “war on coal” continues. False [...]
