Squawk on the Street
In "Housing Issues Scarier Than High Oil Prices" Wilbur Ross said how many U.S. public firms are run badly? Answer: 1%

"Housing Issues Scarier Than High Oil Prices"



"Housing Issues Scarier Than High Oil Prices"

"For the big public companies, it makes all the sense in the world, because they need to be accountable, and I can't understand what people are trying to hide from when they don't want an outsider to be the chairperson," he said. "I like the idea of checks and balances. I think that 99 percent of all American companies are run properly, and don't have accounting irregularities, or anything like that. The idea, though, is to avoid being in the one percent that do."

Heard on The Street: Quantitative Questions from Wall Street Job Interviews


Don't laugh. Dr. Crack already sold 30,000 copies of this book. You might want to take a look or send this post to your buddies via email.

Good way to get an edge if you need it.
I used to wonder why interviewers at top firms supplied me with their interview questions to put in a book to sell to their job candidates.
Now I understand that they do not mind if the questions are public knowledge because job candidates
who make a serious investment of time in revising the questions deserve to be hired!
The latest edition also includes about 125 non-quant actual interview questions plus a section on interview technique
As of January 2008, roughly 30,000 copies have been sold with about 10,000 going to people at investment banks, trading firms, and money management firms.

Crude math: $10 equates to $610 million


Investors might want to take note. I wonder how much the Federal government is paying in higher fuel costs across the board?

Imagine the cost for state and local governments just to cover the rising fuel prices for school buses.

I really don't think much thought is going into all the higher cost issues for school systems across the country. We should be reading about budget crunches all across the country soon.

School lunches?

Innovative Businesses Using Google


This a a great example of how to use Google to improve product offerings. Maybe this will give you the next great idea. Check out the video site for future reference.
We're always amazed by the innovative ways businesses use Google Maps to improve their product offering, whether it's creating heat maps to help users visualize home price trends or enabling them to search for that all-important coffee shop near their hotel. News sites are no exception; for example, KPBS and the Los Angeles Times used Google Maps back in October to report real-time on the spread of the San Diego wildfires.
I'm happy to announce that we've launched a video site to spotlight these organizations and their great work with Google Maps.

Lost and found: Errant parrot tells stranger his name and address


Occasionally you find something funny on the OnDeadline blog. Funny?
clipped from blogs.usatoday.com

Two weeks ago, an African grey parrot flew his Tokyo-area coop and was rescued by police, The Associated Press reports. But he was no stool pigeon.

"I tried to be friendly and talked to him, but he completely ignored me," policeman Shinjiro Uemura said.

After a silent night in the pokey, he was taken to a local veterinary hospital. A few days later, he struck up a conversation.

"I'm Mr. Yosuke Nakamura," the bird said, including his complete home address. He also sang for the staff.

Police investigated his alias.

"We checked the address, and what do you know — a Nakamura family really lived there. So we told them we've found Yosuke," Uemura said.

The Nakamura family told police they had been teaching Yosuke his name and address for about two years.
