We, on these pages, have often given kudos to Bill Ackman, who runs the hedge fund, Gotham Partners. If you don’t believe we were out there saying the same things he was, regarding a few “choice” companies way back when, you can always check the archive section of the blog to your right. Well there’s [...]
Here’s Some Cutting Edge Journalism…….Greek Style!
We hear at monkeybusinessblog.com like to poke fun and have a good time, sure. But when it comes to the nitty gritty of what’s going down, we also feel like we hang with the best of em in terms of the REAL business news. My good pal, let’s call him “Nick the Greek”, just gave [...]
Doc-tor Love! They Call Him Dr. Love! Or a Banker
I almost fell out of my chair just now. I’m watching Bloomberg TV, which Page Six in the NY Post states today thatthe new network istrying to outdue its competition at FoxNews by hiring its own “foxy news babes”, but that’s not why I almost fell out of my chair. I was watching an interview [...]
Big D Is Just Seeing Red
Well that was a disappointing Saturday going 1-2 and all. It makes us angry. As a matter of fact, we are seeing RED. As in BIG RED. As in, CORNELL BIG RED. Sure they are only getting 4.5 points versus the “beast” of the Big 10 (is that saying much?), Wisconsin. But CORNELL is a [...]
Big D Says "So Close. So Close but Yet So Far"
Editor’s Note–Well that wasa tough way to go 1-2 last night Big Dick. A couple of bounces and you would’ve gone 3-0. But there’s plenty of tournament to go. Let’s get back up on the gambling horse and ride into the sunset. Preferably, with a wallet that we can’t close–R.B.
No Ho’s in Atlantic City…..Really?
It looks like the MGM/Mirage company is being forced to sell their 50% stake in the Borgata Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, NJ. Apparently, the NJ Gaming Commission is aghast (aghast I say!) that the MGM/Mirage is doing business with reported organized crime figure Stanley Ho. See, MGM owns 50% of a hotel/casino in [...]
Media Alert!
Ahhhh its Thursday and while you might be watching intently on the March Madness that is the NCAA basketball tournament, there is a bit of a lull in the action around 5pm eastern. So tune into the always informative and funny Pete Dominick show on your Sirius and XM radio dial. Pete will feature me [...]
Reminder: Madness Tomorrow
Wall Street trading will drop quite a bit tomorrow and Friday afternoon as we get the 1st round of the NCAA tournament starting up at around 12:15pm eastern on both days. I used to love those reports that would come out around this time of year that would show the drag in job productivity whenever [...]
Sorry For The Tardiness
Got roped into a few things today, some of which were kind of interesting. Parent/teacher conference, getting out of jury duty (I said I had important business overseas), etc. Tomorrow I’ll be more focused on blogging. The markets keep grinding higher I see. Maybe the Fed can keep interest rates at 0% forever. Um, maybe [...]
NutriSystem Is Getting Skinnier But That Ain’t Good
It has been brought to my attention that one of the worst performing stocks of 2010 is NutriSystem, Inc.(ticker: NTRI). This struck me as a little odd since the time of year that a lot of people make funny little New Year’s resolutions is around……January. A lot of those resolutions have something to do with [...]
