IBDvalueinvestin — Tue, 07 May 2013 22:17:51 GMT

But in real terms it never was $1855/shr, that price is what the share price would have been if you take into account all the reverse stock splits its had since then. But either way if you shorted and kept shorting since 2009, you would ha...

Mid-day market Crash was it really a Hacked account?

IBDvalueinvestin — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 17:45:46 GMT

Those 3 Nations were Serbia, Bulgaria and Greece. Why did they try so hard? As usual its greed for land expansion at the expense of others.
Here is brief history of what happened to Macedonia which even today is fighting for its very existance:
