"Since we're talking about DST (I agree get rid of it or better yet make it permanent) I have a radical proposal: We should switch to only having X time zones in the continental US Merge PT & MT into X time zone (move PT forward X hr) Merge ET & CT into X time zone (move ET back X hr) Wouldn't it be so much better The east and west coasts would only be X hour apart. We wouldn't have to wake up so early and work so late to be on each other's schedules. We'd pretty much eliminate jet lag within the US. Think of the efficiency gains of having more time of the day working together in today's world"

"There is a GREAT story about the last silver ATH (1980) and it was the basis for the fantastic Eddie Murphy movie "Trading Places" In early 1980 the Hunt brothers heirs to a Texas oil fortune- tried to corner the silver market. They bought both physical silver (literally flying it to vaults in Switzerland) and massive amounts of futures contracts. To juice their buying power they used leverage and brought in partners including investors from Saudi Arabia. Their logic: hedge their oil wealth against inflation and create artificial scarcity so they could effectively control the silver price."

"Its true. The original reason for ending prices in .99 was not psychological it was to make sure employees weren't stealing. and it starts with the cash register itself: In the 1870s a saloon owner in Dayton was fed up with his bartenders pocketing cash and was desperate for a solution. While traveling by steamboat he noted the mechanical counter that tracked how many times the ships propeller turned. He realized the same principle could track cash transactions. every sale increments a count just like every propeller revolution. That insight led to his invention: "Rittys Incorruptible"
