Nearly Gone. “To put this into some sort of basic perspective, if you had purchased $1000 worth of BlueFreeway stock exactly 1 year ago, that would be worth the princely sum of $42 as of close of play today.” Virtual Geek – So, how **EXACTLY** does VM HA’s admittance algorithm […]
smh.com.au – Cut fuel price, say voters Why do people think the government should intervene in the supply/demand determined pricing of a scarce resource? Did everyone fail economics 101?
