Comment Re:SSD (Score 1) 146

I work for a large company where the time savings of daily startup/shutdown, multiplied by tens of thousands of employees who use a company computer on a daily basis, would equate to tens of millions of dollars a year of time savings (very conservative estimate.) All of this for a very modest initial investment (it's not a new component, just a slightly more expensive existing one.)

If you could explain to me how I can make this business case to short-sighted idiots, I could probably get promoted to upper management. Sadly I haven't been able to (yet.)

Comment One question (Score 2) 538

The only question I have is "how do I profit from the knowledge that there is another loan bubble?"

It seems you could short equities in for-profit colleges, but they don't represent the bulk of the debt (at least I don't think so.) As far as student loans themselves are concerned, aren't most of them backed directly by the gov't? In other words there's no Fannie/Freddie that I could short sell.

I'm sure some savvy investors have also thought of this - does anyone have any sage insight for me?
