Value for most items is based in emmotion. The value only remains for as long as someone wants the product. Holding an assest that has limited supply but high demand would result in the value going up. In effect the minority holders would also benefit from the majority holding the asset and not flooding the market with supply.

Look at gold...if a nation states like China dumps their gold a whole bunch of small investors are going to be hurt.

I sold electronics at Sears in the early 90's. LXI was the house brand and it was made by various major manufactures like RCA, Toshiba, etc. This idea of retailer specific models from major manufactures is not new at all. Its been done for decades. I frequently had to deal with competitor price matching and the models never matched. The internet is to the discount retailers as the discount retailers were to the specialty shops with actual knowledgeable sales people. Customers used to come in for the knowledge and then head to the discount store to make the purchase. I guess I can't feel sorry for them...turn about is fair play.

If my comment is going to get rated troll but the OP is +5 interesting for calling me a "self-indulgent rich dick" because I drive an SUV...I'm going to earn it. SUCK IT. I'm neither rich nor self-indulgent. I just prefer the SUV for my driving conditions. I have no pity for the OP's inferiority complex. If you want to make a case for protecting the environment don't wrap it in a shortsighted, factually inacurate, crybaby argument. ...and one more SUCK IT for good measure. ...and not sure where you are from but we call it "gas" or "gasoline" in the US.

I don't know where you live but most public transit, both train and bus, are not sustainable without tax support. Amtrack gets millions a year just from my state alone. Also, 9 billion was earmarked in the Obama stimulus for passenger rail upgrades that will likely only be used between two states. Those roads you hate paying for are used to deliver the goods and services that you likely enjoy. You don't have to be a driver to receive benefit from the road infrastruture. Also, what about the people driving electric cars...paying no "road tax" but still using the road?

I like my SUV...get over it. If you think pollution starts and ends with the car one choses to drive then you will remain ignorant. It's also ignorant to assume that because I drive an SUV that I pollute more than someone with a car. Maybe I don't drive as far or as often. Maybe I'm much better at combining trips. Maybe the car drivers that pass my house and throw their trash and beer bottles in my yard are "self-indulgent" polluting dicks too.

Wholly smokes...

...and supposedly "tax and spend liberal" presidents actually shrinking debt.

I don't know what the savings are with these DC closures...the article doesn't say. But tell me where in these numbers you see a liberal shrinking the debt http://www.treasurydirect.gov/govt/reports/pd/histdebt/histdebt_histo5.htm - probably hosted on a server in one of the soon to be shuttered DCs...

The only constant is change.
