http://jadedconsumer.blogspot.com/2012/01/acas-repurchases-raise-nav.html
A Critique of That We Are Offered To Consume. Thursday, January 5, 2012. ACAS Repurchases Raise NAV. Share buybacks at ACAS were new in 2011, but there's some background the investor should be aware of, in order to understand the limited time-frame in which share buybacks are likely and the specific effect of share buybacks on an investment company trading below its net asset value. Worse: on occasions when ACAS traded above. Its net asset value, buybacks actually diluted. How The World Turns. Its plan t...

A Critique of That We Are Offered To Consume. Tuesday, August 4, 2015. Iced Tea Report: Hungry's on Memorial Fails the Iced Tea Refill Test.

http://jadedconsumer.blogspot.com/2015/07/american-general-notices-putins.html
A Critique of That We Are Offered To Consume. Thursday, July 9, 2015. American General Notices Putin's Thugocracy A Threat. At least someone's noticing. Putin's innocent-faced invasion of its neighbor illustrates the harm he's willing to cause when convenient. In order to conceal the scope of the wars Putin conducts in secret, he's declared "peacetime" troop deaths a state secret. Well, of course. People might notice they're actually at war.

After Dell passed her firm, Carly Fiorona tried to retake the top-vendor crown. By having her company Hewlett Packard buy Compaq. The reason HP's stock symbol is now HPQ. This worked - for a bit. But the combined company was itself promptly surpassed by Dell in U.S. market share. Dell looks unstoppable, no?

The Jaded Consumer: On AGNC's Dividend
http://jadedconsumer.blogspot.com/2009/10/on-agncs-dividend.html
A Critique of That We Are Offered To Consume. Sunday, October 25, 2009. An article recently suggested that AGNC's dividends were doomed because they were supported in part with capital gains. Since my own exposure to AGNC is modest, I'm not particularly keen to debate the merits of the prediction that AGNC's dividend might fall. A reader asked what The Jaded Consumer had to say on AGNC's dividend. So here it is: I don't know. Is a Good Thing™.). So, has the dividend peaked? Only if you have someplace eve...
