1)“Workouts” - These are the securities with a timetable. They arise from corporate activity - sell-outs, mergers, reorganizations, spin-offs, etc. In this category we are not talking about rumors or inside information pertaining to such developments, but to publicly announced activities of this sort.
2)“Generals - Relatively Undervalued” - This category consists of securities selling at prices relatively cheap compared to securities of the same general quality. We demand substantial discrepancies from current valuation standards, but (usually because of large size) do not feel value to a private owner to be a meaningful concept.
Liverpoolfc.tv asked the leading reporters in England the following questions. I pretend to be one of them.
1) Who'll win league? Manchester United.
2) Where will Liverpool finish? Fourth.
3) Surprise package team? Newcastle United.
4) Player of the Year? Steven Gerrard, hopefully.

6) LFC player to watch? Aquilanli. An injury-free Aquilanli would be mouth-watering.
7) One hope as a reporter this season? Liverpool Football Club to be sold to a sugar daddy from Middle East or Russia. Only owners from these two regions are idiotic enough to buy and hold football clubs in Premier League.

He should employ spies, like the female detectives at Syracuse. He must sow quarrels, and impoverish his subjects. He should keep them occupied in great works, as the king of Egypt did in getting the pyramids built. He should give power to women and slaves, to make them informers. He should make war, in order that his subjects may have something to do and be always in want of a leader. It is melancholy reflection that this passage is, of the whole book, the one most appropriate to the present day..."
