who's ordering hollow points? - Page 3

Kieth, in your business, the worse the price of property, the more your company can earn...
buy it cheap, and sell it high?


btw, the foundation your company supports is cool.

We typically don't buy properties with re-selling them in mind unless we get one or two as part of a larger acquisition and they are under-performing and/or don't otherwise fit the quality of properties typical of our portfolio.

"btw, the foundation your company supports is cool."

Thank you!  We're pretty proud of the work they do!

your charity is an example of what "people" can do for each other.......not what the government can do for the people...assuming your charity isn't on the government doll.

Good detective work!  LOL!

Nope, we are in no way dependent on the government although we did receive a tax abatement when we built our new headquarters building several years ago.  The reasoning behind that from a city government perspective is that it helps to maintain our vibrant downtown economy not only because of the nearly 1,000 employees who work, eat and shop nearby but because of the couple/few thousand consultants, vendors, potential or existing tenants, etc. who come to our offices every week, stay in area hotels and also shop, eat, etc. downtown.  It has proven to be a symbiotic relationship that has benefitted all parties involved.  It's pretty much a win/win for everyone.

Some other facts about us that might interest you...our foundation is just the tip of the iceberg as it relates to charitable giving.  Our philathropy is so extensive in the community that the individual endowments are too numerous to mention but of particular note was the company founder's family's gift a few years ago of $40 million to build a new wing onto our local children's hospital.

If you are a potential investor, we're a pretty solid place to put your money.  Bloomberg, last week, rated our employees the most valuable in the S&P 100 in a comparison of market captalization vs. number of employees.  What that means to you is that we run a tight, efficient ship.  Our CEO is the best of the best...I've been in this industry for more that 20 years and have worked for this company and many other predominate players in the market as a consultant for many, many years before becoming an actual employee...he is very good at what he does and the results reflect it.  He and his executive team are brilliant, actually.  Consider: the average return on investment for the S&P 500 for the past ten years has been 58%; our return on investment over that same time period was 397%...and we are entirely reliant on consumer confidence!  We are and always have been hiring qualified applicants.

Here's the part you'll hate...we don't give a crap about corporate tax rates or income taxes on the wealthy or health care or any of the rest of that crap that you claim...I know that this an extreme example but if our taxes, health care costs, etc. were 99% and we only had the opportunity to get $1 million on income of $100 million, we'd still take it.  It's how we roll...sure, $95 million or 75 million or $50 million would be better but $1 million is still $1 million and it's still profit!  The suggestion that any company will turn down any profit because it isn't enough is ridiculous.

Our company, by the way, is run by staunch, pragmatic Democrats.

 

SitasMom has it 100% correct.  Folks these are enhanced hollowpoints with razor edge projectile that appear during mushrooming.  they are illegal for militray use and are only for personal one-shot kills. They are often referred to as "black talon" type rounds and are very expensive.  They are not for practice as HS has lied and stated.  Practice rounds are called "hard ball" and are very cheap, often reloads.  these purchases are specifically dsigned to be used on American Citizens.  This retired Major General wondered if HS is really a trojan horse private mercenary army that has been built up to represent foreign interests and serve as a trojan horse to be used to attack US Militray troops.  These are very dangerous tmes when we have such an en enemy within our gates in America. For folks that want to learn more and have an open mind, they can go to http://www.infowars.com to learn more.  When you have a retired Major general (US Army) coming forth publicly and warning us you better believe that our govt has been hijacked by an offshore based Gloabl NWO crime syndicate.  Hopefully folks will wake up and take their country back soon. If everyone does their part and gets the truth out, these foreign based globalist invaders will be stopped cold.

keith,
both democrats and republicans have such charities.......many of which are good.

before the welfare state, charities took care of the ones that needed help......the way is should be even now..... the more the federal government gets it claws into the afairs of the people the less freedom we have to actually help others.

Preston,
I was more worried about out of controll spending........
Will have to check into your link....

SitasMom, yes we all should be concerned about extreme US budgetary excesses.  So far the USG has not been able to negotiate a workable budget.  Expenditures will have to either be cut 25-30%, or income raised by that same amount, or more money printed (eg QE3, QE4, etc.).  QE water down the value of the issued money which is actually comprised of debt notes (originally was a silver or gold certificate and thus redeemable in real value, while todays debt notes are only as good as theose behind it--now with 750+ trillion dollars in derivatyes behind such backed by about 1-3% equity, the whole system is a house of cards ready to ciollapse say many ecoomists).  Looks like the private fed isa going to issue QE3 as a stop gap fix which will likely be short term only.  meantime China buys up more and more gold and properties and businesses in North America and Europe and gets ready to start its own new world wide currency system.  then you have the BRIC nations uinifying into a new trade and financial union.  Looks like the US is being pushed to the periphery unless things change.

SitasMom, we should also be concerned about unConstitutional USG spying, cointelpro and chaos type continuing operations and subprograms.  Don't take my word for it listen to what a former FBI agent of 16 years experience says.  It will be the application of all this American intel data via complex algorythyms by the alphabets which will deploy the use of this ammo against ordinary Americans who fit the profiles.  HS is buying black talon type rounds to attack and shoot American citizens with.
