I rarely give stock advice. The last time I did was in the summer of 1964 when I read in the newspaper that a new company called ComSat was having an IPO in September. I considered this, perhaps naively, a sure thing. Yet being in my first job I had no money to invest. So, I decided to watch this stock with the fantasy of having invested $1,000 ($6,548 in today’s dollars). My plan was to buy at the IPO price of $10 a share and then sell just before the launch of the first commercial communications satellite, just in case the launch failed. The stock rose meteorically from $10 per share to $80 (the launch did not fail), then the stock split and rose again to more than $80 per share. I made about $240,000 from my $1,000 fantasy investment, equivalent to $1.5 million today.

Although scarce in comparison to the same illness in woman, several drugs are regularly recommended by doctors to treat yeast infection in man. Though handing out prescriptions has become a general practice in medicine, it still strike me odd that these drugs have become a forerunner in the treatment of the ill, seeing as it was not that long ago we were practically brainwashed to refuse all sorts of drugs.

In Morgan Spurlock’s 2004 movie, Super Size Me, the filmmaker focused on how fast food and obesity worked together to create a national epidemic of health and weight concerns. Although it’s no secret that fat laden and greasy hamburgers, french fries, other fried foods and fatty dressings are the staples of America’s fast food empire, is it possible that a diet and fitness program that entails lowering red meat and poultry intake and simply increasing physical activity will contribute to both weight loss and improvements to the environment?
