Taco Bell

Almost all of us have found ourselves in a fast-food restaurant at some point in our lives.

And there are even people who, dare I say, frequent them. Is this a "bad" thing? Not necessarily.

Here's how to make healthier choices when you walk in the door:

Gawker Media recently lost a gigantic lawsuit that could cost it over $140 million, brought against it by former pro wrestler and reality TV star Hulk Hogan over the publication of a sex tape in 2012. 

The lawsuit brought by Hogan accused the New York-based blog of invading his privacy. 

But Gawker founder Nick Denton believes there's another reason why Hogan brought the suit: to prevent the release of additional videos that show him using racial slurs. Читать дальше...

The Dow rose the fifth week in a row last week.

This has put the index firmly in the black for 2016.

Well, this is a showdown, isn’t it?

Either us… or the great mass of investors – one of us is wrong.

In the weeks to come, we’ll find out who. (Notice to new readers: It could go either way.)

Also like Trump, she has alienated conservative purists by showing ideological flexibility and a taste for compromise.

Brewer, for example, was one of the few Republican governors to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, and she fought fiercely with conservative... Читать дальше...

Polls show the real-estate mogul holds a 13-point lead in Arizona, the largest remaining winner-take-all state, which holds its primary Tuesday. 

He also he finds himself with double-digit polling average leads in New York and California, as well.

This has led many analysts on Wall Street to throw up their hands in exasperation, to scrap their financial models and place a hold on their price targets. They will wait for the company — now with its once-celebrated CEO Michael Pearson on the way out ... Читать дальше...

I thought it was a smart move, but I guess I still had a few things to learn.

The plan seemed simple enough on the surface. I would buy a little two bedroom condo one block from the beach on the shore of Lake Tahoe. I would finance it with one of those garbage loans that suck you in with an unrealistically low teaser rate.

Yep, these are the same loans that got so many people in trouble during the real estate crisis.

They trap you with a teaser rate so low you could afford the Taj Mahal... Читать дальше...
