Templeton man sizes up global stocks $13 billion fund sticks to world's largest companies By Thom Calandra, CBS MarketWatch Last Update: 5:59 AM ET June 27, 2001 marketwatch.com What's cheap, what's not Murchison is also positive on non-U.S. stocks. "When you have (British) sterling at 15-year lows, the Australian dollar at 15-year lows, the euro struggling, it is just a great time for U.S. investors to be buying overseas," says Murchison, who attended Edinburgh and Glasgow universities in Scotland. Some 3 percent of the fund is invested in South Korea, in companies such as LG Electronics, which grew sales to China by 50 percent last year. "This is a company with a single-digit P/E. The Chinese are buying lots of refrigerators and air conditioners," he says.

2. 'eliminate the need to do math..for qualifying orders'! So instead of simply adding 3 bucks to the price, we shoppers have to remember a list six bullet-points long of instructions on how to get the free shipping promo. One never had to do math in the past. One marvel of a computer is its ability to do that for us. I would have thought that Amazon had bought powerful enough servers and had high enough quality programmers so that the total would show on the screen for the buyer. amzn really seems to be shooting in the dark - "trying" whatever they can. hey, i thought they had a PLAN! Without trying to show my great dislike for the firm and its management, there is no question in my mind they have been throwing darts for years and hope one hits the target. The other firms playing the same game could not raise as much cash so their experiment has ended. I anticipate revenue this quarter to come in at the very low end of guidance which was lowered significantly at the beginning of this year. This will be blamed on the economy. The Georgia DC they closed was open one full year. That is a quite an amazing waste of resources. Now their plan is to outsource fulfillment such as electronics and books. They cut back on hardware so except for the toys during the holidays which are not even Amazon's their DCs are not utilized much.
