Should College Students Be Forced To Buy E-Books?
by Janet Novack
18 May 2012 at 10:13am
It's not just rising college tuition and room and board charges. It's all those incidentals--from student activity and health fees to lab fees and books--that are turning higher education into such a financial burden. According to the College Board's latest Trends In College Pricing report, in 2011-2012, books and supplies cost students at four year public colleges an average of $1,168, and at private non-profit four-year colleges an average of $1,213. Nor is this a new problem. A 2005 report by Congress' Government Accountability Office found that from 1986 through 2004, text book prices nearly tripled, rising at twice the rate of inflation.

Catalysts Driving Apple to $800 by Year End; Psst Facebook Does Not Have Them
by Darcy Travlos
18 May 2012 at 9:24am
I have published on (and bought) Apple all the way down in the $590s, $580s and $560s. I bought more Apple at $532. Buying Apple on unexplained stock dips (ie, $85 in 2008) has proven fortuitous. I believe that today, with Apple in the $530-$540s, represents the same opportunity. Zig and build a position in Apple, while the rest of the (media) world is zagging and focused on Facebook. What does Apple have going for it?
