Doug,
I believe there is a flaw in your V/R ratio formula . For instance , Homer has an outstanding V/R of 15.5 yet you stated in peanuts' thread that anything above 20 is outstanding. Don't you mean anything below 20 is outstanding ?

Remedial Arithmetic 101 for Billy:

Lets say there are 10 replies(posts) and 100 views.

V=100
R=10

100/10= 10

Now lets say there are 10 replies(posts) and 200 views.

V=200
R=10

200/10= 20

Now which one is better?...An avg. of 10 people reading every post or an average of 20 people reading every post?

I'm sorry Doug, did you say that there's a forest over there? If so, I can't see it through all those trees...

I would rather have 1000 views and 1000 responses... with a V/R of 1... wouldn't everyone that reads it find the thread provocative??? I think less than 20 is better.


Chuck Norris built my deck... All that I gave him was a steel beam and several trees. He brought no tools with him.

No No No!!!...You and Billy have your priorities screwed up...

Lets say you have 500 posts on your thread and you posted all of them...Now lets say in your scenario of a V/R of "1" being the ultimate you also had 500 views....500/500= 1....That would mean that you were the only one who ever read your posts...Heck, you could just email all your posts to yourself instead of posting...LOL...IIC

New-Home Sales Rise In May


June 26, 2006 - Sales of new single-family homes rose 4.6 percent to a seasonally adjusted, annual rate of 1.23 million units in May from a downwardly revised number in the previous month, according to figures reported by the U.S. Census Department today.

“If the sales gain in today’s report holds true, it’s likely due at least partly to the extra efforts that builders are making to attract the many potential buyers who are still out there,” noted David Pressly, president of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and a home builder from Statesville, N.C. “Many are stepping up incentives or trimming prices to help maintain sales volume.”

“That said, the May sales number seems a bit too good to be true, especially in view of the wide confidence intervals around these statistics. Furthermore, the latest results of NAHB’s builder surveys indicate weaker demand for homes coinciding with higher interest rates, deepening affordability issues and a retreat of investors/speculators from the market,” added NAHB Chief Economist David Seiders. “We don’t think the cooling process for housing is over yet, and we wouldn’t be surprised to see a downward revision to May’s numbers as well as some decline in coming months.”

Three out of four regions posted gains in the Census figures for new-home sales in May. The South had the strongest gain, of 6 percent, followed by the West’s 5.3 percent increase and the Midwest’s 2.7 percent gain. Sales fell nearly 8 percent in the Northeast.

Meanwhile, the inventory of new homes for sale declined slightly in May to 556,000 units, equivalent to a 5.5-month supply at the current sales pace.

DJ RSA Security Says In Talks Regarding Potential Strategic Transaction

DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
Shares of RSA Security Inc. (RSAS) were halted early Thursday following a report in the New York Times that the company is close to being sold in a deal with either EMC Corp. (EMC) or another undisclosed bidder.
The Bedford, Mass., developer of online security technology issued a statement shortly after the opening bell, responding to the report by acknowledging it is in talks with parties about a potential strategic acquisition but that no definitive deal has been reached.
RSA added that it won't make any further announcements regarding its sale process unless a specific transaction is approved by its board and it has entered into a definitive agreement.
