A shortage is a sign that somebody is keeping the price artificially lower than it would be if supply and demand were allowed to operate freely.

In the big picture, the whole world at every level, micro, macro, physiological, psychological, material, economical, spiritual, all are a demand-supply problem.

We don't have a worker shortage, we have a housing shortage. Our rooms are our product, and we can't tie up our product.

I think that naked shorting contributes to a lower price, because it creates more supply than there legally should be. When supply outpaces demand, economics tells us the price goes down. What else has contributed to our stock price? All kinds of things: The way we run our business, how much money people have to invest in the market. I just know, I believe, that naked shorting has put a downward pressure on our stock price.

Teach a parrot the terms "supply and demand" and you've got an economist.

Creating whole departments of ethnic, gender, and other 'studies' was part of the price of academic peace. All too often, these 'studies' are about propaganda rather than serious education.
