As you can probably tell I know nothing of how businesses are run but I am keen to learn.

Example: Say I own a little gardening firm, with 5 of us working from two vans ('Alpha Gardeners,'). After a while we 've got enough money to buy out our local competitors ('Bravo Gardeners'). How does it work? Do I offer the rival boss a lump sum to take over his firm?

If so, can Bravo Gardeners carry on trading under that name, with the original staff and vans, or do I buy them new Alpha Gardeners equipment? Do the two simply get treated as one company regardless of what they call themselves, seeing as they now have a singular owner?

Thanks!

Yeah, I ordered my shoes from Pickyourshoes.com (legit) on Thursday (7:00pm). I bought 2day shipping, so evidently they ship today. It's 3:30 as of right now and I still dont have them at my doorstop. Their warehouse is in California, but I'm here in Michigan anxiously waiting because I need them for my game.

My question is, do shoes ship exactly on the time (48 hours, so they would arrive at 7 today) or do they usually come a few hours before\after the designated time (7 o'clock)?

Thanks.

I'm doing some research on ethical investing...I'm looking for information on companies (lists, etc...) that are unethical in one form or another (i.e. vices like tobacco or booze, environmental offenders, sweatshops, extreme greed,etc...). I'd appreciate any suggested offenders names, or weblinks or lists. Thanks

I see that Fox News is going to start a new 'Business Channel' soon.
Wouldn't Kudlow feel right at home with these types? He is just as narrow-minded as most of them.

Walmart is by far the best place to shop when it comes to prices, but why is their return lines so packed with people? Could the quality of their products really be bad. I want to know what you think of walmart and the reasons people return the already low priced items they buy from there.

Found a fake £1 coin with the rest of mine when I Was looking at all the designs. Its a scottish rampant lion one with 'DECUS ET TUTAMEN' stamped poorly and off centered round the side (the wrong writing as well should say 'NEMO ME IMPUNE LACESSIT'). Its heavier and also the head side is stamped on off center. What do I do with it?
