Topic 1 - Risk vs Reward
I am surprised myself that Lindsey Lohan makes my blog, but urbanomically I 
have to say something. What oh what is this child doing and why doesn't someone get her some real help. Simply the risk here doesn't match the rewards. If Lindsay was a stock we'd issue a huge sell at this point. Like the stock market you invest in something that is reliable and will appreciate over time. Lohan is far from reliable and she is way to risky. What's unfortunate is this chick is out there still driving and could hurt herself and even worse innocent people out there on the streets. But remember in the stock market a company can keep going as long as it's got the cash to do business. So what do we recommend her at the Urb...pull the plug. Yes its time for all of the parties involved to pull the funds from behind this underperforming stock we know as Lohan. Movie deals, endorsements, product lines, etc need to pick up their tents and move on. Many people forgave the first incident but the second time was a slap in the face. There are outcries against another celebrity and corporate america is almost ready to pull the plug (Nike has put his shoe on hold & he has be ordered not to report to training camp)...yep you guessed it Michael Vick. How about pulling the plug on Lohan's new movie, ohhh wait there may be too much money involved. Time to treat all these raggedy stars the same and sell they hype!

Netflix just turned "R" rated. Yes ladies and gents, all you movies watchers probably knew this before I did but I didn't pay attention to the signs. How about the fact that my sister used to rent through Netflix, but I noticed recently a switch back to Blockbuster. Why, because Blockbuster decided to give the farm away and you can rent movies online, but return them to stores for a speedy drop off. Genius move right, not exactly...Blockbuster has to be bleeding cash to pull this strategy off. But until then Netflix will be under pressure because margins are probably razor thin (not to mention that the dummies don't charge you for shipping). And to top if off, Netflix's website was down for most of today...great move when your customers can only go to one place to ORDER movies.

I disagree with Topic 1. :-)
She is not too risky nor is she unreliable. "What!?", you may say.
Risky and reliability are (and should be) related to the money performance of the person or company.
So before you jump ship from Her or any other company the question to ask yourself is
1) Does the person/company still make money?
2) Will their actions affect future profits?
For Lindsey the answer is 1)Yes and 2)No.
Let's be honest with ourselves. She's a money maker. And second we have years and years of entertainer history that says what you do in your personal life does not affect your work life in a bad way. If anything this will boost Lindsey's prospects. People love to read about other people's struggles.
And people love to forgive entertainers. And they will with Lindsey. As long as what she produces is still A+ material. And it will be. Because Lindsey enterprise is not just one person. There are teams of people all making the Lindsey machine work.
Applying this to a stock... this is like a CEO that gets caught drunk driving. Would you sell the stock just because he/she can't hold their liquor? No way. You're going to evaluate the company not the person. As long as the company keeps turning a profit ,people could careless what the CEO is doing.
Lindsey is not different. She is an enterprise unto her own self.
