How Can You Call Yourself A Republican!?!
That is what was blaring at me on the phone this morning from someone who really should know better. They were upset after reading this blog and my lack of enthusiasm for McCain as the Republican Presidential nominee.
“I don’t call myself a Republican. I call myself a father, an American, an investor, a mentor, a [...] Read more »
Candidate Summary
Unless something extraordinary happens this will be my last post on the current Presidential race train wreck.
As you can see from my opinion of the candidates in
Clinton
Obama
McCain
from an investor’s point of view there is just not much difference.
I am still inclined to abstain from voting for President and concentrate on making the best of the [...] Read more »
A Look At the Candidates - Part Three - John Sidney McCain III
John Sidney McCain III
He is probably the best known of the candidates running and certainly has the most extensive public record. He is undoubtedly a war hero. His book Flags of our Fathers is a great inspirational read for all ages and political leanings. He has the strongest stated position on the current war on [...] Read more »
A Look At the Candidates - Part Two - Barack Hussein Obama
Barack Hussein Obama
No, he is not a Muslim.
He is probably the least known of the candidates running. His supporters point to his book Audacity of Hope to learn more about him but his first book gives a much better view of him as a person and his views toward non-Blacks.
Like most Democrats, he sees government [...] Read more »
A Look At the Candidates - Part One - Hillary Rodham Clinton
Hillary Rodham
I truly believe after she is elected, she will choose to be known as President Rodham. Just a suspicion, but it doesn’t really have anything to do with this discussion. I am only talking about her from an investing point of view. I am interested in a Commander In Chief’s ability to protect this [...] Read more »
I Can’t Sort It Out!
That is the subject of an email message I received this morning. It was from a new investor who is over-whelmed by the information dump that happens daily.
“No matter how hard I try I can’t sort this stuff out. Some say things are bad, some say things are fine. Some say the stock market is [...] Read more »
Super Tuesday - Did You Vote?
This Presidential election cycle is unique in many ways. Not the least of which is its uninspiring dullness.
Today is likely to determine who will be the nominee for both parties. Yes, there will be a little jockeying here and there but basically it will be finished.
So, get out there and vote for who you really [...] Read more »
The CaseyHaterz Just Don’t Get It - Casey Is Still Not Going to Jail.
The secretive members over at caseyhaterz.com are all a-twitter over the latest investigation by the FBI into mortgage fraud.
They are speculating about whether Casey will finally be arrested and as they are so fond of saying, “do the perp walk”.
Yes, they are investigating fourteen companies over the fraud in the sub-prime meltdown. But, they are [...] Read more »
Sorry, But Flight Depends on Air Speed, not Ground Speed.

STILL MORE FROM THE AIRPLANE ON THE TREADMILL THINGY
You just can’t believe some of the amazingly stupid email I’ve been receiving from true pedigreed idiots over this airplane-on-a-treadmill bit.
OK .. now put away all rational thought. Try to imagine that you are absurdly ignorant and that you haven’t had a rational [...] Read more »
US Non-Farm Payrolls Shrank by 17,000 Jobs in January.
That is the first time in over 4 and a half years the number of non-farm jobs in the US has declined and it was totally unexpected by the pundits.
But, wait, there’s more! as they might say…
Wages also fell during that time. That is actually good news because it signals inflation pressure may ease in [...] Read more »
