“The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”
Cicero – 55 BC

For the life of me I can’t imagine why anyone would own any airline stocks right now. No, they are not under valued. No, they are not over sold. There is a fundamental problem preventing airlines from performing well and their stock price reflects that.

I can’t remember a more challenging planning cycle in my adult life. I know I have not had a more difficult time planning for the coming business year since I have had to do this type of planning.

Almost two weeks ago I woke up with a sore throat. I thought it was because [...]
This is wonderful! This is the new reality.
The state of the airline industry is pitiful and he lament about he should’ve “gone by car” is becoming the rally call of many. There are many times now when before I would’ve considered flying but now I will just get in the car and drive. Simpler, saner [...]
That is an EXACT quote I received from a “customer service” representative this morning.
You are probably thinking, “So? You must’ve interrupted them.” You are right, I did, several times.
As Paul Harvey liked to say, “and now the rest of the story.”
Yesterday, in the mail, I received a new business VISA card to replace the one [...]
Over the last 18 months I have managed the rewrite of several software tools my partners and I use in our investing businesses. When we embarked on this journey we had very high hopes. We were going to outsource. The outsourcing firms give really GREAT interview, by the way.
Our list of “benefits” was long. We [...]
Last fall, I received an incredible offer from Chase. Because I was one of their “best customers”, meaning I had an Amazon credit card issued through them, I was being offered a fixed rate on an unsecured loan at a very low percentage rate.
