That's great. Tell it to the guy who's depending on his 401k for retirement. Because I'm pretty sure he can't cherry pick individual stocks through that particular investment vehicle.]]> Sun, 22 Nov 2009 12:13:33 -0500

Otherwise, I agree with your basic conclusion.

I'm 100% out of equities. The fundamentals and medium term outlook simply don't support the run up in price.]]> Sun, 22 Nov 2009 11:51:04 -0500

If you're smart enough to do this, aren't you smart enough to ignore what the "big money" is doing and just focus on your own research and analysis?]]> Sat, 23 May 2009 01:40:44 -0400

Not with The One in office. Now every data point must be spun, spun, spun to the positive side by his adoring media buttboys.

BTW, why are we even talking about this? Have you seen Michelle's arms? They're so TONED!!! ]]> Sun, 10 May 2009 00:20:39 -0400

Forget the rhetoric - everyone is getting a stealth tax increase. Uhhhhhbama already stuck it to the poor by whacking them with a 65 cents a pack tax increase on cigarettes.

Who mostly smokes cigarettes? Lower income folks.

Look, in the end its pretty simple. There are too many smart people in this country who make a lot of money without producing anything. Bean counters, money shufflers, lawyers...etc.

American business is hamstrung by onerous regulation. The producers are being crushed by the welfare leeches, bureaucratic waste, government corruption, and the socialization of corporate losses.

This system is not sustainable. ]]> Mon, 26 Jan 2009 11:13:38 -0500

In the early 70's, my parents moved to a new town and applied for a mortgage to buy a home. They almost didn't get the loan because the people at the local bank "didn't know them."

We've sure come a long way. And not for the better.

On Saturday, I called Chase to ask them to remove a bogus late fee on my credit card. They refused. I literally laughed at the customer service rep and told her to go to lend to some deadbeat and cancelled my account of 12 years.

I'm exactly the kind of customer these people want - I live beneath my means, have low debt/income, and ahve excellent credit. It took me no more than 5 minutes to apply and get approval online with another issuer.

These idiots still haven't learned the lesson.
