      Russia's Too Risky - Barron's
      Sorry to have to say it, Alpha Seeker, but that sort of brain dead thinking (along with comensurate inactions) would only lead us to become further enslaved and more vulnerable-the russian government (the only real power there) is not our (the west's) friend nor it's peoples friend. It is essentially a dictatorship masquerading as a democracy, and some of our current problems have derived from choosing to think otherwise. Although it is certainly true that the current administration is both incompetant and fiscally irresponsible, I would hardly look to the naive softball approach of an obama or the democratic party establishment to rectify the situation. As for the size of our military, I think it's apparent (on the basis their own actions) that the both the chinese and russians don't think building strong militaries are a waste of money. In essense, the only thing that is keeping russia remotely in check in georgia is the knowledge that we (the USA), in coordination with our eastern european allies, can and will take appropriate measures. Appeals to civility alone have little effect on them. Wake Up!

      Should Citi Cut Its Dividend?
      Regardless of the hard number facts of the issue, C's payment of dividends has an important psychological function, because the average troubled investor, who has in most cases already experienced a significant loss, at least feels that he is getting something while he waits for a rebound. In addition, since C suggested, both before and after the previous cut, that they weren't going to, a second cut would only be interpreted, rightly or wrongly, as a further sign of desperation. I.E.- Don't do it!!
