Pfizer Increases R&D Commitment in China [View article]
Makes sense! PFE sells more outside the US than in. Of Approx $12B in sales, $7B was outside the US. Depending on the healthcare bill tax provisions, more and more R&D may move offshore.

Buffett said he thought gov't did a good job. Already no to any gov't positions. The Chinese say you borrow money, get further in debt and want to tell us how to do things. The real problem is the IMF. It was originally started during WWII and all currency had to be on gold standard. ($35 US) They have reversed that position to the point that no currency can be on the gold standard
What an FDIC in the Red Means for U.S. Banks [View article]
Let's give money to the bad banks by going in debt with taxpayer money. The good banks get taxed by FDIC. All was caused by the gov't. Low rates, forced mortgage loans, and lax regs that allowed banks to be investment avenues. Here comes socialism.

I think they plan on paying it all back, just they started paying it back early. Ofcourse, only GM logic would say we lost $1.5B and that is better than $2.5B we lost last year. Balance sheet is fine so we'll start paying back early. Until they cut management salary and undo the union strangle hold, GM is doomed. The only thing they have done innovative was the Saturn and then they crushed it.

Few people have the time, energy or skill to pick good companies at the right price. For those that do, they should pick several to reduce risks. For those that don't, I suggest a low cost, low fee index fund.

Why Are Climate Change and Deficit Reduction Considered Mutually Exclusive? [View article]
Climate change is just another way that our gov't wants to control us. It was not that long ago climate change was the next coming of the ice age, the world was cooling. Now it is heating. It is all about controlling our lives. I doubt if the emerging countries are going to stop. Let's get facts not opinions that change with the winds. I suspect the sun has more effect than the methane gas from the cows. (EPA considered taxing cow gas). Get the gov't off our backs so we can get this economy growing again.

You don't really believe Dodd as a Class III Senator up for reelection has anything to do with his motives. His special treatment on his mortgage has nothing to do with his influence. Dodd has had a gov't job for nearly 50 years. Time for him to go.

The House bill surely will have a lot of political fallout come next November. The elections in NJ and Virginia should have been a wake up call. Let's see what the Senate does. Ofcourse, is healthcare more important than the 10.2% unemployment. What about the Cap & Tax. Healthcare is the third rail.
