What Are Some of the Best Hedge Fund Managers Doing?

Aren't these positions as of September 30? A lot can change in nearly two months time.

Who Benefits When the Fed Floods the System with Liquidity?

There are 3 choices:
1. Raise taxes to cover expenditures.
2. Cut expenditures to fit in tax revenues.
3. Spend more than your tax revenue and borrow the difference.

Which one we as a nation have been doing, not just for years but for decades, is obvious to all. It has accelerated in recent decades:
* When Reagan took office, our national debt was $1 trillion.
* When Bush I left office 12 years later, it was $5 trillion.
* In Clinton's 8 years, it rose to $6 trillion.
* By the time Bush II leaves office, it will be at or close to $10 trillion.

An honest solution: Congress and the President decide how much to spend, and the federal income tax rates are automatically indexed up or down to produce a balanced budget (and maybe even pay back a little of that debt).
