      As mentioned by BS, there is plenty of blame to go around. I am still waiting for Democrats in Congress to shoulder their fair share in regards to the present financial challenges we face as a nation. Oct 06 12:04 PM

    • Sweden Maintains Surplus, Cuts Taxes [view article]
      It sure is easier for a country without third world urban areas to support, isn't it. We should be envious. Sep 24 03:04 PM

      Misleading. Acceptance of this lenghty piece means that you can indeed baffle folks with B.S. Sep 23 11:04 PM

      Your observation is correct. But this time it may be different. Sep 22 10:17 AM
    • Obama or McCain: Who’s Better for Healthcare Investors? [view article]
      Good article. May I insert that it matters not what the health care plan is if the President has neither the will, courage or experience to defend the country and our vital national interests. Sep 14 12:36 PM
    • Regional Banks: Sensible Choice For Shifting Financial Landscape [view article]
      The stocks have been researched and a longer term, speculative viewpoint was established. One can find dividends much higher than the stocks listed, but the risk/reward is suspect at best. Astute investors know the difference. Sep 10 02:07 PM
    • The Georgian Crisis: Impact on ETFs? [view article]
      Russia being Russia. I know we are all interested in making $$$, but there are times when standing up against a despot who allows companies into Russia to assist with development and infrastructure and then boots them out at his pleasure - and then attacks the first of what my be several independent former Soviet Union states using brute intimidation- should receive a few not-so-gentle kicks in the groin.

      Courage, anyone? Or do we look away and count our pocket change.

      Good article. I agree with topax. Corrruption in that region is a way of life. If you are an infidel, assume the worst. Jul 25 10:50 AM

    • IndyMac Failure: How Much Trouble Is Sen. Schumer In? [view article]
      How can you prosecute a politician for being a horse's ass? Chuckie has been doing this BIG MOUTH routine for years. Makes the late Jackie Gleason sound like an introverted mumbler. Jul 12 07:50 PM
    • The Disastrous Future of the U.S. [view article]
      The largest disaster in our country is the public school system along with the Stalinist teacher unions. We can insure out way out of property losses. We cannot fund our way out of ignorance.

      I appreciate your efforts on this topic, but perhaps your data is too compressed in time. I prefer to see cycles of at least twenty-five years or more. A century is even better.
