Has President Obama's Mortgage Modification Plan Failed?

The fundamental problem, as it is in all of the Marxists' plans, is that they are discovering all manner of new "rights" -- and the "right" to "own" your own home is just one of a long list.

You cannot charge someone to exercise their "rights".

FCC's Sternly Worded Letter to Apple

> "While I am a free market guy, the hording of wireless licenses by four dominant wireless carriers makes regulation of those licenses essential and the FCC is doing what should have been done years ago."

How long before a studious judge pores thoughtfully over the Constitution and discovers a "right" to own an iPhone and to have the maximum technologically feasible bandwidth, all for free?

Amazon's Kindle DX: Hands-On Review

The enhanced pdf capability alone motivated me to order. However, it is not clear from this article that the cut or copy and paste, highlighting, annotating, and text-to-speech do NOT work in the PDF format on this.

About what I paid for the last Apple II+ sold in my neck of the woods around that time. I no sooner had it all put together when it became obsolete, superseded by the //e. Wish I'd put the money into AAPL instead of that stupid-ass computer which long since went to that toxic waste dump down the road...

E*Trade: A Bet Worth Making

This is somewhat of a non-sequitur, but I am currently an eTrade account holder / customer. I did not choose eTrade.

I chose a different company whose name I don't even recall, which was acquired by another company whose name don't recall. I don't even recall how many different companies have held my accounts over the years. I do know that CFSB was one of those companies.

The thing that angered me was that the records weren't carried over between companies during murders and acquisition. The funds and securities made the switch, but the transaction histories and trade confirmations did not. When in later years I sold a stock, it became my responsibility to try to find out my cost basis.

It looks like I'll be going through that exercise again as my accounts are switched, willy-nilly, into another brokerage. The next one will probably use tax money to acquire eTrade -- and this adds insult to injury.

I wish there were a way to assess the potential stability of a brokerage house. Of course, if there were, we probably would all use discount brokers.

As Yogi Berra once said, however, predictions are difficult, especially about the future.

> Housing sales are rising where the prices are low. In addition, the $15,000 tax credit for homebuyers might help spark a housing recovery.

Please excuse my cynicism, but I see the net effect of this "tax credit" as increasing the asking price of homes currently on the market by about $15,000 each.
