Wed, 23 Sep 2009 09:13:28 -0400

Hey, maybe Argentina can take some good solid financial advice from Chavez. Isn't socialism the key to economic stability?

Expect a Decline in Global Saving and Investment

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 09:10:40 -0400

The U.S. housing market will eventually rebound. I see no reason to extrapolate doom & gloom based on speculation.

Homes at Risk: A Grim Picture

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 12:54:01 -0400

We're partly at fault - with our hyper-consumption lifestyle. Perhaps the silver lining in all of this is that it will teach us lessons in frugality.

Dead Banks Walking

Dave,

When it's an individual it's grand larceny. When the banks do it, it's called "business". LOL

Today in Commodities

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 12:50:52 -0400

Unfortunately Mr. Obama sees health care as a commodity. And if that continues, we're all sunk.

Why Apple's iTouch Tablet Will Become Its Flagship Product

Sat, 25 Jul 2009 10:19:54 -0400

Nice article. But the Origami project (which is the same thing) never caught on. I wonder why they think this will be any different.

Personally I like the idea of a miniature tablet. iPhone/Palm/whatever is too small to be functional for any kind of productivity. They're cute & fun, but you can't do business with them. Blackberries are great for communication, but again, try doing word processing, spreadsheets, databases, etc...with them.

Six Signs Economy Is Turning the Corner

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 10:27:31 -0400

I remain highly skeptical of recovery occuring any time soon. The Fed is on a tax & spend warpath. How much "recovery" can possibly occur when Count Taxula in Washington is committed to sticking it to businesses?

Is the U.S. Dollar the Fed's Next Weapon?

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 10:25:19 -0400

The dollar is a pretty weak "weapon" don't you think? Perhaps we should print another trillion ( out of thin air). It's done wonders to devalue our "weapon" so far, 'eh?

Free Content: Google's Achilles' Heel?

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 10:20:48 -0400

Criticize them all you want. Meanwhile you can't laugh at success. Whatever they're doing, it's obviously working.

Media Companies Will Need to Recalibrate Ad Models Post-Recovery
