Bernanke Speaks, Stocks Fall

this may sound silly, but banks and the market do not care about defecit in the short term. the more money spent, wasted, etc the more the market will actually go up.

Make the dollar a worthy currency, hold the printing presses, create stability instead of short term boom and bust and the market will punish you.

My theory is that you will know a policy is effective it it drops the market. Just an idea, but I'd love some feedback. I can argue the point with examples. It's a joke, but it isn't.

Screening for Trends

the more you read from him the more you learn not to read. But, I am glad people are starting to catch on to the fact he is full of BS. Notice how he always appears to forget that he advised buying at the peak of bull and said google at a thousand was a great buy. only to watch it loose 2/3 of value.

ETF Family Attributes: Vanguard

I like their ETF's their investment philosophy is deeply flawed, therefore do expect any real investment advice.

Which Is Safer: Investment Grade Corporate Debt or Government Bonds?

All is market timing. stocks at the height of the recession, corporate (high grade) at the height of the credit crisis. We have bottomed in the credit portion of the cycle and now have the marcoeconomic effects on the real economy to deal with. you're behind the curve with bond mutual funds, but if you build your own portfolio in the secondary market you'll still do OK. Remember ZIRP produced a bond bubble in Japan,so be careful!!!!
