Obama's Speech: The 'Vision Thing' vs. The Devil in the Details

I think the criticism to the detail was not well placed. The important part was the vision and the emphasis on accountability and transparency. From here we will be able to better see what devil may be contained. I think everyone has an opinion and that is great but no one is accountable. I can follow an Obama speech without being embarrassed for America. For me that is inspiring. So for those who wanted to see the spending plan to a detailed level for 700 BILLION dollars in a one hour speech you may be part of the problem rather than part of solution.

The Reign of Uncertainty in Financial Markets

Yuman, this is a good point. Market's are efficient, however, I am wondering over what period of time are they efficient.

Perhaps efficiency refers to a more pure form of capitalism.

International ETF Update: China, India

You didn't mention FNI which is a blend of China and India could be a good play for a diversified approach. I am not sure how great the Olympics are going to be for China. I think whatever little it may do will be offset by a struggling U.S. economy. But then again as we have less disposable income our preference my be the "value" oriented (pardon the pun) products produced by China.
