I knew Pete when he was Secretary of Commerce. His views have grown as he has become more knowledgeable as have mine. But, he sees the vision that the United States needs to start paying its bills. And making hard decisions on paying down the National Debt & not meaning the current budget deficit. That also needs be a surplus not a deficit. The end game will be a disaster of our own making.

I do not think The Congress or Obama have the guts to actually tackle the problem. Both parties and Obama are willing to spend like drunk sailors (not fair to slight drunk sailors but it works). At the expense of the future of the nation and its people. ]]> Wed, 14 Oct 2009 23:11:45 -0400

There are many great low cost and low price stocks now. We who do not have much. Can make solid returns unlike anytime I have seen before. But, it is risky. And so only use what u do not mind losing.

Happy Trails

Orlando is close to both coasts. It has vast talent pool with more hotel rooms than anywhere depending on how we cound Vegas. Its cheap to own property and taxes are half of Virginia's.

DC Area is no bargin. Traffic is gross ! you try driving there with out a limo? Or does the head of Hilton only care about the executives. Look at personal taxes. NO INCOME TAX IN FL>>>>> BIG INCOME TAX IN MD AND VA.

Move to Central Florida. Blackstone already owns part of Universal Orlando. and LXR in Boca. We got the best airport ! Welcome Home ... Welcom to Central Florida.

Have a Magical Day ! (You know where I work...lol)]]> Sat, 24 Jan 2009 14:31:13 -0500

Keep dividends steady. It is steady and constant way to keep us family investors to add on regular basis.

Do not abandon the GE Money Bank concept in Philippines and other Asian nations. Cut out the bad boy image and poor credit card businesses. But, the GE Money Bank is gaining reputation in poor nations as place to: A) Learn how to have a checking ATM accont.
B) How to save. C) That GE - a USA company is SAFE and will treat the customer fair and good.

Its working overseas. We can cut salaries in CT at headquarters. Nobody needs more than $200,000 regardless of what they do. Who needs more than that to live on? So Cut salaries and the ones who do not want to build the company in the old ways. Fire them .

This applies to the board and GE regualrs too. NO Base pay over $200,000 period. Let them buy GE stock if they want dividends. lol]]> Sat, 24 Jan 2009 14:17:01 -0500

If homes are not between $85,000 and $125,000 (max). Then they are out of reach for normal working American's. The size or cost of square foot makes no difference ... Its final price that does. And most homes are out of reach of hourly working US Citizens. Its a shame on the American Dream. Taken away the hope we once had. ]]> Sun, 04 Jan 2009 09:56:32 -0500

These experts are wrong more than they are correct. Yet we or Media, calls them exerts. How dumb are we !

Without honor this nation as a republic is finished. Look at NYC and Washington. Franks and Reid and Dodd - they all took money from Fannie and Freddie. They refused legislation that could have curbed the credit crisis. But, they blocked the president's bill instead.

The people you elected to fix this problem - Helped to Cause the Problems. Its worse than a ficton writer. Cause most hard working American's and there are millions of us. Like me making $9.00/hr. Just got hours cut to 32 a week. We are still doing our best. While the Congress just gave themselves a $4,000 raise !

CONGRESS JUST GAVE THEMSEVES A RAISE - $4,000 +

AND YOU THINK THEY CARE ONE DITTY ABOUT NORMAL PEOPLE ?]]> Sat, 20 Dec 2008 17:41:34 -0500

$1,000,000,000,000 in outstanding ALT-A loans - Most will default if not yet
600,000,000,000 in outstanding Option ARM loans - about to hit deadline.

This on top of the 1 trillion in sub-prime. Andyou see end in sight in next year. Thats foolish talk. Like living in a dream world.

It can be fixed. We can let "primary" homeowners who live in home to stay. One of the reason they are in trouble is the ARM reset. Well the Fed has rates much lower then back then. Now reset to the FED prime and make it for 30 year fixed. No more f....ing with the poor homeowner and public.

Lets make real decisions. Fix real problems with real soutions.

There will not be medicare or drug benefits because there will not be any federal money to pay for this. Cut now, cut everywhere possible. Go back to as pure capitalism as possible.

China makes junk for us to buy because we contract with them to make stuff as cheap as possible. If we design and monitor better the products we wish to sell and as accept the cost will be more. Then China can make good stuff too. Japan went through this. Look at them today.

The Chinese and the PRC has been good partner so far. Our companies and theirs have had good working relationship. We need to build on that. Not tear it down.]]> Sat, 06 Dec 2008 13:42:49 -0500

Does heart have anything to do with business? Many like the rader would say no. But, I think we forget that the American Dream and American business component that foreigners do not and will never understand is: "Business is Personal" when it is it also has passion. Passion creates businesses that defy logic sometimes and have made the USA the success it has become.

Tony makes good question. The amounts we use in Wall Street Speak are in dollars. But, the ones used inside China are of course Chinese Yuan. (today 6.83 Yuan to 1 dollar). That means if well spent. they can get lots of action for their money. But, often the communist system waste as much money as it spends. Our govenment waste as much as theirs does. But, our system of building makes dollars or Yuan's go much further and work harder.

My plan will be work well with what China is doing at home. It will make the company a few extra billion. ]]> Sun, 16 Nov 2008 09:59:40 -0500
