With an over-leveraged economy, falling real estate prices, a weakening dollar, failing banks, ponzi schemes, and new taxes on the horizon, that leaves a lot of room to get kicked in the shorts.]]> Sat, 24 Oct 2009 10:24:41 -0400

I have some friends visiting from England. They've been driving diesel vehicles for years and get upwards of 50+ mpg. Diesels can also "turn the clock" three times. That means the odometer resets 3 times! No problems starting in cold weather either. When they asked me the other day why the US hasn't shifted their energy policy in this (or any) direction that is more constructive, I don't have an answer. It's a very sad reflection of a schizophrenic energy policy controlled by special interests. Instead of forward thinking, everything is ass-backwards. ]]> Sat, 03 Oct 2009 11:18:48 -0400

It's a brave new world. I have taken a few other steps - roughly 3-5% gold, and another 10% in monthly fixed income stocks, or mlp's. Looking at the current deficit, as the nation ages I believe income from a variety of sources will become more & more important.]]> Fri, 11 Sep 2009 09:15:27 -0400
