Ernie is a retired guy who has dabble in stocks for decades. He's seen enough ups and downs to not be enamored by any long term stock, and is interested in yield and value, not spin and glitter. He also has seen so much hype and so many lies by both government and business that he believes almost nothing from either. He also believes the only thing you can count on in this world is government induced inflation, and tax evasion by the wealthy.
Oaklamd follies This is the image of Homie, the friendly Pit Bull. He's a perfect metaphor for the market. He comes with a big smile and lots of teeth.
