  • Sen. Rand Paul (R, Ky.) admits his recently introduced budget-cut legislation may seem extreme to some, but he sees axing $500B in spending in a single year as 'a necessary first step toward ending our fiscal crisis.' (Read Paul's WSJ op-ed)  [View news story]
    As long as entitlements are off the table....Rand Paul is just
    another politician....58% of the people over 65 in Kentucky,,,voted for Rand Paul...
    he is just protecting his constituency...Kentucky recieves 1.51 for every dollar it pays in taxes....to put it bluntly...Rand Paul is a fraud....

  • Poor stock performance and sentiment combined with attractively priced equities means we may be in a contrarian's dream scenario; does that mean it's time to get in?  [View news story]
    "everything is basically priced to perfection"

    S&P 500 TTM GAAP Earnings Yield today...5.96%
    Moody's BAA Yield 5.76%

    Hardly priced to perfection..TTM means trailing...there are 2 pretty
    nasty quarters incorporated in those numbers which could be surpassed easily in upcoming current quarter and 4th quarter plus
    using GAAP accounting means you are including a lot of stuff you
    aren't going to see again,,,,
