        <![CDATA[I thought I replied to this earlier today but apparently my reply disappeared. Thank you so much for taking time to shed more light on this controversial subject. You remind methat there are usually two sides to most stories. <br/><br/>For those of us who are not medically trained, Mr. Brill's article was quite startling. I guess it would be better if the medical staff were receiving those outlandish salaries and bonuses that the &quot;non-profit&quot; administrator's were shown to be receiving (assume those were true). Thanks again.]]>

This past year the portfolio was up about 45% with dividends included.  It has been covered the past few years by the Wall Street Journal.

        <![CDATA[We should add that we found it quite unusual that no other Investment Banker selected even one of our selections in 2012 even though all were very large companies. I think only two were down for for the year and the worst was a little over 2% down. I don't have the final list in front of me with the scores so not positive of that.<br/><br/>Barron's did select Seagate as you can see above.  Good that 4 of the firms did better than  the major indices!  <br/><br/>Thanks to Dark-Liquidity for your effort in publishing the results all year.]]>

        <![CDATA[Thanks for nice comments on Sabrient Systems. The good news is that Sabrient was approached by a major fund sponsor to form a Unit Investment Trust from this years Baker's Dozen. It should be released very soon. At that time the list will be public information. Unfortunately KKR cannot appear in a Unit Investment Trust due to being a partnership. A UIT requires corporations. However KKR was rated quite high.]]>

        <![CDATA[At least we are thinking.  But there must be specific plans to take us  from chaos to the continued rebuilding of our economy.  There is no simple &quot;wave of hand solution&quot;.  We must find a middle of the road solution.  We must reduce spending.  We must tax more fairly.  Anyone who has ever been in government or observed it carefully knows that there are immense boondoggle spending programs.  There are gross inefficiencies.  And the tax program is filled with loopholes and too little tax on the very wealthy.  Both parties are too blame for their weak rhetoric and lack of specificity.  The clock is ticking.  No serious economist really thinks we can follow this fiscal cliff with its extreme mandates without resuming the recession which will be much more painful than 2008.]]>

        <![CDATA[Thanks for the comment but clearly the private sector has not learned much since 2008.  The Europe crisis, JPM's Whale trade, the LIBOR issue, Knight Trading, MSF, etc all show that self regulations has NOT evolved from 2008.  Nothing comparable to the controls implemented after 1987.  The shock of 1987 brought sweeping reform both from the regulatory side but from much more effective self regulation.  Where has that common sense gone in the past 25 years?  ]]>

      <title>What The Market Wants: Continue The Consistency</title>

        <![CDATA[I don't think we are looking at this economic landscape the same way. My point the past few issues have been that virtually all countries were facing difficulties or even a serious crisis. The markets had sold-off in more than an appropriate manner. In the last two weeks issues which Seeking Alpha editors chose not to publish, I tried to clarify how domestic valuations had fallen nearly to March 2009 levels (the lowest in recent years). Our conclusion was there were few if any serious options to equities.   Fixed income risk/reward is very poor, real estate low but rebounding very slowly and precious metals near historic highs. So there was a need for solutions to the difficulties or crises . <br/> <br/>Voila, we got the European summit solution which of course must still play out and equities would move closer to moderate levels.  That is what is happening.  Of course we need more.  We need our congress to become less polarized.   We need leadership from our President or our Fed or our congress.  The midesast needs many resolutions.  China growth slowing needs to turn around but if or as soltions develop, equities will return to at least average levels.  Hopefully this make sense.  <br/> <br/>You can read missing issues free at Sabrient .com, &quot;What the Market Wants&quot;.]]>
