Opinion On “Buy, Sell, Fret: Average Investors Swing into Action”
I bought a bunch of shorts last year and took a drubbing by January. I decided that the market was too fixed to buy and hold, short or long and began reading the night before and buying or selling either at the opening a franchise or shortly after. If it were not for the huge gaps up and down at the opening this strategy would be considerably easier to execute properly. However, I have recovered Read More...
My Take On “SAT, ACT, Admissions Costs, Tutor Costs: The College Frenzy”
This goes to show to prepare for an interview, the value of education isn't valued.
These parents pay 30k/year per child for a high school education and their children still need help on an SAT?
What were you buying in those 4 years?
Prestige?
Cocktail party fodder?
Me too status?
You bought an education but did you review your children's absorption of the material or their appreciation for Read More...
My View On “Noonan: It’s Off to the Races”
What does it say about the GOP when the most promising Republicans do not want to run in 2012 tax brackets?
The GOP has taken it for granted that it will represent the Right in their Convention in 2012. There is a reasonable chance of the Tea Party having their own Ticket for 2012 which would all but doom the GOP's chances to win the White House.
With such possibilities and Americans finally Read More...
Views On “Pope’s Wooing of Anglicans Challenges Archbishop”
The timing by the Pope is very interesting. I have been an Epicopalian for over 30 years. This fall my wife and I decided to become Roman Catholics. We are Orthodox in our religious views and no longer felt comfortable in the Episcopal Church. It is very interesting that in our RCIA class 5 of the12 participants are Episcopalians; anecdotal data but clearly not a good sign for the Episcopal Read More...
Analysis On “Obama Tries to Rewrite Narrative on Jobs”
Obama didnt have a good narrative in 2008 he had the press cheerleading him in a sycophantic way that was truly disgusting. Even with that he only won 52% of the vote. Now he has proven to be completely incompetent and it shows. It isnt marketing, its bad policy. The payroll tax reduction does nothing to stimulate the economy and it doesnt effect the most productive in society. Finally, a Read More...
A Response To “Two Killed in Virginia Tech Shooting”
reply how to break up with your boyfriend Robert Jones 5hours ago
This is a paper where calling Obama a Marxist is considered an intelligent comment and you want references? Look it up its easy enough. Add in at least another hundred thousand for suicides. Being shot by a criminal is very rare. If you are going to be shot it will by by your friend, your relative, your boyfriend, your ex husband Read More...
A Commentary On “White House, Boehner Zero In on Major Deal”
As a new worker for our huge credit card consolidation card company, Obama got his no-annual-fee credit card as an employee perc. But being a manic klepto-spender, taking from some for distribution to others, he soon ran up his card borrowings to the point where he is hardly able to pay the interest on his continuing negative balance, and he needs to borrow more periodically just to cover Read More...
My Take On “Time Warner Cable Sees Opportunity in ‘Single Play’ Broadband Business”
TWC should focus on fixing its terrible digital cable service. In particular, the remote controls either don't work or have a serious lag effect. Video on Demand works 50% of the time - at best. Their attempts to make fast forwarding and reversing easier (by not starting up a business to play when you hit play, but by assuming you missed your chance and actually starting play a few seconds Read More...
Criticism On “Blame the Victim”
The owner and staff of the WSJ know that perception is everything! It is ultimately the basis of financial transactions and the basis of human response and reaction. If one can job change perception of X, one can change the response to X. Try this in a psychology lab, try it with rats and and try it with humans. Try it on Madison Avenue and then try it on television, the game is the same Read More...
A Commentary On “AARP Pivots on Social Security Benefit Cut”
Should need a job now 22 year old who just started working really be paying your benefits when those same benefits won't be there for them? You had 43 years to plan for retirement... you're basically suggesting that people today do what you failed to and then some which is save for themselves and continue funding your retirement that they will never see. We should be doing what they do in Read More...
