2008 Presidential Debate Number 3 Preview

by

I apologize that I will not be available to provide live comments during the debate tonight. I will be on the road and unable to blog during the debate, but I will be listening. There will be an open thread entry that will appear at 8:30 PM Eastern time for those of you that wish to offer comments during the debate. Please come join us, and perhaps some of the other TCR writers will be here to comment. I expect that after 2 other rather lack-luster events, we can probably expect[...]

Government Intervention

by

One of the reasons the Dow Industrials index rose 936 points and the broader indices rose more than 11% in one day was because on a global scale governments decided to inject capital into banks and financial institutions.  As I read today’s Wall Street Journal,...
Are Things Looking Up?

Are Things Looking Up?

by

The Dow had it's record highest point gain today up almost 940. Although it was up a bit today, Oil prices have been retreating and have been steadily below $90/bbl for several days. And have you noticed the price of gasoline has also been declining? Of course, we all know it's not over yet, but it's good to see some positive signs. Unfortunately, the price of diesel fuel has not come down with trhe price of gasoline, apparently due to supply issues worldwide. And this will keep the price of consumer goods general higher. Seems like[...]
Books For Soldiers Needs You NOW!

Books For Soldiers Needs You NOW!

by

Just a little more than two weeks and it's over! Not the General Election, but the existence of Books For Soldiers. These folks have been providing books and videos for our soldiers for several years now, and for lack of $17,500 raised by October 31, they will have to close their doors come December 31. We talked about this back in May, and a lot of progress has been made, but the work is not done! We cannot let this happen! This organization has the process down cold, they have great creds and do a super job. Thousands of soldiers have been served by BFS. Won't you please act now? Go to this link and make a donation now. If every visitor to this site this coming weeks makes a $50 donation, the money would be completely raised. I donated a few months ago, and will again this week... won't you? You know how I think about our men women in uniform... they are the line that protects us from our enemies, and they are our best friends. They serve us night and day, risking their very lives, without asking for anything in return. Let's take this opportunity to serve them back!
The Pinhead Factor

The Pinhead Factor

by

An anonymous writer at The Real Sporer Tuesday night made an interesting observation that I think we should not only understand but build an action plan upon. At the end of the second Presidential Debate there were a few trailing comments at Ted's site (including one from yours truly), and the final one at about 12:20 AM stated:
I feel like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. Instead of repeating "there's no place like home, there's no place like home" I find myself repeating "Maybe democrats aren't so bad, maybe[...]

Obama vs McCain

These are interesting times.  I can’t believe America is considering the following resume to be leader of the free world. National experience:  143 days Executive experience:  none Administrative experience:  none Foreign Policy experience:  none Economic...
So What is the Relationship of Obama And the Kenyan Thug, Odinga?

So What is the Relationship of Obama And the Kenyan Thug, Odinga?

by

Sen. Barack Obama designated a personal aide as his direct contact for the 2007 Kenyan presidential campaign of Raila Odinga, who later was appointed prime minister after his election loss was followed by widespread, deadly violence that destroyed or damaged 800 Christian churches, according to e-mails obtained by WND senior staff writer Jerry Corsi during a trip to Kenya.

That’s only the beginning of a startling report from World Net Daily, and it’s the very beginning of the tale of why Jerome Corsi was arrested and deported by Kenyan officials. It amounts to the idea that Corsi was uncovering rather a lot of facts that will expose[...]
Good News – Bad News: Wachovia And The Market

Good News – Bad News: Wachovia And The Market

by

At least good news for taxpayers... CitiGroup has backed out of talks for Wachovia leaving the entire deal for Wells Fargo. I'm guessing that after more of the depth of bad debt came to light, it became more and more obvious that the deal just was not longer going to be in the best interest of CitiGroup's stockholders. That was the good news, as long as...

A good read

by

Two Great Stories - BOTH TRUE - and worth reading! STORY NUMBER ONE Many years ago, Al Capone virtually owned Chicago . Capone wasn't famous for anything heroic. He was notorious for enmeshing the windy city in everything from bootlegged booze and prostitution to murder. Capone had a lawyer nicknamed "Easy Eddie." He was his lawyer for a good reason. Eddie was very good! In fact, Eddie's skill at legal maneuvering kept Big Al out of jail for a long time. To show his appreciation, Capone paid him very well. Not only was the money big, but also, Eddie got special dividends. For instance, he and his family occupied a fenced-in mansion with live-in help and all of the conveniences of the day The estate was so large that it filled an entire Chicago City block. Eddie lived the high life of the Chicago mob and ...

Panic

My mother called me this morning.  “I’ve been worried about you.  Are you okay?”, she asked. I told her that I was fine; that you only lose when you sell.  Which got me thinking…What rules should investors employ in this market? You only lose...
