http://thebusinessrelocationcoach.blogspot.com/2011/06/calif-business-departures-increasing.html http://thebusinessrelocationcoach.blogspot.com/ Businesses have been leaving California. In our area, I know of three companies that have moved away. One went to Utah and the other two moved to...

A year ago the Dutch Finance Minister often spoke out against the FTT, then he suddenly went silent.

You're right. Perhaps we should assume that politicans will do the opposite of what's logical. For example, the Netherlands has commissioned two FTT studies, one from the Ministry of Economic Affairs and one from the Dutch Central Bank. Both studies have been very negative on the FTT, even...

Two weeks ago the Finnish PM said he wouldn't support the FTT unless Sweden and the UK were included. The endless double-speak and mind changing on this issue is ridiculous.

You can believe Wikipedia. I'll believe Jane's Defense Weekly.

Israel has hundreds of nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles with a 2,500 mile range and cruise missiles with up to a 1,000 mile range. The Israeli air force can deliver nuclear weapons to the Iranian capital just by getting within one thousand miles of Tehran and releasing cruise missiles...

There's no way to know what Obama's approval rating will be, or anything else, nine months from now. Things can change dramatically in a week, a month or nine months. The first President Bush had approval ratings of 80% after Desert Storm. A year later his approval ratings had fallen to under...

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/behind-the-numbers/2008/10/reagans_comeback.html There is a published Gallup poll not included in that report showing Carter up six among likely voters in a poll conducted Oct. 24 to 27. Polls can change a lot over the next ten months.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I never said anything about drones. Israel's nuclear weapons are launched via missiles (from land, submarines or surface ships at sea) or dropped from airplanes. Maybe where you come from missiles and airplanes are science fiction, but most people accept...

I agree that Obama is the likely winner, but keep in mind that many polls showed Jimmy Carter with a 6 point lead over Reagan just one week before the 1980 election.

Some will. It's inevitable. It's hard for politicians to say no to something when 70% of the population wants it, no matter how destructive it might be. Once this new report comes out, the unions and Robbin Hoodies will be posting it on all their websites and using it to pressure the...

The Iranians are crazy, but they're not stupid. They won't attack Israel first. It's no secret that Israel keeps a large part of their nuclear arsenal on submarines, disguised ships at sea, aircraft in the air and other locations outside of Israel. Even if Iran launched a successful attack...

The ignorance of these people is beyond words, and the journalists who should be keeping them honest have now become co-conspirators. They promote the FTT as a tax on the financial industry and then hold up the British stamp duty as an example. They have no idea that all UK banks, investment...

I have to give the "smart homeowner" credit to my wife. Twenty years ago she scoured the area for months looking for the lowest priced home in a highly desirable location, then insisted we pay for it with a 15 year mortgage.

We bought our home in 1992. At the peak the of the market in 2007 it was worth almost ten times what we paid for it. It's still worth about seven times our purchase price and the mortgage is paid off. I wasn't complaining, just stating the facts.

A couple of years ago I had high blood pressure, very high cholesterol and was cruising for a stroke or heart attack. I eliminated all processed foods and lived on a diet of fresh fruits, vegetables, some nuts and seeds and some lean protein. Within a year, my entire health profile changed. My...

It's southern california... prices are high even after dropping 30% from the 2007 peak. It's crazy.

I live about 30 miles from the San Onofre nuclear power station. We've lived here for almost 20 years and there have been a few times where they shut down one of the reactors for a couple of weeks, then start back up again without further explanation. The California government is corrupt to...

Obama is likely win re-election easily. Incumbent presidents get re-elected 70% of the time overall, and virtually 100% of the time when the public's perception of the economy is good, or at least that it's improving. If the economic numbers (particularly employment) continue to improve...

Many of the traders here probably aren't experienced enough to recognize this for what it is -- great advice about the mental game. I rank this right up there with Henry Ford: "Whether you think you can or think you can't, either way you'll be right." When I started trading in 1992 I had...
