    Is anyone here subscribed to Dan Zanger's site?

    C'mon! Quarterly membership is $219. If your site was even half way successful, you'd be making a few hundred k per year and you're telling me you can't afford $219 so you can sue someone supposedly stealing your stock tips?!? Sounds like someone hoping for pm's to me...

    The Four Horsemen

    The Republicans did their best to hamstring the economy. But it's looking the Democrats want to completely kill it off with 1) increasing taxation, 2) raising energy costs, 3) increased unionization and 4) universal health care. Do you think they can really do it...

    Trends for the Next Decade

    Nice summary article/interview but nothing really new there. Everybody is waiting to see if ALT-A and the commercial real estate sectors will now collapse and how extensive the bank failures will be. In the meantime, get ready for the great oscillating market...

    Trends for the Next Decade

    I agree with just about everything you said, but I would add a) TIPS will be weak because let's face it: the government estimate for CPI is understating true inflation. b) There is a risk in real estate unless you can be substantially in cash: your investment may dip below equity putting...

    Trends for the Next Decade

    I agree that the article went to far. I actually don't think you can blame China for any of that except pegging their currency to the dollar. That, I think, has had very negative consequences for the U.S. and for the globe. I would also argue that it is in their own beset interests not to...

    Trends for the Next Decade

    I'm going to try to get back to the intellectual side - wish me luck. One big problem: some BRIC's are cancelling infrastructure orders due to inflation and slowing global demand and the need to not let the poor starve. So we are now commodities and currencies shift but you may also...

    Intelligent Design is not creationism

    Actually, it's an interesting story: Collins became a believer from the writings of CS Lewis. His book, Language of God, is a very interesting read. He has excellent proofs of evolution btw. Here's the new problem for basing materialism on evolution: Simon Conway Morris has shown that...

    #1 Manufacturer

    Few people realize that the U.S. is the world's #1 manufacturer by far and will stay that way for a long time per a recent Fin. Times article: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/bccc155a-6c75-11dd-96dc-0000779fd18c.html?nclick_check=1 American industry can stay ahead of China By John Engler...

    Emerging Market Inflation

    The China and India stock markets tanked and Brazil came after. Because Brazil is so commodity driven, Brazil actually was somewhat de-coupled from these two BRIC countries. For example, if you look at EWZ (Brazil's ETF) it double peaked in mid May and about Jun 1 and then headed down about...
