The Dow closes above 10,000 today. Why?

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above 10,000 today.  Why?

Has the economy gotten better?

Are companies suddenly more productive?

Or could it be that the value of the dollar has gone down so much that prices have gone up?

Several countries have talked about moving away from the dollar as the world’s standard currency.  The only problem with countries doing that is those who want to move away from the dollar have lots of them.  So, how can they move away from the dollar as the standard without being left holding lots of dollars that have suddenly lost value?  Simple, spend those dollars before they lose their value.

How can you spend lots of dollars?  Invest in the stock market. Of course, that would drive the prices up, but at least they would have something of value (our companies).

I hope I am wrong.

Obama lied, will people die?

Monday, April 20th, 2009

President Obama recently declassified documents giving away “details of intelligence gathering techniques”.  Those who use the “details of intelligence gathering techniques” are told that giving away or selling “details of intelligence gathering techniques” will get you 20 years at Ft Leavenworth making big rocks into little rocks (a.k.a “hard labor”).

Dick Cheaney says Obama lied when he said these techniques were not effective.  He noted that Obama didn’t declassify the reports showing they were effective.

When you divulge an intelligence gathering technique, you ensure that it won’t ever be an effective way of gathering intelligence again.  Will people die because of this?

Well done!

Why didn’t the Arab League call for a Cease Fire when Hamas was firing thousands of rockets into Israel before Israel decided to stop the rockets by destroying Hamas’ ability to attack Israel?

Where are the people who told us that there would be peace if Israel withdrew from Gaza and the “West Bank”?
