Welcome to a Liberal World

Market Speculator (October 13th, 2008) Writes:

Our Free Market has already been taken over by socialism…is Freedom of Speech next? 

Notice how if you do not agree with Liberals they want to attack you. They want you to believe their way is the right and only way. Sound familar? Al Qaeda wants to bring a holy war because the West is not Muslim. These terrorist will not negotiate nor accept an opposing view, its their way or death.

Let’s get back to our Constitution and remove Government in our lives. Getting back to true FREE MARKETS.

The biggest bubble in the world

DanielXX (September 6th, 2008) Writes:
(P.S: Sorry for any disturbances the advertisements above may have caused you)No it's not the US housing bubble or even the UK housing bubble. Though definitely quantitatively more substantial, the amount of euphoria and the way that prices were being chased up are nothing compared to the greatest one of all -- the English Premier League.When player wages are inflating at an increasing rate even as global fundamentals are declining you either call that a growth industry or a bubble. Some statistics: in the first Premier League season the average player wage was £75,000 per year, but subsequently rose by an average 20% per year for a decade (source: Wikipedia) and in 2006 a survey by The Independent and the Professional Footballers' Association found that salaries of EPL players had jumped by a massive 65% within one year to an average basic pay ...

Biden as a Possible VP Choice

Jeffrey Miller (August 20th, 2008) Writes:
Biden was never a frontrunner in the 2008 Election, but he was always considered as a favorite VP choice (along with Bill Richardson). It seems, however, that if Barack chooses Biden as VP, quite a few things he said back in his presidential bid would come back to haunt him. Most notably: “The only guy on the other side who’s qualified is John McCain.” “The Biden for President Campaign today congratulated Sen. Barack Obama for arriving at a number of Sen. Biden’s long-held views on combating al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan.” “My impression is [Obama] thinks that if we leave, somehow the Iraqis are going to have an epiphany” of peaceful coexistence among warring sects. “I’ve seen zero evidence of that.” It would almost be like Biden would be doing McCain’s work for him.

Anti-Social Investing

Vitaliy Katsenelson (September 7th, 2007) Writes:

We live in the society where, to our detriment, being politically correct is often more important than being correct. So I am going to come out and make a politically incorrect statement - social investing is an oxymoron.

There is nothing social about investing. Investing is not about making popular, socially approved choices. It is about allocating capital from a less efficient use to more efficient use. Touchy-feely types of choices make us feel good about ourselves… well, until we have to retire and have to start paying for things.
