A Reminder

A reminder of what real Capitalism is:

Because we all forget sometimes.

Hindenberg Omen?

Very interesting:

Think what you will. You know my opinion. As always, trade at your own risk.

I Guess I'm "Cool" Now

http://www.cnbc.com/id/38635990

So why am I not traveling the world giving speeches and making $ hand over fist? Oh well, at least I am enjoying my life.

But really, we permabears don't say what we say because its cool. Its not cool. And people really don't want to hear it. Only the very brave will even listen.

We say it because we believe it to be true and want you to prosper instead of suffer during the coming depression.

20 Year Reunion

My 20-year high school reunion was this weekend....

It could have looked like this:



And as funny as that clip is, it didn't look anything like it. It was a blast.

I was a bit nervous to see the old gang I used to hang with because I had really only kept in touch with one of them (who is my best friend to this day). But as soon as we all saw each other it was as if not a day had passed. We laughed, talked, joked, and well yes, threw back a few just like we had seen each other yesterday.

I was amazed at how great everyone looked and the people putting the reunion together could not have done a better job.

Many in my graduating class (MVHS 1990) had done well for themselves professionally and financially. Though it is hard to tell, I had a feeling some of them were even doing OK personally and emotionally. (Success cannot be measured in dollar terms only.)

But anyway, thank you to my good, old friends and THANK YOU to anyone who reads and listens to my ranting on this blog - you have no idea how much I appreciate the readership!

(Also, to anyone following, please leave a link to your blog (if you have one) in my comments section. This will let me know it is ok to link it on my site.)

Thanks for a fabulous weekend!
