Some Thoughts On “2010 Primary Election Results: Unions Take Hit In Lincoln’s Arkansas Race”

Wages are dictated by market conditions. Whatever the market will bare should dictate wages, not some artifical wage dictated by unions. The free market system dictates wages. That's how it works in a free market economy. There are some books on capitalism at the library. Anything written by Ayn Rand is a good start. If you are opposed to the free market, then Read More

Criticism On “Fed Shifts Bond Portfolio”

As important, I think, is the question of why mortgage tax rates 2012 would follow treasuries down, assuming the Fed can drive the treasuries down even further, when there is no guarantee that if inflation kicks in as it will at some point with the policies being followed (see the late '70's for a lesson in stagflation, which is right where we are heading) Read More

An Opinion On “Banks Unite to Battle Online Theft”

As a banker I am aware of the child tax credit 2012 ID theft issue. What really happens is that credit bureaus will sometimes erroneously match names to SSNs. It is rare but if a large media outlet like MSNBC scours the nation for reports of terrible credit errors they will certainly find a few involving children. They piece together some seemingly logical Read More

Criticism On “WSJ Error Page”

Did you really read the news? It says Kurdish militants killed civilians. I dont know where did you find connection about Turkish PM Erdogan finds its ok to bomb kurds. As a kurdish/turkish I can tell 15 years ago there were assimilation against the kurdish people. However things have changed a lot.

My Analysis On “Why Levies on High”

Zweig's historical anecdotes are irrelevant to HF traders today. There's no liquidity problem that these traders solve for long term relationship-term investors. Even a $.001 per share transaction tax would do wonders to return equity markets to their relationship to the real economy and the value that company ownership is supposed to represent. The SEC and Read More

My View On “Netflix Separates DVD and Streaming Services”

This is what they should have done from the beginning --- create separate entities for online business for sale digital delivery vs. snail-mailed DVDs. Their choice of names is very telling. They have kept the goodwill associated with the Netflix name with online digital delivery, and come up with a very odd name for mailed DVD's (Quickster). This tips their Read More

Commentary On “K. Anis Ahmed: Bangladesh’s Secular Revolution”

Ever since its liberation, Bangladesh has seen a tug of war between the forward looking Awamis and the show to make a relationship lastne age Islamists of BNP. The BNP, a party composed largely of the Pakistanis vestiges, has tried its best to keep the Bangaldeshis inside an Islamic cocoon. Awamis, on the otherhand, have largely been secular and want Bangladesh Read More

My Take On “The Handwriting Is on the Wall”

If I want to read the letters my great grandmother wrote I have to be able to read the old German script which is nothing like today's handwriting. I learned to write this old script so I could actually read these wonderful insights into my great grandmother without the boredom of looking up each letter each time. It's all what you want out of life. I love Read More

Thoughts On “McDonald’s Marketing and Ronald McDonald Come Under Fire”

Children aren't driving themselves to McDonald's to buy Happy Meals. Adult enablers are. While having standards for marketing to children isn't a bad idea - I happen to think it's a good thing that tobacco can't market directly to children anymore - I have to wonder who plays the grown up in this conversation. Ronald McDonald is not the root of the problem, Read More

Views On “Harvard Study Measures Four”

actually, while potatoes are reasonably healthy eating tips for most people, because of their very high glycemic index and consequently ultra-fast conversion to sugar, they are nowhere near as healthy as whole-grain cereal and rice products or legumes as a source of carbohydrate calories. Obviously, for those without a diabetes problem, baked or boiled (then Read More
