      Why Picking the President is Like Picking a Stock
      This is very simple. Our government is too fat and needs to get on a diet. The government does all sorts of things that are unconstitutional, such as social security, medicare, medicaid, you name it. The Federal government spends some $3.1 billion per year of which The Pentagon is some $650 billion, or about 1/5th. Add some overhead, and we could cut the size of The Federal government by probably close to 75%. Look at the income and capital gains taxes in Hong Kong, Estonia, Albania and other places where economic growth has been strong in the last few years -- nobody should have to pay more than 10% to the government.

      Sarah Palin: Wall Street's Candidate
      The author is of course 100% correct. This is just one more battle in the epic struggle between capitalism and socialism, and Mrs. Palin appears to be in the camp of capitalism. It's as simple as that.

      Obama's Economic Policy and Reagonomics
      You have to be kidding. Pinch me. Obama has zero appreciation for free market economic theory. Obama has never run a company, met a payroll. Has hasn't even run as much as a lemonade stand. He has supposedly never owned a stock or a 401(k) account. These facts combined with his Leninist-professorial background typical of Harvard-Berkeley types make him almost certain to destroy the economy with taxes, spending and regulation. This isn't very difficult, folks -- what always hurt the economy are taxes, regulation and government spending, and Obama is more in favor of those things than any other major Presidential candidate. What part of economics doesn't Obama or his apologists not understand? Apparently all of Economics 101 and more.

      Why Wall Street Analysts Shouldn't Own the Stocks They Cover
      I like the following: "The "buy" and "sell" recommendations on the front page are ignored by the clients who matter - the institutional investors." -- Now, if only Spitzer and his folks had understood this basic fact, there wouldn't have a witch-hunt for the analysts, which to date has driven some 99% of the sell side analysts who were in business in 2000, into hedge funds by now.

      The Minimum Wage and Employment
      How about we make the minimum wage $20/hour, $50, $100? Heck, let's just set it at $1,000 so as to compete with lawyers. Or $1,000,000 to compete with some hedge fund managers. If a minimum wage is harmless, why just tinker with it? The answer of course is that any government price control (minimum price or maximum price) is obviously harmful, on the face of it. Have you ever heard of rent control?

      Industry Analysts Vs. Financial Analysts: How Silly
      The author is 100% correct. One could furthermore add that Reg FD makes "quiet period" or "blackout period" irrelevant, in that companies can't selectively provide information 100% of the time.
