Unlike stock market history, where a “black Monday” is synonymous with disaster, the post-Thanksgiving shopping rush is designed to commemorate the surge of cash into retailers that turns a bad year into a profitable one. http://www.moneyshow.com/artredir.asp?aid=Blog-18283&spn=rss&scode=012489 The Young Are About to Get Shafted 11/16/2009 8:47:00 AM For years, I’ve been predicting America’s greatest divide would be generational warfare. Now, those predictions are <u>coming true</u>. http://www.moneyshow.com/artredir.asp?aid=Blog-18226&spn=rss&scode=012489 Oil Dependency 11/9/2009 11:59:00 AM The statistics are frightening. In the United States we use 21 million barrels of oil a day. Of that amount, 13 million barrels are imported. In fact, the United States, with only four percent of the world’s population, uses 25 percent of the global supply each day! http://www.moneyshow.com/artredir.asp?aid=Blog-18176&spn=rss&scode=012489 It’s All About Attitude 11/2/2009 10:53:00 AM Attitude makes all the difference—whether you’re a politician, an economist, or a trader. But you can’t take attitude to the bank to pay your credit card bill! And you can’t take headline GDP statistics to the mortgage company to rescue your home. The American public is starting to get more than mildly annoyed at those who tell them the economy is bouncing back. http://www.moneyshow.com/artredir.asp?aid=Blog-18110&spn=rss&scode=012489 When Will the Next Breakthrough Come? 10/26/2009 10:03:00 AM Is there any way out of America’s financial woes? If you stand back and take an honest look at the growing debt and the promises we’ve made, the situation seems hopeless. Not only have we promised baby boomers a return of their Social Security and Medicare premiums, the government is adding a new entitlement for health care coverage and even money to buy a new car! http://www.moneyshow.com/artredir.asp?aid=Blog-18048&spn=rss&scode=012489 America Moves Left While Cuba Moves Right 10/19/2009 12:01:00 AM Just as America seems to be taking a turn to the left, capitalism is rearing its head in Cuba. Raul Castro, brother of Fidel, and now the president of Cuba, has signaled that it’s time to do away with the “libretta.”  http://www.moneyshow.com/artredir.asp?aid=Blog-17987&spn=rss&scode=012489 The Onus Is on You, Not the Government 10/12/2009 12:01:00 AM Last week, CMS (the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) reduced Medicare funding for nursing homes by an estimated $16 billion over the next ten years. Twenty-four states have already reduced Medicaid funding this year. And $313 billion of additional cuts have been proposed by the Obama administration to fund health care reform. http://www.moneyshow.com/artredir.asp?aid=Blog-17928&spn=rss&scode=012489 Lessons Learned from Stocks’ Rough Ride 10/5/2009 12:01:00 AM There’s a kind of masochism in “celebrating” the one-year anniversary of Wall Street’s collapse.  Yet that’s what the media has been doing for the last couple of weeks—recounting the scary stories of Fannie, and Freddie, and Lehman, and AIG, along with Congress’s rejection of the original $700-billion bank bailout, and the day the market lost a trillion dollars—September 29, 2008. http://www.moneyshow.com/artredir.asp?aid=Blog-17862&spn=rss&scode=012489 How Safe Is Your Money Fund? 9/28/2009 10:30:00 AM How safe is the money in your money market mutual fund? Well, slightly less safe than it was two weeks ago before the US Treasury’s Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Mutual Funds was allowed to expire. http://www.moneyshow.com/artredir.asp?aid=Blog-17815&spn=rss&scode=012489 Colleges Need to Deal With Costs, Too 9/21/2009 12:01:00 AM Amidst worries about job losses and problems paying the mortgage, many American families are facing another financial crisis: how to pay for college. http://www.moneyshow.com/artredir.asp?aid=Blog-17752&spn=rss&scode=012489
