What's not to like Meg Whitman?

Hewlett-Packard shares gained 5.5%  in intraday trading following news of additional 16,000 layoffs.

That's some great news for America.  Not!

Common Core Math

Common Core Math is the new math taught in schools under Obamaism.

Here is the gist of it.  You work your ass off and get an "A".

The kid over there does diddly squat and gets an "A".

There....we all get "A's".  

Mark Cuban says that isn't racist either.

Life in America on Memorial Day

There is so much change and pain being done to the fabric of this great nation by the Obama Administration.  The race-baiting and class warfare is all about the political process

It's hard to imagine how this President and his minions have been able to inflict so much damage against our financial condition.

May God bless the United States of America and may God bless each and every military man and woman who has served our great country.

May we never forget the greatness achieved by this nation and those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

And now, from the Bill Clinton School of Economics..............

As Bloomberg reports, "Italy will include prostitution and illegal drug sales in the gross domestic product calculation this year." Yup: blow and hookers. And that, ladies and gents, is how it's done.

Sicko's..............

It’s shameful that the president of the United States, the chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and the leaders of the country’s surveillance agencies refuse to accept consensus reforms that will keep our country safe while upholding the Constitution. And it mocks our system of government that they worked to gut key provisions of the Freedom Act behind closed doors.

Soft Dollar Payments and Payment for Order Flow

We have NEVER believed in "soft dollar" payments.  Never.

Commissions are paid to brokerage firms out of clients assets.  For THEIR benefit, not ours.

If we need research, conferences, phones, rent and fancy lunches we pay for them ourselves, not with excessive trading with clients assets.

Wall Street is still controlled by the political elite which is funded by Wall Street itself.

In the same vein, why would we want to do business with asset custodians who "sell" order flow to the highest bidder to the detriment of market structure?

Briefly speaking...........

What people fail to understand is that the life of freedom and decadent prosperity that they now enjoy was bought and paid for by millions of men who ran into gunfire, bayonets, canon fire and swords over the centuries so that the cause of righteousness could advance.  You agree right?

One need to look no further than a local VA Hospital to see the price of freedom.

Go take a look.   And thank a vet.
