If financial advisors understand economics, they won’t be impressed by the bailout.

If financial advisors understand economics, they wouldn’t be financial advisors, they’d be economists.



I agree though. Helicopter Bernanke has exploded the Money Supply, nearly trebled the asset side and created a bloat in the constipated banking system that is going to let loose with a thundering rush one day.



So much for Monetary Policy.



Congress has spent beyond the wildest dreams of the most avarice politician ever and state and local governments have followed along. Page the Governator for an example.



Now the question is, where is safety?

Safety is the right mix of cash, stocks and bonds, at a reasonable fee.   And transferring certain risks.   Yeah, too bad Americans generally aren't better economists. You have books like Freakonomics to help popularize some concepts, though.

Freakonomics is more micro than macro.  Although still very interesting.

There should be a way to make money off that interest. A win -  win.

Maybe it's called Libertarianism. In that case, you make money off books, not being a politician.   There must be a way.

Awesome show. Now we’re talking Coastal Range, about 45 degrees and raining, same temperature as the Pacific. Free heat in the winter.





If you want to be a logger, first thing, take up chewing tobacco. So you’re jacked up and paying attention after you set the choker hook to when the wire rope rig goes tight and the log pile moves.



Even folks in these parts have forgotten how we ever got enough money to even have a government. Much less pay money to the feds and all the other preppie corporate boys and girls back east.



I hear Amy Roloff is speaking at the chamber of commerce this month. [/quote]



back in the day…in another life…I used to do a couple of tins of kodiak a day



Pop it in while cold calling. that nasty crap gives you an awesome buzz.

Haha, that's a great picture, cold calling on a couple of cans of chew. Nice to know, if things get really bad, that's still an option, we still have those skills. And could probably still hold our own at a lens bias memorial party if wanted - revenge of the girly men.

Here's hoping to be less of a pussy once the kids are grown and flown.

I miss it.  IMO, it gives you an edge on the battlefield.  My wife would not marry me as long as I continued to dip.  I was a big Kodiak Ice fan. 

I’m weak.

At least it’s long cut and not snuff. 

One particular week in Iraq, we were staking out the border looking for insurgents crossing.  I ate up a whole log trying to stay awake and not be bored.

You’re lucky you didn’t see little green men and pink animals popping out of the sand - or maybe you did. Thanks for protecting the border while I was watching Survivor.
