BILL BERKOWITZ FOR BUZZFLASH

?The most compassionate thing we can do for Muslims who have already immigrated here is to help repatriate them back to Muslim countries, where they can live in a culture which shares their values ?Why force them to chafe against the freedom, liberty and civil rights we cherish in the West?" ?Bryan Fischer, director of issue analysis for government and public policy at the American Family Association, on the blog "Rightly Concerned."

The Most Profitable Global ETFs

post from Jutia Group on 16 August 2010 08:29:38 AM. © Jutia Group

If you’ve been missing some of Ron Rowland’s columns on exchange traded funds — ETFs — that we publish here each Thursday, then I think you may be making a serious tactical error.

I say that for three reasons:

First, because he’s been so right for so many years about the tremendous growth he predicted for global ETFs and how easy they would be for average U.S. investors to buy or sell.

Second, because nearly all of the global ETFs he has introduced to Money and Markets readers have appreciated very nicely in value. Indeed, in his May 14 column of last year, the very first ETF he…

TONY PEYSER FOR BUZZFLASH

He forgot he ever called himself a ?maverick?
(Quite a stunt at this late date)
Maybe he can?t recall more than many suspect
And really thinks it?s 2008.

You and the Gulf

The well is capped.
The well still needs more work.

The water's fine, c'mon down.
Tar balls are still under the sand.

The seafood is safe, eat, eat.
The seafood is questionable.

It's all over.
Ramifications will last for decades.

It's hard to know.

It appears our President thinks the water is okay. Not because he went swimming in it, but because he took Sasha with him. Politicians will do a lot to prove a point. They won't risk their children.

So the question becomes, what is the truth? Or more likely, what are the truths?

Some of the answers only time and research can tell us. But we all will make our decisions by ourselves. There is something to be said about supporting the Gulf and its people. The area has been decimated first by Katrina and other hurricanes, and now by the BP fiascoes. Yup, more than one. BP just agreed to pay a $50 million fine to Texas for a refinery explosion. Restaurants across the country have been raising prices on the seafood that they have in their freezers, and there have been shortages. Not just an industry, but a whole way of life is dependent on when and if the seafood business comes back. The fisherman and shrimpers will be starting out again soon: it's questionable what they'll find.

What are you doing now and in the near term?

Democrats vs. Democrats

There are “Democrats,” including Blue Dogs who are indistinguishable from Republicans, and then there are progressive Democrats?authentic Democrats, who are fast becoming an endangered species. For decades the Democratic Party has been abandoning its progressive roots?and its mission to represent workers, the middle class, the poor, minorities, and the disadvantaged?in favor of a more business [...]Related posts:
