Happy Thanksgiving! With so much doom and gloom around, I want to remind everyone that we are still truly blessed here in the USA.  Please remember to see the good tomorrow and count your blessings,  Nothing cures gloom as fast as a positive outlook on life.   We are still the same people as before the elections.  We are still as rich in life and blessings as we were before the Wall street meltdown.  The things that are important have not changed.  While ...

Look, I don’t claim to be an expert at economics. On a good day I can barely spell it correctly without a spellchecker. But I see all these different things happening that sound troubling and they have me raising my eyebrow. Consider: Gold reached a 16 year high breaking $450 an ounce, and is expected to go higher.
