The market is going to love it. The market always seems to applaud major mergers, even though the vast majority of them don't work out and don't increase shareholder value.

I find it funny that people who didn't think there was any inflation in the pipeline are now talking about stagflation. This is nothing like the 1970's, which was a pretty dismal period and not just because of polyester and disco.

Returnless risk is not how you prepare for a decent retirement.

This ugly duckling investment will likely need time - quarters, or even years - to blossom into a beautiful swan.

Never forget this simple truism: Forecasting is marketing, plain and simple.

One thing I detest most about the financial press is the lack of accountability. All sorts of nonsense is said without penalty.

If I am going to trash others for their dumb predictions, I must at least hold myself to the same sort of accountability.
