Let Texas Secede!

A funny video mocking the pseudo-secession movement currently in Texas. Again, blogger.com's bugs won't let me post the video on the page, only the link. I previously had problems with blockquote for the longest time. Does anyone have answers to this?

Condom Industry Immune to Economic Distress

Where do you invest in this uncertain market? Big companies are laying off, car inventories are piling up, commodities are in the toilet; and everybody is being stingy(!) - saving instead of spending, waiting for bargains, waiting for prices to go down. If you own a restaurant or a small business, gregarious empathy is on your side, but forget charitable donations of spend-happy consumers.

Well, if there's one industry that's safe to be in - one seemingly impervious to financial kryptonite, and does a commendable service to society, to boot - it's the condom industry! Savvy investors will be delighted by their investments in Trojan or Durex(lol...:)) - U.S. sales were up 5% in the 4th quarter of 2008, up 6% last month compared to last year.

The article can be read here. And if you're without luck tonight, read this article and imagine what's possible down the road: watch a little You Porn, charge up your iPod (or your vibrator - lol!)

Okay, time to get some work done.

Too Many Beers Explains Our Economic Foul-Up

In a recent post, investment advisor Tony Sagami recalled a conversation he had with one of the top mutual fund managers in the country. In the conversation, he asked:

"How much of your own money do you have invested in your fund?"

With a few too many beers, he replied, "Hardly any! You think I'm stupid?"

That second quote serves as one of the most exemplary reasons why we're in the screw-up, and serves as a microcosm as to what counter-measures need to be applied to prevent future abuse.
