The Organic Economy

one of the best articles I have seen in months today in WSJ on "the two economies" in Obama's head. He contends that , to the President, the private economy is not the real one but is instead an intellectual abstraction. Lack of a core understanding of what an organic economy is and what makes it tick seems to be central to the policy choices. Very good read.

Greek Default? Really?

Came across this piece written a few months back on Niall Ferguson's views on Greece. As he points out, over the past 200 years or so Greece has been in and out of default several times. This isn't a novel event. Yet most of the "explanations" today by the talking heads say fear of Greece defaulting (again) are to blame for the lackluster markets. Hmmm, really??

Large Scale Mortgage Refinancing Results

Some good,thoughtful analysis by CBO on the outcomes of large mortgage re-financing programs. It does not surprise me in the least that the analysis concludes that the benefits (gains) of such schemes by a few, roughly equal the losses for the many . We have tried 5 major programs in less than 3 years and still the housing markets continues downward. Maybe it is time to let the market clear and find a bottom so we can move forward .

Tax Policy History

A very interesting and brief piece on the history of soak the rich tax policies . As the author points out , most taxes start out reaching only a few then rapidly expand to reach most.

Classic John Bogle

A truly outstanding article by Jason Zweig in WSJ on the equity markets,buy and hold, diversification and even gold. Bogle is without peer in his steadfastness. As he says diversification is not just the first thing investors should think about, but also the 2nd and 3rd and 4th thing.
