I was inspired by David's post, as I usually am, but this time I thought I would just dump all my thoughts on the table and let the rest of you sort them out at will.

1) I can't remember a president that didn't lie to me, but the trend lately is a president that lies to his own political power base. GPB... "Read my lips, no new taxes." , BC...

Obama's last moment of meaningful power...

ChrisGraley — Mon, 19 Nov 2012 18:47:17 GMT

If 1/1/2013 comes and goes without any meaningful compromise between right and left, the alternative minimum tax will effect everyone making over $75,000. Not people making $75,000 next year, but people making $75,000 this year. This is a huge amount of voters that picked Obama that will be caught off-guard. Hardest hit will be people with large families and people counting on big mortgage deductions.

I'll be selling some silver very shortly.

ChrisGraley — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 18:34:31 GMT

I'll be selling it at $60 an ounce and I'll be selling only enough to pay for my initial investment.
Bernanke went on TV today and assured me that it will get that high.
I'll put it all in Swiss Francs, because the dollar sucks.
As soon as I see another buying opportunity, I'll put it all back in silver.
I was expecting a 300 to 400 pt drop followed by some government fixing. I saw some early bond fixing followed by a 700 pt drop and the day ain't over yet. I'm taking this as government capitulation.

Yesterday, I pointed out the lunacy of a city code in Detroit that stopped a lady from growing food on her own property. I was shocked that such an enchroachment of rights was met by indifference. The best arguments that I got from a couple of people were that "You can't fight government" and "This isn't anywhere near as bad as the KKK." The most shocking argument that I got was that I should be exiled for bringing it u...

Other than this introduction, I'm not going to post any more in this thread. Feel free to post any response that you might have. Have a discorse with others if you want. I'll just be posting videos here. I'll say that I'm posting a couple of liberal leaning videos that I don't agree with and a couple of conservative videos that I don't agree with. I've also posted a video smack dab in the middle that I don't agree with. The theme in this t...

Added a very small amount of investment content to my website.

ChrisGraley — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 19:30:46 GMT

This content is in the wiki on the top level Finance Section of my site. All of this content is from one provider and I plan on adding more to this section, but I want to get an idea if I'm moving in the right direction with this.
The Finance section will be broken down into many more sections and sub-sections. The Finance section itself is meant to have a global view. Sub-sections of the finance group w...

We are Greece

ChrisGraley — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 22:16:58 GMT

Protesters flocked the streets of Chicago today to give business leaders the message that it's their responsibility to create jobs. The people are upset with entitlement cuts and have an anomosity to business after their tax dollars went to bail out some businesses. You can't blame them for being upset, but they are demonstrating in the wrong area and should be demonstrating in D.C. or even more appropriately in front of the governor's office. W...

Welcome to my new website.

Ok I believe that I have enough navigation bugs woked out. I have a terms of service set up and a privacy policy set up. My test bloggers have put up some great content, and I seem to be winning against the Chinese sploggers. So I think it's time to open it up to all my friends at the fool.
