Hillary reverts back to Clintonite Arkansas trailer trash style during Benghazi hearings...

Where's all this hoopla when Obama's on the TV talking about the evil corporations?

What hoopla? I have been doing very well the last 4 years. I've been doing well the decade before, too. But I will say that things aren't what they used to be - at least in my industry - what they were back in the 90's.

So how is it that people line up to invest in treasury bonds at the tiniest of interest rates? The people who actually have the smarts to have plenty of money obviously don't agree with you!

Only a portion of their portfolios would be in bonds of any kind, I hope. For the best return, I am still big on developing market funds.

Can you explain to me how anyone makes money on a bond that yields 3% when inflation is 3% or more?

That's not what Obama's been saying. He says people have it hard and the mean corporations are keeping all the money to themselves. That people need free phones and stuff.

Guns and ammo have returned over 100% in the last month. How's that for an investment!

And that is true - it is increasingly hard and corporations are sucking ever more out of people for ever less in return. Productivity increases going to profits rather than wages - i.e. corporations taking all the money - that's a fact. You can easily look that up. Lastly, the free phones were The Gipper's idea. Yeah, they've been around that long - they weren't cell phones at first but the free phone idea has been around for three decades. But it's okay if a Republican does it. We complain only when a Democrat continues with it. Certainly when that Democrat is a black Democrat. Carry on!

It beats investing in something like gold where the price to buy an ounce is considerably above the cost to produce an ounce by mining! Same idiotic thinking that produced the 'housing bubble'!
