A shining city on a hill. That’s what America is to a lot of folks.

Did you think price improvement gave you the “edge”? Think again.

CME sends a letter to the financial community. Glad they did it, but it was a little late(again). Don’t believe what you read about Terry Duffy. He is a straight up guy. $CME is hurting right now, and I don’t see any reason to buy the stock. But, things change.

Paul Krugman and the new austerity.

Thanks to anyone that clicks here, emails it, comments or interacts. We are 143 on this list. Blog started in January of 2010, and didn’t get picked up by Stocktwits until fall of that year. Stocktwits has a lot of great bloggers, and is a great site.

More on the drought.

In honor of the drought.
