“I’m just extremely skeptical about the ability of a retail purchaser to be able to play on a level field in the market,” said [Alex] Tsesis, who is 45 and lives in Chicago.  “I’m just trying to get out of stocks.”

Good luck with that, Al.... 

Heaven and Hell....Cornbelt Style!!!!!!

Is this Hell???  No, it's Illinois....

State Rep. Mike Bost (R-Murphysboro) rails against House Speaker Michael Madigan while Republicans tried unsuccessfully to amend the pension overhaul bill this week.

In the Land of the Blind

"in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king"

That leaves the U.S., warts and all. Anyone responsible for $100 billion needs transparency, predictability and good intelligence to manage risk and return.

I wonder if it will be like "John" Voight's LeBaron at some point in the future

Al Green Has Staying Power... The Euro? Maybe Not So Much

"French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel stressed their desire to keep the eurozone together on Tuesday evening in key talks just hours after France's new leader was inaugurated."

Holding the dysfunctional family together... Mommy and Daddy.
