Baby Boomers get ready! Kids in their mid 30′s moving back home! Economists are now saying that a kid today will now cost $240,000 more over their lifetime than they used to-due to the economic environment!

I have noticed around my neighborhood alot of adult children moving back in with their parents… Many of these neighbors are not happy at all with their moving back in!

Using Gold to Solve the Problem

A very good, and unsurprising, piece in the FT today on the use of gold to collateralize debt in the Eurozone.

As readers know, I call this “marshalling” gold. And in Part II I try to roughly guess when in the crisis cycle this takes place. I think Jim Rickard’s has wisely said that countries can marshal gold patiently and in advance of a systemic break–or they can marshal gold during a panic. It [...]

Buffett: Collapse of Euro Is Not ‘Unthinkable’

“I know some people think it’s unthinkable…I don’t think it’s unthinkable,” Buffett said in an interview.

Netflix gets kudoes in my mind for being right about streaming and right about unlimited content paid monthly.

by Moon Kil Woong

As for technology, it is not apparent that Netflix has clear advantages as I mentioned before. They like others are moving from legacy distribution (mailing DVDs in their case) to streaming which will cause scalability and bandwidth problems.

As for price, margins, and stock multiplier’s even the CEO doesn’t know what the right target is. The response is well written and clearly contains spin and a lawyer or [...]

I have been welcomed with open [...]
