Love your predictions about “ordinary” citizens gaining seats in the House and I totally agree. I think this will be the result of Beck’s organization and Palin campaigning for non-politicians to take back Congress. 30 seats is a good guess; I was hoping for somewhere in the 50 - 70 range of conservative Independents winning House seats.
Lakers win 2010 Championship, defeating the Celtics 4-2.

FC...1st, any of this discussion is not investment advice....
Funny you say that. After seeing Glenn last night and thinking about AU's energy independence, low unemployment and good stock market this year for over a month, I have done some cursory research on AU bond funds/ETF's and have a found a few but do not know if I can access them.
How are you doing it?
Brilliant minds think alike....
BTW something caught my eye this week and has me thinking the dollar is on it's way to tanking.
Ford is saying they will build a battery facility w/in the Wayne Truck Plant and employ 1000 between now and 2012'
My question right off the bat was why?
A friend of mine may have struck on the answer. Rather than buy from China or ? if the dollar tanks why pay a premium to buy/import from the outside. My gut feel tells me he is spot on and Team Mulally IMHO may be seeing it as well.
If so, you maybe spot on on getting out of US Dollars...
2010
1) The recession will continue through the whole year, due to EPA crackdown on carbon producing business, along with cap and trade passage plus the health care bill, totally killing any positives in the economy
2) Euro at the end of 2010 will equal $1.87
3) Unemployement at the end of 2010 - 14.9% (only cause they don’t want it to be 15% officially)

4) 10 or more GOPers will declare for President (other than Palin).
5) A Republican will be elected Governor of Maryland and Tennessee.

As long as I don't have to see and hear that commercial she does for Direct TV. I'm watching the Army-Navy game and that ad has been on at least eight or ten times already.
You will see that commercial 10 more times today. Tonight you will see it in your dreams! Sorry!
I saw Christina sing the national anthem at a Pirates game back in 1991 or ‘92 when she was nine or ten. Who would have guessed?

10. The NY Times will undergo a major financial restructuring, in a last ditch attempt to keep control with the Sulzberger family. They will sell off everything except the paper, and take out maximum loans on it.
I don't think that's going to happen.
all i care about at this point is that there is a tremendous upheaval in the congress in 2010 and that Obama is soundly defeated in 2012 showing voter dissatisfaction with his policy.
Giving the new president a TRUE mandate (not one stated by the president alone or by the MSM) by the people to reverse the direction our country is going in. And a TRUE MANDATE to suspend all the BS that this congress is pulling, trash what Obama has done and get back to the basics of a fiscally responsible government, with less regulation on it’s people.
2. Secret papers will be release from the archives in Russia or the Vatican (not related) that will be of historical significance (change how we view an event in history).Free advice -- the key to greater success in prognostication is to vagueness. ;')
why Australia?
Mulally had a lot to do with Airbus taking the head fake on the Sonic Cruiser, and then doing the 7E7 based on focusing on fuel costs as a source of restoring profitability.
He’s a very, very smart guy. Ford stock is cheap right now.
