It does seem like the bailouts for "necessary" parts of our economy are somewhat arbitrary. We are worried about how many jobs the auto industry provides, but we don't seem to be overly concerned about other areas. The other thing that's kind of crazy is that companies that are getting a bailout (read: Citi) are STILL shedding jobs. So it seems kind of silly to assert that this bailout will "trickle down" to everyone else. Miranda's last blog post..Backlash Over Executive Compensation: Goldman, UBS Forgo Bonuses

This is a joke. Our leaders are making every single wrong decision they can make right now for the long term health of our economy. Mortgage companies, auto companies, who’s next for a bailout? Starbucks?

Drove by a shopping center with 2 huge retailers going out of business today: Linens n Things and Circuit City. Why don’t they get bailed out? More retailers are going down over the next year. This is only beginning.

Contrast our policy w/ that of China. They actually HAVE the money to invest into their country and they are doing it in a great way to make them less dependent on china. Bearing on the U.S. Bullish on China long term.

If you’re into diversification, make sure you’re diversified against the dollar and remember your income is in dollars so you better be investing accordingly. Good luck. I have a feeling we’re gonna need it.
