I was talking to one of our clients the other day, a man who works for a large Wall Street firm. He actually still has his job because he works in the "back office.". He's a tax specialist, has a masters degree in taxation (didn't know you could get one of those without spending some serious...
Here's a story for anyone involved in organic farming or for anyone involved in agriculture. Or anyone who likes to eat. :D

Thanks. I don't mind them not agreeing with me. That's their prerogative and right as an American. I just get tired of them telling me I can't disagree with them and trying to stop conservative speech and thought.
I guess we''l have to agree to disagree over George Bush and who is to blame over the current mess. I tend to believe Schumer, Dodd, Frank and the biggest idiot in Washington (Maxine Waters) are more to blame than anyone. Carter and Clinton to be sure, but I find it hard to blame Clinton - as...
Wrong board BD. No chickens here.
Techincally, Obama spent the last $350 billion of The No Bank Left Behind Act. Bush left it for him. He didn't have to spend it, but let the record show O spent it.
$350 billion for Wall Street
$470 billion for FY budget just passed
$879 billion for...
"The spiral will not end until we dispense with the attempts to prevent failure. Most of the money that has been "lost" over the past few years was never really there. It's not coming back. It was pie in the sky to begin with. The sooner we acknowledge that, the sooner we can assess reality and...
One of the best sources for news that I've found regarding the financial mess is BusinessWeek magazine. I've even gone backwards to re-read some of the articles they wrote a year ago, and sure enough, they were sending out dire warning signs then.
They have a terrific piece in this weeks...
There are some important government reports coming out in March. These may help tell us if we are in more more deflation or beginning to inflate. My guess is we're going to be deflating for some time.
March 15 - Milk Production Report
March 20 - Cattle on Feed Report
March 27 - Hogs & Pigs...
EMERGING MARKET TIME BOMBS:
Hungary received a $6.7 billion European Central Bank loan to ease its debt load.
Swedish banks have reported more than $100 million in losses on loans in recession-hit Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.
Persian Gulf: investors have pulled tens of billions out of the...
I watched the US Agribusiness Report this morning. They had a man from Rice Dairies on as a guest speaker. He's a dairy commodities trader on the CBOT. He said about 18 months ago cheese hit a peak (or a "bubble" as we call it now) because affluent Asians were "treating" themselves to cheese...
The only time I watch Fox news is when I want the truth. I watch Lou Dobbs on CNN, he's the only one left at CNN with any dignity, decency and common sense. When I want lies I'll watch NBC, CBS or ABC.
When I want to hear The Obama Party Line I'll watch Keith Olberman. Until I throw up.
That's good stuff. I don't know why, but I hadn't even considered the possibility that expiration dates would shrink on canned goods. We started buying in September and have dates between 12-20 mos out. But what if the dates shrink to 6 mos before expiration, for example. (Lack of food) for...
