Armed only with an analytical mind and the ability to speak in metaphors, I attempt to explain the events of the day as I view them through the magic glasses my parents gave me over 50 years ago. Regards, Slim

Gold Hits $1,800. If I hadn't sold my gold when I was poor, I'd be rich today.

Okay, Uncle Jed. One and One, that's two. Two and two, that's four. Three and three, that's six, four and four, that's eight.

WSJ: Deciphering Jobless Claims' Mixed Messages. People are out of work. Clear enough, Jethro? "Jethro, show Mr. Drysdale your cipherin'"


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
TV buoys News Corp. Profits Rise. Dividends Rise. Just goes to prove...There is no such thing as bad publicity. ;-) Slim

Sad Irony. Sprint has cash crisis just as competitor goes on strike.

Law Grads Sue Over Tuition. IRONY: if they're successful, verdict will be overturned on appeal. If they fail, the case has no merit. ;-)

France--Austerity. Italy--Austerity. Greece--Austerity. Spain--Austerity. Europe is suffering a Plague of Austere Proportions.

[Not a joke] WSJ: Swiss National banked grasped 9grasped?0 for ways to rein in uber-currency. I thought the WSJ liked Switzerland.


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
Italy Passes Test. Sells T-Bills at lower rate. Now, small question. Is there an economic development project underway to bring in revenue?


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
Sarkozy meets w/ cabinet on French Crisis. Is this separate from someone else's crisis? WORK TOGETHER. Meet (verb) 2 work (verb) on solution


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
Market Drop Resumes. The Bulls make money, the Bears make money, the Pigs and Chickens get slaughtered. [Or not.] Slim


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
Couldn't FED malcontents dissent in private? Then, after the vote, put on a happy face & hold a unanimous public vote. We'd all feel better.


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
Your Honour, I move that all the evidence that proves my client is guilty of murder to be stricken from the record.


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
WSJ: DNA collection backlash. Why? Privacy Rights. But don't you violate people's rights when you arrest them before they've been convicted?


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
WSJ: Panel calls for more "Fracking" Rules. Just let me light up a glass of water and I'll sit down and read the article.


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
Here we go: Do you teach children to read or do you teach children how to read? Teach children phonics. Once they know how to read--get it?


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
I will let the Board of Ed in on a big secret. In order for children to learn to read, you must teach children how to read. Remember, anyone


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
WSJ: States Fail to raise bar in Reading & Math Tests. You are not supposed to raise the bar. You are supposed to raise the performance.


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
WSJ: BofA CEO Moynihan struck a contrite tone in effort to win over investors. Just what investors want, a humble CEO.


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
WSJ: Bridgewater, Caxton & Brevan Howard: Hedge funds that made $ in the turmoil. John Paulson hasn't. That sounds like a commercial to me.


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
When we were kids, "I'm telling your Mom." Now, "I'm lowering your bond rating."


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
The sky is falling, the sky is falling. Actually, the sky is not falling. The real story? Bullies are threatening France's bond ratings.


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
US Antitrust regulators focusing on Google. Now you know why I never pursued success in life. I was afraid I'd be punished for it.


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
Companies hoard cash to protect themselves against a bad economy. Thus causing a bad economy. Justifying their strategy. Did I get it right?


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
WSJ: FED officials need 2 see evidence of continued weakening before stepping in. I'm glad they said that. As opposed to my having said it.


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
US has a new plan. If something goes wrong, blame China. China--1 Carrier. US--15 Carriers. Are we really worried about a global reach?
