Don Cherry will no longer be a staple of Hockey Night in Canada because he was fired for speaking his mind. Listen to his side of the story and you’ll see why this is yet another travesty by the fascist media police. What a joke. Watch the latest video at foxnews.com … [Read more...]
Google to Offer Checking Accounts Next Year
I don’t like this at all. The name alone, Cache, is dripping with smugness. When it comes to your money privacy is always paramount. CNBC's Jeff Cox reports: Google will offer checking accounts next year, according to a source familiar with the company’s plans, representing Big Tech’s boldest move yet into the consumer banking business. Most previous efforts have focused on credit cards and payment platforms. The accounts for the project will be run by Citigroup and the Stanford Federal Credit Union, the source said, confirming a report in The Wall Street Journal. As part of a … [Read more...]
Texans Fight to Protect Their Income from Taxation
Texans are known for their fierce loyalty to their home state, with some even considering themselves Texans first, then Americans. So it's no surprise when Texans band together to protect themselves from outside forces seeking to change the state's character and customs. Thanks to Texas' many years of economic success, people from all over America and beyond have immigrated to the state to participate in its bounty. They have brought with them ideas antithetical to Texas' traditions, including a desire for bigger government. In the face of this foreign influence on their ways, Texans … [Read more...]
Here’s How the Wealthy Get More for Their Money
For decades high tax states have been treating their wealthiest residents like a bank account, with money to be withdrawn whenever state legislators had a new pet project to fund. In the past, wealthy residents were tied down to places like New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut because of their proximity to centers of industry like Wall Street. Today though, the internet allows wealthy executives to operate their businesses from almost anywhere. With this newfound freedom, many wealthy residents of high tax states have been fleeing for places like Florida, where they get to keep more of … [Read more...]
Is Your Town Protecting Your Second Amendment Rights?
Earlier this weak I wrote to you about Second Amendment Sanctuary cities. Across the country states, cities, towns and counties have adopted resolutions naming themselves "Second Amendment Sanctuaries." Here's a list of those municipalities that have expressed their intent to protect their citizens' Second Amendment rights. Four states have passed Second Amendment Sanctuary resolutions, including Alaska, Idaho, Kansas, and Wyoming.

Blockchain Can Bring Speed, Efficiency and Competition to Stock Settlement
I am a fan of blockchain technologies, though I am skeptical of the crypto-currencies that are so far the best-known uses of blockchain. Despite a history that is closely tied to crypto-currencies, blockchain technologies are finding their way into other industries. Now, the Wall Street Journal reports, blockchain has the chance to bring speed, efficiency and much-needed competition to the business of stock transaction settlements. Alexander Osipovich reports: Last week, the Securities and Exchange Commission gave the green light to a pilot project in which blockchain—the technology behind … [Read more...]
One of My Favorite CD’s: Joe Beck’s Relaxin’
What’s great about CDs is they’re a package of songs that can bring you back in time—who said time travel wasn’t possible?—where you can feel how an artist was creating at that point in their career. Here’s one of my favorites. If you’re interested in just taking a deep breath and thinking about life for a while, then there’s no better medication than Joe Beck’s Relaxin’. Featuring Beck on guitar, Jay Leonhart on bass, and Grady Tate on drums, this trio plays inspired rhythms and solos in, as the title implies, a cool relaxed feel. Check it out here: Listen at Minute 6:00 to "Secret … [Read more...]
Stock Investors: Set it and Forget it!
You can read until you’re blue in the face about how the current high level of cash is a bullish signal. That investors, fearing they’re missing the boat may begin to pile into the stock market. That may be the case, but does it mean you should increase your allocation to stocks? It depends. Do you have the patience to hang in there if they fall in value by say 20 percent? Or are you hoping for a gain of 20 percent to make life “easier?" I think you’d be wise to remember what my father in law Dick Young says, “Hope is not a strategy.” You can also read about how the investment committees of … [Read more...]
Second Amendment Sanctuaries
Across America counties and towns have been passing resolutions affirming their status as Second Amendment "sanctuaries." Recently Mohave County became the latest to adopt such a resolution.

Constitution, and declares Mohave County a Second Amendment Sanctuary County," reads a resolution approved unanimously on November 4 by the Mohave County Board of Supervisors. The move follows a recent trend across the southern and western United States for rural municipalities to reaffirm … [Read more...]
There’s No Better Way to Put Time to Work for You
Over the weekend I received this email from a client: Hi EJ, My recently departed friend, George B. of Putney, Vermont was a volunteer driver delivering lunches to Meals on Wheels clients in the Brattleboro area. Ronald Read was on his route. George was stunned to learn that Mr. Read had accumulated so much wealth. Thought you might find this of interest. Also, George was a fellow grad of Northeastern University, 10 years before me. Regards, David L. David had read about Ronald Read in Dick Young’s Intelligence Report of May 2015. Dick wrote then: Pumping Gas to the Tune of $8 … [Read more...]
