    How I’d Fix the Cardinals if Given the Chance to be GM

    The first thing I would do if hired as the new Cardinals GM is buy a car. Or probably an SUV. Either way it would be a really sweet ride, a statement vehicle informing everyone that I’d arrived and I was somebody you had to take very freaking seriously. My first day I’d drive right up to the...

    Stagflation

    Here is a well-written article that explains the current issues as well as any I've read recently - it's fairly good for one that doesn't end up blaming the entire mess on aliens that is. :) It makes the argument we're headed toward higher interest rates because the Central Bankers are too...

    The Dollar

    Like in Frost's Fire and Ice, which speculates upon how the world will end, there've been several discussion on the board about either hyper-inflation or death-spiral deflation with great arguments presented by both camps.

    Health Care Effects

    Since it looks like the health care bill is going to pass, I'm wondering how this might effect the markets next week. On one hand, this should add a huge additional cost to doing business on companies that are already struggling, which would be negative. And yet the worst off will be small...
