This is a tale of 2 stories the press started covering last week.  One, let’s call it the “Kidnapped Girl” story.  It’s about a young woman who escaped after being kidnapped and held against her will for 18 years.  The other, let’s call it “The Fed Secrets” story. It’s about the Federal Reserve losing a court decision that will force it to say who it gave trillions of dollars to during the financial meltdown.
No doubt, the young girl who was kidnapped 18 years ago will get plenty of …

Hunter’s Take
John Crudele is one of the good guys when it come to telling the truth and protecting your investments.  The article below is nothing short of brilliant, concise and adds real clarity with what stinks about the economy.  When I say stinks, I mean fishy.  If you have money invested in the stock market, you should read this until the very end because  Crudele offers a warning everyone should give serious thought to.  I have been reading Crudele’s column in the New York Post for years, and he has a habit …

The country has lost one of the most influential members of the U.S. Senate in the last 50 years. Ted Kennedy was called the “Lion of the Senate” for good reason.  Even though he was a staunch Republican opponent, he was also known as the “go to” member of the Senate to get bipartisan support for legislation.  Few of Kennedy’s big bills did not have at least one big name Republican sign on to it.  This morning, I heard Hard Ball host Chris Matthews say on television he …

In July comedian Jon Stewart, anchor of the Daily Show on Comedy Central, was voted the “Most Trusted” Newscaster. He had almost as many votes as Charlie Gibson and Brian Williams combined. Katie Couric, according to the Time Magazine poll, came in dead last. Boy, if that is a not a wake up call to mainstream media I do not know what is.
I don’t think it’s as much of a put down of the anchors as it is what they put on the air for news content. The …

Glen Beck’s problems with his advertisers started on “Fox & Friends” the morning of July 28th when he said President Obama has “a deep-seated hatred for white people,” adding, “This guy is, I believe, a racist.”  Since then, it has been reported no less than 20 advertisers have asked The Fox News Channel not to place their ads in his show.  Colorofchange.org is taking credit for the ad exodus from GB.  It’s a group that says it “exists to strengthen Black America’s political voice.” I would not have …

I keep hearing the constant drone of real estate being “at a bottom” or “finding a bottom.”  I started to really notice this chatter by the talking heads of financial television in the middle of June when I heard Jim Cramer declare that “real estate has bottomed!”  Yes, we just got some good news on the home front about exsisting home saIes jumping more than 7 percent in July. It is the 4th consecutive increase in sales. However, factor in 31 percent of all sales are foreclosures and …
