January 2, 2010

Happy New Year. Depending on your perspective, 2009 was either a great year, or a not so great year. Either way, it’s done, and it’s time to get on with 2010. But first, some left over business from 2009.
At this time last year I invited readers to make their predictions for 2009. You can [...]

Why Gold Will Continue to Rise in 2010

December 26, 2009

Happy Boxing Day, the day when traditionally we box up the gifts we got at Christmas that we don’t want, and send them back. I liked all of the gifts that I got, so I will be doing no boxing today. (Although we did get our boys the Wii, and I understand there may be [...]

December 19, 2009

There were many examples this week that proved the point I discussed last week that things are not as they appear.
Last week I talked in detail about the fall of Tiger Woods. (And yes, I know I promised not to talk about him again, but I just can’t help myself. Please indulge me for three [...]

I sat down at my computer and began to write a long dissertation on Why The Government Can’t Create Jobs, and why the Obama Job Summit was a joke. Then I was going to talk about the silliness of sending more troops to fight the unwinable war in Afghanistan. I was then going to close [...]

Still Surviving

November 28, 2009

I am pleased to report that I survived my weekend with my boys; we had a great time, in fact. The most fun part of the weekend was on Sunday at around noon, as we walked into the Air Canada Centre in Toronto to watch the Raptors game. As I walked in my cellphone rang; [...]

November 21, 2009

This week am I a bit out of sorts. Mrs. JDH is off to Toronto for a weekend of Christmas shopping, and I am left in charge of my two boys, JDH1 and JDH2. (No, they don’t have the same name as me; I have the same name as my father, so I decided to [...]

I Apologize, Again

November 14, 2009

Last week I said that you are reading the visual observations of a blind man, since I have no clue what’s happening. I still don’t, so I will keep my comments short and sweet this week. Well, short, anyway.
For the week, the Dow gained 247 points or 2.4%. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite also [...]

Advice from a blind man

November 7, 2009

You are reading the visual observations of a blind man. I’m not literally a blind man. In fact, I had Lasik surgery, so my vision is quite good. (Actually I had the surgery twice on one of my eyes. It worked well the first time, but my eyes started to regress, so about two years [...]

Some Scary Thoughts for Halloween

October 31, 2009

Happy Halloween. I’m dressing up as a stimulus check. The White House announced this week that the first $150 billion in stimulus funds have “created or saved” 650,000 jobs.
