Faith, we are reliably informed, is the “substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” The troubled 16-year-old girl from Gloucester, Virginia who calls herself Gavin Grimm, and insists on being treated as if she were a boy, is acting on something other than faith by denying substantive facts that are plain to be seen by fellow high school students who would share bathroom facilities with her. Those students, and the school faculty have unwisely indulged Grimm in her delusion to the extent of providing her – and others who have qualified for the trendy and politically … Continue reading →

Today is Earth Day. This celebration has been going annually on since 1970. The first Earth Day was originally celebrated on March 21, 1970, in San Francisco. It was the brainchild of John McConnell, a peace activist, and ecologist. But then the United Nations picked up the idea. The UN changed Earth Day in 1971 to the vernal equinox. The UN defined this as April 22. Earth Day has become an international phenomenon. It has replaced May Day on the calendar of environmentalists around the world. I guess we can be thankful for small blessings. Since they no longer celebrate … Continue reading →

I got into a debate the other day with a reader about the future of the car hobby; about whether today’s cars are fundamentally disposable appliances that work great for a long time – their chief virtue – but when they do finally begin to wear out, the cost to replace their numerous complex systems (especially the electronics) will be so high that most people will simply throw the car away in favor of a new one. Like cell phones, for instance. Also, that the new stuff’s complexity is a turn-off to tinkering, especially for beginners– the new crop of the old … Continue reading →

Philadelphia-based feminist Camille Paglia won’t be voting for Hillary Clinton in next week’s Pennsylvania primary, even going as far as suggesting something shady is going on with the former secretary of state’s hacking cough. ‘My tentative theory is that Hillary may have sporadic flare-ups of goiter, worsened under stress. Coughing is a symptom,’ Paglia wrote in a column taking down the Clinton candidacy on Salon.com. Clinton has had a noticeable cough throughout the primary season explaining to a New York radio host this week that it was due to ‘allergy season.’ But Paglia didn’t buy it. ‘I’m just a Ph.D., … Continue reading →

Bacteria in your gut might sound like a bad thing but, actually, your gut uses bacteria to process food into energy.[1]We call these helpful bacteria probiotics. Most people have heard the term in yogurt ads, but that’s about it. What are probiotics and what do they mean to your body? It all starts in your gut, the system in your body responsible for digestion. Proper digestion is essential to your health and probiotics are essential to your gut. When bacteria are out of balance, it can cause problems such as: Gas
[2] Bloating

While the robo-traders play tag with the chart points, it is worth considering how it will all end. After all, at today’s close the broad market (S&P 500) was valued at 24.3X LTM earnings per share. That is, valuations are in the nosebleed section of history, but financial history has tumbled into the sub-basement of future possibilities. Stated differently, every first-year spreadsheet jockey knows that what drives LBO models and NPV calculations is the assumed terminal year growth rate. Get imaginative enough about the possibilities out there, and you can come up with a swell return on today’s investment even if the next … Continue reading →
