@Maurice- Yes, I always thought that he knew a lot more than he'd let on. Kind of the opposite with Susie Gharib, IMO. She was always so deferential as she pitched softballs at those titans of finance (many of whom are now de-titanized).
"I'll repeat: people on this board tend to say a post is "too political" when it is political belief they personally disagree with."
@LewisBraham- Yes, that's exactly my take also. These very same people have no qualms about starting a contentious …
@Edmond- Hey, I realize that we don't see everything eye-to-eye, but I appreciate your ability to see things from different perspectives without throwing hand grenades. I prefer to not to initiate contentious discussions, but if someone else starts,…

The answer is "No!" If you simply click on "Fund Discussions" under "Categories" in the box to the left on the main page you will never even see …
"Infrastructure needs to be repaired. But, as to job creation, I'm not sure it does much. Building roads etc to create jobs is a holdover from the depression when there was less mechanization."
