A moment of pause for 9/11.

The dog would like everyone to take a moment of pause for 9/11. This day is special to the dog as I was in Washington D.C. at that time in the NAVY when those tragic events unfolded. My thoughts and prayers go out............

Thanks to everyone for visiting the site. Feel free to leave thoughts in the comment section.

Will it take years to recover from the economic crisis?

The dog has just finished reading a great paper by Stephen G Cecchetti, Marion Kohler and Christian Upper entitled: "Financial Crises and Economic Activity". It covers an examination of recessions around the world and the economic consequences of those recessions. It is a must read on the BIS website. Here is the report:

The dog wants to point you in the direction of an IMF article. It is entitled "Recession Loosens Grip But Weak Recovery Ahead". Here is the article from th IMF website:

The report is entitled "An assessment of financial sector rescue programmes". Here is the paper for you to read (don't want to read the whole thing........just read the executive summary and you will get the picture):

Why you need to ride the Government sponsored market wave?

Understanding market conditions (why we go up or down) is extremly important in investing. I don't know how to put it any more plain than that. I can't spell it out for you but I hope you make some money off this. Here is a video from CNBC with a trader spelling it out for you:
