The golden rule is : never short EBAY and never short FNM (this socialist outfit will never go bust).

EBAY: a true worldwide phenomenon and equalizer for the individual to become the CEO of his own corporation... the perfect tool to implement global Laissez Faire... ?

apparently, no less than 69 million people make a living using ebay...

FNM: financial engineering... is this the only weapon left against economic destruction from massive importation of jobs (blue and white collar) ? if so, how long will it last? how to protect oneself against the eventual collapse?

at the very least, some even more interesting times, lie ahead...

Regarding Bush: really scary write up in Barrons, they predict that Bush will pick Bernanke to replace Greenspan.

LOL ! was that Barrons you were reading or the new Stephen
King horror piece ? -gggg

BernanKaput at the wheel... hmmm it makes me wish for the quote...

"I would like to die like my grandfather, peacefully in his sleep, unlike his screaming passengers..."

as for the CPI… I quit paying attention to the CPI some few years ago when they announced certain adjustments to it... I had CPI escalators in my leases... since then, I slowly started inserting the words "CPI or a minimum of 3% -whichever is higher", in the same paragraph to protect me against the non-inflation that has been in effect since then.

A further comment on EBAY: It is amazing that brokers continue to have the high levels of equity for margin requirements when trading EBAY... on the other hand it is nice to see that premiums on options continue to be as high as they are... it makes selling covered calls all that more attractive... As the company grows and continues to conquer new borders, the company simply becomes a better investment...

I am not saying that sound diversification and common sense measure should be used in unison with the above comment...
