Rising Interest Rates Clobber Investors as Stocks Collapse?
Utter nonsense. But can you spot the “charitable” word in my headline? The key word here is the word investors. Most financial market participants, whether professional or amateur, are not investors at all. Rather they are more akin to Vegas-like speculators. Real Investors have a long- term game plan based on compound interest, cash flow, balance […]
No Place for a Mob in a Constitutional Republic
Democrats, along with members of the media, need to dial back the rhetoric, urges David French in NRO. There is a yawning legal and moral gap between First Amendment–protected activity, no matter how angry and boisterous, and a true mob. Screaming protesters picketing on a sidewalk are in a fundamentally different position from screaming protesters […]
Report Cards Are In: Grading Your Governor
You want to read Cato’s 14th biennial Fiscal Report Card on America’s Governors, produced by Chris Edwards—director of tax policy studies and editor of www.downsizingGovernment.org. There’s no hiding from the teacher in the school of fiscal responsibility.

Don’t Manage Your Money Like This
In September of 1992, I outlined the tragic story of a MLB slugger, Jack Clark who had misspent his money and wound up in bankruptcy. I wrote: It’s Time for Bankruptcy Not for you of course. No, I’m writing to you about bankruptcy for Jack Clark, Boston Red Sox slugger, but this story carries a […]
Spartacus Was a Hero, Not a Malignant Buffoon
In the WSJ, Peggy Noonan writes about the Brett Kavanaugh hearing and how Sen. Susan Collins (ME) redeemed the undignified debacle. In her remarks announcing her vote, she showed a wholly unusual respect for the American people, and for the Senate itself, by actually explaining her thinking. Under intense pressure, her remarks were not about […]
F-35 Fleet Grounded after Crash
It was a mistake cancelling the twin engine F-22 program. The funds had been sunk so to speak. And then it was cancelled in the ninth inning. Talk to any pilot and he’ll tell you two engines are better than one. Now, the inferior single-engine F-35 is grounded because of another problem with its balky […]
Can Small Town America Be Saved?
The American Conservative recently printed a version of a speech given by Bill Kauffmann. He was speaking at “Revitalizing Jackson’s Main Street,” an event held by The American Conservative in Jackson, Michigan in September. Kauffmann is a prolific author, and in his book Dispatches from the Muckdog Gazette, he focuses on small town America. In […]
Clinton/Ocasio-Cortez Want to Scrap the Electoral College
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Hillary Clinton, to name two, are advocating scrapping the Electoral College and implementing a direct democracy. Yet as Roger Kimball outlines in Spectator.us, our country’s Founders feared the encroachment of the mob and constructed the EC as a buffer between that ‘blunt monster with uncounted heads/the still-discordant wavering multitude’ and its leaders.

LVMH: One of My Favorite Companies in the World
Next week I am heading to Paris to spend two weeks visiting LVMH retail locations in Paris, and each of the Palace Hotels, as well as the vineyards of Burgundy. In the case of LVMH, the company controls one of the world’s best portfolios of luxury clothing, Champagne and liquors. It is virtually unrivaled. The […]
