Survival And Prosperity

Quote For The Week

In the 40 years I’ve been working as an economist and investor, I have never seen such a disconnect between the asset market and the economic reality… Asset markets are in the sky and the economy of the ordinary people is in the dumps, where their real incomes adjusted for inflation are going down and asset markets are going up.

Something will break very bad.

-”Doctor Doom” Marc Faber, Swiss-born investment adviser/fund manager and publisher of the monthly investment newsletter The Gloom Boom & Doom Report, who became famous for advising clients to get out of the U.S. stock market one week before the October 1987 crash and for predicting the 2008 global financial crisis (among other calls), in an interview published on The Globe and Mail (Canada) website on May 8, 2013

Quote For The Week

While I was at my family’s Wisconsin home the other week, I grabbed my April issue of MidWest Outdoors, a monthly magazine that focuses on fishing, hunting, and camping in the Midwest.

From one of my favorite sections, “Short Shots and Small Catches”:

A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and you don’t have one, you probably won’t ever need one again.

Quotes For The Week

A two-fer for you this week:

The affirmative task we have now is to actually create a new world order, because the global order is changing again, and the institutions of the world that worked so well in the post-World War II era for decades, they need to be strengthened, and some need to be changed.

-U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, at last Friday’s annual conference of the Export-Import Bank of the United States

We have never invested as much in public education as we should have, because we’ve always had kind of a private notion of children- your kid is yours and totally your responsibility. We haven’t had a very collective notion of these are our children.

So part of it is we have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents, or kids belong to their families, and recognize that kids belong to whole communities.

Once it’s everybody’s responsibility and not just the household’s, then we start making better investments.

-Melissa Harris-Perry, a Tulane political science professor and host of the MSNBC show Melissa Harris-Perry, in a recent MSNBC “Lean Forward” spot

Quote For The Week

It’s hard to completely trust any government that reserves the right to assassinate me (or you) with a robot airplane. So it’s no wonder that many people are skeptical about the government’s economic data.
