Investing and Trading News, with a Contrarian, Sarcastic Twist!
I have two good video clips to leave you with for the next week. I’m heading to Costa Rica for my honeymoon – hopefully the hotel room will have CNBC so that I can still follow the markets. And maybe I can convince the wifey to swing by a coffee or sugar plantation to get […]

Chris Gaffney believes it could soon achieve parity with the US dollar. And I love the statement by Treasurer Peter Costello (courtesy of the Daily Pfennig) […]
