– crossingwallstreet.com
With the end of the year, I was updating some of my data files, and I came across this stat. Over the last 20 years, the Dow gained 253.49% on Monday and Tuesday combined. But it lost 3.67% on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
That’s extraordinary.
That’s extraordinary.
ISIS: The 'Enemy' The US Created, Armed, & Funded

Submitted by Robert Fantina via TheAntiMedia.org, Out of nowhere, it seems, Daesh, also commonly referred to as ISIL or ISIS, spontaneously formed, a group that perverts aspects of Islam for its own violent ends, and threatens, we are told, all that the civilized world holds dear. The “war on terror,” governments inform their citizens, has a new front…

Blaming Others: Reflections on "The Big Short"
– globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com
Reflections on “The Big Short”I have not yet seen “The Big Short” movie. Everyone tells me it was excellent. I intend to see it, but I already know what happened in detail, how, and why. The Fed has not yet admitted its role, nor have banks, nor have the rating agencies, nor has Congress with its ludicrous affordable housing programs, nor has Bush with the “Ownership Society”…
Bah humbug to ridiculous year-end financial advice

It’s that time of year when the media is filled with all manner of terrible investing advice:
“10 ETFs to own in 2016!”
“Give up lattes to get your budget in order.”
“The stocks/sectors/countries you MUST invest in!”
“Who was the best mutual fund manager of the year?”
“10 ETFs to own in 2016!”
“Give up lattes to get your budget in order.”
“The stocks/sectors/countries you MUST invest in!”
“Who was the best mutual fund manager of the year?”
And that’s before we even get into the forecasts by some guru who is purporting to tell you where the market and economy and Apple and oil and gold and your favorite stock will be next year…

My kitchen sink has been looking so dingy. I’ve cleaned it, sure, but it was really in need of a deep scrub and I didn’t want to relay only on elbow grease to make it shine again. I noticed how many tiny stains were starting to accumulate but I didn’t have anything on hand besides regular kitchen cleaner…
We’re always looking for new ways to get our hectic lives even just a little more organized, so we asked other moms to share their best organizational tools and tricks. From an on-the-go homework station to a raved-about calendar app, these 14 ways are helping moms keep it together.
This year I began a beehive, but didn’t get to harvest any honey for myself. The bee population outgrew their home and I lost half my bees. The remaining ones only produced enough honey for themselves, so I will have to wait until next year. I was looking forward to having my own raw organic honey, honeycomb, and wax products from my own hive…
Many investors believe that rebalancing enhances returns by automating the “buy low, sell high” process. As Michael Kitces explains this week, that’s not usually the case — but rebalancing is likely to be a good idea anyway.

Getting out and meeting other new moms is a crucial part of the intro to motherhood equation, but it can be a mind-opening experience. It’s kind of a crazy social experiment, when you think about the construction of a “mommy-and-me” group for women with newborns. It’s a circle of people with nothing binding them except for the new additions to their families, and you’re all operating on limited sleep and maximum hormones…
