Great video about Steven Johnson’s book Where Good Ideas Come From:

The Natural History of Innovation. I’ve always felt there there is value in connecting with other traders. With the right mix of people, trading in a group setting increases innovation and trader profitability.

Some Historical Perspective on the US Economy

The reason our economy grew in the 50's and 60's is because production world wide (except in the USA) was destroyed in WWII. To rebuild everybody needed to buy from US. In spite of high taxes we grew. Times are much different today.

How to grow jobs in America

I heard a good one today, for every year that unemployment doesn't go down or doesn't stay below a certain level (let's pick 5%) every one coming up for election in the congress or senate would not be eligible for reelection! Would that solve our jobs and economic problems....You bet it would! - Warren Buffett www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/w/warren_buffett.html http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

This is the best overview I have read as to what the real picture is on our current economic environment:

What U.S. Economic Recovery? Five Destructive Myths http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,2076568,00.html "There may be $2 trillion sitting on the balance sheets of American corporations globally, but firms show no signs of wanting to spend it in order to hire workers at home, however much Washington might hope they will. Meanwhile, the average American is feeling poorer by the week." Until this get's fixed, nothing will really improve since the chicken won't lay the egg and the egg won't hatch the chicken. My plea is that both Business Leaders and Washington come together and show some leadership - who is the adult in the room? Please carry this message and tell whoever will listen.
