Invest Yourself – Roaches, Never Just One

Free Investment Newsletter | Invest Yourself: I really like what they (Robert B. Rinear) say on the currency. That all seems very very true.  The currencies in the world are all crap.

Is there really a debate as to whether humans are contributing to Global Warming? This will take you some time, so if you are looking for a couple quick sound-bites, skip this entire post, and absolutely, skip the videos. Dr. Patrick Moore was recently pointed out to me as a qualified scientist and a active skeptic of Global Warming. Read about Moore on Wikipedia. He was an active founder of Greenpeace, but left the greenie…

Climate change: Sea ice, global cooling, and other nonsense

Climate change: Sea ice, global cooling, and other nonsense: I was rather pleased in my travels last week to get a glimpse of the news that the Arctic ice caps had been expanding again.
