AIG shareholders aren't just paying interest on its own bailout, they are paying (paid) hefty interest charges on the bailout of the most connected entity in the history of finance, the VAMPIRE SQUID, Goldman Sachs!

A complete & thorough explanation of how many (if not most) levered college diplomas are overvalued assets with fictitious values - that's including you too HBS and the ivy league! No wonder the education bubble in the US is about to collapse.

Truly ironic - anyone receiving a REAL business/finance education would be able to run these rudimentary calculations themselves, thereby invalidating the very diploma they are seeking

In May Of 2010, I published a series of reader contributions on the cruise line industry as well some proprietary research on a particular company in said industry - Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. The consistent, globally synchronized flood of money totally distorted market pricing and risk in public equities - thus often distorted practically applicability of hard core fundamental and forensic research.

You may not have agreed with everything that I said, nor may you have particularly liked it (many hated it) but for the most part the more controversial stuff proved to be rather prescient. 

Watch as it is clearly demonstrated how a Galaxy Note 2 (Android) serves as a complete replacement for a desktop PC... and to think that many believe this is a race with Apple, a vendor of trendy mobile trinkets! Investment is more than just spreadsheets and numbers!

You can now get gold ingots at ATMs, and physcially trade physical gold through brokerage accounts, but is it too little too late? Let's look browse through the facts...

The Bernanke Banking Put enriched the banks, extended the unemployment line, and created a margin call in the retail specialty sector. All in a days work.

Isn't it amazing that you can get more notoriety for showing your ass and a pretty smile than you can get for outing the scam of the decade through intellectual analysis? More money was lost through the Facebook scam IPO at $38 than Bernie Madoff could ever have pulled off.

So, do we BTFD or do we realize that the dip hasn't even arrived yet? What a dilemma? Let's turn to the facts & the fundamentals for the answer... I know, blashpemy!!!

It would appear that many are lookng at the Greek serial default debacle as a muppet wearing Goldman-tinted gold colored glasses. Here's a more realistic view, complete with the math to back it up!

Now that it's nearly impossible for naysayers to downplay or refute the most contrarian research of the decade, what's next? #MARGINCOMPRESSION!

Exactly as I promised at the beginning of the year, more haircuts for a country that will receive bailouts in the form of more unsustainable debt that will be defaulted on in the near future. It's simply math, yet so few seem to get it.
