  1. “Oh for f*cks sake. Is this all you guys do all day? Sit around counting your money?”

    some days we only count what’s left of it.

    What are you doing today? Baking cookies?

    We will only know for sure after the November elections (actually, if DC becomes Veto City, maybe not until 2012), but things are looking good.

    In case you do not, I urge you to check out web sites and blogs such as Powerlineblog, Ace of Spades Headquarters, and HotAir.com to get an idea of what’s really going on; if you’re still getting your news from old media, it might not be that obvious; also talk radio such as Hugh Hewitt and Dennis Prager’s shows. I’d say Rush, too, but many people have an irrational dislike of RL; he’s not really my cup of tea, even if he’s a brilliant communicator…

  3. I ran into a site the other day that will combine all your investment portfolios into one. If they can get into them. OK, so there are a lot of sites that can do that. But what I dig about this one is that it pulls together a lot of stats about the entire portfolio. Here’s what it gives me:

    Portfolio Stats & Ratios
    P/E 13.2
    P/B 1.9
    ROA 9.4%
    ROE 22.0%
    PEG 0.2
    EV/EBITDA 6.2
    Beta 1.0
    Dividend Yield 2.6%

    Since I’m definitely looking for yield the 2.6% is good, and the beta of 1.0 says I’m not over-reaching.
