Cusick’s Corner 07-20-2012
Someone just said TGIF and I couldn’t agree more. This has been an interesting expiration Friday, where we never had any upside push and volatility, VIX, actually popped to the upside for the first time in almost two weeks. This makes a statement about what to potentially expect going into the new trading week, with more potential downside, choppy trade pressure. I will be watching the Euro currency to be my early in the week “canary in the coal mine” barometer for … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards

Milton Friedman Responds To Obama’s Claim That There’s No Such Thing As Individual Achievement

President Obama: "Look, if you've been successful, you didn't get there on your own. You didn't get there on your own. I'm always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something — there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there.

If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards
