The market is closed. That means it's time to do anything except think about the market or the economy. To that end...

OMG, those videos are PRICELESS--Hilarious!. I wish I had a dog. Last Thanksgiving my daughter and I spent hours looking at videos of daschunds and such and found this one which had us howling ourselves.
I guess I'm a Liberal 'cause the GOP has relentlessly worked against me and my family (I'm gay) but I have to say this AIG episode has depressed me.
All the Anger and finger pointing over a measly $170 Million? I don't even know whether it's unfair or not. I dare not mention my opinion to my husband or my neighbors.
I do know this: I've been victimized by management buyouts, mergers, and I've seen too many executives make the claim that they and their employees should be compensated 'cause they're irreplaceable. I've also seen good CEOs get canned by a prima donna board member.
Strengthen shareholder rights, I say. Life is financially complicated and unfair and tweaking with taxes is not going to fix it.
My tax practice is centered around captive insurance. I'm the author of the book U.S. Captive Insurance Law (which is also available on Kindle), the leading book in the field. You can learn more about captive insurance at my website.
I'm on Linked In and Twitter (@captivelawyer). Silver Oz's Linked In name is @silver_oz. NDD is a fossil and may be reached by etching a picture in stone on the wall of a cave.
The Bonddad Economic History Project
At the beginning of 2012, I decided to start looking at the actual, statistical history of the US economy starting in 1950. The reason is simple: to find out what really happened. So, when you see title of a post that begins with a year such as 1957, followed by "employment" or "Fed policy: you know what it's for. You can also access the information by typing in BE for Bonddad econ and a year to find information on a particular year.
Here is a link to pages that contain links to all the posts on the years listed.
This blog contains opinions and observations. It is not professional advice in any way, shape or form and should not be construed that way. In other words, buyer beware.

Love them dogs, Bonddad.
