Well it seems I made a change to my podcast feed address, and just like that, the original feed I published last week won't work any more.
In case you are really interested in financial / economic matters I'll invite you to subscribe to the feed yet again. Maybe in the future I'll see if I can get this feed published in iTunes but for the time being you can manually load it in yourself or just subscribe through the link below.
If you recall the first episode was a minute long ramble about nothing. Going forward the subject matter will be a somewhat focused free-thought on the economy, finance, markets, and investing. I'm not an academic but I feel like I have something worthwhile to say. Enjoy!
Here's another fantastic interview with Congressman Ron Paul, MD on the Democrat's plan for health care reform, the individual's right to health care, and the costs of a governmental single-payer system.
"They've never been right on projections of medical programs," referring to his colleagues in Congress, "they're always off by 100%, 200%. It always costs a lot more."

...and while I'm at it check out his answers to the economy and what he would and wouldn't have done had he won the presidential races rather than Obama.
By the way, I know I haven't been providing monthly stock picks as I have in the past. This is mostly because I want to come up with a better way to do it. I have however been following up on my picks from last Spring and Summer.
I had a few months of horrific picks (Oct '07, Nov. '07, Jan. '08, & May '08) but as my mindset on the economy started to change as the summer kicked in last year my selections started beating the market as they did before the crisis. I'm fairly proud of that even though I too got sucked into the decline thoroughly in the very begging peaking with my terrible results from my January 2008 selections which dropped a combined 52.3 percent.
Take a look at my final results for the months, May 2008, June 2008, and July 2008 and you'll see a nice gradual return to my beating the market. Even in all of the subsequent months since July 2008, which still remain active, I'm beating the overall market, that's seven months of selections in a row. My choices definitely look pretty good despite the complete market collapse in the Fall of 2008. :)
One day in the hopefully near future I'll iron out a new way of tracking my stock picks. When that time comes I'll let you know here.
A little over a week has passed since I last offered the dire outlook for the American dollar as posed by the misc people who produce quality YouTube videos. That video posed the possibility of hyperinflation. This video via Yahoo's Tech Ticker is another along the same lines. Though it doesn't talk specifically about the consequences of current policy it does discuss Ron Paul's attempt to audit the fed. This makes sense to me as I am an auditor by trade and especially since these are extreme times economically. Ron Paul has been warning of these kinds of actions for years now and it's interesting to see him getting more and more publicity as I think many people are finding his thoughts to be plausible.
In a related note, Peter Schiff is considering running for office for the 2010 Senate elections. This just goes to show us that the credibility of those that warned us of financial disaster is growing day by day.
