Review
"This book is like Mal - who is a rider, a rocker and a rebel. He doesn't just think outside the box - he drags it behind his Harley on a cross-continent adventure and then runs over it a few times for good measure. The Bay and Wall Street guys are gonna hate it - Main Streeters should embrace it. One ton of fun!" BJ Del Conte Chase Producer, BNN - Business News Network Business Producer/Anchor - CP24-

Will demographics worsen the debt crisis?
In prior postings, I’ve illustrated that a by-product of the financial mayhem in recent years has been shrinking employment in the financial services sector. It got me thinking – perhaps there’s more to it than just the single volcanic-like eruption ignited by the … Continue reading

Research in Motion TOP PICK? Is the guy whacko?
Who in their right mind would suggest Research in Motion as their TOP PICK for 2012? There’s no shortage of controversy to be sure surrounding the company. Yesterday I sat with good friends, man and wife, and SHE (Rayla) thought … Continue reading
