The Last, last post

Folks the cliff is coming, but this country will not go over it...But we know a few things. Taxes are going up, but not for just the rich. Oh sure it will be reported in such a manner, but the fact is many taxes will go up and they effect many people. Capital gains will go up along with a dividend tax. What does that mean? It means every time a stock owned produces dividends it will be taxed and there are millions of people holding such stocks.

As always we can argue the merits, but not here. I would suggest if you hold a high paying dividend stock, sell it! If you don't, stay away from them. Instead look at commodities as the prices are sure to stay high with the dollar low.

Also, keep watching CNBC, FOX Business, Bloomberg.com, Money. come etc. Read them, analyse them, but never, never take them for the gospel.

Good luck and happy investing.

I am not sure how many folks read my blog, but I have enjoyed putting items together. The one challenge I had was trying to keep this a non-partisan site, but it wasn't easy. The fact is, being a good investor means analyzing politics, but at the same time staying neutral.  An investor is not deciding what policies are right or wrong, they only need to know what it means.

Hopefully, I have offered some ideas on how to do that.  We are certainly venturing into uncharted waters economically, the question is where is it leading?  Keep your eyes and ears open, soak up information and remember, make your money work for you.
