June s*cks in stockmarkets. There is gloom and doom on bubblevision (CNBC, etc.)
The Dow is now below its year opening — but not by very much. The green line is the year’s opening.
It’s been choppy, but not surprising. There’s guessing on the Fed’s interest rate moves — there’s the old mantra– “Don’t fight the Fed.” China is slowing. Greece’s latest bailout proposal is not “credible.” England is talking about pulling out of the EU. The banks are cutting back. HSBC is firing 50,000 people (most of whom hate their jobs). Stockmarkets worldwide (except China) are falling.
Apple’s developer hoopla didn’t excite and the stock is sliding. My largest position. Yuch.

Harry Newton who has been on hold with the IRS for over an hour and a quarter. They keep telling me they value my business. Makes me feel good.

The IRS values your business…What a joke…As if you have a choice.
There is a much better way to fund the federal government. One that does not punish creativity and production. A tax system that renews our lost Freedom, Liberty, Civil Rights and God Given right to ones production, income, savings and investment. The solution is the FairTax with the bill HR 25 / S155.
