Europe's Second Largest Bank Warns on UK Debt Crisis
Any stories like the one below are almost laughable in the current belief system of "everything is too big to fail, and anything on Earth can be bailed out so just buy stocks". But just keeping it in front of you - one day this sort of fundamental issue will matter again. I will keep pushing out the United Kingdon ahead of Japan as the potential "big one" that hits first, since Japan's debt is mostly financed by their own population (who has a high savings rate).

All Waste Equals Lost Profit
Waste hits us twice, notes Derrick Mains. He’s talking of waste that travels through the supply chain, not just the stuff that hits the landfill.
In other words, invisible waste. Companies are attentive to their supply chain, but they need to be watching their waste stream if they want to be competitive, says Mains.

Bizarre Spending Habits
Most people that are familiar with my writings are well aware of my discontent with our government in the way they tax and spend.

The Positive Relationship Between Short Term Rates and the Dollar Index

It’s not the most fascinating topic, but it’s definitely important to know of this relationship, so let’s take a look at a couple of recent charts.
First, a ‘zoomed in’ view of the recent action:

Other People’s Priorities Don’t Have to Be Your Priorities
Kelly writes in:
In the past three months, I’ve paid off all but $2,000 of my credit card debt. I feel happier about my money than I have in a long time. The only problem is that my social life seems to be falling apart.

Bear with me for a second as I go down a bit of a strange road.
I’ll admit it. I’m not a good housekeeper, and neither is my wife.
