View from America
March madness for stocks
March happens to mark the anniversaries of one crash, one rally, and one supremely sane company's IPO.
Greece paint
As the financial make up crumbles in Greece and the other PIGS, the US can learn an awful lesson about the perils of cheap money.
The Grinch that stole Chanukah
A year on, unwitting victims of Bernie Madoff still suffer, while the lawyers enjoy the pickings. A seasonal lesson.
Thank you, Dubai
Your obnoxious adherence to the Arab boycott made Chanukah come early for the Israelis.
Help wanted
The aid being poured into the US economy is not accompanied by a clear job creation strategy.
Death, taxes, and aliya
A quirk of US tax law means you can die without your estate paying tax, but only in 2010. After that, you need another exit strategy.
