My 2009 Deduction December 19, 2008

No. I am not handing out tax advice nor am I posting my taxes online. By deduction, I mean deriving a conclusion from variables. Or should I say a major variable (singular) plus a bunch of minor variables.

So here it is: The stock market will drop significantly on Tuesday, January 20, 2009.

Why do I say this? Well, Nov 5, 2008, is a wonderful indicator of the negative impact that our president-elect has/will have on our economy.

The stock market plunge was no surprise to me. After all, only 3 out of 4 economists (a mere 75%) said our now president-elect was bad for the economy. His plan for “change” is a plan for ruin. The markets have spoken. Sadly, few are listening.

Please know that I will take no pleasure in being right. I just call ‘em as I see ‘em.

And the Answer Is… December 16, 2008

When my 3rd grade son, finished his math test today, he decided to check it himself. This is not unusual though due to a difficult math day yesterday, I suspect he was hoping to keep me from seeing what he didn’t get right. Through my inquisition I discovered that he had checked it and “corrected” his wrong answers.

I double-checked his “check and correct” and was able to see which ones he had corrected. It wasn’t too bad…until I got to the very bottom on the 2nd page. He found an error and he corrected it. And here it is…

You just can’t make this stuff up!
