It is usually the roughest road that leads to the heights of greatness. - Ziad K. Abdelnour

Almost every Fed chairman in the past 60 years has manipulated
interest rates to brighten the economic outlook for incumbent presidents
or newly elected presidents who won by large margins. The
purchasing power of the U.S. dollar has fallen 94 percent in the past
100 years. The only way you can create inflation is by creating more
money that is backed by the same reserve assets; the Fed is the only
entity that can create more money. Ben Bernanke’s quantitative easing
(QE) programs have pumped billions of unfunded dollars into the
economy, thereby setting us up for massive inflation in the very near
future. If this isn’t a form of financial terrorism, it is incompetence of the highest order.

Those who are skilled in combat do not become angry. The wise win before the fight and the ignorant fight to win.

Life is like a camera. Focus on what's important. Capture the good times, develop from the negatives. And if things don't work out, just take another shot.
