I've lived happily, raised a family, and enjoyed a professional life in Gainesville for over 50 years. The next several years are full of promise.

Stock and Bond Funds Appreciate by $1 Trillion in 2012

My Comments: This whole episode is so mindbogglingly stupid that I simply shake my head in dismay. Yes, I know, hormonal activity is not something easily brushed aside, but this is a man with an allegedly iron will whose self discipline is legendary. But, since this is Friday, I’m still exhausted by the recent election, …
