How A Small Business Can Perform Like Wynn Resorts

wynn

Steve Wynn, the founder Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ: WYNN), spoke yesterday on their quarterly conference call. The average investor does not listen to them. Most quarterly conference calls are a snoozefest, but not this one where the fireworks were going off. Its been known that Steve Wynn, who voted for Obama, despises President Obama’s policies. Unlike [...]

History Doesn’t Repeat, But it Rhymes

Morgenthau Henry Jr.

Who said this the following quote?

We Don’t Have A Revenue Problem, We Have A Spending Problem

obama

President Obama gave a speech today related to the stalemate in Congress, and the artificial debt limit (see my previous post A US Debt Limit that’s Unlimited?!?). Obama once again went on his typical class warfare, and stated the rich need to pay more taxes. Even though he’s late to the negotiations party, and wasn’t [...]

It Does Not Pay To Be Responsible

Anthony Weiner

In the past few years, I’ve come to the conclusion it does not pay to be responsible. I’m about as honest as they come, I don’t lie, cheat and have some high code of conduct and ethics. This is not only for myself, but what I expect from others. I’ll give a few anecdotal examples [...]

Why Should Public Sector Unions Be Treated Differently?

Hitler Unions

I have never been in a union, and if any company I worked for required for me to join one, I would leave in a heartbeat. As an entrepreneur, I find it foreign why someone would ever want to work for one, and is the antithesis of owning a business. I prefer to get paid [...]

The Most Important Thing To Consider When Voting

Pumpkin Pie

November 2nd 2010 is Election Day here in the United States.  By some accounts it’s considered a very important mid-term election. Regardless of your political beliefs and whom you vote for, I suggest to go vote. Too many people don’t vote, and don’t realize how fortunate we are living in the United States. There are [...]

The Senate Passed a Critical Bill

just-a-bill

I’m so proud of our Congress and more specifically our Senate.  Before they went away on recess for the November 2010 elections, the Senate had the time vote on a very important bill.  Was it to keep some or all of the Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 that are set to expire at [...]

Obama Educates His Children About Finance

obama-money

The AFP and ABC News have a puff piece about Obama eyes babysitting duties for daughters.   Implying somehow Obama still lives a regular life now that he’s president.  While I commend that he is trying to educate his children on how to manage money, I also find it ironic based upon his government spending policies.  [...]

Will The Wealthy Donate Less Because Of Health Care?

Robin Hood

Here is an interesting statistic.  America donates annually more money than any other country (the link also has some other interesting stats).  Our European counterparts are not even close.  This has gotten me thinking about our procession to create more entitlements.  Now that the health care bill has passed, will this cause the wealthy to [...]

Life Isn’t Fair. Now Get Over It.

tongue

Lets deal with one of the more common realities of life.  If there isn’t an axiom more self-evident than that life isn’t fair.  It never has been throughout the history of mankind, nor will ever be.  No matter how much others try to make right with what’s wrong in the world.  Life will still be [...]
