I have been asked by a number of friends if I have fallen off the edge of the earth. No, that’s only the U.S. economy and the stock market. I am here, busier than ever. I have a lot to post and will be again making regular idiotic rants beginning this week. Thank you to all my wonderful friends who have wondered if I had given up. NO! I have not. In the words of Arnold, "I'll be back."
