Mt Fuji is a shy mountain
Leaving behind a very wet Kyoto, having forwarded the heavy luggage to Tokyo we caught the bullet train has the first stage of the journey to Hakone.
Japanese railways run to schedule and there should be a view of Mt Fuji out the window at 10.15. Unfortunately it is cloudy.. No mountain view but we were there on time!

We ate, packed, then made a bunch of tight connections on local trains and made our way up to the ropeway station. The cable car was running, even though there was some wind, and lots of cloud, but we jumped on anyways. Once the cable car made it past the first hill we realized we would not be seeing Mount Fuji at all, due ...
Mt Fuji
Using information gleaned from our Japan by rail guidebook we made our way to Mishima station by bullet train in order to get as close as we could for a good view of Mount Fuji. This time we actually saw it from the train and also got a good view from the bus over to Motohakone. Getting off the bus I took a couple of great photos but then a pirate-looking ship was setting off across the lake and we jumped on that, not realising that that would be the end of our views until ...

"Fun to drive when under 150K miles"
This is a fun car to drive with a lot of power, 292 horsepower to say the least. Body and engine wise, the car is perfect for being over 15 years old, but if it sits then the breaks tend to need some tweaking. This car is a boss on the road and people think your a cop when you drive it and move out of your way. Unfortunatly, the only downfall...

Fab service, really good food, and massive portions. The starters weren't really required as the mains were so flavoursome and well portioned! Would recommend.
First time to this restaurant. We were surprised just how busy it was (and this was mid-week) and were glad that we booked. Service was good although because it was so busy we did find it a little difficult to get the waiters attention and he forgot a couple of things that we had asked for - but not a...
My husband ate here whilst on business trip. One of the best meals he has had in a long while.Recomend to all!
Have just had an evening out with a close friend at Ghandi restaurant. From the genuinely welcoming handshake as we walked through the door to the attentive yet transparent waiting team who were there when you wanted them and unobtrusive when you wanted to talk we had a thoroughly pleasant evening.
The food was of a very high standard, possibly...
Utterly amazing! Business trip, staying in moreton hotel, landlady was very enthusiastic for this restaraunt so i gave it a try. Was seriously underdressed!
This is a top class establishment, not the kind of place i usually bother with however, i walked through the door and was instantly greeted by the owner who made me most welcome. Enjoyed an incredible...
Although my wife is not that keen on Indian foods and have been with me and other friends to various Indian restaurants in UK and around the world during our travel in the past 30+ years, she admitted that she had the best ever meal, service and atmosphere when we visited Gandhi twice during our short stay in Castle Donington....
Ghandis is well worth a visit, great curry and a wide selection. Always a welcoming atmosphere and great banter with Ghandi the owner. Having tried many of the other restaurants nearby whilst working at the airport, Ghandis is the only one I go back too!
A great asian cuisine experience - from the warm welcome and friendly service through to the excellent food and pleasant ambience.
Make sure you head for Gandhi restaurant in Castle D.
The food here is just amazing, we order take away from all the Indian restaurants in Donington and always find ghandis consistently good we thought we would eat in for change I am so glad we did the service, food, atmosphere and price were spot on, definatly choose Ghandi over anywhere hands down I even rate it better then anoki...
Food was tasty, well cooked and portion size was large. Unlike so many Indian restaurants the balance of spices was well judged. Neither too bland, nor so spicy that you could not taste the meat. My tandoori mixed grill was very good indeed. The following night (we returned because the staff were so welcoming) I had a chicken dopiaza that...

As a kid, Austin Netzley remembered being enthralled with the concept of money and promising himself that one day he'd be wealthy. And now, at 28, by most people's measure, he is. He's been an athlete, student, engineer and entrepreneur. And at this point in his life, he considers himself "retired."
If Styles ends up being straight, the implications of his recent statements would be practically revolutionary. At his age, following the "bro" code typically means acting as straight and narrow as possible. How many straight guys are comfortable with being mistaken for gay or bisexual?
The human mind doesn't always work in our best interests when it comes to spending decisions. But the good news is that scientists are trying to tackle the problem -- and uncover how we can retrain our brains to make better choices.
Feminism has become the word du jour. But what's its message? Its goals? Why is it so divisive?
TS Madison has become really popular over the past year. She is a YouTube sensation who recently got her own show on YouTube via World of Wonder. Madison just dropped her first album, so I thought it would be a perfect time for her to be asked "15 Questions."
Dear Justin Simien, thank you for your film Dear White People. Oh sure, it was a bit critical of race relations. But it was smart, funny and energetic. The movie could have been even more trenchant. But it didn't exactly tiptoe through the minefield either.
Black, Asian and Latina women combined barely make up 1 percent of the total number of persons in top positions. White women comprise 14 percent.
My heart belongs to the ladies on 14th Street who stood with me night after night, trying to survive and just be their authentic selves. I cry today for those ladies who are no longer here with us in 2014, but my heart remembers them.
In declaring a state of emergency in Missouri before any actual announcement by the Ferguson grand jury, Gov. Jay Nixon is shedding a valuable light on what happens when a culture of fearful white supremacy can't tolerate dissent, disorder, or difference.
Whether or not Darren Wilson is indicted for his behavior in those 90 seconds, American society as a whole bears indictment for those four hours and thirty-two minutes. That level of disregard for black life cannot be attributed to the actions of one police officer.
My brother and I accepted our mother's version of the affair that produced our sister with few questions, even though Lydia looks completely different from the rest of us. Mom is a long-legged Latina, but my brother and I take after our father. We're both tall blonds. Lydia is petite and cinnamon-coffee dark with tightly curled blue-black hair.
Our daughters will learn from us how to value themselves. Whether we like it or not, we are responsible for what they are exposed to and what they hold up as values while they are young.
What many people don't realize today is that the Kennedy Assassination profoundly shocked the African American community.
The focus of our strategy should not be on what we do or do not do with our military. The principal focus of our "fight" should be on getting the countries in the Middle East, like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, Bahrain, etc., to make the defeat of ISIS their responsibility.
As we honor our friends and family we have lost to anti-transgender violence on Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR), how can we ensure that transgender women of color are leading the LGBTQ anti-violence movement?
Some of us will spend the most time we've ever spent all year round in our kitchens basting, chopping, stirring and hoping that it all turns out well. I thought I'd whip up some dos and don'ts for both hosts and guests.

Of course, not one of your biological children, but rather one of the millions of kids who were Black, Brown, urban, middle class or any number of diverse upbringings who were deeply influenced by your shows and your comedy.
This is not a movie review, a history lesson or a call to action. It is simply a statement of truth.
I could go to painstaking lengths, detailing how deeply offensive and unfunny the repeated and gratuitous use of n**** in the movie The Hangover Part II was, but the damage in large part has already been done. This bell can't be un-rung.
Nevertheless, this much must be said. The use of n**** is not funny, appreciated or acceptable in any context, by anyone who utters it.
Hate crime legislation and the FCC are clear in regards to the word, the rest of us need to be clear too.
I could create a historical time line ranging from Birth of a Nation in 1915 to The Hangover Part II in 2011 and illustrate how n***a is nothing more than the cinematic cousin of n***er and equally offensive when employed as a tool to generate laughs. But let's just keep this simple.
The N word in this movie Hangover wasn't funny becuase I don't remember them saying that word but if I went back and did a search for it, then I would have to ask myself, was it offensive to me and over a million other black people who saw this movie and I would definitely say no. We use the word but if you put an er at the end of the word then you talking about something else so I just want to end this post by saying to all the BV staff N###A please......now that's funny, lol.
I am with you on that. I didn't see the movie? I would I would be offended and uncomfortable to sit in a movie theater to watch this picture. I am tired of white or any color using the "N" Word so loosely. I don't care if it ws comedy, a horror flick, action, whatever, you just don't say those words PERIOD! They will not get my $$$$$ at the box, fo sure! The ending of your comment was funny :-)
BlackRob, what you just said is so ignorant, adding an A doesn't make the word any less denigrating. I suggest you do some research on the history of this word, it doesn't matter how you flip it, it's still a derogatory term towards people of color. Wake Up Young Person.
IMHO (and I had this discussion with another Black man on youtube)no matter how you spell it (-gga,-gguh,-cka,etc)this word is too load and has too much hate behind it to be positive. And it's like a drug. Because you have Black folks from rappers and commedians to everyday Joes who go out on some far fetched limb to justify using this foolishness. Why? Because SOME of them just can't stop. I used to be that way but I grew up. It just sounds IGNORANT. One comedian who did take a stand and was true to his word,was the late great Richard Pryor. When he came back from visiting Africa he swore on stage he would never call another Black man that word. Now if he could stop I know there's hope for the rest of us. We must be the only group on earth who calls each other the word that was created to dehumanize us. Do you think Chinese people run around calling each other "chink"? Or Latinos "spic"? Come on!
Spare me the history lesson of the N word. We as a society have to make our own choices and I didn't find the word to be offensive then that's me, and you can't tell people how, and when to use the word. The N word will never cease to be gone. That's just like saying racism will die. I'm realistic, not young at all, and very educated. I think many of you need to stick to the basics of this blog from the BV staff, if you haven't watch the movie, you shouldn't comment. Also if you really want to go in history, you think Martin Luther King would let any word deter him from accomplishing what he wanted which was unity. Sensitive men and women up on here that are black, you have to understand everybody views on the N word. I know words hurt but believe me violence hurt more, and if you disagree with that, then again n@@@a please....LOL and F everybody who had negative postings on my post.....
You reap what you sow.
Maybe you should give lil wayne a call and ask his opinion.
BLACK FOLKS SHOULD NOT SUPPORT THIS MOVIE. Plain and simple. Learn to SPEAK WITH YOUR WALLETS.
Dear vdog: You left out something very pertinent from your reply. Please also tell black people to stop buying music and comedy that contain the "N" word. If the word is offensive, it's offensive. That means no one should be saying it, no matter their race.
I cringe when a car is crusing by blasting a rap song that sceams that word like a battle cry. But people still buy those cd's, don't they? I'm trying to figure out why a black person would boycott this movie, but will buy music like that. Would really like for someone to explain this to me because it truly defies logic.
Being that the word has been outcasted, this society has to find a way to slide it in for their own pleasure.
i saw this movie loved i aslo herd it use by the asian guy and for a sec i wondered if it would be ofensive to black folks by the way i am black... for myself it was funny the way it was used however im not sure if i would have found it that funny if a white man used it.. im by far racist but being from the south i do sometimes think of the word and how it has been use in a neg man in the south but i must say i can here it use by a black comic or by myself and laugh,,, i also here black comic say white man cracker pink all refering to white folks and yes i laugh i think that it was ment to be funny but its for each person to make the choice as to how strong they feel about the word.. and as for me.. it was all in being funny and i njoy the movie..

Books: The golden shoveller
TRUMAN CAPOTE by George Plimpton, Picador pounds 20
Sunday 22 February 1998
This episode shows that all the qualities that were to make Capote one of America's most famous writers were already present in the precocious second-grader; the energy, the bravado, the self-dramatisation, and the talent for parties that would culminate in the Black And White Ball of 1966, still the subject of awestruck Vanity Fair profiles three decades on. Capote was both sensualist and sensationalist, a prose stylist whose grasp of the dividing line between reality and fantasy was always shaky, and who insinuated himself, with his Court Jester persona and a gift for empathy that verged on genius, into the heart of that rarefied post-war American realm where the Colossi of the arts, high society and politics all met. Plimpton's book doesn't claim to be the definitive account of The Life (that honour rests with Gerald Clarke's 1988 biography), but you can't help thinking that this blizzard of anecdotes, fawning to scabrous, from Lauren Bacall, Diana Vreeland, Norman Mailer and dozens of others, would be the subject's preferred account.
The book can be divided into three phases, paralleling the arc of Capote's career: his Southern childhood and early success in New York; his celebrity apotheosis, with the publication of In Cold Blood and the patronage of the highest of society hostesses, like Babe Paley and Lee Radziwill, sister of Jackie Kennedy, whom he called his "swans"; and his decline and fall, precipitated by Esquire's publication of portions of Answered Prayers, the roman a clef in which he turned on his coterie with gleeful venom, and which rivals Jeffrey Bernard's collected columns as the longest suicide note in history.
Capote was a misfit, an identity he seized on from an early age. He played up his cuckoo nature in a variety of nests, swooshing down the corridors of the New Yorker in an opera cape when he worked there as an office boy, and alarming the good burghers of Kansas with his fey drawl when he descended on them to research In Cold Blood (though he did take Harper Lee along to play the straight man).
Even physically, he presented a contradiction in terms: according to the writer Leo Lerman, he was "a truck driver from the hips down, and a hermaphrodite from the hips up". His various forms of otherness - Southernness, homosexuality, childishness - together with prodigious ability and drive ("there was only one thing he knew he was going to be," says old friend Phoebe Pierce Vreeland, "and that was a writer") placed him at the vanguard of the great flowering of American culture in the Fifties and Sixties. "People were fascinated by the arts, but particularly by literature," says Vreeland. "Truman was right in the middle of it." He proved himself adept at many genres, from the Southern Gothic of his debut, Other Voices, Other Rooms, to a book of travel sketches, Local Color. But it was the invention of the "non-fiction novel" that was to ensure him his place in history.
The chapters of Plimpton's book devoted to the events surrounding In Cold Blood are the most compelling, particularly in charting Capote's relationship with the young murderers of the Clutter family, Dick Hickock and Perry Smith. While the book's juiciest titbit - a claim by a Kansas Bureau of Investigation member that Capote and Smith became lovers in the latter's prison cell - is specious at best, there's no doubt that he'd formed a deep attachment to Smith in particular, yet needed their executions to give the book "closure". Its enormous success, according to writer John Knowles, marked the point where Capote "lost a grip on himself. He started to unravel."
Increasingly, Capote neglected his writing, transferring his energies to penetrating society's upper echelons. The Black And White Ball gave him an entree just about anywhere, and he exploited it enthusiastically, sailing on the Paleys' yacht, staying on Gloria Guinness's estate, lunching with Slim Keith and C Z Guest. The adoration of the "swans" transcended fag-haggery; Capote blended the true outsider's intense fascination for glamour and his seductive charisma into something truly potent. "He was a catalyst," says old friend John Barry Ryan. "He made their lives entertaining."
However, Capote harboured a dangerous ambivalence toward this world, which burst forth in the excerpts from Answered Prayers. He wanted the novel to be Proustian in its sweep, but its transparent maliciousness - "cafe society gossip of the worst kind, but brilliantly done; shit served up on a golden shovel", in the words of art historian John Richardson - served only to destroy the network of relationships he'd painstakingly built. Paley, Guinness, Keith and the rest never spoke to him again. Capote skipped middle age; his prolonged youth seemed to turn overnight into an extended twilight of drink and narcotics, and the last third of Plimpton's book makes grim reading. However, its babel of contradictory voices does justice to a complex and multi-faceted man, while avoiding the desiccated academic thickets in which more conventional biographies flail around. What one takes away from this book are great stories: Carson McCullers forming a Hate Capote Club, and trying to induce Tennessee Williams to join; Peggy Lee recounting a past life as a prostitute in Jesus's time ("I'll never forget picking up the Jerusalem Times and seeing the headline Jesus Christ Crucified"). And that, in the end, may be a more fulsome tribute to Capote, one of the century's greatest storytellers, than the strictest fidelity to the facts.

Leveraged ETFs: Avoid These 40 Funds At All CostsSource InvestmentU.com: Leveraged ETFs: Avoid These 40 Funds At All Costs
by Louis Basenese, Small Cap and Special Situations Expert
You see that ugly 268-point Dow sell off on Tuesday, followed by the 96-point drop yesterday?
Whatever you do, don't panic and run for cover in triple-leveraged inverse ETFs.
They may promise big returns, should the market really falter. But I'm here to tell you that they'll do anything but.
You see, triple-leveraged ETFs (whether long or short) pack a nasty surprise. It's almost unbelievable, actually. And in this volatile market, they're hardwired for losses.
Here's what I mean...
The Nuts and Bolts of Leveraged ETFs
Leveraged ETFs have been around about as long as Hannah Montana (only since 2006).
Given such newness, let's first make sure we're all on the same page about the general mechanics of how they work...
- Exchange-traded funds are constructed to mirror the movement of some underlying index. If the index rises 5%, the ETF tracking it is supposed to rise 5% (before expenses).
- An inverse ETF simply moves in the opposite direction of the index it's tracking. So if the index drops 5%, the inverse ETF should rise 5%.
- Apply leverage, however, and the movements are magnified. So if the ETF uses three-times leverage and the index falls 5%, the ETF should rise 15%.
Too bad the reality doesn't measure up.
Leverage? What Leverage?
Exhibit A: From January to May 15, 2009, the Russell 1000 Financial Services Index fell by 5.9%.
- A long ETF using three-times leverage should have dropped by 17.7% (minus 5.9 multiplied by 3 = minus 17.7%). But it didn't. It plummeted by 65.6%.
- An inverse ETF using three-times leverage should have been up 17.7%. But it sank by 83.4%.
Pick any other period and I promise it will yield similarly confounding results. And the worst offenders will always be the ETFs using three-times leverage.
The question is: Why?
Two Fatal Flaws of Leveraged ETFs
To be clear, I don't detest all ETFs.
Their advantages include...
- A low-cost way to achieve instant diversification and/or access markets otherwise not readily available.
- Unlike traditional mutual funds, they also provide intraday liquidity.
- Daily Rebalancing: Leveraged ETFs don't actually buy individual stocks. Instead, they invest in derivatives. And these derivatives require daily rebalancing in order to match the rise or fall in the index. Otherwise, the leverage ratio for the ETF will be off-kilter. As a result, leveraged ETFs can only be counted on to perform as promised for a single day.
- Compounding Hurts: For years, we've been wooed by the power of compounding returns. If you're 18 years old and invest $2,000 per year for three years (and not a penny more after that), they say you'll end up a millionaire if you simply leave it invested and let compounding work its magic.
Consider an index that drops by 10% on Day 1, then rises by 10% on Day 2.
If you started with $100, the index would be at $90 after Day 1 and $99 after Day 2. Total return: minus 1%.
Now let's take a look at what happens with an ETF that seeks double the return of the index - i.e. uses two-times leverage. Again, we'll assume a starting value of $100...
- Day 1: The ETF would be down 20% to $80.
- Day 2: The value of the ETF would rise by 20% to reach an ending value of $96.
- Total return: minus 4% when it should actually only be down by 2%.
Stocks Are Down... But Don't Try to Take Advantage With These Leveraged ETFs
In case you didn't notice, volatility is back. The average daily change of the S&P 500 is above 1% - roughly double the historical average.
So ignore the headlines pegging leveraged ETFs as "the ultimate hedge for individual investors." The truth is, there's never been a worse time to own them, particularly the 40 triple-leveraged ETFs currently available.
You see, beneath a simple exterior - and the allure of a novel hedging strategy - there are considerable complexities and risks. And unless you think you can predict each of the market's upward and downward moves every day, you'll never get what you bargained for with leveraged ETFs. Heck, even if you could pull off such a feat, the transaction costs would eat your portfolio alive.
I recommend you avoid triple-leveraged ETFs at all costs.
Good investing,

Options Market Myths DeBunked: How to Handle Risk and BrokeragesSource InvestmentU.com: Options Market Myths DeBunked: How to Handle Risk and Brokerages
by Karim Rahemtulla, Options Expert
Alright, let's try to clear a few things up here...
In response to my article last week about selling put options, I received plenty of feedback and questions - most of which brought up options risk and the ability to actually trade options and sell puts in different accounts.
I want to tackle those issues in a public forum, shedding some light on the element of risk, plus the rules and regulations surrounding options trading and brokerages...
How to Handle the "Options Risk Myth"
Since options trading was introduced, the myths and misconceptions about them have been as common as the sunrise.
But let's play some "point/counter-point..."
- Point: Many people believe options are risky. Riskier than stocks anyway. One of the chief reasons given for that risk is that options are time-sensitive. They have expiration dates. And that's often cited as a reason not to trade them.
- Counter-Point: Sure, stocks don't expire. But they can still decline and lose you a lot more money than options. And when you consider that most people don't hold stocks for more than a few months at a time these days, you've just made the case for trading LEAPS (long-term options). LEAPS expire in one, two, or three years - a much longer period of time than most people hold stocks.
In truth, you're always going to have some risk when investing. So no matter whether you're trading options or any other investment, if you're doing so without a specific strategy or just for pure speculation, then of course it's going to be riskier.
When the Going Gets Tough... the Tough Get a New Broker
Now let's deal with how you actually go about trading options. This one is simple...
- Point: You cannot make certain options trades in your account. Your broker won't let you.
- Counter-Point: You can trade just about any type of options strategy in any account - be it a regular brokerage account or retirement. It depends on your level of options experience and the rules that the broker sets. Yep, the broker. Not Congress or the IRS.
It's up to you to ask your broker for permission to make these trades in your account. Brokers like Interactive Corp, Think or Swim, Scotttrade, Ameritrade and Fidelity allow some or all of the trades that I recommend in retirement and non-retirement accounts.
The bottom-line is this: It's up to you to find the right broker for your needs. And if you don't ask your broker to allow you to trade options in your account, then you're hurting yourself. And if your broker says no, then get another broker.
Okay, so what about good and bad trades? And would I trade BP right now? Answers below...
The Pick of the Put-Sell Candidates
Investment U reader Sam R. sent in this question last week:
"I enjoy your comments. I'd appreciate if you could give examples of recent successes and failures of trades you've exercised. Will you use BP as a case for the put-sell strategy now?"
- My answer: Sam, I trade a lot of options, for sure. Recently, when the market headed south for a few weeks, I executed a lot of put-sell trades. The companies I traded were e-Bay (Nasdaq: EBAY), Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT), Intel (Nasdaq: INTC), iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index (NYSE: FXI), Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT), General Electric (NYSE: GE), JP Morgan (NYSE: JPM), Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-B)... and BP (NYSE: BP).
With regard to BP, I sold put options on the stock there, too. Specifically, I sold the October $7.50 puts for $0.50 per contract. As you know from last week's put-selling article, this allows me to buy BP at $7.50 at options expiration in October.
Now, I don't think the shares will get there, but there's always a chance. And the only reason I was able to get $0.50 a contract at the $7.50 strike price (the latter of which was almost 70% below the share price at the time that I sold) was because of the huge uncertainty and volatility in BP shares. But I didn't sell a lot of contracts because I'm not interested in potentially owning a few thousand shares of a company like BP at that price. But I think that the odds are in my favor or I wouldn't have made the trade.
As for losers, they occur, too. I sold some Citigroup (NYSE: C) January 2011 $5 puts, which put my cost around $4.20 at expiration. Citi is currently trading around $4, but there's plenty of time to go on the trade yet.
For much more on the options market and how to execute the various strategies, take a look through our Investment U archives. I'm confident that you'll find they're not quite as scary, complex, or risky as some people would like you to believe.
Good investing,

This is One Tax We Need to RaiseSource InvestmentU.com: This is One Tax We Need to Raise
by David Fessler, Energy and Infrastructure Expert
Thursday, June 24, 2010: Issue #1288
It's a good thing I'm not running for government office... because I'm about to propose higher taxes.
But hear me out before you vote "no" to my article below.
I'm not talking about taxation in general. Like every other American, I'm not in favor of higher taxes. But the type of taxes that I am in favor of are on specific things that...
- we think are undesirable/harmful.
- people use heavily.
~ Federal & State Tobacco Taxes: I'm not a smoker, but there's fairly sound medical data that says smoking is detrimental to your well-being.
Cigarette taxes vary by state. For instance, if you smoke in Missouri, you pay its government just $0.17 per pack in taxes. But Rhode Island smokers pay a hefty $3.46 per pack.
The nationwide average tax for all states is $1.18. Add in the $1.01 the feds charge smokers to inhale and you're talking some serious money.
~ Alcohol: Many people enjoy beer, a decent glass of wine, or single-malt from time to time. But the feds and states tax you every time you do.
However, there's a tax on something that we use frequently... but one that hasn't caught up with the times...
This Road Fund is Running on Empty
With governments scrambling for dollars and unemployment hovering near 10%, new sources of revenue are hard to come by.
So it's more than a little surprising that the federal gasoline tax is still where it was back in 1993: 18.4 cents a gallon.
And it's this tax that helps pay for the building and repairing of roads in the United States. Revenue from the tax is deposited into the highway trust fund.
However, the fund took a huge dive when the recession hit. And the domino effect of the downturn hit the fund, too. Americans started driving less, as many people got laid off from their jobs and/or were generally more strapped for cash.
As a result, current revenue from the federal gasoline tax is much too small to cover existing projects, let alone new ones. In fact, the only way the fund hasn't gone bankrupt is thanks to annual cash infusions from the government's general fund.
In 2010, of the nearly $40 billion earmarked for spending from the highway trust fund, 50% of it will come from general fund transfers and 50% of it from the federal gasoline tax.
And with Congress and the President reluctant to raise the gasoline tax, the funding deficit is destined to continue.
And that's a problem, given the significant cost to build and repair roads and bridges...
You Use It... You Pay for It
The cost to build an interstate varies depending on a number of factors. Most fall between $1 million to $2 million per mile, but Boston is home to the most expensive road in U.S. history, at over $1 billion per mile.
The problem with forking out such huge amounts of money isn't so much the cost itself... but who's footing the bill.
Everyone is paying to build and fix the roads... even if they don't use them.
However, there's a simple solution to the problem: tolls.
Road tolls aren't a revolutionary idea. They're implemented all over the United States. Many major roads and bridges already have tolls - and most of the money collected is used to maintain them.
In my home state, for example, we have the Pennsylvania Turnpike. People who drive on it pay for its maintenance via tolls - and it's a relatively well-maintained road.
But last year, when the state attempted to pass legislation that would put tolls on Interstate 80 - a major east-west route through Pennsylvania - the Federal Highway Administration shot it down.
It cited a rule, dictating that revenue from tolls can only be used to maintain that particular road. And Pennsylvania was going to use it for maintenance funds on some of its other roads - roads that I can personally say are some of the worst in the country.
So should we increase the federal gasoline tax to help pay for new roads and improvements to existing ones? Well, it would serve two purposes...
- It would close the widening budget gap in the federal highway trust fund.
- It would make gasoline more costly. However, given that the average person won't change their routine unless a cheaper alternative appears, installing tolls on roads and bridges that don't have them would also generate essential revenue for state coffers. And people who don't drive wouldn't pay.
A number of states have thrown in the towel and sold off or leased portions of roads, airports and bridges to private companies. In doing so, they receive much needed revenue and get rid of the maintenance.
There are also a number of public companies that own and invest in infrastructure...
- Macquarie Infrastructure Company (NYSE: MIC)
Its energy-related division includes bulk liquid storage terminals and gas production and distribution. It also owns the largest cooling system in the United States, Thermal Chicago, which provides water to over 100 buildings to keep them cool during the summertime.
- Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc. (NYSE: MGU)
So if you wish to gain direct exposure to the infrastructure sector, consider adding a few shares of either of the Macquaries to your portfolio.
Good investing,
David Fessler
Investment U... Extra Innings: Remember when President Obama was campaigning for the presidency and he talked about all the money he was going to spend on improving the U.S. infrastructure?
After 18 months in office, his promises are ringing a little hollow. His stimulus program originally earmarked $30 billion for roads and bridges and $8 billion for high-speed rail. But talk is cheap.
First of all, a high-speed rail network linking major metropolitan areas would cost way more than what he's set aside. It's moot anyway, since a national rail plan doesn't even exist at this point.
Not only that, America's new infrastructure bank has had its $60 billion budget hacked down to a mere $4 billion.
And more importantly, we've seen no new legislation to replace the transport funding law, which expired at the end of 2009. All the White House is doing is prodding Congress to extend it until the end of this year.

Thad Clements staging way back into workforce

(Page 2 of 3)
This much was clear: Clements wanted a break before embarking on a search. Before quitting his job, he had discussions with his personal support network of friends and with professionals — his financial advisor, accountant and lawyer — ensuring that he and his wife were well-positioned in terms of income as a one-career couple. Donna Clements continues to work.
"There was a lot to get done and no need to rush it," Clements said. "I had to make sure I wasn't making the wrong decision, even going into late summer (2011). It was a big decision."
Clements enjoyed his time off and made the most of it. The couple made time for each other and for their friends. They found their orbit extending more to Pittsburgh as they became more active in the arts community — Clements continued his role as a trustee of the Pittsburgh Culture Trust and president of the Dance Council, and his wife, who paints, enjoyed new contacts at galleries.
Two months ago, Clements decided he was ready to go back to work.
"I'm ready to go back, much as I enjoyed the time off," he said. "From an intellectual standpoint, I miss the type of things I worked on — designing a strategy and figuring out how it would be implemented and finding positions for people to take on and be successful with."
He has talked with recruitment firms including Challenger Gray & Christmas and O'Connor O'Connor Lordi Ltd.
Rick Brown, COO of O'Connor O'Connor Lordi, said it's not uncommon for a high-ranked executive to decide to make a career change.
"The ones that tend to be successful are the ones that plan," Brown said.

Man quizzed after Regent Street shop siege
Thursday 13 January 2011
A man is being questioned by police after breaking into a shop in London's Regent Street and threatening to blow himself up.
The 46-year-old was detained following a four-hour stand-off with armed officers at a branch of Accessorize that brought a large part of the capital's centre to a standstill in the early hours of this morning.
Teams of police were scrambled to the shop at 12.20am after an alarm was activated and found the man barricaded inside, claiming to be armed with explosives. They cleared the area while they made contact with him.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "At 5.15am, following negotiation, a man left the building voluntarily and was detained.
"The 46-year-old is currently in custody at a central London police station."
They said a small police cordon is in place but New West End Company, which represents Regent Street, Bond Street and Oxford Street, said workers and shoppers had "full access" to the street.
Chief executive Richard Dickinson said: "It is now business as usual on Regent Street, with retailers and businesses applauding the excellent handling of the situation by the police."
Police inquiries into the incident at the shop, which sells jewellery and other accessories, are ongoing.
