Kathryn's Reviews > Triangle
by Katharine Weber (Goodreads Author)
by Katharine Weber (Goodreads Author)
Kathryn's review
Mar 13, 2011
Read from March 12 to 13, 2011
This book had so much promise - a historical event, a secret, a consideration of how history is remembered and reinterpreted according to people's personal agendas - but it was just not good. No, the parts about the Triangle fire were great, mostly because the event itself is so compelling, but all the subplots were so, so tiresome. It seemed as if the author had chosen a project that she wasn't skilled enough to complete, so she skipped over all the hardest-to-write parts and tried to write around them with a bunch of cutesy dialog. If you spend most of the book writing in the pluperfect - summarizing all the things that have happened because you don't know how to write them happening in real time - the parts that you do put in the present have to be really good. But they were just painfully stupid conversations about the least important aspects of the story and all the big revelations and reactions and thinking were done offstage. Plus, the secret is easily guessed from, well, the dedication page, but all the details surrounding the secret are left as loose ends because the big reveal is supposed to enough. It isn't. I should have just read a non-fiction book about the fire.

From Publishers Weekly
The horse was Lay Me Down, a tall, scrawny, sick (with pneumonia), abused standardbred mare, with a hostile foal at her heels and a wheezing sigh. The human was middle-aged, also abused (both as a child and in a bad marriage), an AA veteran and the owner of three Morgan horses in upstate New York. The Morgan mare, Georgia, was furious about the new intruder, although, Richards writes, "I blamed myself for creating a monster, a monster named Georgia. All these years of spoiling her, of never allowing anyone else to ride her, of letting her boss me around...." Richards's first book is an engaging, honest and low-key memoir of her love affair with the sweet-natured Lay Me Down and her almost love affair with a fellow named Hank, with many digressions into horse lore as well as life lore. Charming and sensitive descriptions of fiery Georgia; the gallant, lovable old gelding, Hotshot; loyal friend and "horsewoman extraordinaire" Allie; and daily life with animals intersperse with the trials of dating and buying underwear. The end of neither affair is happy, but this is a bracing and likable book, highly recommended for backyard horsewomen and their admirers. (June)

The lessons of love come in many different forms. For Richards, adopting a maltreated horse impacted her life in ways she could not have forseen. Richards adopts an emaciated mare and her foal, overriding the small voice telling her that she already has three horses to care for and a herniated disk. Her experience with her new charges proves profoundly instructive in terms of how love can foster growth of the human spirit and help in overcoming pain and loss. The abused mare, Lay Me Down, proves to be one of those rare creatures that remain gentle despite years of mistreatment, responding profoundly to the kind treatment that is part of everyday life for Richards' animals. Fascinated by the affection this animal accords a stranger, Richards notes the mare's courage and slowly begins to emulate it in her own life, opening up to a love affair and its aftermath and proving to herself that she will not run when life pushes hard against her heart.

Amazon.com Review
Within the limitations of Yambo's handicap and quest, Eco creates wondrous variety, wringing surprise and delight from such shamelessly hackneyed plot twists as the discovery of a hidden room. Illustrated with the cartoons, sheet music covers, and book jackets that Yambo uncovers in his search, The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana can be read as a love letter to literature, a layered excavation of an Italian boyhood of the 1940s, and a sly meditation on human consciousness. Both playful and reverent, it stands with The Name of the Rose and The Island of the Day Before as among Eco's most successful novels. --Regina Marler

Then you have to figure out how to perfect your form when you can't see yourself in the mirror? And then there's wearing pink (not the most flattering of colors if you happen to be undead) and that nagging urge to take a little nip out of the other dancers. And worse of allâ?¦ STAGE FRIGHT!!!

MICHAEL Appleton used his first meeting with Oxford United's players to call for them to stick to their strengths and play without fear.
The new head coach is well aware time is of the essence after starting work on Monday, just over a month before the start of the Sky Bet League Two season.
He is keen to bring in new players quickly, but also wants to get to know those already at the club.
Appleton spoke briefly to the squad to lay out his plans, and the former Portsmouth and Blackburn boss intends to lead by example.
He said: "I told them there's going to be no Robert de Niro speeches. You'll know what my qualities are and you'll see what I'm about over the next days, weeks and months with the professionalism I bring to the party.
"I expect them over a period of time to come and introduce themselves to me and tell me about themselves.
"That's how I work. I always have an open door and I'm quite an easy guy to get on with as long as you do your job properly.
"I just want the players to express themselves.
"Whatever qualities they bring to the team – do it without fear.
"Whether you're someone who defends well, a good passer or like to attack people, stick to your strengths and relax."
Dave Kitson is the only U's player who has worked with Appleton before, when the pair were at Fratton Park during the 2011-12 season.
The rest will have to learn how the new boss wants to play, their first outing coming with the start of the pre-season games at Farnborough this Saturday.
Appleton believes his sides have a track record of attractive football but also acknowledged there was a need to be pragmatic.
He said: "Most people are going to say 'I want an open brand of football'.
"They use all the right words and to be fair, with 90 per cent of them, that is what they want.
"With my background I think the majority of sides I've been with have always played good football.
"But on the other hand, you have to find a way to win.
"There will be occasions between November and January where the weather isn't fantastic and there will be situations where we need to find a way to win when we'll have our backs to the wall.
"Hopefully we have enough personalities and strength of character to do that."

Above: the indispensable, wonderful gift, a book that always should be a book and not merely an e-book:
The Last Lion: Winston Spencer Churchill
1. "A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty."
2. "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."
3. "If you are going through hell, keep going."
4. "Play for more than you can afford to lose and you will learn the game."
5. "Continuous effort – not strength or intelligence – is the key to unlocking our potential."
6. "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts."
7. "Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference."
8. "Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen."
9. "Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things."

Oakland Athletics: Dan Haren and the A's agreed to a four-year contract that will keep the right-hander locked up through his salary arbitration years.
Haren, acquired in the offseason from St. Louis in a trade for left-hander Mark Mulder, will be under contract through the 2009 season with a club option for 2010.
Haren is 13-12 with a 3.81 ERA in 33 starts with the A's this year, ranking eighth in the American League with 210 innings coming into Monday night. After starting the season 1-7, Haren has gone 12-5 with a 3.40 ERA in his last 23 starts, including a nine-game winning streak
earlier in the year. The A's won 14 straight starts he made from May 31 to Aug. 7, tying Chuck Dobson's club record set in 1971.
Haren, who pitched parts of two seasons with St. Louis, has a career record of 19-22 with a 4.19 ERA.
General manager Billy Beane likes to lock up his young pitchers early in their careers with long-term deals to avoid salary arbitration, also doing it with Mulder, Barry Zito, Rich Harden and Tim Hudson.
The A's, who began the night fourth in the AL in ERA at 3.70, could bring back their entire rotation for next season. Zito, Harden and Haren are all signed for 2006, with Joe Blanton and Kirk Saarloos also under Oakland's control.
Boston Red Sox: Left-handed pitcher David Wells will "probably" have surgery in the offseason, The Boston Globe reports.
Wells acknowledged Sunday that he's received three cortisone shots in his right knee, the most recent last week in Tampa.
"You'll never know if I do get another," Wells told the paper. "And I don't think you should know. Some things are sacred.
"If I get an injection, it's good news for you guys but bad for us, because if the other papers get a hold of it, [other teams] know a guy has a bad leg, they bunt on him. It's advantage, them."
Wells said "something's going on", but declined to reveal what that was until after the season.
Atlanta Braves: Left-hander Mike Hampton underwent Tommy John surgery on his left elbow in New York. Hampton endured an injury-plagued season until doctors finally determined that pain in his forearm was actually coming from his elbow. The operation was performed by Dr. Dave Altchek, the Mets' team doctor. Hampton's relationship with Altchek went back to the 2000 season, when the left-hander pitched for New York. Hampton will miss the entire 2006 season while rehabbing his elbow.
Tampa Bay Devil Rays: His voice cracked. His eyes reddened. Tears welled.
Lou Piniella was so proud of the way his team played in the second half of the season, his emotions bubbled over.
"I got a little emotional, I'm sorry," Pinellia told the St. Petersburg Times. "I just got a little emotional when he said we played over .500. It feels good. I hope we win a couple more. It's [an accomplishment]. I think everybody wrote us off pretty good."
Cincinnati Reds: Ken Griffey Jr.'s season may be over, but he is on the road to recovery.
The Reds outfielder underwent a pair of arthroscopic surgeries to clean out both his left knee and the scar tissue surrounding his right hamstring on Monday.
Reds medical director Dr. Timothy Kremchek performed both surgeries, which took a total of 75 minutes.
Griffey is expected to be fully recovered from his surgeries in four weeks.
A series of severe injuries cut short his last four seasons. The most severe injury happened last August, when he tore a hamstring from the bone. Doctors reattached it using three screws.
Griffey wasn't fully recovered from that career-threatening injury when he reported for spring training, but got better as the season went along. The end of the incision never fully closed, requiring the surgery Monday.
Doctors also cleaned fragments from his left knee, which has been bothering him from time to time over the last three years.
St. Louis Cardinals: Jason Marquis, who was in the bullpen but wasn't used because of Jeff Suppan's stellar start on Sunday, could make a relief appearance Tuesday, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
As the Cardinals try to set their playoff rotation, Marquis will be in the bullpen with the potential to start Saturday against the Reds, the paper reported.
"We'll see what happens Tuesday," pitching coach Dave Duncan told the Post-Dispatch. "If [Marquis] can get a couple innings on Tuesday, that would line him up for Saturday and then we'll see what goes from there."
Matt Morris is scheduled to start Tuesday, Chris Carpenter Wednesday and Mark Mulder on Friday. Suppan does not have another start scheduled, although he is also an option Saturday, the paper reported.
Los Angeles Angels: Available tickets for AL Division Series games at Angel Stadium sold out in 45 minutes.
The tickets were sold through the Angels' Web site and Ticketmaster's phone lines. The Angels didn't announce how many tickets were made available, saying only there were several thousand. A limit of four tickets per game was imposed.
Angels spokesman Tim Mead said plans for selling tickets to the AL Championship Series and World Series will be announced at a later date if the team qualifies.
If the season ended today, the Angels would play the White Sox, with the best-of-five series beginning in Chicago on Oct. 4. The Angels would play a home game Oct. 7 and another the following day, if necessary.
The AL West-leading Angels entered Monday night's opener of a four-game series in Oakland four games ahead of the Athletics and can clinch the division title by splitting the series.

I have been treated for sinus infection but pain is still here. Almost feels like I am clinching my teeth or applying pressure with my jaws all the time
Is it possible for pristig to cause pain in jaw and cheeks like sinus pain?

Hey 1969roadrunner,
I take Pristiq and it has not caused me to clinch or grind my teeth. This is not to say that it couldn't. Have you been on the Pristiq for long? Clinching of your teeth can be an indication of a dental problem. If the problem persists I would discuss this issue with the dentist. To learn more about teeth clinching try the following:
Best wishes,
4 Sep 2011
Yes, it is possible that Pristiq is the cause of your jaw clenching, as it's a rare side-effect of the medication. It can also cause anxiety, which could be the cause of you clenching your jaw. I've read of several other patients who've had trouble with jaw/sinus pain while taking Pristiq, so I do believe it's possible.
I'd seek a doctor's advice about the problem, and if the side-effect is interfering with your functioning, I'd ask about trying a different anti-depressant.

Tacitus on Germany
Cornelius Tacitus
This book is available for download with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device, and with iTunes on your computer. Books can be read with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device.
The whole of Germany is thus bounded; separated from Gaul, from Rhoetia and Pannonia, by the rivers Rhine and Danube; from Sarmatia and Dacia by mutual fear, or by high mountains: the rest is encompassed by the ocean, which forms huge bays, and comprehends a tract of islands immense in extent: for we have lately known certain nations and kingdoms there, such as the war discovered. The Rhine rising in the Rhoetian Alps from a summit altogether rocky and perpendicular, after a small winding towards the west, is lost in the Northern Ocean. The Danube issues out of the mountain Abnoba, one very high but very easy of ascent, and traversing several nations, falls by six streams into the Euxine Sea; for its seventh channel is absorbed in the Fenns.

MAC Cosmetics Naked Honey Collection
Bees do it… now MAC does it! Honey that is! As ancient and exotic as Kohl, great beauties have long revered the natural restorative powers of the Golden Elixir.
Following the example of their fabled Queen, Cleopatra, Egyptians bathed in honey and milk. Queen Anne of England used it to silken her hair; from the Ancient Greeks to the Roman Empire, honey has never lost its regal, ever-amber lustre. We love the luxury of its sensual essence…but we also know that it's a highly efficient and wholesome humectant and healer. Introducing our limited edition Naked Honey collection – three aspects of golden warmth and sun-made sweetness for the body, layered with two decidedly different honeycomb-derived fragrances – celebrating the secret lives of Queen Bees. Complementary shades of High-Light Powder, Eye Shadow and Lipglass are all the buzz for summer.
Lipglass ($14.00 U.S. / $16.50 CDN)
- She's a Star Light neutral gold
- Queen Bee Mid-tone apricot with multi-dimensional pearl
- Buzz Dark copper brown with multi-dimensional pearl
Eyeshadow ($14.50 U.S. / $17.00 CDN)
- Crème de Miel Frosty light yellow gold
- Pollinator Mid-tone warm reddened peach with pearl
- Buckwheat Dark copper brown with multi-dimensional pearl
High-Light Powder ($24.50 U.S. / $29.50 CDN)
A high-light powder specially created for the Naked Honey collection. It features an embossed honeycomb pattern — super-fine, impeccably pearlized. It creates soft high lights on cheek, brow, shoulders — anywhere on the body.
- Honey Light A light peachy gold with shimmer
- Golden Nectar Muted golden tan with gold shimmer
Naked Honey Skin Salve ($18.50 U.S. / $22.50 CDN)
Formulated from honey, organic beeswax, sunflower oil, and other natural ingredients, this rich honey-scented and flavoured salve instantly moisturizers and helps recondition dry skin. Multi-purpose. Use everywhere.
Naked Honey Hand and Body Cream ($22.50 U.S. / $27.00 CDN)
A sensuous cream made form bio-converted honey, shea butter, and vitamins C and E derivatives. Absorbs quickly for skin-softening moisture. Conditions, nourishes, protects. Use on all areas where ultra-moisture is called for.
Naked Honey Body Wash ($19.50 U.S. / $23.50 CDN)
Formulated from bio-converted honey, this body wash cleanses the skin while providing the soothing and moisturizing benefits of lavender, narcissus, jasmine flower, and blue agave extracts. Provides a sensual, calming, cleansing experience.
Creations: Naked Honey ($22.50 U.S. / $28.50 CDN)
An aromatic journey that traces honey's fragrant heart back to summer's sweetest blooms. Energy starts to buzz, spirits soar, light floral and woodsy notes float toward an electric finale. Sweet and sexy all the way.
Creations: Africanimal ($22.50 U.S. / $28.50 CDN)
A scent that starts with a honey-ness that's seductive and given its dash of pepper, not without spice. Add a dark kiss of bergamot and wood, an aromatic orgy breaks out to create a scent that's all honey but far from sweet.
Available: June 11th, 2009 in North America. July 2009 international.

Bottom dollar: Poor credit conditions have actually boosted demand for rental outlets
IBISWorld's Consumer Electronics & Appliances Rental market research report provides the latest industry statistics and industry trends, allowing you to identify the products and customers driving revenue growth and profitability. The industry report identifies the leading companies and offers strategic industry analysis of the key factors influencing the market.
The Consumer Electronics and Appliances Rental industry has remained relatively flat over the five years to 2014, due to continuing improvements in macroeconomic conditions, as negative economic conditions can translate to increased industry revenue. Additionally, as unemployment slowly declines and consumers gain more income, revenue is expected to fall. In the five years to 2019, the industry is forecast to hit a crossroads. Consumer spending will likely increase during the next five years, and the increase in consumer disposable income will limit industry growth. However, bitter consumer sentiment and tightened credit is expected to keep some patrons renting, aiding rental demand... purchase to read more
The industry is highly capital intensive, with industry operators spending an estimated $1.92 on depreciable assets for every $1.00 spent on wages. This measure does not fully reflect the industry's capital intensity because of the prolonged payback period associated with rental payment structures; more often than not, rental agreements terminate before the customer takes full ownership of the merchandise. Depreciation on rented merchandise accounts for a significant portion of industry revenue, in addition to other industry depreciable assets, such as point-of-sale (POS) terminals, shelving and technology. The significance of depreciable goods to the average industry company's cost structure results in a uniquely high level of capital intensity... purchase to read more
Companies within this industry rent or lease consumer electronics and appliances including DVD players, refrigerators, computers, stoves and televisions. Most industry transactions are through rental-purchase agreements that enable customers to take ownership of merchandise after an agreed-upon rental period. Companies that primarily sell electronics and appliances on a retail basis are excluded from this industry.

Lucy Maud Montgomery was born in Clifton, Prince Edward Island, in 1874. Educated at Prince Edward College, Charlottetown, and Dalhousie University, she embarked on a career in teaching. From 1898 until 1911 she took care of her maternal grandmother in Cavendish, Prince Edward Island, and during this time wrote many poems and stories for Canadian and American magazines.
Montgomery's first novel, Anne of Green Gables, met with immediate critical and popular acclaim, and its success, both national and international, led to seven sequels. More autobiographical than the books about Anne is the trilogy of novels about another Island orphan, Emily Starr.
In 1911 Montgomery married the Rev. Ewan Macdonald, a Presbyterian clergyman, and they lived in Ontario, where he was the pastor of parishes in Leaskdale and, later, in Norval. They retired to Toronto in 1936.
Lucy Maud Montgomery died in Toronto in 1942.
"Aficionados of the auburn-tressed waif will find Anne of Green Gables lavishly illustrated."

Product Description
From Library Journal
From his Russian-Jewish, New York City roots through his prolific working years as lyricist for such successes as the film The Wizard of Oz and Broadway's Bloomer Girl and Finian's Rainbow, E. Y. ("Yip") Harburg seemed ready for anything but the McCarthyism that blacklisted him in the 1950s for his associations with certain groups and his avowal of "democratic socialist" ideals. Illustrated with lyrics from his entire output, this admiring title adds to the literature on the history of the Broadway musical the perspective of an accomplished wordsmith who collaborated with major composers like Harold Arlen, Burton Lane, Vernon Duke, and Jerome Kern but whose own name has been less well remembered. A worthwhile addition for large musical theater collections.
- Bonnie Jo Dopp, formerly with Dist. of Columbia P.L.

From Booklist
"Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?," "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," "How Are Things in Glocca Morra?" and "April in Paris" are some of the most beloved songs of the American musical theater. Their lyricist, Yip Harburg, was, like so many of his peers, the son of Jewish immigrants, Russian in his case, who settled on the lower-east side of Manhattan. Inspired by the theater at an early age, he did not begin his career until he was in his thirties and had spent a stint managing the family business--an experience he detested. One of the songsmiths who changed the American musical from the revue format into a so-called book show in which song and dance became media for telling a dramatic story, Harburg's most famous collaborators were Harold Arlen, his partner in 111 efforts including The Wizard of Oz, and Barton Lane, with whom his most famous product was Finian's Rainbow. This biography benefits from the collaboration of Harburg's son Ernie; plenty of pictures; appendixes of Harburg's stage, film, and broadcast credits; a list of his song titles; and lots of quoted lyrics.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
Yip Harburg - lyricist for Finian's Rainbow, Bloomer Girl, and Wizard of Oz, as well as a metric ton of standards in the American songbook - ranks with such colleagues as Ira Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Johnny Mercer, and Lorenz Hart. Unlike most of his rivals, he had mastered the old French "trick" verse forms like villanelle, triolet, and rondeau. His lyrics tend to read well, even without their tunes.
Contrary to popular opinion, however, he did not introduce sophisticated wit into the American lyric. That tradition went back to P. G. Wodehouse's contributions to Kern's Princess shows, at least. What he did bring in was a concern for social issues (his first big hit was "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime"), a unique fancy, and a gallon of knockabout humor. He mastered the comic song, as "Lydia, the Tatood Lady" for Groucho Marx amply shows. He also is probably the classic pop lyricist who pushed metaphor and simile to their limit while keeping the breezy American idiom and without crossing over to the deadeningly Arty.
Meyerson and Harburg (Yip's son) do a great job of laying out the roots of the political and cultural movements Yip came from. They do a bang-up job analyzing lyrics without getting too technical. They also include an addendum, written by Yip, on "cosmic mysteries." Harburg came to a hard, realistic atheism early and stuck with it, but he was a dreamer by temperament and by conviction. Consequently, there's an interesting tension throughout the chapter that lifts it above the trite and New Age-y. It's also funny as hell.
The only reason I don't give this book 5 stars is because I can't bring myself to mention it in the same breath as Anna Karenina. However, it's still a wonderful book on one of our best song poets.
Every time I mention Yip Harburg in a conversation and get "Who?" in response, I offer to loan them this book.

Staid here 4 nights on three different occasions during our 19 days trip in Alaska. This was the only hotel that was not OK. The staff are friendly and helpful, but the rooms are dirty and worn out. The windows and curtains looked like they have not seen water in the last couple of years. If the hotel had not been prepaid we would have left it after the first night.

Accutone Pavo
" I've worked with Accutone IEMs before. However, I've never been so thoroughly satisfied a product of theirs. Almost every build-quality complaint I've had before lies dead at the feet of the Pavo, and the sound quality is a head above even their flagship IEM, the Gemini HD. I must ask myself: was is smart for Accutone to release such a good earphone for just $51? As of..." --Cinder
Ultimate Ears 200vi Noise-Isolating Headset, Grey
"Introduction - I found these at Wal-Mart (surprisingly), and they were selling for 20 bucks, so i could not turn them down. Design & Build - The design of these earphones are a bit plain. The earpieces have this two-tone, color of matte black and gloss gray. The cable feels very soft and pretty thick. It is not overly thick, and it does not feel cheap to me.

Hi Everyone,
I suspect the crash will occur with the onset of the Iranian War AFTER the election. So we're looking at probably end of December or beginning of January.
This has been my suspicion for awhile now.
I'm already liquidating stocks and will be out of the market except for my options by end of June.
Please see comments US Ambassador made in Israel below that help confirm these suspicions.
Be safe and glta!
My Butterfly might not be set low enough...
Hey FlightNurse
Good point. If Israel gets an itchy finger the fireworks could start before November. (Though they would be angering Pres. Obama who asked them to wait till after the election and lose some of his support.)
Maybe play this by buying some cheap way out of the money SPY Puts just in case.
Hey Olee and Pete
Agree, too many wars and too high a cost in both lives, money and loss of personal liberties.
4 Trillion spent on Wars is the reason US is in economic bad shape.
(Kennedy and Eisenhower warned us that the insatiable Military Industrial Complex was the greatest threat to our democracy. Seems they were right)
Hi Ray, not being paranoid, facts are the drums of war are sounding and getting louder.
Ques. is what do we do with our investments? (And yes Defense stocks may be a good investment.)
However, contrary to popular belief War is NOT good for the economy amongst other things.
Witness were our economy is today.
Remember $24 Oil in 2003, before the Iraq invasion?
Not looking to make this a Political discussion as per tradition on this board frowns on it unless it's specific to investing. Plus we all have our different views and there are other boards for them.
Ques remains, what about our investments if War becomes imminent?
The average stock market drop at the start of the last 2 Gulf Wars was about 20%.
That would take us down 2500 points to approximately 10,000 from where the DJ is today. However, we are most likely to head lower as we get closer to war and the drop would be steeper. Below 10,000.
How do we know if we're getting closer?
Assad being ousted in Syria would be a definite milestone for the war as he is one of the last
of Iran's mideast allies. The US and Allies have knocked off, Afghanistan, Iraq, Egypt, Libya.
When Syria goes they will have effectively militarily encircled Iran. I'm betting it occurs this summer.
First Gulf War Dow went from 3060 in the July 1990 Invasion to 2400 by January 1991.
So I'm thinking I want to be out this summer when Assad goes, either by exile, suicide or murder.
First, I want to Buy Puts in the Diamonds or Spiders at the equivalent of 1000 points below the Dow's closing average. That would gives us a profit of an additional 1000 to 1500 points below our strike.
Could Be Extremely Profitable.
Second, I want to have plenty of dry powder to Buy up the bargains I missed in the last Crash.
As for our beloved AGNC - I think our divvys are safe this year. However, I expect pps changes after December if war becomes imminent.
Hopefully, none of this comes to pass.
Constructive remarks are always welcome. Thank you.
I don't want to sound flip about a war ... I was in one myself.
I am investing primarily for income, so, war or not, I'll stay in the high yield stocks [like AGNC/MTGE] that should produce income regardless of the bullets flying. Actually, war is often good for the home economy. Now, if the pps goes down some, it is of less concern to me as long as the divy's continue; you may not feel that way.
When President Barack Obama met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu two months ago, both sides put on an outward show of unity, but behind the scenes reports indicated the meeting ended with a petulant Obama unhappy with Netanyahu's unwillingness to compromise the safety of Israel by agreeing to delay any attempts against Iran until after the American presidential election.
Whatever form and substance that came with Barack Obama's demands of Israel were apparently insulting enough to Israelis to motivate normally opposing political parties to now unite behind the Netanyahu government. Now that Netanyahu's consolidated power I suspect there may be a shooting war in the ME anytime September onward. Just my opinion (not worth a cup of coffee either!).
Have you heard the phrase: Saber Rattling.
Don't be paranoid. If you believe war is coming, buy defense stocks.
Dont you think that USA had enough wars in last 40 years,and every time you start one you get your ars busted.
The military industrial complex needs a state of perpetual war.
Besides, Israel will be doing the grunt work, and considering they defeated every army since 1948, they have a better track record.
