    Can anyone realistically generate long-term alpha?

    Nope, apples and oranges. David Swensen, chief investment officer of Yale University, wrote a book that basically said there are two types of investors: those who have the capacity to follow a high-quality active management program and those who don’t. In other words, there are those who can...

    What should Bush say tomorrow

    As leader of the Colonial insurgency against an occupation army, George Washington understood that time and space were on his side. At Valley Forge, Washington grasped an elemental idea.

    Justice Scalia on C-Span

    The very definition of a hypocrite - one that has the gall to insult others for something one preaches or does. Take the Oregon assisted suicide law that Scalia wanted struck down.  Wasn't it a "matter decided by the people" via referendum, as opposed to being "decided by the Justices of the...
