		<description><![CDATA[When I said I would not be suprised if the Federal Reserve would lower interest rates I meant it.  On Wednesday, the Fed cut the federal funds rate by one-quarter of a percentage point to 4.5 percent.  The markets went up that day only to be down roughly 2.5 percent the day following.  What’s funny [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=iamamazing.wordpress.com&blog=21260&post=350&subd=iamamazing&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Charlie Munger stated again in this year’s Berkshire Hathaway meeting that Ethanol was not a feasible solution to our energy needs. Similiar to what Carl and I have written about in recent weeks, Ethanol has three large problems associated with it.
The first problem is that it costs almost as much to make Ethanol as the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=iamamazing.wordpress.com&blog=21260&post=348&subd=iamamazing&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

With a weak dollar and oil nearing $100/bbl, many economic policy critics including Jim Rogers, have said Bernanke should not be slashing the federal funds rate.  Personally I have many problems with the Federal Reserve and have [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=iamamazing.wordpress.com&blog=21260&post=346&subd=iamamazing&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
