[email_link] It is no secret that President Obama’s and green-energy supporters’ (from both parties) foray into venture capitalism has not gone well.

So we continue to sit. Reaction to earnings have not been that great with a few more blow-ups today. A ton more…

The short version.   The nasdaq starting to look sickly. The nasdaq is the leading index most of the time.   Good bases to buy off of are just not there.   More leaders coming under distribution…not just GOOG.   There remains good action in low beta, value-oriented, industrial types…it’s just not growth.

[email_link] …LOBBYISTS-DONATIONS-POLITICIANS-UNDESERVING COMPANIES WITH TIES TO ALL!  Even as advanced battery maker A123 Systems struggled for financial viability, it played the Washington insider game, where political money and access go hand in hand.

[email_link] In the wake of the Treasury Department’s newly released summary of federal spending for 2012, it’s now possible to detail just how profligate the Obama years have been.  Here’s the upshot:  Under Obama, for every $7 we’ve had, we’ve spent nearly $11 (or, to be more exact, $10.95).  That’s like a family that makes $70,000 a…
