The Monday Melee: Renting vs. Buying

July 18, 2016 By Young Research

States Where it's Cheaper to Rent than Buy Catey Hill writes at MarketWatch.com that there are 8 states where it's cheaper to rent than to buy a home: It’s cheaper to rent a home versus buying one in just eight states in America, according to an analysis of monthly costs released Monday by GoBankingRates.com. Those states, Hawaii, Montana, Utah, Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming, Delaware and Oregon, are joined by the District of Columbia. The analysis compared the monthly cost to rent the median-priced single-family home in each state with the monthly cost of owning that same home. The latter … [Read more...]

Switzerland: The Drawbacks of Wealth Taxation

October 25, 2017 By E.J. Smith

Researchers studying the effects of wealth taxation in Switzerland have found that, rather than quelling inequality, the taxes are costly to the economy and generate little revenue with respect to their negative impacts. The Tax Foundation's Alex Durante writes: Many countries in the OECD impose estate or inheritance taxes, two kinds of wealth taxes, on their citizens. Estate and inheritance taxes are levied on the money and property of the deceased and paid by the beneficiaries. However, only a few of these countries tax personal wealth holdings on a yearly basis. Switzerland imposes the … [Read more...]

Have More Money, Save More Money

July 14, 2016 By Dick Young

Writing in The Wall Street Journal, Jason Zweig (one of my favorite financial writers) drives home a powerful message to investors around the world. This is a message that must be heard loud and clear. Worldwide, $13 trillion in debt yields less than zero; in “normal” times, when those bonds might have yielded 3% or so, investors would have earned roughly $400 billion on them annually. Now investors are spending, rather than earning, tens of billions of dollars a year to hold those bonds — much as you might pay a storage company to keep your heirlooms safe for you. Nevertheless, even at … [Read more...]

When the Lights Go Out

October 25, 2017 By E.J. Smith

Inflicting major disruptions to the electrical grid, whether by humans or natural causes, is not that difficult to imagine. It has already happened which you’ll learn more about in this excellent article, and series, by Rebecca Smith in The WSJ titled, “How America Could Go Dark.” I spent time this week speaking with an engineer at our local utility company. The impression he gave me is the same as in the article: The money is simply not there. It’s not there to protect substations with proper security, and it’s certainly not there to upgrade the grid to bring it into the 21st … [Read more...]

October 25, 2017 By E.J. Smith

You have plenty of opportunities to get your survival training now. Don’t let inertia slow you down. Here’s what I’ve learned for you. A client told me this week he’s thinking about attending a pistol course through the Surefire Institute. They will be in his town for about ten days offering a variety of coursework such as General Shotgun and General Handgun. I’ve taken similar courses through Sig Sauer Academy in Epping, New Hampshire and I highly recommend both for you and your loved ones. What’s cool about the Surefire Institute is that it has locations in Las Vegas (a nice activity if … [Read more...]
