Posted by maverick27 119 days ago (http://www.thestreet.com)
BOSTON (MainStreet) -- Halloween these days is as much about filing coffers as empty coffins.
The scariest numbers this October may be upcoming jobs reports and perhaps your 401(k) statement. The digits associated with the spooky holiday, by contrast, may bring smiles more so than shrieks.
Halloween pulls its own weight when it comes to adding some welcome spending to the U.S. economy.

A Nightmare on Main Street as Funds Fail
Posted by Midwinter 160 days ago (http://www.thestreet.com)
BOSTON (TheStreet) -- The mutual fund industry this year has been overrun by a stampede out of U.S. stocks and into safer alternatives, namely large-company and bond funds, much as in 2008 when the financial industry needed a bailout to survive.

No Mr. Wise Guy today. The world is facing two crises in Japan and MENA. The nuclear issue in Japan appears out of control. At the same time, this tragedy is masking what's going in MENA as Gadhafi takes control and in Bahrain where the weird Sunni/Shiite battles rage. With the latter, it's like a primitive religious war the west experienced centuries ago (save Ireland) with Catholics fighting
