      <description><![CDATA[I think many bloggers in finance allude to what they own rather than be specific, painting with a broad a brush that serves their intent not to explicitly reveal portfolio holdings, or to have readers mirror their portfolio without taking into account individual circumstances.  Over the past twelve months, and especially during the period of March-September, my investment portfolios have undergone the most dramatic change ever (&quot;ever&quot; being 1974). I am very fortunate that rental income and dividend-rich stocks have kept my total portfolio loss manageable, even accounting for real estate depreciation. Certainly, the tax treatment owning MLPs and real estate will help mitigate this loss further during upcoming tax season.  Today's blog focuses on bonds, ETF bond funds and high-yield ETFs I own. I am comfortable with the mix to date, although we all know in the present investment climate, things can change in a hurry.<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/2909073>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Whether or not you believe the government should be “bailing out” Wall Street banks, I think it’s fair to say that the financial system itself is critical to the functioning of our economy. If it wasn’t, we wouldn’t see our current problems growing so quickly and pervasively.    The automobile industry is another issue. It’s certainly a smaller part of our economy, even after the shrinkage of investment bank market caps. And there’s no way I’d ever call it essential. Fundamentally, people aren’t buying cars, so what does anyone expect to happen? Why should the auto industry be different than any other industry that’s facing a deep recession?
