  • When will the bull run end?

    George Rebane We are now in the longest bull run in the history of America’s security markets. The nearby figure filched from the 15jun19 WSJ provides some perspective. The question on everyone’s lips is when will this bull run end. As readers know, I’m a semi-retired successful entrepreneur and capitalist who has managed his own…

  • Scattershots – 14jun19 (updated 20jun19)

    George Rebane Proto-socialists on parade.  I noticed in the 14jun19 Union’s lead op-ed another example of a good-hearted, light-thinker wailing about our country’s unequal distribution of wealth, and its pitifully inadequately small government.  A Ms Becky Goodwin laments that no “millionaire” attended her kids’ college graduations to pay off their student loans, and why should…

  • Soaking the Middle Class

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 12 June 2019.] By this time we have all heard the nearly two dozen Democratic presidential candidates promise Americans so many free things we’ll get that most of us have lost track of all the goodies coming our way when one…

  • Sandbox – 12jun19

    [It appears that there’s not much else happening in the country or the world to interest our commenters who are locked in a pitched battle debating the deeper meaning of poll and Nevada County vote count percentages all guaranteed to rivet the attention of RR’s other readers.  gjr]

  • Is Nevada County’s Broadband Leadership AWOL?

    Russ Steele How embarrassing to have a nationally known industry observers conclude that political leadership in your community is an allusive mirage when it comes to building out critical broadband infrastructure.  And, then publishing the details in a well-received book.  First, these leaders do not seem to grasp the economics of having robust broadband (BB).…

  • Scattershots – 8jun19 (updated 11jun19)

    George Rebane California’s homeless population continues to grow; it now exceeds 130,000 and is heavily concentrated in metropolitan areas like LA, the Bay, and Sacramento with smaller scale infections even reaching rural counties like our own.  According to the feds, CA is now also #1 home for those without a home, and growing.  And the…

  • Dropout Derby (updated 7jun19)

    George Rebane By last count there were 23 Democrat declared candidates running to become the next POTUS, with two more standing in the wings making up their minds.  And here they are – Now it doesn’t take rocket science to figure out that all but a handful will make it through the debates and primaries,…

  • Sandbox – 5jun19

    [‘Socialism is good for you.’  Now we have Crazy Bernie and Pocahontas claiming that the USSR, China, Cuba, … weren’t really real socialist countries; that they were ruled by tyrants instead of the finely fashioned fettle of fearless führers that they would become.  Someone should ask them to name a single socialist country that didn’t…

  • Student Loan Scam Solution

    George Rebane Most well-read Americans know about the student loan scam that has been going on for at least a couple of decades.  This is where colleges and university administrations lobby for ever more generous and easy to get student loans, and then increase their tuitions and fees to continue the financial burden on the…
