"I lived there and I can tell you... Maine isn't the cultural capital of America."
That's what one of my researchers said after reading Bankrate's recent ranking of the best and worst states for retirement.

For decades, doctors have told millions of Americans with high cholesterol that they're at risk of heart disease...
It's exaggerated nonsense, of course. Longtime readers know cholesterol isn't the danger mainstream medicine wants you to think it is.
I can't stand Las Vegas...
The casinos reek of cigarette smoke. The din of bells and chimes as fools are parted from their money at slot machines is deafening. The waiters in phony French and Italian restaurants stare at you like extras playing B-movie zombies.

Last night, I aired my first ever Trading Master Class.
