<p>I read a piece by John Maudlin last night and he pointed out that two very smart guys in the investment world had different opinions on the market. Buffett said that he’s buying stocks. The other guy, who called the 2000 crash accurately said recovery in the markets begins in 2010.</p>
<p>Maudlin’s take is that it’s fine to be buying stocks now if you’re a good stockpicker and Buffett is known to be a very good stockpicker. So that might explain the differences of opinions between two smart investors.</p>
<p>I’m pretty curious myself about what will happen with colleges though I think my son is happy where he is. It could make things interesting for our daughter though if it gets harder for high-school students to take courses at colleges. Hopefully things don’t get tighter at her CC. They’re getting a 5+% budget cut as it is.</p>
<p>One other funny thing: the CSM is going from a daily to a weekly. Looks like the economy has hit them pretty hard too. We would like to visit their real estate properties in Boston to enjoy them while we still can.</p>
