I think that's ultimately what we're all craving here, doing battle against the demon of boredom.

So...anyone read any good books or seen any good movies lately? Have any takes on politics and the market lol?

Currently reading "Family of Secrets" by Russ Baker ..."The Bush dynasty, the powerful forces that put it in the White House, and what their influence means for America."

The book is well written and researched and for me a real page turner. It's not at all dry and boring and I highly recommend it.

I love watching tv so I love books that can stimulate me the way a good move can. I am currently a few pages away from being done with "the secret life of bees". It's hard for people, books or television to hold my attention so I have several books with book marks where I should return to them.

I find in a person I love it when a person can speak intelligently and offer perspective on any subject. I love knowing what others know. I find I don't like talking strong politics with others. I personally only know so much but the state of community is very personal to me.

But I have to say beyond a shadow of a doubt I love finding out there are brains behind a nice set of eyes.

Koolman,

You mentioned the "markets." Having worked in the investment industry for many years I've always believed that folks should never rely on their financial consultant for information. After all he/she is making money everytime you buy an investment from them, so there is definitely a conflict of interest there.

I've always advocated of educating yourself by reading the financial sections of your newspaper, and other publications on investments. Buyer beware! Not believe everything you hear or even read. Research the information given to you as much as you can.
