Downtown LA Rocks!

I was in Downtown yesterday for my dose of one day / one trial Jury service. Of course I was on a conference call during the lunchtime hour I had free to wander around, but was pleasantly surprised by the several blocks of parks, the beautiful Disney Hall and the stunningly modern and graceful Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. I wish had more time to explore -- I'm thinking of dragging the family back to do a MOCA/Disney/Cathedral/Library afternoon some weekend.

Do As Buffet Does: Skate To Where The Puck Will Be

Warren Buffet has an op-ed in today's New York Times basically exhorting folks to buy US stocks. Probably, that's very good advice while the market is so low.

Equities will almost certainly outperform cash over the next decade, probably by a substantial degree. Those investors who cling now to cash are betting they can efficiently time their move away from it later. In waiting for the comfort of good news, they are ignoring Wayne Gretzky’s advice: “I skate to where the puck is going to be, not to where it has been.”
