...want to take on the risk in equities but also doesn't want to be in low-yielding government bonds, there is an alternative. Investment-grade corporate fixed-income securities, I think, are going to be a very good place to be, and arguably will be tops in total return for the next several years...
...inhabitants of the Gaza Strip were not so lucky. When Israel launched its comprehensive assault on Hamas militants in Israel, we censured Tel Aviv for its overly aggressive response to recent rocket attacks on Israeli settlements, cities, and towns. The humanitarian disaster inflicted by Israel’s total blockade of the disputed territory was horrific, and we demanded that Israel relent on its hard-line policy against the ordinary people of Gaza.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday that the 101st Airborne Division has been publicizing each enemy death - for a total of nearly 2,000 - over the past 14 months. That news has already renewed the debate over the wisdom of relying on such numbers.
