 Microsoft: The Most Valuable Company On Earth American free-market capitalism has proven to be the greatest wealth generator in recorded human history. Most of the major stock indices are trading at all-time highs. While only 20% of Americans own 80% of all stocks traded on the exchanges, about half of all Americans own some kind of stocks as part of their personal financial portfolios. The Microsoft Corporation has recently surpassed the $3 Trillion market-cap with a reasonable multiple valuation of 35. With a better credit-rating than the U.S. Government, Microsoft has become the most valuable publicly-traded company on Earth. I hold a B.S. Business Economics from Virginia Tech and I am a Microsoft Certified Windows Programmer. The recent Microsoft news was quite welcome as we started the new year 2024. At this time last year, there were a bunch of bank failures and the PC market was still in rapid decline from the PC “pandemic-boom” sales highs. However, with PC shipments and s...

Reviving the Keynesian Animal Spirits The World Economic Forum 2024 is currently meeting in Davos, Switzerland. The WEF is an annual meeting of some of the top leaders in business, government policy makers, economists, and other great thinkers contemplating and discussing the world’s toughest social issues. The WEF was founded in 1971 by Klaus Schwab, a business professor in Switzerland. As an undergraduate Business Economics major at Virginia Tech I was required to take many courses and studies on Keynesian Economics. John Maynard Keynes, in his book General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, proposed many of the ideas foundational to modern macroeconomics. Indeed, all students of economics of the past 70 years have learned Keynesian Economics. In brief, Keynesian Economics presents the idea of Governments and Central Banks intervening in the wild swings of markets and the economy. When the markets and economy are engaged in irrational exuberance and has many over-price asset b...

 End Qualified Immunity! Stop Government Corruption! The legal doctrine of Qualified Immunity has caused many offenses and victims of the American People since it was first implemented 50 years ago. The legal doctrine of Qualified Immunity has incentivized incompetence and corruption by police, judges, and other government officials. The massive ongoing $100 million public funds scandal in my hometown of Front Royal, Virginia, and subsequent cover-up scheme of the past 4 years, is only one example of how Qualified Immunity is destroying the country. Qualified Immunity is used by cops, judges, and other government officials to 1. steal monies from the public coffers, 2. swindle land from their neighbors, 3. use organized criminal tactics to target innocent citizens with endless campaigns of intimidation and harassment. I strongly urge good decent Americans to arm themselves with a $40,000 online correspondence Juris Doctor Law degree. An online correspondence law degree can help pro...

 The New Year 2024 We are only a few days into the new year 2024. Dominating the U.S. and World news headlines are as follows: 1. the Russian invasion of Ukraine now in its second year. 2. the war in the Middle-East between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. 3. the impending U.S. economic slowdown or recession. 4. the Presidential election cycle with most of Congress up for re-election to control a Washington D.C. at its highest debt-level in nearly a century. I am actively trying to find anyone interested in doing an online degree program or online certification in Military Science. Therefore, I must be extremely careful in my statements pertaining to matters of War in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and elsewhere. Suffice it to say, I support Ukraine and Israel’s right to defend themselves against unprovoked invasions and attacks. I will say, however, the current U.S. military leadership has, for far too long, been monopolized by graduates from elite Military Academies. The strangle-hold...
