5 Ways to Ponzi proof your portfolio and sleep well at night.

I've been in the financial arena for over 30 years. I must say I that I am appalled to see scum like Bernie Madoff stealing money from honest people. In many ways he's committing one of the most heinous of crimes. He's destroying the financial standings of unsuspecting victims for his own selfish greed.

My message left on Bloomberg. Let us see if they publish

Summary: the use of the word NATIONALISATION by the media

With respect I believe that Bloomberg and other channels are using this word too much and contribute to the fall in financial shares in both the USA and UK. I think that you should try not using this word for at least one month.

Stock markets usually anticipate facts by 6 months. I believe that if we could have healthy stock markets then the economy could improve. This requires both retail and professional investors.

I would also suggest that both capital gains taxes and with holding taxes on dividends be removes to encourage investment. This would encourage investment in quoted companies and compensate the investors (including pensioners) who are getting little or no interest on their savings in banks due to the current low interest climate.

We do not hear on the media the word Nationalisation used with respect to the French Banks - just no bonuses
which is the way it should be. Please restrain your reports for at least one month the use of the word NATIONALISATION

The BBC investigate the shooting of 2 Palestinian children

Yesterday I watched this investigation by the BBC where it was alledged that an Israel soldier in cold blood killed 2 children in Gaza and badly wounded the third one of the family. The BBC had kindly re-united the wounded child with her father. There were witnesses to the alledged murder.

I did a search on Google "war crimes israel" and this is a sample of what I found.
