Excerpting one paragraph for you. "The big political news out of Washington yesterday is that the White House wants you to know that President Obama is not antibusiness. That reassuring word comes in a dispatch from Politico.com quoting senior White House aides that they have launched "a coordinated campaign to push back against the perception" that its agenda is hostile to business."

WSJ says” How in the world did anyone get that idea? Perhaps the feeling set in sometime between the President's public trashing of the Chrysler bond holders and his use of the insurer Wellpoint as a piñata to pass ObamaCare. Or maybe it was sometime after his Administration's fifth or sixth tax increase proposal, its disdain until recently for trade promotion, and its unleashing of new regulations across any industry you want to name.”

Regardless of your political persuasion and possibly the industry you are in, it is so easy to be concerned, even worried.  After all, for the vast bulk of us, what can you do and what should you do with your capital? Use that question as part of your ongoing monitoring to balance risk and reward.
