“My Fellow Americans” statement is used by many Presidents in their speeches to the Americans in various of topics that we hear or face in the daily basis.  President Bush have heard us loud and clear that we wanted the payback from the 9/11 attack and we went to Afghan to seek and capture Obama bin Laden which we are failing miserably so President Bush have decided to invade Iraq since he claimed that Iraq was supporting Al-Qadea organization as well as they were developing the Weapons of Mass Destructions where there was no evidence of WMDs to be found in anywhere in Iraq.  Almost 4 years into the war, we are struggling to hold our ground at Iraq and the Americans have spoken repeatedly to retreat Iraq and bring our soldiers home however the President did not hear our cry and constantly urging us to be patient even though that the President have confessed that we are losing the war at Iraq.  So he have decided to execute the troop surge to Iraq which it is not working at all and it have angered the Americans and have spoken against the surge and the President have went ahead and executed the surge to Iraq and now we have witnessed the horrible results of the surge and Bush tells us to be patient and give it time for the surge to work and it is nearly 6 months after the surge and it is failing!  Do you think the White House is listening to the Americans when it comes to the Iraq War ? I don’t think so.  A strong leader should listen to the concerns of Americans, have gained the respect of the Americans, looks out the best interests of the Americans and protects them while he is listing the respect of Americans, being deaf to the Americans cry, and endangering the country to possible terrorist attacks (I sure hope it won’t happen.).  What do United States needs ?  We need a leader that listens to the Americans where the democracy is all about!

As the projected population will be at 60 million people living in California by the year 2050 which worries the transportion authorities because they know that the roads and highways won’t have enough capacity to handle the large number of population. We have been widening our freeways for decades and it is not yet giving any reliefs as the delays on the road have been increasing dramatically. So therefore, some of the city council people in Los Angeles are calling for a study for the proposed rail and subways. However, I am against to those proposed rail and subways since we already have the railways around the county and its not being fully utilized as the commuters are using their own personal automobiles as the primary transportion choice since the mass transportion does not take us to the places within the reasonable time frame as I have been hearing the complainments about the bus ride time can easily rack up as much as 3 hours for a mere 20 mile drive via personal automobile while it takes up nearly 40 miles by bus because the bus system does not have the effective and direct route system where you can do with a personal automobile where it will only take between 30 minutes to a hour depending on the traffic conditions.

In order to really to show the reduce in the traffic congestion is to institute the new ride-share program with the potential large employers to encourage their employees to take up the light rail from the major point to another major point (i.e Los Angeles to Santa Ana/Anaheim or Los Angeles to Riverside/Pomona) as it will remove a fairly large numbers of cars off from the traffic grid as the problem lays that many motorists drive more than 15 miles per way from home to their work site. Also, restrict the freight truck traffic flow as it is also the factor to the overly congested traffic grids and encourage the freight trucks to be driven during the off peak hours to allow the traffic infrastructure to fully utilize the commuters as the Times Magazine shows the study of the freight trucks have taken up as much as 40% of the traffic infrastructure capacity! So instead of the excessive trucking, encourage the use of the heavy rail for the freight transportion where it will lower the number of trucks on the roads by giving some kind of tax credits to the industries that are opting for the heavy rail instead of trucking as well as the large employers that institutes the improved ride-share program. That would save taxpayers from paying excessive waste of money in billions of dollars as well as floating the bonds could be prevented for those unnecessary freeway widening once you tackle the source of the problem!

Original purpose for US went on to invade Iraq was to capture Saddam from torturing his own people. Now he have been removed from the power and executed by the Iraqis where the President claimed as the Mission Accomplished in 2003. However, as of today, US is still struggling to hold its fortress at Iraq as the new Iraqi Government is attempting to establish its own government as the US military expenses and causalities continues to rack up like there’s no tomorrow! Several years after the capture of Saddam and the war is still raging on and many of our proud US soldiers are constantly getting killed for what ? Oil ? Iraqi people ? As I recall that President Bush’s father, elder Bush went on to Gulf war because he claimed that Saddam was torturing Kuwait while back in the 1980s US and Iraq were the best friends now we are stabbing against each other’s backs ? It just doesn’t make no sense to me. Then in Clinton’s administration, he didn’t maintain any invasion or warfare in Iraq or its surroundings until the young Bush came by and had the balls to link Iraq to Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs) during the post 9/11 era where the only evidence we found was the cracked bomb shell from the 1980s Iran-Iraq War. Then he decided to link Iraq to the al-Qadea organization few years after we have captured Saddam…it just doesn’t make any sense and what up with the Warrant less Wiretapping ? President Bush, are you trying to be like Nixon and dude he got trouble for doing that and Mr. President, you are violating many laws such as Treason, murder of US soldiers (killed at Iraq for no reason), violating 1st amendment with the warrantless wiretapping along the violation of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978. As the aides of the White House are resigning and the USS Bush is sinking as the rats are bailing out as the continued shake up at the White House where its first started with Colin Powell as the Secretary of the State and even the Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfield, resigned. The chief at Department of Homeland Security got resigned and replaced as well and not at least the shake up in the Attorney General Gonzales where he knew that President Bush was violating various of laws! What up with this pattern, Mr. President are you hiding something from the Americans and we are bound to find it!

As of the right now, the polls in American’s opposition to the Iraq War is at all time-high and Bush’s poll is at all time low. We are stuck at funding the wars from our tax dollars for those wars we do not support while the domestic programs desperately needs those money but the war money is wasted in a nanosecond! Are you trying to retrace the Vietnam war ? Or are you trying to win the award as the US most worst President ? It will look better if we have you tried for the impeachment!

Mr. President, all due with respect, when you swore in, your original role as the President as defined in US Constitution is to execute the laws and make sure its carried out but you are breaking them off as well as failure to comply and obey and protect the Constitution and its laws, so you are calling yourself as the President!? Step up as a man, accept that we lost at Iraq and let the oil go and bring our soldiers home!  Stop asking for more time as you have been asking for “more time” for last 4 years!  So Time is up!  An american have spoken!

Frontline LTD (FRO) is going to make you some serious money as it pays out ultra-high dividends as it yields at 12.80% at the market close on 07/05/2007.

I found this stock when my friend, who is also into the investing stock market, and I were screening for stock then found this stock because we were seeking in generating the cash flow from the dividends so we decided to buy that stock and we have earned very impressive returns including a spin off:

• Dividends
  • 1st Quarter 2007: $433 invested at 12.5 shares, $25.56 dividend reinvested at $2.05 per share payout
  • 2nd Quarter 2007: $1810 invested at 50.4 shares, $75.64 dividend reinvested at $1.50 per share payout
• Spinoff
  • Received 1.3 shares of SPF at no purchase cost during the 1st Quarter 2007

Jim Cramer and other stock analysts gave this stock thumbs down and I am sure very glad that I did not listen to those guys because I have recieved some serious cash for small amount of money invested! As one financial advisor predicts that this stock can go as high as $55 per share along with its high dividend payout so it seems possible to happen. Buy it while its hot!

In July 4th, 1776, we have delcared the independence from the England during the revolvutionary war. 231 years later, we are still going strong and thriving, we come together to remember this day when our soldiers were/are fighting to protect our freedoms and remember the forefathers founded this country to be free!  There are some good insights about the independence day that are posted by Steve Imparl.

Happy Birthday, America!

Starbucks (SBUX) might have found its ground to be able to hold its stocks after the recent earning release announcement that have sent the investors running in horror.  Right now, SBUX is undervalued where it is closed at $26.05 and the actual value of the stock is at $28.35 which allows us to bring more bang in our money which it will lead to greater return.  Starbucks have been reporting the ever-growing same-store sales over last year because the popularity of their beverages is becoming more popular and also they have begun selling various of products like CDs, books and etc.  The analysts estimates that the earnings growth rate will be approximately 17.00% and the sales growth rate at approximately 20.00% which are very good figures if SBUX manages to hit or exceed that projected target.

 Go buy them, go get them while its hot just like a hot expresso!

As of last week there was a press release from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) that wants to institute the congestion charge for driving to/from the City of Los Angeles during the busiest hour to give the relief in traffic. More toll road with very very limited alternative means of transportion ? What the hell are you thinking MTA!? Amtrak or Metrolink does not go everywhere we the commuters needs to go in Los Angeles but is forced to take the bus where it is already overflowing with passengers ? Since Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is owned and operated by the City of Los Angeles so they are not planning to exempt LAX from the toll charges so they can collect the tolls for LAX and fund for its future transportion projects which I have a very strong doubt about it since MTA have been crying that they are broke while they are decent amount of money from the fares. As well as the Californians have spoken and voted to pass the traffic relief improvement bill in the 2006 state election but yet the mass transit is crying like they have no money eh ? I don’t buy it and the executive board people ought to slash their own salary down by 50% if MTA is really broke otherwise, the organization does have the money.

Since the trains or buses that are going to the airport are too long for many of us who lives 30 or more miles away from the airport plus the 2 hours early arrival time before the flight departure time.  So the only choices we have is to drive ourselves to the airport and pay the toll where’s there’s no options unless you call the airport shuttle to pick you up with the possibility that you will be also paying the toll that is probably increased fare charge where its being included.

You dudes in MTA board, what you are considering its not helping unless you start expanding your routes!!! You better get your a$$es together or the people will call to overhaul the management eventually!
