Fear of God?

5. Is America Broken? More importantly for investors is the question: How can I make money if it is?

As I write this article from the runway of Miami’s airport on the way to Phoenix, I have many negative thoughts. Lot’s of American infrastructure is old and broken from its highways in old urban areas that can't handle the traffic to its airports. New York City has three airports, all of them awful.

The fact that Countrywide Financial and now Bear Stearns are basically insolvent and carcasses for lawyers has really put the fear into the stock markets once again. I am mad at U.S. leaders but that won’t affect change and it sure as hell won’t make me money. This “credit crisis” is quite different from the little Internet bubble of 2000. Internet entrepreneurs were little boys compared to the grownups losing money in the financial sector.
