Financial history doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes. You can't be stupid enough to trade off anything I say.... I'm lucky they let me out of the straight-jacket long enough to trade.

One interesting stat from neonatology is the ultra-high divorce rates for parents with premie babies... over 70% for any kid admitted for more than a week. It goes up proportional to the number of days in neo-ICU. Stats are for singletons, and I'm sure it would extrapolate to multiples.

Anecdotally, I know of 6 couples with NICU admissions, 5 are divorced.

That and a T.V. Reality show....

they didn't have a chance...

but I want to say something about how TLC should put a ton of cash for a full college education for all the kids...

and if I were a judge... Maybe saying "They go in foster care or with the grandparents Until the T.V. show ends..."

I could rant on this. You realize they have a 50% chance of going on Medicaid. The octomom is already on the 'caid X 14 kids.

The stats on premies on the public dole is astounding. Divorce increases the rate, multiples increases the rate. Do the math.

Maybe Jon and Kate are different because they have a franchise, books, TV show, but overall this IVF/infertility obsession is costly.

they wanted just enough kids to ruin their marriage....

Ya... there are about 10 billion rants

There is something to be said for the good ol' days when the doctor just said, "Well, God doesn't want you to have babies."

Now we spend billions so everyone can breed, like the next generation is so much better off with eight genetic replicas of Jon and Kate. Gag.

I'm having a nice day of tennis... So... sorry to not engage you in this....

Ya... I think you and I both agree on the "Breeders"..

Sure I have socialist tenancies, but nobody needs to pay a zillion dollars so you can have kids or get an erection.

which then gets me to how instead of so much dependence on Pills, and lining the pockets of pharma ... People would be surprised at what a great "Drug" a little Exercise is... good anti-Depresent, Good for the Lungs, Good for productivity, good for insomnia... etc etc..

and as far as Personal Viagra... A little exercise goes a long way to "Get the circulation going"

Yeah, I was at work for 3 hrs. Boring day here. Sell-off with FOMC? Go figure.

Eric said...

nothing makes me not want to be in the market more than the 10 point bob and weave around FOMC and NFP....
