Fastmoney and many on CNBC say, "oh look how bad things are in Germany and how we are doing better. And how bad things will get in Europe" Ok, folks let me explain something to you... Germans are pessimistic! You can't compare Anglo-Saxon numbers with Germanic numbers. They are two separate issues....

"Debit cards are making us more resilient in this recession...  oh wait..  let me take that back..."

CNBC did an entire 3 hour expose on Buffett and I.O.U.USA. Well I don't agree with everything.

In a blog posting Jason asks what he is missing regarding Garmin. My answer is that he is missing nothing! This is one those stocks where I was burnt because I jumped in too earlier (still long and will wait this storm out). BUT my basic premise of GPS which I have commented on many times stays. So...

At $35, Google Finance puts the Garmin PE at ~8.5. That's just too low for a company with 25% annual growth. I made some money riding this stock from about $45 to $80.
