My recommendation would be to have no minimum wage law at all. The market should set the "price" of labor. This would greatly lower unemployment rates and stimulate academic activity. Of course, this should also be bolstered with a much reduced taxation rate. Cheers, AEIOU, MSkousen HI Chris,

It sounds like you are talking about my book, "Investing in One Lesson." This has been an important lesson when it comes to investing in the stock market. I'm glad it helped you understand how to succeed in investing. Of course, there are always ups and downs, and all of us can tell you that we've lost money from time to time. But understanding what drives the market (expectations as you say) is very important! Good luck! Cheers, AEIOU, MSkouse Thank you!

I am interested in investing since I was a kid and 2 years ago (at the age of 22) my dad introduced me to stock market and I became obsessed with it, after I managed to triple my investment in just a week (due to luck and speculation of course). But for the next 1 year, I suffer massive losses even when it was bull. I bought a lot of books but none seems to give a clear answer, 'why people buy this stock at x price and why this stock moves up while the other goes down?', until I found your book. From your book, I realized it is about 'expectation' and it does makes sense. By using this concept plus some of my research and analysis, I managed to gain a respectable profit, even during recent bear. And just like what you said, I do doubt the value of technical analysis because humans are not robots and stocks are traded at margin. Thanks for your book. Looking forward for more books like this which gives strong logical answers, not mindless drawing lines and triangles on the chart.

You mentioned that unemployment is high, in part, because of minimum wage laws. You realize minimum wage is around $7.50 an hour, right? What you would like to see it be? Chris Hi Mark,

We plan to attend next year. We were not able to purchase a DVD of Mr. Forbes speech of "How Capitalism Will Save Us". Can you give us any information on how to obtain a copy? Keep fighting for freedom!!! Kind Regards, Leslie Damiano My husband and I attended this year’s Freedomfest and absolutely loved it! We plan to attend next year.

When you state "purely egalitarian" by that do you mean: You support socialism, communism, anarchism, left-libertarianism, and progressivism, all of which propound economic, political, and legal egalitarianism, respectively. I did not realize Reagan, Hayek or Mises had this view. I also do not see how this is a "freedomfest" if your view of freedom is that I should sacrifice my life for another? Please direct me to a source that I might understand what I have misunderstood. Kind Regards, C I think I want to attend your conference but have a question.
