How Fast is America?

By nature I am optimistic, and it worries me that "too big to fail" American company officials are getting government bailouts excessive enough to allow the usual comfortable fancy travel junkets and bonuses. At the same time, "too small to survive" companies, despite many being deserving, are being eaten alive for lunch by shorting day traders ganging up online with impunity.

The government has drawn a line in favor of big business while sending thousands of its best former students to invade a far-away country in wintertime. After the Second World War, returning troops created the largest post-war boom the country has ever had and didn't sit around doing nothing as expected according to this book. America continues to believe it can afford everything but healthcare for all and helping American small businesses.

Glad to see that averages went up in November on American exchanges, despite the fact that I spent most of it writing my novel, keeping an eye on the market, as usual, though not positively glued.

Here's a good speed test website called 10-fast-fingers.com that tests your typing speed and lets you practice and improve your score. It's like playing a game against yourself and includes simple English words. Other languages are possible on this test, too. I found it fun, and got 85 words per minute to my surprise, with 0 errors. If only I were that way in real life and with my investing!
