It has been some time since I have taken keyboard in hand in any attempt to inform anyone of my thoughts on the world of investing. I am taking the time to write now because we are embarked on some events that are, in my humble opinion, truly historic.

Gibbs also offers suggestions for job creation, financial reform and other policy issues.
