Cax Co. Trading & Beyond

Thanks in part to a large US trade deficit and a weak US economy, the US dollar continues to trend lower. For some perspective, last week’s chart illustrates the current trend in the US dollar (blue line) as well as that other world currency, gold (gray line). As today’s chart illustrates, the performance of the US dollar has varied inversely to that of gold since October 2005. It is worth noting that the US dollar is currently testing support.

1. Do I really need this test?

“Doctors often adhere to a better-safe-than-sorry philosophy, ordering tests just to protect themselves in the event of a lawsuit,” says David Sandmire, MD, co-author of Medical Tests That Can Save Your Life.

A full 16 percent of prostate-cancer screenings, for example, are unnecessary, say Harvard researchers. Since 80 percent of PSA results are false positives, thousands of men undergo needless biopsies each year. Another overused procedure: CT scans. The radiation from these tests causes an estimated 5,695 cancer cases a year, say British researchers.

2. Where would you send your wife or children?

Like our tax code and the judicial system, medicine is supposed to treat everyone equally, but it’s clear that some people receive better treatment than others. “General practitioners who work within a particular system routinely refer patients to specialists within that health-care system,” says Kevin Soden, MD, co-author of Special Treatment: How to Get the Same High-Quality Health Care Your Doctor Gets. “However, oftentimes the best surgeon is in a completely different facility on the other side of town, and you can bet that’s where your doctor would send his family.”

Who knows TXU has to do this???

Oh, TXU. Shame on you.
Square PegsBy April Powell

Yesterday afternoon, a man in a blue TXU shirt rang my doorbell and
beckoned me out into the heat to speak to him (presumably to avoid the
100-pound dog barking behind my door). Holding his clipboard in hand, the
man introduced himself as a TXU “regional manager” Chad Maddox. He stated
that was visiting me because I am a good, longtime TXU customer, who had
stayed with the company even when its rates were high.
