• Bond yields sink, stocks fall as investors demand safety

  06-03-2020 23:53
  
  A dizzying, brutal week of trading dropped one last round of harrowing swings on investors Friday.
  After skidding sharply through the day as fear pounded markets, steep drops for stocks and bond yields suddenly eased up in the last hour. By the end of trading, the S&P 500 had more than halved its loss for the day to 1.7% and even locked in a gain for the week.
  It’s the latest lurch in a wild ride that has sent stocks flipping between huge gains and losses — mostly losses the last

• Walmart offers lessons for market-based health reform

  06-03-2020 23:39
  
  SACRAMENTO – When I needed new glasses, I went to an optometrist for an exam, picked out some dorky black frames, paid my portion and my insurance picked up the rest. Then, by chance, I walked into one of those ubiquitous Walmart optometry centers and realized I could have had the exam and the glasses for little more than the price of the copay. That speaks volumes about our current health system.
  When a third party — insurance or government, for instance — pays for something,

  Leave it to California legislators to identify a real problem and then offer a “solution” that’s so misguided it will make the problem worse and undermine our fundamental rights in the process.
  Their approach seems designed mainly for publicity — and to satisfy the demands of vocal community activists who don’t understand how housing markets work.
  The problem is the state’s growing housing crisis. As we all know, home values and rents have become increasingly
