		<description><![CDATA[The market was less than kind to health insurers today after a Congressional Budget Office analysis painted a rosy picture of the pending health-care legislation.
Health-insurance investors should not lose heart, however, because the CBO study has a significant flaw: It assumes that Medicare will cut doctors&#8217; fees -25% next year.
This sort of cut has never [...]]]></description>

We were waiting for the results of a different contest altogether.
The race we were interested in has far larger economic ramifications than the Olympics and every [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A small company is on the receiving end of $249 million from the U.S. government. And it&#8217;s about to go public.
The IPO takes place Thursday, September 24th.
IPOs like this are rare, but they&#8217;re rewarding. Especially when they&#8217;re backed by the most powerful financial force on the planet: Uncle Sam.
On May 13, 2009, the last time [...]]]></description>

Even so, desalinization &#8212; the process of taking the various salts out of seawater that make it drinkable &#8212; isn&#8217;t something you&#8217;re hearing anything about.  You should be, though, and you will.  In fact, the issue likely will come to the [...]]]></description>

Washington&#8217;s latest pronouncement is turning the difficult task of making money in a recession into a walk in the park &#8212; at least for one company.

Not so great, as it turns out.

That&#8217;s something that keeps the politicians up at night&#8230; but it sure helps me sleep tight. That&#8217;s because I prefer to put my money [...]]]></description>
