With China pulling back on credit, Obama is broke and looking for $1.9
trillion for this years debt-spend, Japan is in toruble too,
unemployment up again, I would say wild assed dips are a coming. Only
the threat of currency deflation keeps stocks this high.

Are we sure Obama isn't Osama's brother?

bush maxed out the US credit card

you j ust think obama's been president for 8 years

and the crack about osama merely shows how paranoid the right really
is. bush tortured american citizens. and you righties said zip

Agreed, put in some stop loss orders if you want to lock in profits,
although it would have been better done last week.
I have unrealized sell orders in on a few items, looking for one more
little bounce.

Money does tend to pile onto anything that looks like it is going up,
whether it is rational or not. Usually it isn't

core inflation was about 2% last year.

care to try again?

Core inflation is higher, the 2% number is government BS. Take GDP
growth, I think November. Up something like 1.3% while jobs losses
still on the rise. That is inflation, not a recovery.

more bull****. growth with fewer people is called 'productiivity' not
inflation

you're jus an idiot


View a recovery as GSP grows more than infation and jobs follow suit.
Haven't seen any indication of that at all.

your view of the economy is based on your 5000 calorie a day diet at
mcdonalds

If white and a college education make for being rich, how come you are

i never said it did. i said being white, male and educated means
you'll probably make more money than being black, male and educated

Why do you say Bush is the Biggest Spender? At the rate that Obama and
Congress are burning through money, they have almost caught up in a year

irrelevant. teh world tried your method.

it was called the '29 crash. how'd that work out for you?

what it took Congress, both Republican and Democrat controlled versions, and
Bush 8 years to spend. The current people in control are talking another
stimulus bill. They may pass Bush in 18 months. And set records that will
doom us to 3rd world status. Use your boat now, as you will not be able to
afford to at the rate Congress and Obama are piling up debt.

of course you prefer 25% unemployment for the middle class. after all,
let 'em eat cake, right?

It would only work if it went back up. In addition, there's no way to know
when the bottom is reached, so your proposition of being able to time the
market is nonsense.

First, your fund manager is a fraud. Please, consider to fire them.

every fund manager was a fraud. if they ALL were frauds then fraud was
built into the system



Your fund manager should be doing this. 8 hours a day and missed it?
There were 100's of deals like this. Some much better, this was far
from my best one.

they dont give a **** about the middle class. they only care about
their big investors. wall street views the middle class as a
bottomless piggybank, courtesy of morons like you

You earn $100. You get to keep $90. You earn $100,000. You get to
keep
$90,000. Which would you pick?


Dumb example. People who choose to ignore an education and/or are
lazy
don't have the option to choose a $100K income.

or they could be black, jewish, women, latino, etc.


Uneducated black, Jewish, women, Latino, etc. I worked in the
Silicon Valley as an engineer. Lots of Jewish, Black and Latino
coworkers making in excess of $100k. All had university educations.
Lots of black, Jewish, women, Latino, etc. Working as assemblers and
janitors and secretaries that made a hell of a lot less than the
engineers. They also did not have advanced education. And most of us
making a $100k plus were working more hours than those making $35k or
so. Probably working harder also. I worked and put myself through
college, did take advantage of the corporate tuition reimbursement to
help pay for that. Evil corporation, making it advantageous for me to
go to school. My nephew, makes very little, mostly odd jobs, 45
years old. Thought he was a computer guru, but never went to JC, or
night school to get a certificate, etc. Lazy. Problem with most of
those in dire straights, other than those with major health problems,
is lack of education or lazy.



All true no doubt, but that doesn't include all people making
$35K/year.

35k is not dire straights.



With four kids???? You're cracked.

Really. Please show us where in the US that $35K/year for a family with four
kids is doing well... go for it.

The alternative is a well-regulated capitalistic economy. That actually
works.

We are agreeing again.

I'm mostly an agreeable person.

You were following the progression of the conversation about the two
major bank de-regulation bills and who voted for them?
You really can't blame either one of them on either party. In fact 51
of the 60 representatives who voted AGAINST the 2000 commodities
deregulation act that allowed all of those credit default swaps were
republicans. http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2000/roll603.xml

The senate passed it with unanimous consent

And, 133 voted for it. And, 157 others voted for it. Seems pretty evenly
divided...

for the right wing, $35K is 35K too much for a family of 4.

You are quite the trip...my guess is that you work as a stock boy at 7-11.


I don't know what he does for a living, but I did almost exactly the same
thing with Ford.
I am not a big player in the stock market. Never was. Never invested any
more than I
could afford to lose. Never participated in a 401K. Never trusted or
depended on anyone else to plan or provide for my retirement.

But, back when all the uproar was going on with Ford, GM and Chrysler I had
a hunch Ford was
going to come out a winner when they announced they didn't want or need any
government bailout money. So, I bought a bunch at $1.60. Sold a bunch at
$8.60, a bunch more at $10. Still have some.
So, count me in at the 7-11 school. I might buy a new boat this spring.
