Apple Is Still Executing

Phil,

Sorry, my comment was an O-o-ops! FDR was elected in '32 & inaugurated in '33. The planned coup was intended to take place in '34.

SOB.

Apple Is Still Executing

I was reading your post of the 20th or 22nd, & just wanted to point out that FDR was elected in '33 & inaugurated in '34. That same year, 1934, a group of businessmen, led by Du Pont and Morgan, planned to overthrow him with a military coup and install a fascist government modelled after Mussolini's regime. They promised General Smedley Butler an army of half a million, unlimited backing, plus positive media spin. Unfortunately, Butler reported the plot to Congress. Just one of many little-known facts of American History. The darkness continues as long as the lights are left off: With all the talk about the Great Depression and its similarities (& dissimilarities) to our present era, how many people have you heard talking about the similarities between the roaring twenties & post-Reagan America? The GD, by many accounts, had already bottomed in 1933.

I enjoy your posts.

The Bull Run Begins This Week

Are you a minister, sir? I get the distinct feeling that you're a minister.

You haven't converted me. There will certainly be a continuation of yesterday's rally. My feeling is that one should sell into it and preserve as much of one's skin as possible. There will be better buying opportunities ahead of us.
