      Weak U.S. Economy Should Negatively Impact the Loonie
      This author is forgetting that Canada with its massive natural resources has more than oil & its export are broadening to India, China & other countries which may forestall a weakening of the loonie. As a part time resident of Canada, we see an endless progression of trucks & trains laden with lumber, coal, nat gas etc which is not likely to lessen anytime soon & lets not forget the massive amount of grains they produce. They have a SURPLUS in their budget every year & its not caused exclusively by what the US is buying, but what the international community is buying also.

      Always good for a terrific belly laugh-I need my daily "fix" of Phil Davis. As I listen to CNBC, I constantly say to myself,"WHO ARE these people kidding? What are they taking to be so far up in the clouds ALL the time?" The rising unemployment is considered good! GM has been upgraded? ARe they out of their minds? Never mind GM's failing in every aspect, but no mention of their sub-prime exposure. GMAC is heavily involved with mortgages and the shoe will drop eventually after these dingbats drive the price of the stock up. I have almost given up on any involvement in this craziness, but I still enjoy a good laugh & Phil provides it.

      This has everything to do with options. Have you noticed the volatility lately? I was ready to make two trades that would have both been 150% gains and then whoosh-they were gone in the LAST half hour of trading!! This happened not once, but twice in a row!! I was out of the country trying to keep tabs on my options and this just plain blew me away. (and my puts, by the way.) It is definately a different market out there and if ANYTHING is making money, I take it off the table Quick!! The Fed sticking there nose in the market is insanity, as if things weren't tricky enough as they are without their "imput."

      This government is amazing-we can't "afford" insurance for the 47m uninsured in this country, we can't "afford" to negotiate RX for the elderly, we can't "afford" to be truthful about the true inflation rate so that SS recipients can "try" to keep up with expenses, BUT we can afford to mess with the stock market & bail those people out who made unwise decisions both personal & corporate. Phil is right-its all about the super rich getting more & more & damn the cost!!

      Surprised you made money on Wynn Resorts. After having the misfortune of spending a week at the Sugar Bay Rsesort in St. Thomas because of a wedding, I wouldn't reccommend them to anyone but my worst enemy!! Terrible desk staff, messed up the reservation, and filthy, filthy with black mold in the rooms!!b Some of them smelled so bad you couldn't breathe. Meals were horrendously overpriced & mediocre at best. Hot tub was slimy, spa had the filthiest sink, floors & mirrors I've ever seen. They charge first class prices too, but i just cringed. The pedicure tub was black-God knows what lurks in there. I was happy to get out of there. Its to bad too because they have beautiful pools, setting and loads of things to do; miniture golf etc and have beach & bay exposure. No upkeep & repairs done at all.

      As usual you were right on. I was waiting for the shoe to drop & it finally did. Maybe there are three or four more investors around who remain cynical about this market soaring. Of course there are manipulations of the markets-why wouldn't there be? $ & greed is the name of the only game in town.
