Why Patriotism and Your Portfilio Don’t Mix

This Is Not "the Big One"

Sorry... My wife forget to give me my meds.

OOP's on Bush being better than Hoover... He's Worse.

This Is Not "the Big One"

Well, I AM GLAD that President Bush has had our Social Security Privatized so I could invest my money my self !
I put it in those solid rocks of Wall Street and didn't take any chances.
I put it in Goldman Sacks, Merril Lynch, Wachovia, AIG Insurance to let my retirement grow and live my last few years in peace and security!
I really love the President. He's the Best Ever.
Right After Hoover !

Is This a Recession? Wrong Question.

If your financial life is crappy, then (No matter what they say) you're in a recession.

Robert Fitzgerald (1961) said...

"Sing in me, Muse, and through me tell the story
of that man skilled in all ways of contending,
the wanderer, harried for years on end,
after he plundered the stronghold
on the proud height of Troy. "

Hopefully after being harried for these last 7.5 years, we will finally come out of the darkness into the light.

It's perhaps strange that a man of light (skin) put us into the darkness,
and hopefully a man of the dark (skin) takes us to the brighter days.

Wednesday Outlook: How Far Can Bulls Take It?

Spoiler Ahead....

I saw the movie and the Empire fails and the rebels win.

I believe Emperor Bush will go the way of Emperor Palpatine.

His own quest for power and control will cause his downfall.

but, that's just my view of future history...
The problem with the future is you have to wait so long for it.

“A Whiff of Panic...”

Promised Land, Unpromised Land,

Oil Shale, Oil Sands...
I see pollution and extreme energy to get a barrel of oil from those locations. To be profitable I suspect that oil will have to sell for at least $200 a barrel. And the cleanup from the process will cost at least $100 a barrel.

Oil Sand and Oil Shale just ain't gonna happen in my (limited) view.
