Is Wachovia's $150 Million Ad Account Smart Spending?

We were asked to comment on the article not on what is going on at Wachovia and the financial mess which I hope will be settled today. Many have posted important and interesting information.

Dave Mazz (3rd post) is correct about his comment: I have to assume that the first two commenters, who seem to be more-interested in Julia Boorstin.

But very wrong on his assumption: than in Wachovia's financial position and do not own any Wachovia common stock.

How about 3K shares and a few hundred K in Cd's and in a security account. Looking at Julia's beautiful face was a nice distraction to the current situation. The article did nothing for me and I am well aware of the possibilities here but don't think we will be following your scenario.

Is Wachovia's $150 Million Ad Account Smart Spending?

Wachovia has so many issues at the current moment that I am not concerned about their 150M ad account it is small compared to the big picture at this time.

I have to admit I was more interested looking at you Julia then the article.

Will Interest in Alternatives Continue if Oil Goes Down?

Good article.

I think we need all forms of energy oil, gas, wind, solar, nuke, clean coal or anything else they can come up with. I do agree that Ethanol is problematic and we should drop it.

They should open additional off shore on shore sites and make a % of the profits go into these alternative sources of energy so that in time we are free from oil.

If gas prices at the pump drop below $2.75 we should start increasing the tax and keep the price up use the extra money for alternative sources of energy.

Some day we all should be able to use energy for our autos and homes which are half of what we are paying now. Also the costs of food and almost everything else can be reduced.

Why we allow this risk to our national security and export $750B a year to many countries that hate us is as mindless as our energy policy has been for the past 30 years.

I would vote to take 10 years of $$ pain to be free from foreign energy dependency in order to give my grandchildren a more secure and financially strong country.
