Economic Stimulus Package: Too Much Pork, Too Little Stimulus

Amazing. The poor guy has been in office for about three weeks now and he is getting this critical BS. At least have the decency to wait a year or two before you throw the bomb or most liekly you will be eating your crow by that time.

Economic Stimulus Package: Too Much Pork, Too Little Stimulus

What a racist you are. Ignorance is bliss. My God. You blame everything that has nothing to do with this crisis. We are where we are because of corporate greed, the housing mess, Wall Street. Go put more fire in your outdoor cross!!!

Economic Stimulus Package: Too Much Pork, Too Little Stimulus

What hypocrisy!!! I find it amusing that under Bush we ended with the greatest deficit our country has ever had, a waste of one trillion dollars for a needless war, tax breaks for the very rich, billions giving to Bush cromies, corporations, and private contractors. And what the hell do we have to show for it?? We ended with the greatest economic chaos since the Great Depression. And all these idiots are now crying about all these "pork" which is intended to increase our public education, renew our infrastructure, and help create jobs. Republican pure hypocrisy.

Visa Rally May Be Short Lived

Your macro analysis is correct but I disagree with your micro analysis. Visa is not immune to this crisis. I agree. But the dynamics of Visa have not changed. People all over the world are turning to cashless transactions. Debit card use has and will continue to increase. Substitution is also a factor. Instead of using plastic for that big screen TV cosumers are using the card more and more for necessities. Yes, this economic crisis may affect Visa just like every other stock. But long term, yes please think two years from now, Visa will surpass MA as it takes its place as the leader of the financial card pack.

And one more thing. Anyone out there that takes the advice of anyone on these forums and loses money deserves what they got. Anyone investing solely on what anyone says has no business in the stock market. Stay with a money market. A serious investors needs to do their own research and base investments on what they know not what someone else says. So do your research and invest on what you know. No professional, no matter the experience, knowledge, and track record is always right. So if you make an investment on what others say and it goes bad, you deserve what you get.

I have decided to move forward on this matter. We all have better things to do with our time. This is a forum about exchanging ideas. Some ideas will be disagreed by some. An author may be totally wrong about a topic. An author may also be toally right. The stock market is not an exact science. I have seen many so-called analysts on CNBC be totally wrong about a subject. But one thing they have and we all have is the right of free speech. So moving forward, we need to respect each others ideas no matter what. We all need to be professionals. But I give a warning to anybody out there that tries to deny someone, anyone from voicing their ideas. Me and many others on this Alpha forum will not tolerate bashers, disrescpect, and outright attacks. We have a force now and we will used it to the letter of the law to protect anyone that is harass in anyway. So let's be professionals. Thank you.

You are entitle to your opinion as I am mine. Vwinner has a history of child-like attacks on many authors. I am not going to just sit around and take it. You want to defend Vwinner (yourself?) good for you. Just like I am entitle to say the guy is worthless. His only point is to attack others, no matter what the content. He is a menace, like a coakroach, and hides under other names because he is a sick individual. Go ahead. Get your kicks. But if there is one thing I hate is a pompous ass. And Vwinner takes the prize. So go ahead. Keep attacking others. It is not going to stop me one bit on voicing my opinion. Again, moron, I have 30 years of risk management experience and a degree in economics and industrial relations. I am a small investor, yes. But I will continue to say what I want and please as long as Alpha sees fit to print it. If you don't like it, take it on with them. But continued attacks just makes you absolutely with no credibility, Vdress.

Looks like oil is finding resistance at 115. Gasoline inventories were also lower than expected despite crude oil being higher. I agree with Goldman Sach's assesstment as I am a believer in Peak Oil theory. If this is the beginning of a new leg it only took oil a month and one half to bottom out. Here come the commodities if that is the case. I agreed with many that recommended, like myself, that this month was the time to buy commodities.

How is the author out of line? I posted an article and this Vwinner attacks me personally. Adding to this, the whole thing started when I decided to say on Vwinner's blog that I thought V would not see 100 this year just prior to 2Q earnings. Jon decided that this was too negative. So he deleted my opinion just like I if was in a communist country. So this so called expert boasted prior to 2Q earnings that Visa would never see below 75 and would see 100 before summer ends. This is very dangerous. I feel sorry for those that took his advice and bought V in the high 80s thinking it would go higher. The bottom line is if you disagree with someone fine. But V goes beyond that. He is the only one that is right and everyone else is wrong. That is being childish and immature. The guy really needs help and is really not worth wasting time on. So all you silly backers of Vwinner stay on his blog and let the rest of the investment world alone.
I hope Mr. Bill that you are successful in getting this clown off Alpha. You are dojg a great service. Thank you!!!!!

With that, I have had enough of the obvious insecurities you have. We all see what you are V. Give it up and see a doctor.

We all need medications from you Janice. I need a whole bottle of the stuff. But, gee, thanks for your concern. I am touched. by the way, my wife just told me there are great bargains today at Macey's. You just might be able to buy that pink dress with the yellow flowers you wanted so much. Be careful at night and make sure you do not catch something. If you are ever in the area of Winter Haven, FL let me know and we can take our conversation in person.

For the record, I worked as a risk manager in both insurance and private enterprise. I have an MA degree in Industrial Ralations from University of Cinci and an economics degree from Florida International. I retired in 2001 due to heart problems and live with my wife and three daughters in Florida. I am not a prefessional stock broker but have made money in the stock market for years and have NEVER lost my principal amount. So if Alpha sees fit to publish my articles and you disagree go take it up with them.

You are the dangerous one, Janice. You are a thought control, poor excuse for a human being. By the way, I saw a silver statue of youself on the vwinner blog. Perfect fit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
