  • Four Reasons We're Headed Even Higher [View article]
    No Leaf Clover,

    It is pretty clear you are new to SA. "things will get better eventually" ? From an investment perpsective there is absolutely no guarantee. There has already been a 25 year span between peaks in the Dow once, it can happen again. Have you ever looked at the Japanese index, now more than 20 years from the last peak.

    Even today accounting for dollar inflation......our last peak....was NOT a peak.

    And since the indices are constantly changing their stocks by their own parameters, the stocks indices never REALLY recover. Hence your buy statement and logic are incorrect and dangerously flawed.

  • Seething Over Liddy's AIG-Goldman Connection [View article]
    That's funny.

    Dick Cheney's connection was very upfront and public. It was a government contract, not a gift of taxpayer dollars. If he had any significant money in Halliburton, he lost his short! Check the history of the stock price. Not really a great contract. Not really much of a scam either.

    In this case someone has lost their money and is replacing it with our taxpayer dollars. The conflict of interest information was also not disclosed by he or his current employer.
