Now Is the Right Time for a DRIP

DRIP's take some of the emotion out of investing and lead to that mythical goal of compound interest. The Schwab platform allows "one-click" access to set up DRIP's at any time. It's very convenient and easy to change. I have noticed that the share price IS marginally higher on the days that the DRIP shares are bought...so the market-timers DO have a slight advantage.

General Electric: Genuine Risk of Collapse?

The Dems are going to allow this market to sink until Inaugeration Day when their Holy Annointed Savior takes the helm...then they'll push through a middle class tax-cut, a corporate tax-cut, perhaps a capital gains holiday and one huge infrastructure stimulus package. Stocks will rally bigtime!! The Dems will deny the tax cutting had anything to do with the successful rally and give all the credit to Obama's leadership. Just like Reagan took credit for the freeing of the Iranian Hostages when he took office.

The last eight years proved Repubs could outspend the Dems...maybe the next eight years will prove the Dems can be fiscally conservative? I might have to go Blue!

General Electric: Genuine Risk of Collapse?

I'm not into conspiracy theories, but there must be a reason GE backed Obama?! Maybe GE management felt the Dems would be more willing to bail 'em out if they fail? Maybe GE likes the Dem's idea of infrastructure projects as an economic stimulus? Maybe the arrogant GE execs think they can more easily manipulate Obama & the Dems? Just honest speculation....
