If Obama gets elected (I'm living in Illinois and he's DONE NOTHING for this state) you can look forward to a politically correct administration accompanied with 12% un-employment, double digit interest rates and lot's of feel-good rhetoric 'bout "helping Americans".

I think we already went down that road with Jimmy Carter. Remember him? You must 'cause he's STILL shooting his fat mouth off all over the world. Oh yea, his Middle-East policy unseated the Shaw of Iran so the religious zealots could (and still do) reign!!!

It's gonna be a wonderful world - if just Obama can get elected!!!]]> Sun, 08 Jun 2008 14:49:14 -0400

Yea, I remember that one. I suspect we may be forced to join the Chinese and drill our own oil off the gulf of Mexico. Jeeze, what's it coming to...]]> Sun, 11 May 2008 13:10:17 -0400

But I also own some 10 year Treasuries (mature 2010) that look pretty good today. I'm not a bond expert by any stretch, so I liked the read above. I still concentrate 40 - 60 percent equities and that is where the real growth is realized. But 40% bonds & bond funds have certainly smoothed things over the years. I just invest for myself and I'm certainly no expert - but I'm happy with my long-term results.

Every admin since has perpetuated the problem. Quite simply, ever and always, growing government is the culprit. And too many (way, way too many) Fat, Dumb & Happy Americans increasingly look to Daddy Government to hand them more.

This will all come to a miserable end because what's left of the Free Market will punish us. You simply can't handcuff Capitalism.

My question is - where the heck does one find safe haven in this coming calamity? Hard assets? A stash under the matress? Loan sharking? (oops that's already being done)

Any ideas?]]> Sun, 13 Apr 2008 22:31:51 -0400

Having said that, today we have trailing stops (percentage is my favorite type) to protect us to a reasonable degree and conditional buys that are helpful, too.

Finally, asset allocation is something to be considered very carefully in all market conditions. And adjusted, if necessary to reflect uncertainties. 'Nuff said - for me...]]> Wed, 05 Mar 2008 12:35:38 -0500
