Asset Class Performance during the Bush Years

I realize that 12/12/2000 is the day Florida was decided, but there's no way Bush would have any impact for another month. Bush was widely expected as the next president before that date. Why not use the Election Day or his inauguration date? Do these numbers fit your perpective better? The Commodity Futures Modernization wasn't signed into law until 12/21/2000 by President Clinton. Your premise that past legislation has no effect and the President Elect's future policies and decisions are the major influence of the equity sectors is seriously flawed and damages any creditibly your "Investment Group" has.

Oil Prices and 'Wash Trades'

I love election year articles. Oil is up -> CFMA2k -> Gramm -> McCain. McCain = Evil Thanks for the info Willy. I guess I should vote for socialism in November?

Oil Manipulations Exposed

I have a couple of questions I hope someone can answer:
1) Why wasn't the SPR full in 2002?
2) Wouldn't NYMEX traders be the wealthiest people in the world by now?
3) If so, how do I become one?
4) Is everything a Bush-led conspiracy?

I'm just about tired of every columnist's political rant. They claim the Bush administration is full of bumbling morons that somehow conceive and execute complex (and ingenious) conspiracies to fleece the American public.

If traders, speculator, republican, democrats, or martians are manipulating the tech, real estate, commodity, or stock markets, I don't really care. As long as I know a market is being manipulated, I can profit off it.

So what's the trade here? XOM, HAL, GS, USO, ATK, BA?
