The clearest indicator of market swings is the Bush/Paulson factor.
Whenever either one of them opens his mouth the market tanks. Paulson
was all over the TV today, you watch and see, tomorrow the market
takes a nosedive.


Nope. And had nothing to do with Paulson or Bush. Market was up too
much yesterday. So it corrected itself today for the mistake it made
yesterday.

Its all about the current economic conditions and confidence that the
new administration can fix it.


You know what it's all about, do you ? The very best economic
experts all over the world haven't a clue but *you* know what
it's all about. Why are you wasting your time on Usenet ? A
guy with a keen mind and the breadth of knowledge you posses
is sorely needed in the halls of power.

GET OFF YOUR ASS, MAN ! Report to Washington RIGHT AWAY !!
Your country needs you !!

Sorry. No time. Day trading takes up my day. And I'm doing quite
well, thank you.

I did my Washington penance in the 90s. Never again.

LOL ! Yeah right. That janitor job mopping the floors and wiping
the toilets at the Treasury Building doesn't really count, PB. ;-)

These anonymous guys are truly a hoot.

You? *Think? *;-)


Yep.I know very smart people who thought they were day traders and
felt real cleaver until the day they lost their shirt. I was so dumb
that I had to use all of the 5-6 investments that are much better than
the crap game called the stock market so I could retire at 57.

Congrats at the early retirement.

Yeah, there are a lot of people trying to make a buck or two in the
market. I retired at 57 a year ago and started trading in that market.
I don't think I'm all that clever in the market, but playing the ultra
shorts since since the end of September has worked out.

Hate America? Not at all.

Why do you put words in people's mouth?

There's profit in it for Obama.

To be sure, many of these attitudes were pre-existing conditions; but
it is imho a disturbingly dark spot on the media and those who profit
from it that so much effort was spent in tearing down candidates and
their supporters and so little on an unbiased examination of the
issues.


It's not the media's fault, it's the citizen's fault. Nothing is
Bush's fault either. Everything bad that's happened to this country
is ultimately the responsibility and fault of the citizenship. I
don't mean that completely literally - I'm not trying to be
controversial by saying we brought 9/11 on ourselves. (Having said
that, Bush has created a very bad situation for us in the world.)

I laugh every time I hear someone complain about bad service, and then
buy their products from Best Buy because it has the lowest price. And
I laugh every time I hear someone complain about politicians, and then
vote based on how the politicians play the game and how the media
paints the pictures.

The National Enquirer exists for a reason.

I surely know that many here and in real life disagree with me; but
last night was a great moment for this country. It could, if the
lessons are learned, show us a new way forward in the way we interact
with each other politically, socially, and personally.


Well, I hope so.

Well be careful. I hope you are not depending on the stock market for
your retirement income. I would also hope you are putting your money
on the USA and not betting on her demise. And I would make sure I was
not putting my money into hollowed-out companies that are just US
marketing and distribution arms of Red Chinese companies controlled by
the Communist Party.
