Study after study over the past several decades has shown how countries that spend more produce less, while nations that tax less produce more. Obama is doing it wrong on both counts.
Tuesday: There are plenty of professional investors on wall st. who make a living betting on the future... Im just glad i didnt bet my last dollar on his recovery plan... if you have such faith, and anyone who does, should be putting their money where their mouth is, but until you tell me you are putting your savings into the stock market, I dont believe you really have any more belief in the chosen one as I do?
Tuesday: you have a lot to learn about the stock market.... let me explain one thing... the stock market prices into the future... have you ever heard the term buy on the rumor, sell on the news?
Basically that means that the stock market has already factored in the past and what happens today on the stock market is a reflection of their pridiction of the future.
Everything that has to do with housing and banks etc, has already been factored into the stock market long ago, and may or may not have to do with Bush, but what is happening right now, is that the stock market is factoring in what they think is the future, and it isnt promising... since Bam the past month has been the second worse for the stocks since the great depression!
Believe me, its not partisan to say it...... if the stock market liked Bams plans for this country, if they thought it would be a good thing over all for stocks, then the market would be souring right now... remember buy on the rumor and sell on the news... the rumor right now is not good, and if it was, by the time the average American figured it out, you would have already missed the boat, so to speak.
Czuch: I'm fine,thanks again for your concern..I am very diversified in my portfolio..a lil here,a lil there....where one fails,the others make up for it
anastasia: I dont think any of them are making up for it right now..... maybe walmart, gold was good for awhile, it hit an all time high though and has backed off, but unless you have been short selling.... you are losing the new shirt you bought today
Czuch: i never bitched about it when bush was in office....I'm in it for the long haul,Chuckie...I'm 36 right now...I don't plan on touching any of my investments untill I'm in my 60's
anastasia: It seems like a buyers market, and normally after a good correction I would agree with you.... but we had a good correction, then an election and now a new plan for the future... like I said, the market is way ahead of the curve, if the pros thought this was a good plan for stocks, the market would be going up already... remember, buy on the rumor, sell on the news... by the time you figure out the economy is doing well, the pros are already selling it off..... right now, its more like sell on the rumor and buy on the news maybe?

Czuch:Politicans ignore these facts because they are more interested in power than they are in actually helping people. BOB (BarakOBama) says he'll cut the deficit in half. Big woop. He just doubled it so that basically means he's going to do nothing about it.
He also makes promises and then breaks them right off. And lies. In his speech he claims that "no earmarks" could be found in the stimulus package. What a crock. That's a bold face lie and only an idiot will not see through it. Unbelievable.
Tuesday: Certain sources, however, state the baby boomer generation as someone born from as early as 1944 and ending at 1959 or 1960. thats what I found..does this seem right?? I'm gen X baby,yeah,lol
