Most people DO NOT understand stimulus money:

All this stimulus money BHO is asking for + all the stimulus money already approved and/or spent by Congress + all other future bailout funds are monies that are completely fabricated.

Home prices in most jurisdictions need to be adjusted further downward.

Take advantage of any short term run up in market.

Giving Federal money to Detroit to become more competitive is like performing brain surgery through the anus!
The long way to get at the problem and lots of poops blocking the way. It is possible that it will happen for the next couple of weeks.
I see no reason to be optimistic about anything beyond that. The [...]

Are you still trading at 3:00 pm everyday in stock market?

Today: Still have low volume. No one wants to trade at this price.
It is either way too high or way too low. Take a (tenative) guess. The volume was low 300 points ago, and yesterday too. And the whole way up, the week before that.

Only when a society has provided [...]

Another joke

TRANSCRIPT of my conversation with my Congressman’s local constituent office:
“Hello, Congressman Olver’s office.”
“Hey, I just want to let you know that if Rep. Olver or Senator Kerry or Senator Obama support this taxpayer financed bailout in ANY way, shape, or form, that I will be voting for The Green Party across the boards in November.”
“Could [...]
