We won't be China and Israel's concubine anymore and 3 hookers and champagne for everyone. Governments come and go the people remain in fact the everyday people are the only thing I like about this cesspool of corruption, this failed apostasy of small brained kapitalists and their faerytales of classless society where we are all patriotic brothers they can take that folderot and put it where the sun don't shine.dividednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-28552216459128104302008-08-26T02:45:00.000-06:002008-08-26T02:45:00.000-06:00The last person to listen to in this world would be Cramer.

The problem was that I always seemed to be voting for one who might (but never did) steer us away from the rocks of political failure. Now I cheer for the one who will crash us into the rocks most quickly so we can get to the business of restoring individual liberty. <BR/><BR/>In many ways, we pushed the USSR into financial insolvency. Only seems appropriate that they are doing it to us now don't you think?

A killer credit crunch early in the year sent the economy into recession. But a brief recovery that few believed in materialized into the spring of 1981, when both the economy and the stock tumbled into another, deeper down cycle.<BR/><BR/>The USSA is a planned economy. Presumably the planners can do considerable "steering" of securities markets, at least in the short term.<BR/><BR/>If Fannie and Freddie get nationalized over the Labor Day weekend (much like busted IndyMac bank opening under FDIC sponsorship the following Monday morning), it will be monster bullish for stocks ... SHORT TERM. Because every epic, landmark government bailout ends up injecting hundreds of billions in fresh liquidity which has to go somewhere.<BR/><BR/>Pimp my stocks, Hank! Then pimp my house.

I see it as a stepping stone to a complete socialized/militarized department of housing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-70933892816961687142008-08-20T16:08:00.000-06:002008-08-20T16:08:00.000-06:00again,<BR/><BR/>that REM song is coming to mind.<BR/><BR/>Dorian Gray? now THAT was a good book. <BR/><BR/>rickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
