Keep looking at yourself in those shoes. You would look anywhere to avoid answering an honest question? Then tell others here that it is better to use a broker? Honestly Lookout123. When will you answer a simple question honestly?

Silly me. You take insult of a post that did not even discuss you. The post was about the economy and quoted a market monitor - until you started taking personal insult where an honest man would not. You still cannot even answer seven simple questions that any honest man would answer. Feel free to even try. Seven simple questions that any honest man would answer. Oh, I forgot who you recommend for president. I quess honesty is not one of your strong suits.

Don't blame me. You brought this on yourself.

All this reminds me of a silly dirty joke that my mother liked to tell. I had to hear it so now I get to inflict it on anyone reading this thread. My Mother grew up in the era of more formal ball room style dancing. Here's her joke: A man saw a beautiful blond across the danceroom floor and asked her to dance. She accepted and after the music for the dance had ended the man said to the blond, "I can tell you're not a real blond." The blond looked at him in surprise and asked, "How did you know that?" The man replied, "I keep my shoes shined." (*ducks to avoid flying objects*)

here are a couple of articles that i can link to that offer a more positive outlook on the future of the market. sometimes it helps to consider sources other than the market watchers who make tv appearances. Milton Ezrati is one of the economists i follow.

Secular Bulls - Secular Bears
Bullishness and History Revisited

edit: ok, i just found out that i can't link directly to the article. in the right hand corner of the linked page click on Economic Insights . the names of the articles are Secular Bulls Secular Bears, and Bullishness and History Revisited.

That guy is a touch fuzzy with his number comparisons and way, way too positive, to try and claim that the level of household debt is not an issue by comparing it to household assets in not my idea of good analysis. There are some big ugly problems floating around and the situation at the moment seems to be a very delicate balance of a huge number of factors just about balancing each other out, it's only going to take a domino or two for something really messy to happen. Short term isn't too bad, damoclean swords aside but the long term - particularly if bush is re-elected - is well, I'll be looking at gold, put it that way.

Gold is now at $426.00/oz, up $2.00 from Friday. Gold can be a roller coaster, but for the last 4 months its over-all trend has been up. I'd say people are worried.
