Interesting times.

Oh yes, and today might be a really good time for E-Trade to stop running that stupid "I'm a baby and you just saw me buy stock" ad.

If people don't panic and the stock values decline and you continue to invest at the same rate you should make a killing when the market recovers, which it will.

But babies should not be subject to this level of risk! They should be in funds.

Clodfobble · 09-29-2008, 06:43 PM

No way, babies can tolerate the highest risk, because they have decades to recover.

I had an epiphany when I heard the bail out failed.

Instead of fear I had disticnt feeling of relief. That sinking feeling wasn't fear of failure. It was the fear of the governments failure to manage our money.

I like the house Republicans insurance idea. I like the idea of more oversight. I like the idea that the mucky mucks at the top will feel what broke is.

I like that feeling.

So I am wondering if my epiphany is that I am really a die-hard republican (old school )dressed up in Democratic rags.

Well pass me a friggin beer then - I need something to wash it down!

All I know is I just got an email from Bank of America increasing my credit limit.

Shrewd move, Stormie, but you do realise it was YOU that started the run on Wachovia that brought it down. I hope you're proud of yourself.

Actually, I just moved the excess funds (over $100k) and spread it around a bit. Don't want all the eggs in one basket.

Also, I don't think giving MORE money to the financial institutions who have mismanaged what they already had is the answer. That seems like throwing good money after bad...as the saying goes.

I'd like to think my letters and emails to my elected officials helped derail the bailout, but that scumbag Maxine Waters voted for the bailout anyway. She's never met a welfare she didn't like.

Shouldn't it be a rule that you have to live in the district you want to be elected to run?

Stopped at the club last night and they had Faux News on. I had to go outside after they found a way to try to blame the whole mess on Obama.

Wh-wh-wh-WHAT?

Did generations of old feel like their world was ruled by evil and greed, that we were going to hell in a handbasket, and that the end of the world must be nigh?

Yes, but that was only because the Pope told 'em so.

Wow thats a new one on me. I hears that there were some people well connected with some lenders who were working with or advising (whatever) Obama. I heard the same of McCain though. I think once you reach a certain point in politics there is so much money and power and and and coming at you that it corrupts even the most well intentioned.
