They're waiting for their free gas and mortgage payments. The check's in the mail.
“Worst. President Elect. Ever.”
Lol! This could be fun. If we can avoid the re-education camps, the next four years will be entertaining.
Interest double entendre title on that front cover of the NY Post about the hooker. She oughta watch her back.
LOL.........is that the same as ‘where ever you go......there you are’ ? lmao
I agree. It is scary to think a draft for girls could come to pass. My daughter is still young, but the thought of her being forced to fight makes me angry. Not all women are suitable for the military. Some choose it, and I respect that, but it’s not for all girls. For that matter, I could be drafted. While I would find it an honor to serve, I have two young children I would not want to leave. I suppose they couldn’t draft two parents at once though.
I stand corrected. I wil revise my initial post.
He and read eloquently.
One stock will have different variances than the overall market, of course. It’s the net of the 30 companies in the DOW that give the final numbers. But since most people, as advised, have a balanced portfolio, it’s the overall net gain/loss that matters.
Except for stock wizards like you!
What, attained the Peter Principle already??
chrissy matthews got so excited about that news that he now has a permanent leg tingle that might require medical treatment
jesse jackson and oprah are still crying
Yes, he was billed as the “Messiah”.
Buyer’s remourse is setting in.
I’m going to hold “their” feet to the fire and not let them forget their mistake.
I’m going to repeat that he is a threat to our security, freedom and prosperity.
I didn't care to get into picking individual stocks unless I knew something about the companies. However, with a background in dealing with USPS "statistics" and learning how to use them as a guide to designing forms, payment systems, and writing regulations I had plenty of transferable experience to use to evaluate movement with Index Funds, and thereby make a few bucks more than expected.
Frequently I was making more with my retirement fund than I was earning in salary.
BTW, go back to the old Lynch Curve. The Magellan Fund computed and followed that critter into billions of dollars. It incidentally coincided with the second derivative of a curve computed using nothing more than changes in monthly mail volume. Those of us who "followed" that curve came to the conclusion that Lynch had done the same thing only he never told anyone about it.
BTW, those numbers have been in the dumper BIG TIME in recent months.
Whoa - that’s way OVER my head!
Congrats on your big bucks, though.
The compensation is they put a lot of government employees in charge of everything!
So, the low bidder employee handles the priciest merchandise!
“He hasn’t done anything and already they’re running polls about his performance?”
It’s pretty typical for a new president’s popularity to soar right after the election. After the joyful celebration by all the network anchors Tuesday night and their fawning coverage of the Obama celebration party (you would have thought it was VE day), it should have soared more.
What this means is that most of the 48% or so of us that voted against him voted AGAINST him. Not FOR McCain. But until the R’s start remembering that they are a conservative party and not a pork party, that’s the best they can expect.
He hsa a pretty steep hill to climb—48% of the population is actively AGAINST him and did not change it’s mind even a little after watching the celebration. He will try to climb it by talking moderate and conciliatory and governing hard-left. He will let congress do the heavy lifting on the really nutso stuff. They will probably even stage manage a really crazy bill that he can veto, early on—that’s what they did here in Colorado.
Love it. lol
Look at the stock market. We rallied off the bottom about 2 weeks before the election as McCain’s poll numbers went up. Wednesday after Obama was elected - the market went down hard and the next day (yesterday) down hard again.
They blamed it on the jobs number or another economic datapoint. It is because Obama is a marxist. Wall Street has zero confidence in the guy.
Sadly, we and McCain did a poor job showing that everything fell apart in 2006 when Pelosi got in and we had the NO Energy Policy. Congress had a 9% approval rating.
If McCain had won and Sarah pushed domestic energy creation (we have FOUR times the Saudis oil reserves in the lower 48 in shale oil, coal diesel and ND oil) - we could have rebooted the economy in a year. Saudis wants us to be energy serfs. They probably donated tons of money.
If we have more illegal immigration/amnesty and more ACORN and more marxism we may never recover. We could have turned it around. Bush and Rove were almost no help.
