Why CEOs can't stand Obama

http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Investing/CompanyFocus/why-CEOs-cannot-stand-obama.aspx

I love the quote from Cypress Semiconductor CEO T.J. Rodgers, "Obama uses political rhetoric to demean me and my motives, but the fact is, I am completely happy with my motives and the morality of my decisions," Rodgers said. "My moral responsibility is to protect and grow the investment of shareholders." No responsibility to the company employees. Gee I wonder why Americans are loosing their jobs and everything is going oversea's.

It just occured to me (and no one else seems to be talking about it) that it's the end of the quarter and "window dressing" time. After that big, early run-up though, I'm inclined to think lower prices heading into October.

This builds on two previous posts from earlier this week...

Janet Tavakoli on the "Myth of the Immoral Debtor"; An email from a Charlie Munger student; "Business as Usual"

TJ Rogers? Oh yes, I remember him from "Real Men Have Fabs" (real semiconductor companies have their own manufacturing facility). Ah how the mighty have fallen.

I'm waiting for the decorators to announce their arrival.... I'm thinking they won't have any new "tricks" this year OR "Someone" from the WH will ask for them to "DELAY" the release of "BAD" information....:notrust:
Can't screw up the elections!

NOTE: For the words in "", please use the most SARCASTIC voice when reading them.......

Even "good" news has been getting revised consistently to paint a more realistic picture. Case in point...

While my intermediate term system (Seven Sentinels) has remained on a buy during this recent sell-off, my short term system has been on a sell since last Friday. It has now flipped back to a buy, although there's a chance we could see a bit more selling pressure today before we reverse back up. That's my take at the moment.

have to admit, it is looking alot like Feb-Apr this year.

This market isn't giving anyone any quarter. When it moves it does it in spades. Most of the MB is paralyzed now and it's small wonder given our restrictions and the volatility.

I may not say alot anymore, but I read an awful lot ! Your still one of the most valuable
tools this message board has to offer. AND, you don't charge a penny for your efforts !

The 2 strongest selling days Mar-April were OPEX Fridays

If you look at the leg between Feb 8 and Feb 24, the curve is almost identical to 8/30 to now, including the bumps.
Then the climb scaled back to steady
ps. I agree with your analysis of paralysis :laugh:

These "elitists" have a lot of nerve opening up their mouths right now.
