[grandma]

Well Had a great Christmas with my family, Son and Daughter are doing great!
Had a wonderful New Year! Ushered in with my church family.

I'm glad to hear that, Frixxxx! No mental repercussions on the events of this past year are the benefits of prayer life!!

 

[Frixxxx]

[XL-entLady]

Glad the blocks are working for someone!

Best of new years to you and yours, my friend!

MLK Day!

Birch is going to church?

Yeah and I'm really happy for him. It's a long story man (and a very horrible one) but it's been many years. Not only is he going but they found one the whole family are 'good' with --- that sweet little Buzz is going too. It gets even better !! Honey Bee found the son of a Full Bird Col. -- and their extended family are going to the same church.

It's a little different than your typical church service in that most of the focus is on the 2 younger adults (Buzz and her man) - and they say things to each other and make exchanges and it's pretty deep with symbolism and stuff. It sounds really cool -- like a sacred cerimony -- so I'm pretty excited about it.

Anyway it's on the 23rd -- and your day will be perfect as I'll have a lot more time to pray.

Well have a good night my friend and thanks.

New year and we are postive and that means a positive ending to the year.

Interesting that Argentina has seized 401K and retirement accounts to pay government spending...see coolhand's account talk.

Status of TSP ~ 60% - C / 40% - S

I think there will be a lull this month after the 2-3% gains, so I can withstand the boring movement.

Oil - hmmmmmm - anyone really watching this? I know nnuut is not happy with the 83+ number.

Foregin Currency is stagnate between 91-93.....fib's are retraceable.

Had my reserve weekend and missed out on most of the conversations but it was enlightening!

Have a great trading week all!

 

[Frixxxx]

Still 60-40 C-S
I am neck and neck with Rod on the AT

Retail and CPI this week aren't forecasted very high, so if we miss these numbers, watch out below!

Hopefully everyone is getting some return on the Yen, it hit it's retracement support at 91 and is on return trip..... grab some pips and enjoy the ride! 93 is the top, but could get a nice return with a stop/loss at 92.

Happy investing all!

 

[Frixxxx]

Still 60C 40S - oh well

Went to the well too much, thought I could stay in for a little this morning...

Well, I'm in through next weeks shenanigans.

Gone for three days and maybe more.....need a break from posting and I have a few test scenarios to perform on the GBP/JPY pair.


Good Luck all.....I think Show-me will be back on top tonight!

 

[Frixxxx]

Still 60C/40S

Well, looks like recouperation today. I think a little sell-off in the last hour will occur.

I got some serious rest this weekend and my back tests were a little flaky due to bad data. 16 hours to repopulate environment. AAAAAHHHH!!!!

But that helped in the rest department.

Interesting fact~ The man who freed the slaves with the Emancipation Proclamation was Republican. He was one of four candidates. He did not win the popular vote, but did take the electoral college. His name was Abraham Lincoln. Interesting perspective, don'tcha think?

Great investing~check Rod on AT, That's where I'm at!

I think the far more interesting fact -- is based on the true story of the man in England who brought an end to the Slave Trade.

In the movie 'Amazing Grace' -- you see the true pioneer of someone who sees the Truth for what it is and devotes his life accordingly.

I feel the same for the handful of women who pushed for the right to vote and to make themselves known as 'equals'.

The most overlooked FACT is that Abraham Lincoln openly, and by the written records, showed that he regarded the Negros as a 'Lower Class' of people and in no way equal to the whites and that they were never intended to be equal with the whites.

His desire to end 'Slavery' in no way equates with a desire to give them 'equal' standing.

You would hope that as our Nation matures we learn along the way. I would bet if Abraham Lincoln were alive today he would be a peoples champion.

I'm sure I had to have believed that in my youth ...

When you look at where our Nation has gone from 50 some years prior to TODAY ... it's hard to honestly see 'maturity' or substantial improvements along the aspects of life that so deeply define us.

In many ways it appears we not only fail to learn by our failures but have more focused on the art of hiding them. Here I mean the world at large.

Our view of Abraham Lincoln (and I'm from IL) is a very deep and long seated belief that largely makes him bigger than life. If Abraham Lincoln were alive today as President of the U.S.A. and started his presidency at the same moment Obama did: There is no way possible he would have been able to spur Economic Growth any better; no way he would be able to any better face the ever growing conflicts in Congress; that he could have us any closer to being out of DEBT; that the struggles in Iraq/Afghan/Hatii - and the rest would be any different; that the BANKS and all the rest would be any different.

Whatever we believe about Abraham Lincoln (and I personally have a very good view of him) --- that view would be totally destroyed if he became President when Obama did.

Steady,

My personal observations from the studies of President Lincoln:
1. He was very much a lawyer!
2. He seemed to approach law from the "scales" perspective.
3. He usually commented on the law as dry as the law is written.
4. He believed that people are flawed inherently and it is the flaws that need to have laws.

Remember, without people their is only one law, the law of God! And he only asked us not to eat the fruit of ONE TREE!

 

[WorkFE]

that view would be totally destroyed if he became President when Obama did.

Not sure what you mean here. I read this as Obama is a far better leader under these conditions than Lincoln could have been. If that's true IYO, I believe you underestimate the climate under which he was president as I believe people do the same under the current administration.

He, also like Obama, was president during one of the U.S.A.'s darkest and most difficult times; when you consider The Civil War and all that transpired during his Presidency. He had some Mental Health issues that would have made it even more difficult and his wife most certainly had some problems

Actually I'm very much a 'Lincoln' man -- and I was shocked when I went to Charleston, NC to read what he really thought of the black race. I'm not trying to 'insult' him -- am only bringing to light that his endeavor to end Slavery --- in no way comes close to him either recognizing blacks as equal to whites -- or that he ever (by his written record) meant for them to have a remotely similar status.

BTW - when I registered Republican many years prior - it was because I believed they were stronger morally and ethically... kind of thought one was 'good' and the other was 'bad' ..

Not sure what you mean here. I read this as Obama is a far better leader under these conditions than Lincoln could have been.

Oh my friend, you have me laughing. I meant nothing of the sort.

If that's true IYO, I believe you underestimate the climate under which he was president as I believe people do the same under the current administration.

What I meant was -- even if you took the VERY BEST president we ever had and put him in the exact same circumstances that Obama faced when he started his Presidency ....

.... that it would be totally ridiculous to honestly believe that any other person (male, female, black, white, Jew, Gentile, or anything else) -- that any person would have been able to Seriously:
Got the USA and World on a Strong Recovery
Brought an end to the Wars
In any manner brought 'unity' in Congress
Brought the States out of Debt
Remotely stopped anti American sentiment
Reduced unemployment to say 5%
Elimated the wide baragge of wasteful programs/spending
and all the other things....

What I ultimately believe is that the present climate (power and legal system) Globally and U.S.A. would have prevently him from doing most of the things he in his heart would strive to do.

I believe as a man -- simply by the Character he demonstated and I have become convinced he maintained -- he would not only have beat Obama (but every other President during my lifetime).

Well,

Looks like there is hope that a non-democrat will be elected in Mass.

I thought there would be some profit takers at 1150, but color me wrong.

If you were in like me, I was glad to make back Friday + a little. Probably go up to 60 (ROD is 60C40S) on the AT.

Good night all!:nuts:

 

[Frixxxx]

Basically one could take items 1 and 4 with a chunck of 2 and say that Lincoln today would have been a Democrat.

Um, no. He was a lawyer and would have clearly been a Republican. Notice Steady's comment about his views on the slaves. This is really accurate. He actually commisioned merchant ships at the time the Emancipation Proclamation to assist in returning the slaves to their lands of origin.

The only other issue with a "Republican" being an emancipator is that Republican and Democrat of 1860 have nothing to do with Republican and Democrat of today. You can make that opposite analogy as recent as the 1960's. Democrats back before the 70's were MUCH MORE CONSERVATIVE...while Republicans were much more socially liberal. There was a huge reversal in the past 30-40 years.

What you could safely say...was that since the 1800's Conservatives were much more for slavery and apartheid...while liberals were much more for emancipation and equality. Lingering aftershocks of that continue to this day.

Since the "General Welfare" debates of 1913, Democrats have focused on government intervention where the laws were lacking. This assisted in the formation of unions and laws enacted to protect people. Republicans stayed focused on the "laws" and wanted very little emotion injected into it. The divergence of law versus people really came about during the Roosevelt presidency 33-45. The protectionism of the US was sharply met by a global nose thumbing. It took the NEW DEAL to incorporate all citizens into an AMERICAN DREAM and bring us out of the Depression. Hence the current view that Democrats are for people's general welfare and the Republicans are for the welfare of the union and let the people function within the laws of the union.

Thanks for visiting.

My GUT tells me Steve Brown will be the next President if he is elected in Mass.


Good night all!:nuts:

Hey that's my line ----- but it's sounds wonderful so we'll let it ride


BTW FireWeatherMet --- it's good to place a face with the name

Right on bro !!!!!!!

This is actually my point. Slaves, regardless of color, from the beginning of time were considered mentally inferior. Had he had the widely accepted scientific knowledge and common acceptance of todays population the outcome would be the same without the naysayers "in no way comes close to him either recognizing blacks as equal to whites"

It's been fun, let's do this again. Be in to win
