Why is it we can't get smart people to do the right thing? Not really looking for an answer. :notrust:

Good link, it seems they are at it again, doing something STUPID. I wonder who is behind this?

Why can't we convince people that doing nothing is actually doing something. When did corporations get more privileges than citizens? Stop monkeying with a proven system.

Hope everybody has a good Labor Day. Be careful and enjoy.

Every time I turn around those jackarses are going on recess.

And threatening of a shutdown.
I'm getting really freaking tired of that line, real fast.

Cue the "starving seniors not getting SS checks, military not getting paid" talk in 3...2...1...

Luckily my Agency is funded through the Spring of 2012 via a continuing resolution. I am really tired of the shutdown crap myself. We have not had a Transportation Bill passed in years and have been operating through continuous resoultions forever. I wsh we could fire everyone of the Congresman and Senators and start completely over. They are out of touch with reality! Their blatant political posturing and disregard for Federal Emloyees financial livelihood just pisses me off. I don't care for our Super Leader, but damn it, pass something other than the elimination of "Don't ask don't tell".

 

[SteelSaving]

But that's a great thing, because now everyone is allowed to talk about their boring lives that nobody else cares about.
Success!

Re: your post #2575. It was the internet report from FT around 2:45 about a rift in the Euro Zone between hardliners and softliners on how to handle the Greek debt, between those wanting private investors (bond holders) to take a larger haircut and those not. See Tom's market talk, also my last post wherever it is. But the futures turned from neg. to pos. between 1:30 EDT and 5:09 EDT and continue pos. now (8:25 EDT).

Check out Tom's remarks for today, also CH's, and Uptrend's latest post, I think he pegs it for the rest of the year.

 

[Birchtree]

I'll take the opposite side of that bet on the rest of the year. We are going much higher.

Debating on whether I should move from S to C.

Possibly the lesser of 2 evils... at least in the near term.

G maybe?
