nasa1974's Account Talk

I haven't decided what to do yet, but leaning to staying 100% "S" today and making a move tomorrow because of the long weekend.

The obvious answer to your question is, people are easily led astray, willingly almost, to keep the status quo.

I like the idea of a strong stock market but that doesn't really relate to a strong economy right now. Too many people still out of work. Plus a strong market helps your larger companies to reinvest and increase employees, but doesn't necessarily relate to bars and restaurants. So in our current environment a strong market is not a strong economy and I'm not sure why certain people are using that analogy?

'Led astray to keep the status quo' that's like 'military intelligence' :cheesy:

I did a quick survey so maybe I missed someone. Anyway here are the numbers.

Birchtree is number one with 1,781,098 views

Maybe I should have clarified that it was under the "Member's Account Talk". I wonder how many total views Tom has.

By the way. Great job Norm. You da man!!

 

[nnuut]

I don't do much in my Member's Account Talk, unless I make an IFT!! 16 years is a long time, but I love it!!! And--- thank you for all you do.

Still sitting in the "S" fund. It looks like I might make up half the loss from Friday. Still over an hour to go so anything can happen. Sticky pants deployed as a precaution.

[nasa1974]

Don't know what happened but the market just took a crap.

 

[Cactus]

It's been tending to do that near the close lately.
