Don,
Bravo my friend. But you'd better be careful. You're showing an intelligent, thoughtful and insightful side that may cause people to not underestimate you in the future. Bad JuJu.
Ride Safe,

Now although I am not a financial expert I do work at a Financial Services firm. Let me sum up. If you regulate the market, we all lose. If you deregulate the market most of us lose in the short term. If you elect a republican - no change. If you elect a democrat - no change. If you wait patiently, invest prudently over the long term, You make a little bit. No one get's rich. No one get's poor. Only those near retirement ultimatly suffer in these panic driven market fluctuations... Oh yeah, we ride Harley's so we're all old and near retirement. AAAAAYYYYYY run for the hills. Get the guns. SELL SELL SELL Mortimar.
Invest Safe,
J-Carr
