Leaving for awhile....

Quote from Lobster:



I don't think so. If the war takes longer than expected, he would not benefit from his portfolio's performance. And as soon as the war is over, which is the most likely time for his return, his portfolio would be in trouble, and by the time he gets to log into his account he will be lucky not to have received a margin call.

But of course, nobody knows what stocks will actually do.

Actually, there is still some time after the war is over before someone is finally and completely discharged.

If my comment had been pro war then you would'nt mind me crossing the line.

I am not a pacifist. In an earlier thread I complained about our soldiers being forced to fight this war with their hands tied behind their backs and I stand behind that comment.

I've done Military service so perhaps I know a bit about the reality. I've never opposed a war previously but this one is bullshit. Bush and his boys have miscalculated, why do you think they have to send a further 100,000 troops?

The biggest joke is that the operation is called Iraqi Freedom. This war is meant to be about WMD but to make it more palatable to stupid voters we are now "liberating" the Iraqi nation. Problem is that they do'nt want to be liberated ............and if they do then they certainly do'nt want us to be the liberators. The plan was that the Iraqi people would support us when we invaded but it aint happening and it wont happen so how are we going to win this one without killing lots and lots of innocent people ?

The essential problem with the Middle East and the Arab States is Palestine. Bush is not honest enough nor clever enough to tackle it and the result is that we are sucked into this Iraqi mess.

Your comments about your heroic friends and their great sacrifices so that I can sleep in a safe and free country brought tears to my eyes....................I can hear the violins ! The problem with people like you Ron is that patriotism blinds you to reality and makes you more stupid than you already are.

Next time you hear Bush on radio or TV listen carefully to his answers if he has to field a difficult question because he really does struggle to be coherent. He's obviously not a clever man and Americans are going to be realising this more and more.

I've known so many people who lied about being or having been in the military.

Ron, Its a good thing that you dont have the desire to debate politics in this forum because you obviously dont have the intellect.

Hope you do better at trading.

What the hell have you said that demonstrates any intellect. All you've offered are several assertions that prove nothing and/or are offered without any foundation or proof.

Thanks for everyones replys.

After looking at all the options I think its safest to just stay out of the market. I will not have to worry about it and if it crashes for whatever reason I will be safe.

Oh and for the one thats against the war. You stated you use to be in the military. Which branch where you in? What bases where you stationed at? Which squadron? What was your job? I just ask this because I got the impression you are not and never where in the military.

Also at what point would you support a military action against Iraq? After they destroy New York?

I had the same questions!
 
Toyland, good luck to you brother! I too have been told that I am being mobilized with the army reserves (although not where yet). I am still hoping its not going to happen, if only for financial reasons, and gained hope since one officer told me its not yet set in stone. However, others have said that it is for sure. Regardless, good luck, and I wish you and everyone involved a quick and safe return! :)
