Since I generally shy away from Politcal comments, and at least think of myself as Independent and moderate (thus the Political moniker of "progressive capitalist"), this may sound a bit odd.
This World has gone topsy-turvy, and I am having trouble figuring out which political pundit to agree with, when they all are blowing each other's "smoke."
1. Rush apologizes (Good thing), Rush goes to Rehab (Wish him all the best). "Could have gone to Rehab "before" getting himself caught in ringer, but nonetheless a good thing.
2. Democrat Colmes (Hannity and Colmes) defends Rush and says his show will gain many listeners, "come back stronger than ever."
3. Arnold is a portrayed by Dem's as a "groper"....come on Guys, what ever happened to "those in glass houses"? Gray Davis' group was desperate, started sounding like Rush did about Clinton.
4. "For the War?" "Support the War?" Who in the Hell is "for" the war? Helping people in Iraq is great, supporting the troops is a must, but Demo's debating, trying to walk a thin line between supporting war, and demanding we get out of Irag is just hilarious. (Gotta have the candidates on Saturday Night Live!).
The economy is still in the toilet, we "need" $87 billion added to the deficit by the administration, France is Laura Bush's friend again, CEO's head for Jail, Grasso bails out, Mutual Funds are "Front Running" their own customers, Accounting Firms are run out of town on a Rail.....nearly zero interest rates, Unemployment is still very high.......
and......and.....and.....the Market is at yearly highs in what is historically the worst time of the year. Yaaaggghhh!!!
I say let the pundits fight it out with Don King, and we traders will continue to make the best out of, what will hopefully be, a highly liquid marketplace.
(Hmmm, might read this on the air today)......
