You Better Protect Your Ass

Quote from ByLoSellHi:

Delusional thinking becomes delusional acts and causes economic agony.

Quite frankly, economic agony was my concern with Hillary. With NObama economic concerns, although serious, are secondary to National Security/Survival.

Quote from increasenow:

I call it "Voque voting"...voting for Obama...not knowing any issues, just cool to do,like the hollywood crowd does...

Only if you could get that bonehead of yours out of your ass, you would see what we all see even though that would be an exercise in futility.

I'm honored to have voted for Prez Bush in 2000 and 2004!

Explain that one to your grand kids in 10 years from now once the total ramifications of his incompetence are realized.

Much easier to do than to justify Slick Willy in the Oral Office...

Quote from ByLoSellHi:

Intense economic deterioration like I've never seen it.

Optimism. Pessimism. Realism. You can only use one.

A brief purview of the latest economic data gives all indications that we are going to have one mofo of a recession or even worse.

Come All Ye' Pollyannish, and dispel the economic demons with visions of dancing Goldilocks. If you do it, try to inject some realism into your reasoning.

This is just a smattering of the intensely troubling headlines as I glance at TODAY'S Bloomberg (normally, this much bad news would be in a 6 month run):


•Manufacturing in U.S. Contracts Most Since 1982 as Credit Freeze Worsens

•Auto Sales in U.S. Plunge; October Was the Worst Month Since 1945, GM Says

•Treasury May Borrow Record $550 Billion; Primary Dealers See Growing Gap

•Banks Tighten Lending Standards Most on Record as Economic Outlook Dims

•Blue Mountain Capital Freezes Withdrawals From Its $3.1 Billion Hedge Fund

•Bankruptcy Filings in U.S. Top 100,000 a Month for First Time Since 2005

•Goldman Will Likely Post First Quarterly Loss, Merrill's Moszkowski Says

•Lehman `Good for Retirement' Notes Prove Worthless for `Livid' UBS Clients

•Bernanke Push for Lower Bank Borrowing Costs Drives Treasury Yields Higher

•India, China Increase Efforts to Cushion Their Economies From Global Slump

•Beaten-Down BRICs See No Relief Even as Record Rally Piques Equity Bulls

•Ebh Bank, Sydbank Desert Denmark's Athletes, Artists Amid Financial Crisis

•Brooklyn Heights $550 Million Waterfront Condo Shunned as Demand Dries Up

»Daimler to Cut Jobs at Alabama Auto Plant: Financial Times Link

And to add insult to injury, there's the Bloomberg Video assortment of monumental gloom:

Editors' Video Picks

Jim Rogers Says Markets May Go `A Lot Further Down'

Edmunds.com's Caldwell Sees `No Relief' for Automakers

Wachovia's Vitner Calls Manufacturing Data `Disturbing'

Lonski Sees Manufacturing in `Deep Recession,' Rate Cuts

And just when its all about to go to hell, we hand the leadership over to the black guy and we get to blame him for it.

Who are these masses anyway? Wall Street assholes who fucked the Main Street? Plus, unlike Wall Street money whores, some people actually have bigger concerns when it comes to elections than just how their money will be affected by the outcome.

Gawd, what a fucking morons!

What bigger concerns? National securty, well I guess Obama will be better at that also than McCain. Get your head out of your ass son. The lack of intelligence of a common Obama voter is mind numbing.

Exactly. The economy can be and will be rebuilt. If we hand the Chinese/Russians military supremecy, we will pay the price some day and it won't be pretty.

Those countries do not care about being politically correct or world opinion.

Why the fuck do you think Joe Biden was selected as V.P.? Just for the hell of it? You're officially inducted into the EliteTrader's hall of shame as the dumbfuck of the year. BTW, no pun intended.

No one seems to realized that if your finance is wrecked, whatever national security you have right now is temporary.

I can do what Bush have done.

Spend 2T on military.
2T on tax cut.
Increase national deficit by 4T.

There, you have your lower tax and national security.
