Being involved in contracting work, I’ve done many state and federal government projects and have dealt with a lot of people employed in those systems. In my opinion, which means nothing, there is a ton of useless baggage there.

I really look forward to a new crash on the stock market. Either it will really really hurt Harry in his conceited speech, or most likely he’ll just come up with another good excuse. What’s nice when your sight hardly goes past 6 months is that you’re always on the right side. Some people are just in perpetual denial.

Harry, Don’t get confused between the financial weather and the financial climate, it is the longer range prospects we look towards here, and is not used to gauge the suitability to buy or sell stocks, you buy stocks when they are cheap, i.e. last winter and sell them when they are reasenably valued, i.e. anytime since October this year, 2009 was a great year for investing, 2010 should aslo be a great year for selected areas still showing good value, lets just hope we get another buying opertunity like 2009 in the near future.

Been commenting here since SPX 850 in July. LOL! Seems you doomers have all missed the boat. Don’t follow the blind leader. Look at what in in front of you. We see growth, employment gains, housing upswing, manufacturing strength, etc.

But oh no, just follow your silly leader who still thinks we’re in a “depression”. Seriously, are you people this ignorant???

An amazingly on-the-mark comment: “As the Soviet Union discovered, you can increase GDP by government order…but all you get is a whole lot of nothing.”

Now watch this about China (especially from 2+ mins): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0h7V3Twb-Qk

“But what about ‘wars of choice’ such as Iraq and Afghanistan? How much are they really worth? No one knows. And no one really cares.”

I’ll bet you’d start caring real quick if you knew how many Afghanisti’s were on board them 9-11 planes…….oh wait a minute…there weren’t any…….never mind!

I believe the whole public vs private economy is nothing more then a plot to get me off my lazy butt(MLB).

Right now neither is winning as there is nothing out there worthwhile to make me want to take risk. So, MLB will sit until the dust settles.
