Sidney,
I wouldn't worry too much about the stock market. If things go according to plan we should all be receiving our food ration coupons soon I. E. 1 egg a week, 1 oz of mystery meat, one cookie and a thimble of milk.
No more fatties in this country (This message approved by Fidel aka Obama and the Revolutionary Council)

[QUOTE=Jackson]Hi,
There's nothing silly about my statement, and I resent your implication that I don't have "even a remote clue"
I suggest that it is YOU who do not possess "even a remote clue".
The fact is that the country elected Al Qaeda's choice for president, and I'm sure that at this moment they are rejoicing at the prospect of their now inevitable success as they wait for the USA's inevitable capitulation.
Unfortunately, it would appear that the USA is once again on the verge of demonstrating that we collectively as a people don't have the guts to finish a tough job."[/quote]Well said, J. I thought I might be the only one to acknowledge this. Speaking for myself, it's my hope that liberals keep picking on the military, then cut their budget, so that history can repeat here like every other great nation that crumbled. Arm the men, teach them to kill, and then tell them they are obsolete, unemployed, and the cause of the nation's problems. This seems very unwise to me, but it's pervasive over here. For example, military votes were not even counted, even though they were mailed to the voters late! The good news, for me anyway, is that no matter who won, they will be out after 1 term, as the economic climate continues to spiral out of control.
Too much whining in the US, by people who have no "skin in the game". This is gonna bust hard, and the financial markets are foretelling this.
[QUOTE=James Bond 007]I guess it wasn't the classic landslide of Ronald Reagan 20+ years ago, but I guess media is calling it since Obama won most of the large states on the battleground (FL, OH, PA, etc)[/QUOTE]Does anybody find it ironic that Obama also did not know his father. Typical.
[QUOTE=Dodger Bulldog]Congratulations, America.
We have finally won our country back![/QUOTE]Back to what? In these situations, it is not foreign policy we need to focus on. Watch how the military is brought home to the US to quell riots, caused by rampant poverty (definitely in the future for US) Then it's just a quick jump to moving out the ingrates. It sounds hard to fathom, but even Rome was toppled by the "hired army", the visigoths. Things happen much faster these days, however.
For the record, I am not fearful of what's coming, as it's not me they'll be looking for!

DJIA 9,139.27 -486.01 -5.05%[/QUOTE]Just to put things in perspective. The Dow went up 1,510.36 in 6 consecutive days! It was time for a retracement. It will now probably test the 9,000 level before resuming its upward path. If it can get through 9,794 with some volume, we'll see 10,500 before we see the bottom again.
I think the odds favor Armageddon. I think the world financial system as we know it is fucked. I'm starting to stock up on food, for chrissakes. So why do I think the market will go up in the short term?
Because Sidney and most everyone thinks the market will go down. The market is one deviant son of a *****!
Suerte.
BTW, I was at the Alamo last night for the election results. It turned into a helluva Obama victory celebration. I can personally attest that young female Obama supporters are indeed better huggers and kissers than their Republican counterparts.
Sarah Palin couldn't name the countries in NAFTA (US Canada and Mexico) and thought Africa was a country not a continent.
Reported by Carl Cameron from sources in the McCain campaign.
I know the election is over but, well, I was right.

Jackson[/QUOTE]Connect the dots for us Jackson. How is Obama Al Qaeda's choice for President?
I personally spent most of my adult life as a military officer, in a sector that provided a relatively clear view into subject at hand. On retirement from the military, I worked in a national security position for almost five years. I may not be 100% current on certain details, but I think I'm pretty clued in to the big picture of how we're really going about fighting Al Qaeda. And certainly clued in enough to say with some confidence that your statement is silly, and that you do not, in fact, have even a remote clue.
Highly recommended read on the transforming effect of Obama's election:

Ask yourself this question:
If you were Al Qaeda senior management, which of these two men would you perfer [u]NOT[/u] to have as the US president?
A) Obama.
B) McCain.
Thanks,
