Hank's just a f'n Eeyore.

He must be a blast at parties.

You are definitely not alone .... although a few stocks have done me well ... a few others have completely trashed any logical thought process.

I didn't write those stories Dave, I'm just passing them along.

Over the long term, stocks have followed an upward trend.

Your odds of beating a casino have remained constant.

This is what I'm wondering: the market reacted today on news Euro nations were selling massive amounts of debt to banks and other financial institutions and those B's and OFI's used heavily discounted money to buy that debt. Sounds good until you realize the interest those countries have to pay back is upwards of 7% or so. Where do those Euro countries get the money to pay that rate?

The jelly bean fields.

You know, the same place you find fiscally responsible Democrats and Republicans that aren't insane.

word......

Nicely stated Dan and without even setting someone on fire.

You choose which to pass along. One can always find market geniuses that are certain the market is about to shoot up - or down.

Here ya go Dave...quit whinin'.

Buckle Up!

Wall Street strategists see U.S. stocks rising 12% next year, but most of the gains will come in the second half. Europe's response to its problems will call the tune. The case for big dividend payers.

"Hank, I think your [Bleeeeep!] is only 1/2 empty. Pour some more koolaid in that enema."

Fixed it for ya.

"I didn't write those stories Dave, I'm just passing them along."

Did someone accuse you of having original thought?

"This is what I'm wondering: the market reacted today on news Euro nations were selling massive amounts of debt to banks and other financial institutions and those B's and OFI's used heavily discounted money to buy that debt.

Your problem is you listen to that crap. The next day the market goes up yet nothing has changed.

Hank also sagely told us that hyperinflation was just around the corner - that was about two years ago. But the idiots Hank listens to told him it was as certain as night folowing day. Yet . . . .

And he's back to denying climate change once the record heat wave subsided.

Keeeerist knucklehead! take something for your diarrhea,

If so then it must make good bait because you are following behind eating it up. I'll eat some peanuts just for the little performing monkey.

sorry I didn't realize you had a stutter problem. Avoid the peanuts or
you will be just another chimpanzee tossing feces around.

stlhead hasn't had a thought, original or otherwise, since the Johnson administration. Nothing exists in a vacuum.

In my case it's laziness because it doesn't require much thought to stay on top of you dolts.
