We like opinions on everything here. Your opinions are great also. But expect to be challenged here. Even Leg That Tingles would have his opinions scrutinized here. There are still some great stock pickers here that just tolerate the politics. But I think that you can not separate investing from the politics. If the government is not investor friendly people like me do not invest. Cowboy, Lion, Real, Marilyn, Manti are great stock players. Since I already have a little money it is more important for me to not lose what I have. So I focus on where the power is to take my money. This board is not for everyone but we try to keep it friendly for all those who want to express an opinion. Many people that follow this board got out of some very bad stocks because of opinions expressed here. We are not alway right but most here have a lot of experience in making money and protecting what they have.
Obama did notice the tea parties afterall. When he stands up and bitch slaps a few of the crooks in his own party he will get my attention. We just nailed a republican crook here in Florida. I hope no republican thinks the tea parties are just for dems. The republicans that lie, cheat and steal are going out the door with Dodd. Right now the best place for my money is in my head. I will sit and I will watch the crooks try to take each other out. I hope Fox will give free air time to people that do not have the money to buy the ticket to power. That way they can get elected without being owned by big power and big money. To quote Benjamin Franklin, "If a man empties his purse into his head, no one can take it away from him. An investment of knowledge always pays the best interest."
I am a sold out bull on ERHE. I hope Manti and Magic are getting fat. I made a good trade but sold out too soon. Sometimes pigs get slaughtered but sometimes they get fat. I hope our ERHE players continue to get fat.
If we could develop drug programs that worked we could have factories and businesses in this country that could compete. My son tried to get a friend a job but had to tell him that his company did not hire drug users. Drugs spawn a vicious cycle that creates jobs in the drug runner business, the drug producing business in foreign countries, the criminals who must steal and kill to get money to get drugs etc. etc, etc. Then we must spend about 30,000 a year on each druggie and each criminal that gets jail time. Russia is a third world nation with nukes and missiles. They make vodka and produce drunks. We produce drug addicts and lazy, unfocused workers.
I do not think an isolationist view is the way to go. China tried that and it did not work out well. I think Newt is the only man with the experience, smarts and toughness to pick up the pieces from the Obama debacle. I would like to see him and Jindall on a ticket. But we still have to survive the next four years. I expect that Dodd, Nancy and Barney will be hung around the necks of all dems in about a year and a half. They will smell like rotting skunks. That is why Obama is in such a hurry to cram in the socialist agenda. He has to beat the deadline.
I really value the contributions of all posters here. You and Lion add a different viewpoint which we all benefit from. And of course we have Reel to keep it Real. I guess I reacted from my viscera to the crazy woman, but you can see that even a loon can get a degree. Some of the dumbest bastards I have ever known have a lot of degrees. My son with no degree just got a call from upper management at his company. He was told how happy they are with his work. I was disappointed when he did not follow my foot steps, but it goes to show that lack of education is only an excuse. Most of what you learn in college these days is only bull shit anyway.
As I read the news I realize that the human condition has only a thin veneer of rational thought and insight. We are no smarter than our ancestors who lived centuries ago. We all just want to survive. The blacks in Haiti thought they could survive best by killing all the whites. We can see how that worked out. In Zimbabwe the blacks thought they could survive by killing all the white farmers. We can see how that turned out. So in order to get power you tell the people what they want to hear in order for them to survive. My father used to trust Walter Cronkite when he said thats the way it is. He used to trust Paul Harvey when he said good day. I try to be honest and use my life experience to make my decisions. But always knowing that I could be wrong. That is why you hedge your bets. Educated people do not expect their leaders to be infallible either because they studied history. One small error in judgement can doom a whole society. That is why we are so afraid of this president. He has never had to make decisions that make or break a business. In Illinois where he served in the state legislature he voted present when the stakes were high. Now he has the security of all the people in his hands. The people in Connecticut are finally throwing out a bum and a crook. But it took them over thirty years to figure it out. How long will it take for the people to catch on to Obama? The people at the Tea Parties were people like me and you who just want to survive. Sarah Palin is not educated in the ways of the crooks that run Washington or the purveyors of filth and disinformation that are found in Hollywood. But she is a real person who takes a stand and uses common sense. I will take that any day over a law degree from Columbia. Bill OReily has found a niche in explaining news events to common folks. Maybe he is the new Paul Harvey or Walter Cronkite that the folks could trust to tell them the real deal.
Know the enemy. She is barely a high school graduate. She could not have passed Anatomy for Dummies at my school. Here is one of her most famous quotes. Our country is founded on a sham: our forefathers were slave-owning rich white guys who wanted it their way. So when I see the American flag, I go, 'Oh my God, you're insulting me.' That you can have a gay parade on Christopher Street in New York, with naked men and women on a float cheering, 'We're here, we're queer!' -- that's what makes my heart swell. Not the flag, but a gay naked man or woman burning the flag. I get choked up with pride.
She used the Old Holder Maneuver Trick. Call people racist and they will run like hell. It did not work too well for the CNN reporter. She would not know a synapse from a brain fart. I think she was experiencing the later.
I think the problem was that US vessels have not been attacked until now. If we had done anything about the problem concerning other countries we would have been attacked by the Lefties in Europe. Now all we have to worry about is the ACLU attacking us here at home.
Unless a post is about another poster just put them up. I am sure many of our readers want to know how big a turkey the dems have put in the oven. Many are having buyer's remorse now and it just keeps on coming at us. http://news.aol.com/article/obama-adviser-linked-to-ny-pension-probe/432929?cid=5
I do too and that is why I sit on mine. You guys that successfully trade this market amaze me.
But even the rich and powerful could not protect scientists from religionists. They were to be feared then as they are today. They are absolutists and that is why I can not be a republican. http://galileo.rice.edu/gal/medici.html
Early scientists needed a patron to house and feed them while they did their work. Many were kept in the basement in the homes of wealthy land owners. They were kind of like a hunting dog today. The wealthy would gather and talk about their scientist as a novelty or status symbol. http://www.litjournal.com/docs/fea_pagan2.html
When I became a scientist I gave up faith. When I was a child I used to observe and question at a very young age. Then I saw all the nonsense in the bible and said those explanations might have worked on sheep herders and cave dwellers but I need facts. When I was in college I asked my religion teacher how a virgin woman could give birth to a son with human DNA? It is remotely possible to have given birth to a girl because all the DNA is there. I do not believe the hype in religion or on a penny stock board. We have set up this board to give people the confidence to state an opinion. We do not have a moderator here that will insult, disparage, vilify, ridicule or demean a poster here or his opinion. With the possible exception of lefties of course. We try to discourage them from posting here because they do not understand a civil society.
I credit my parents and my church for giving me bedrock values with which to build a life. This is what most parents now worry about most. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/family/5159766/When-you-lose-your-child-to-drugs.html
I am from a religious family. And yes they were hard working and honest. But you have to admit that a large percentage of the preachers especially on TV are just like politicians. They lie, cheat and steal from the ignorant masses. Remember when Oral Roberts claimed that God had appeared to him in a dream and was told to come up with 9 million dollars or he would be killed. He went on the airways and stated that he was about to be killed by God. Then the money poured in.
I think most religionists are ignorant nuts. But they have a right to make money from the ignorant just like everyone else.
And Homeland security has trained their guns on WE THE PEOPLE. Catholics, returning military, Ron Paul supporters, people that believe in God, people that do not support abortion, people that want fair taxes and people that post on this board are the new targets. Who is head of that outfit now? An Obama appointee of course.
This board was way ahead of the crowd and that is where you have to be when you invest your money. Did I sell my US real estate in 2006. Yup. Did I invest in a country that did not make loans to people that could not possibly repay them? Yup. Did I get out of all my toxic stocks before the crash? Yup. Am I a lot smarter than people that got trapped? Nope. I just do not read or listen to talking heads for my information. That is the same reason we know all about pump boards and hype on message boards. The majority is always wrong and they voted Obama. The minority takes the money.
When I invested in a foreign country most thought I was nuts. Mexico is a safer place to invest now than the US. They learned when the country went bankrupt. But we have Barney and Nancy here so no one learns anything. California is broke and any business that has the means has left. Texas is the strongest state in the union now and they will probably be the first state to become an independent country.
I hope the republicans do not think they are immune from being thrown out of office. WE THE PEOPLE do not want either brand.
But apparently WE THE PEOPLE are right wing extremists. This is the most dangerous power grab in modern history. George Soros has control of NBC, The New York Times, CNN, The White House, The Congress and is trying to infiltrate the military. In Turkey the military comes in to take the country back when the loons try to take the country. Can WE THE PEOPLE take back the country without help from the military? I sure hope so.
What I did not see yesterday. I did not see cars burning, stores being looted, police being attacked, foul mouthed shouting, women being molested, lies being shouted, threats being made and races being attacked. The only thing that stood out to me was that the leftists in the media tried to belittle, impugn, malign and trash the motives of WE THE PEOPLE.
Leg That Tingles claims that he has hard balls. NBC in another impressive maneuver is trying to land another democrat to be proud of. Illinois Rod is coming to a station near you. That is if he can stay out of jail. So we will have Leg That Tingles and Pockets That Tingle. Pockets full of money taken from WE THE PEOPLE with graft and corruption.
Al Sharpton where are you? There was a racist attack on a teenager. Oh I forgot black men can attack white teenagers.
The Obama administration has uncovered the real terrorists. They are the people that have served in foreign wars. The people that risk it all to protect and defend this country are under attack. Mr. Obama that is brilliant. Now you need to attack my sons who get shot at on the streets of Miami. Hugo would be proud of your work.
I am from Minnesota. I was educated in Minnesota. I used to be proud of my former state. Now I am embarrassed and ashamed and I will no longer say I was born in that stinking state. If the best you can do is send another clown to Washington to join Nancy the clown I have no desire to ever visit the state.
I spent the weekend with my granddaughter at Marco Island. Her mother was an immigrant from the Third World. She has a shirt that says "Mr. Obama I do not have three trillion dollars." He mother made it for her because she understands the third world and understands why she is here.
Now that is an apparent contradiction. How can I hold women in such high regard when I hold Nancy in contempt? Nancy is really defacto president. It was from her drawers that came the rape of the tax payers in the bills that no one read. Obama justs signs the bills that Nancy sends him with those thousands of earmarks. That he said he would line item veto. He is not in charge of anything with the possible exception of the dog with web feet.
It is going to get real nasty in the country. I just do not want this board to get nasty. That is why I have those heavies moderating this board. We must hold all politicians and their feet to the fire. They are ALL crooks and that includes presidents. When you bow down to the worst religion purveyor of contempt for women you should hurl everything you have at your disposal.
The people that feel the need to tell you how smart they are and feel the need to put you down are insecure. They retain the immaturity of teen years. They can not win against anyone who has life experience or studied history. They can bamboozle the fish for a while but even a school of the dumbest fish can sometimes find a hole in the net.
The only real advantage we have over the libs is that they underestimate us. Since they perceive their intellect to be superior and that we are too stupid to catch them in the act of lying, cheating and stealing we too can set traps for them. I drive an old car, wear an old hat, say "you betcha" for the affirmative, and spit tobacco juice make me easy to underestimate. Then I take the money.
Since I was a professor for about 40 years I have become quite educated in the science of dealing with lefties. First of all they are masters of manipulation and deceit. The one in the next office liked to play the friend and sell you out in private game. The big mistake she made was not checking my office at 7:00 in the morning. I went to my office very early to get some important work done. I usually worked afternoons and evenings. Two other lefties came buy and they talked about their agenda openly. It was about how to get me. When I walked out and said good morning to them they were in panic mode. Lefties often have a high IQ and do well in school. That is why they gravitate to jobs in education where you do not have to produce anything except bull shit. They could never make it with a real job. After they get caught they feel insecure but instead of being apologetic they attack. Then they band together like a pack of wolves. But they do not attack head on they try to bite to wound. Then they follow you as you bleed but always a safe distance away. They have a very low emotional IQ and often get hysterical and irrational when confronted. Obama just got a dog with web feet to help him herd the voters into the net. I watched a film about Obama voters and the level of ignorance was shocking. They were given quotes that Obama and Biden made which were anti American or just plain stupid. They did not know who Nancy was but they sure knew who Palin was. They attributed the stupid quotes to Palin. Since Palin is a real person who is one of WE THE PEOPLE she had to be destroyed in the minds of the fish who vote Obama. Leg That Tingles was one of the news anchors that they followed during the election. And half of the Obama voters that were interviewed were white. So ignorance is not unique to the black community. It is an American phenomenon and it is pervasive.
Moslems is perfectly acceptable. So are all opinions here. When you are on the left it is hard to stay away from the personal insults but just give it a try. Use Lion as your mentor because he disagrees with me more than he agrees with me. But has he ever asked me if I have no shame or if I am senile or retarded? No and that is why I asked him to go to Roatan with me. I would have enjoyed the debates.
I voted democrat but----. I hear this often now. Watch Hugo work. Watch Hugo put opposition voices in jail. Watch Nancy do the same. It is coming.
I remember a class that I had in religion. The professor was a very kind and trusting soul. I studied my butt off for the first test. I got a C even though I did very well. When I approached him he said that he grades on the curve. Since most students got a hundred percent on the test he could only give me a C. Then I found out that one of the students who worked in graphic arts made copies of the test and sold them to students. I could either pay to cheat or just take the score that I had earned. I just took the C because in those days you did not challenge the professor and I refused to cheat. I wonder what I would have done today.
If you are ignorant but can breed like a rabbit and run like one too we want you to come to this country and vote democrat. If you are intelligent, hard working and creative we have laws to keep you out. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/12/business/12immig.html?_r=1&ref=technology
If anyone saw that wild eyed, foam at the mouth lefty on the Bill's show tonight you can see what my son has as a professor. They are loud, they are aggressive, they are hysterical, they are obnoxious, and they have zero tolerance for another's opinion. And they will turn on Obama. I had to see a doctor for months after I retired. His advice to me was stay away from assholes and you will get better. I am much better because I have great mods here to provide a serene place to discuss ideas. Stress kills and lefties cause stress. I think they are trying to kill me. The mods here try to keep me alive and I love them for that.
I find a ten spot and I keep walking. I am not that poor. I find a hundred and I look around to see if anyone is looking.
