I have a long day Saturday and am going to bed.I will tell you one thing.They open businesses in the malls.They make no money.I know as I watch in 3 malls.Yet they drive new Nissan's~party all the time and act like they are millionaires..I have many true stories to share with you about the Israeli's/turks and india biz owners.America the beautiful.I was born in the wrong country.lol Bob :))
Benz,Where can I find a list of perks all these legal immigrants get when the come to the states?I know of many Russians that come here and are given green cards/benefits because of political unrest.I believe they call it political asylum.Then they open businesses with our money and drive new cars.Too funny.Bob
Yep,Big Chip.I have seen too many good smart small biz owners go down last 2 years in particular.We disagree on the reasons.I know I am correct.Either you back corporate or small biz.You also need to look at the immigration policies for both legal and illegal.Heres a start~(I wonder if you are not a immigrant taking the U.S.system for a ride)Federal Benefits Available to Unauthorized Immigrants
In general, unauthorized immigrants within the United States are not eligible for any federal public benefits, except:
Emergency medical treatment under Medicaid, if the individual otherwise meets the eligibility requirements and the medical condition is not related to an organ transplant procedure
Immunizations for immunizable diseases and testing for and treatment of symptoms of communicable diseases (does not include assistance from Medicaid)
Short-term, non-cash, in-kind emergency disaster relief
Programs, services, or assistance that deliver in-kind services at the community level, do not have conditions for assistance on the recipients’ income or resources, and are necessary for the protection of life and safety
Includes access to soup kitchens, crisis counseling and intervention, short-term shelter, mental health services, and child and adult protective services
To the extent that an immigrant was receiving assistance on 8/22/08, programs for housing, community development, or financial assistance administered by the HUD Secretary, which include:
Financial assistance in rural areas to farmers, owners, developers, and the elderly for loan insurance, the purchase of property, housing for trainees, and low rent housing for farm workers under title V of the Housing Act of 1949
Loans and grants for water access and waste treatment to alleviate health risks under Section 306C of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act
Free public education for grades K-12
Federally subsidized school lunch and school breakfast programs for individuals eligible for free public education under state or local law
At state option, medical coverage under SCHIP, including prenatal care and delivery services, for unborn children who meet other program eligibility criteria
Note: Exceptions 2 and 3 above only grant access to disaster relief and emergency assistance for the protection of life and safety, and do not extend to non-emergency aid based on each recipient’s need.
Unauthorized immigrants are eligible for the following nutrition assistance programs:
Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)
Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP)
Summer Food Service program
Special Milk program
Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP)
The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP)
Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR)
Note: States may, at their discretion, deny unauthorized immigrants’ access to the above programs, though none have done so as of 5/21/08.
Unauthorized immigrants also appear to be able to receive services provided by federally funded community health centers regardless of immigration status; however, migrant health center services are statutorily prohibited to unauthorized immigrants by Title IV of PRWORA.

Corporate no~Independent small business yes.You spelled it out without knowing it.Listen to yourself and don't throw independent retailers in with corporate as you did.See Ya,you have no clue based on your statements.Been a owner 15 yrs+and broker/retailer my whole life.Take the blinders off and listen to someone who knows.Bob :))
No,Not touchy,I know business owners and wholesalers personally all over the country.Many are having it tough and many are gone(both retail and wholesale).Next time you go to a mall.Notice the owners with kiosks and the foodcourt.Hotels/Gas stations and fast food chains.Their is a reason why minorities are starting to own everything.One word Tax breaks/tax free and easy loans from the government.Ask Benz.He gave me a list of the breaks they get.Its not a level playing field.To say can't compete is partially right.Not because us white owners aren't smart.Its because the playing field is not equal.Go do your homework and look around next time you get out of the house.
BS and you know nothing.I wont even waste my breath on you.I am still doing great.Take the blinders off.You get the most stupid statement of the year based on your answer to my post.Talk to any small biz owner.Wow
You are tooo funny.I love the cocoa beach area.Problem is not much op for biz.Years ago when the cape was booming the area was rich.Now a lot of trash(merritt island) and rednecks that think they are yuppies(Port St John).lol Bob :))
Hey Augusta,That would be a safe area to add/buy.The charts put in a bottom at 1.12 this week.Long termers good buy here.Traders above 1.30.I am here longer term as you are.Depends on ones trading style.Either way 2+ 1st q.I like all the developments fundamentally also.The Nov. 6 earnings are the wild card.May create a buying op or chasing situation for new investors.Have a great weekend.Bob:))
After my teens get out of school.The plan is already in place.Not sure where yet.I lived in Fla for 10 years.Its a wreck down thier also.I have a few years to decide.lol
Hey Benz,Whats up my friend?The pattern continues as the year is coming to an end soon.White small business owners going down left and right.Foreigners buying up everything and paying no taxes and getting the government loans.I see and know this as a fact in the NorthEast.Sad
I be watching.Bob :))
Watch Friday.1.12 looks like a solid bottom technically.The fundies are improving.Unless insiders have info we do not know about it is a good buy in this area.I say that about insiders because earnings are due Nov 6.Bob :))
Yea Glassy,I formed that opinion because I know the stock well this year.I just looked at the acls chart.Looks like 1.12 yeaterday was the bottom.Nice range to buy and hold a while now.Bob :))
Thanks,Its a takes a little patience stock since the .35-.50 level.We shall see.Bought a new computer today with windows 7.Mine blew up Monday.Lap Top constricted.lol Bob :))
Acls,Two higher lows last 2 days 1.12 and 1.15 today.Healthy pullback off 1.78 for future gains.Like I said before.Many in since .35-.50(expected profit taking).Standing by 2.00-3.00 Q1 2010.Ran a little to quick after it broke 1.00.Good entry down here.Bob :))
All the new Office bobble heads are out and selling out already at NBC.Bob :))
Boy,No Office fans on ihub?Amazing
Hey Langy,Acls bounced off the 32 and the 50 rsi today around 1.12.Closed 1.20's.Bottom may be in.I want to see one more day.Sticking by my 2.00-3.00 1st Q.Cant blame riders for taking profits since it ran from .35 to 1.78.Healthy pullback.Traded some and held a core from back in the early days.Fundies improving and Earnings due Nov 6 if I recall correctly.Bob :))
Whats up Scotch?I do like the pattern of events happening fundamentally.Here are my thoughts technically as we ride the 50rsi.Support levels are pretty condensed at .01(bottom bb)~.0125(200 dma)~Sar at .015 and the middle bolly at .02.Resistance break out levels look like this Top bb .03 then .035(chart read) and bluesky breakout at .05(minimal resistance).Looks Good.Bob :))
Acls getting close to add/buy price after the pullback off 1.78.Bob :))
PATS For me this week John.Another Blow out.Wanted to save my team for later.Not a lot of great selections this week.Have a great week.Bob :))Brady Rocks even with a recovering MCL.
Hey bama,Gonna be sweet one.Already is.Been in since .40-.60 range.The technicals back and fill on every run and then the stock continues higher.The fundies are improving also.I have made many a lot of $$$ on acls the last few months.Traders and investors with a longer term outlook.Still holding because I see no reason to sell.When it backs off it is keeping the charts looking pretty.Bob :))

Yea,Lots of the retail stocks and developers would have been better sitting tight and holding since we started watching them.They are still backing and filling with a upward bias.CBL/DDR/PEI/BONT/PSUN to mention a few.Bob :))
Thanks on Rz,Was scanning some charts and noticed it looked like a bottom may have been put in.Bob :)) Off to a meeting.

Hi Glassy,Just checking in.Their goes acls again.1.34+.12.I will add more on any decent pullbacks.Moved like a turtle from .40-1.00.Now its going easier.
Boy,You always have something going on with the older kids.As you know mine are the teen xxxxxxx age.My older daughter straightened her xxxx out and we bought her a car.Good girl from 6 months ago.A little tough love helped.I have lots going on for this xmas season.Many do not realize NBC only has their store in NYC for their merchandise.That is except for my two kiosks this year.The shipping bites off their website.I also nailed a Go games and toys deal with Barnes @ Noble along with a Calendar club deal.I have also gotten back into a deal with a friend on ebay with sports Items.Ebay is finally picking up after a nasty last two years.Lets say it will be a busy and profitable xmas for me.I will still be trading as I still have my 3 guys that rely on me.I sat them in acls last two months.They are very happy now.Bob :))
Hey Glass,Really happy the way acls doesn't get ahead of itself.I have been working with product selection with NBC for their only two kiosks out of NYC.The bobbleheads for the whole cast are rolling out now.When we get everything set(by nov.1)I will let you know what I think is cool.The office be coming to Texas.lol Bob :))
