Pat- do you trust Stearns-Lehman-GM-Chyrsler-AIG-B.O.A.-CITI- Countrywide- Name a home builder- the list of untrustables extends around the world. Do you trust Putin? I do. I know he's up-tight and feeling fenced. Even a ground hog is dangerous in a corner.
The point, while you may not trust our gov., most of the world does indeed trust it. For instance, if a comet was hurtling toward this planet and we had 2 weeks to address the threat, who does the world turn to?
For the life of me, I cannot figure out how anybody cannot trust US- we the people- WE are the gov. and if you don't trust them, fine- the rest of the world does trust them.
The first 200 years are always the hardest!
Last thought: some 5-6 years, the float bloat went from 20M to 70M shares, 95% sold by dmrj, that's a fact jack and to say anything else is simply insanely dishonest.
Best of Better Luck to ALL IMSC LONGS!
