EDIT at da end again.... yes....& if u watched the addendum (Zeitgeist) at the end they gave rec's in what we could do....one of which was to boycot Citi, B of A & a few others....the one's of course who've been known ta continually screw us the most....cc fees, etc.
On the Obama comment...agreed....I believe he took the easy way out in seeking the advice from those who are supposed to know what they speak of....however we all know that these "Experts" come off as either they haven't a clue & or they have ulterior motives....I say both.
What Obama should have done is consult w/Main Street...NOT Wall St....after all, shouldn't any new policies that are to be put in place be there to help Main Street (NOT Wall St where the problems began) so it would stand to reason that any fixes should come from those who know just what sorta help they need.
Seems to me that any fixes that are being put in place are there to help the one's who got us all in this mess to begin with...& Obama appears to not have da kahoonas ta truly step outside da ol' perverbial box & do what is truly right on behalf of Joe D.'Plummer :0
In short....we're all screwed....Citi nationalized to the tune of 40%....count on that...maybe more...then B of A to follow....or maybe they'll force'em both ta merge a nationalize'em by at least 50-60%?
Who knows?.....but I think it's safe ta say whatever occurs....the public's best intrest is NOT in mind here....same as it ever was.
Wouldn't surprise me either ta see a few US runs on a few under the radar institutions while all this is being sorted out....one poorly timed Bonehead comment by some politician (Dodd) who knows sqaut about finance & how the mrkts operate is all it'll take.
On that note....I chickened out on one of my xau longs....took an early profit here @ 995.11...still have 1 more xau long runnin tho...will try & hold out w/that one til my 1004-05 call.
Still holdin a long aud/us that I've been doin battle w/this AM....& its' been winning all AM long...6463 is where I grabbed it...at this stage (under water by approx 27) I think I'll set my tp back to b/e & be happy if it hits.
Almost have the acct back to where I messed it all up ystrdy....sitten @ 131,789 w/ -1,952 open....the long xau & aud/us.
OK....time to go back & try ta raise a better society.....1 ankle biter @ a time ;)~
Cheers!!
Edit: Jester...on the UAE......
yes....I am facsinated by what our dependance on foreign petrol has done for thier infrastructure.....pivoting skyscrapers where the cars are parked INSIDE the condo units....thinken the units also have a coupla human flight jet packs in d'coat closet ta boot.
& now Emirates Air has non stop 777 service from SF to Dubai....13 hrs 'n 40 mins....for $1,350 each way....gotta say that's not too bad....tho I think the Burj is booked for this coming wknd :0
I gotta email today (a vid) showing all about the pivoting skyscraper....anyone wanna see it just reply w/an email addy ya dont mind usin here....I'll be happy ta share....it is truly incredible.
