Goes to show...
some 'pirates' have too much time on their "HANDS" (hehehe)

Okay now let's get informative....

I am leaning towards MSO (Martha Stewart)since the news came out on the Walmart deal. Now I know I am a lil' late on this posting, but am I too late to consider buying the ex-con's stock?
I don't think so, since Walmart, McD's, and the YUM brands should do quite well given our economy.
Hell you can feed a family of 4 cheaper at McD's or at KFC than you can basically buy the ingredients for at the grocery store.
Why doesn't our Congress sense this?
Oh that's right...they are wealthy, wealthy, wealthy.
Do you really think that they actually drive those Ford Escapes as they say they do?
BS!
But hey WE are to blame for our Congressmen inactions because if you do not call or write to these guys the inaction will continue...come on, anyone likes the status quo if they can afford it, and these guys can !!!
So let's consider the stocks that everyone will be buying products from.
Walmart
McDonalds
YUM brands (KFC, Pepsi, Taco Hell, Pizza Slut)
Target
Nissan
Hyundai
+
let me also tell ya that my commodity friends are buying futures in Cocoa, Nat gas, Gold, Silver , and Crude, yes crude!
Drill drill drill is a great idea but we will not see any effects for at least 10 years (I know how fast this occurs since I am a gov't paid subcontractor) and to release 70M gallons of fuel from the reserve will offset the price at the pump by ~35 cents for a few weeks but this is only a temp solution. We are in a corner that we got ourselves into 20 years ago + it has not helped us that the Bush's and Cheney's ( & other Congressmen) have profited from this oil industry for decades (don't forget that Halliburton aids the oil producing countries even today)
So let's get smart and invest in company's and their products that the struggling American can afford. But always backup your ideas with charts and other intelligence gathering.
