Thanks for that commentary, and explaining to me the role Goldman Sachs is playing in all of this, it is just that Paulsen and Bernanke are both Goldman Sachs cronies, and was trying to provoke a discussion in that area, I understand at times I have violated some of Zeev's rules for the board, and it was not meant to be disrespectful to everyone who comes to this forum each day.
Even thou I have been active in the market for about 30 years, when it comes to some of the inner workings of finance I have been, and will always be a novice. An Education degree out of the Midwest, also I freely admit that I do lean to the left when it comes to most issues, but when it comes to everything else I am an American first, and my personel beliefs can also have many conservative tendencies.
I also know that there are many varied opinions that come to this board, and sometimes I enjoy provoking other people's views, in doing so I learn to appreciate another angle to any topic, and also become aware of other issues that could come into play.
The issues of the day can always influence the direction of the market, and stocks in particular, it could be the events of 9-11, or end of the quarter window dressing. This latest event, the discussion of bailouts has a direct bearing on the daily market movement. After the close on Friday, they raised margin requirements on gold contracts, well I am a holder of gold stocks over the weekend, will that hurt or help come Monday morning. Now with this bailout just about in place, and the number being 700 Billion, will that be a positive for this market, and markets around the world. That we will begin to see come Sunday night when Asia opens up, and futures begin to trade.
Everyone who comes to this forum brings some view of the market, my intention is to contiually be a student of this game, the stock market, so that I can profit from my trades.
Watching Tennesse get there butts kicked by Florida 20-0 at the half.
