I'm glad to hear you respect Starboy too although maybe you didn't know that he's a boogie-woogie blues piano playing California coasty either. Hopefully that won't change your view of him.

And I happen to consider myself a proud somewhat left of center liberal Democrat. But I've been known to ride a horse and wear a 10gallon hat on rare occasions too. I hope that's not too confusing.

Did you know that some cowboys in Oregon actually surf, and that some surfers can actually ride horses? We're quite a talented group up here...on both sides of the Cascades. Who knows...it might have been a couple of hat-wearing, horse-riding liberals that saved you. Did you ask? Or just assume what they were based on their attire and mode of transport?

Do you suppose they assumed you were a Republican before they saved you? Good thing for you they didn't ask I guess.

Thank you for your kind words. I am refraining from the election comments simply because I see little that can be accomplished by whomever is elected when the market forces are in absolute turmoil.

Too many mistakes were made by too many people in every area of our, and other countries commerce, and the world and markets are going to react as vociferously and nastily as the comments which are inflaming attitudes and stances here on the board these days.

The market reactions domestically and globally are to me enough of a concern beyond belaboring political positions.

I do not see this bailout/rescue as being effective enough to turn back the tide of events which got us to this juncture.

It may end up being like throwing money in a black hole, or, could help and be a long term savior of the economy after the rough bumps ahead which are now inevitable.
