This board was way ahead of the crowd and that is where you have to be when you invest your money. Did I sell my US real estate in 2006. Yup. Did I invest in a country that did not make loans to people that could not possibly repay them? Yup. Did I get out of all my toxic stocks before the crash? Yup. Am I a lot smarter than people that got trapped? Nope. I just do not read or listen to talking heads for my information. That is the same reason we know all about pump boards and hype on message boards. The majority is always wrong and they voted Obama. The minority takes the money.
What most people in the Nation do know is that when Texas entered the union it is stipulated that if the State ever became dissatified they can leave the union. Texas was a Republic prior to joining the union and retained that privilege to get them to join. Also at that time Texas ran all the way to the Canadian border and we gave up all the land north of us for $10 mil to pay off all our debts. And we are sitting pretty good. But we are Republican from the Governors office to the court house in Bell county. God help us if the Democrats were in power. When our Governor Rick Perry stated with toung in cheek that we might leave the union he said so with good law behind him. Those on the news don't know Texas history and should do some research before they open their mouths.
