Participant“The federal government seems to have noticed that a whole bunch of money, much of the almost $20 trillion currently held in retirement accounts in the US, is about to get moving as the baby boomers retire. They want a piece of the action and Dodd-Frank may offer the Feds a way to weasel into your 401k.”

Participant“Nothing terrifies investors or entrepreneurs as much as the concept of expropriation. When governments decide to expropriate legally obtained assets, entrepreneurs who worked tirelessly to build businesses and investors who risked scarce capital end up with little to nothing for their troubles.”

Yes, but several people’s retirements aren’t self-directed.. Furthermore, several people aren’t proactive in their management and believe in just the hold and wait strategy….
It will definitely be interesting…
XLP is not a bad holding for me for the past years as a crisis economy holding…[/quote]
Interesting as in have a long and interesting life…
Now maybe we will get real unemployment stats. What will be interesting is to watch Iran and Israel as well as Putin. That is even more interesting than watching stocks and bonds.It is almost time to make predictions, such as when will the Euro unravel and each nation returns to its own monetary system. My prediction, this is the 1930’s all over again with IT. As Europe returns to its pre-Euro economy, nationalism will be on the rise.
One bright spot for the U.S., is this:
“Companies also say one of the biggest obstacles to hiring is the “Code du Travail,” a 3,200-page labor rulebook that decrees everything from job classifications to leave for training to the ability to fire. Michelin has decided to build a plant in the U.S. for the first time in 35 years even though labor costs there are higher because of the business “environment and climate,” Senard said, complaining about the long-drawn process in France to lay off workers or modify contracts.”
Participant“Last night, it was revealed that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had ordered more security at the U.S. mission in Benghazi before it was attacked where four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens were murdered by Al-Qaeda, but President Obama denied the request. Klein also said that those same sources said that former President Bill Clinton has been “urging” his wife [Hillary] to release official State Department documents that prove she called for additional security at the compound in Libya, which would almost certainly result in President Obama losing the election.”

ParticipantWhat a genius! “GM continues to hemorrhage market share and controls just 17.7 percent of the auto market, a 90-year low. When GM made a public offering in November 2010, the share price was $33 a share. It’s now trading at around $25 a share. The federal government owns 500 million shares of GM, or about 32 percent of the company. The stock price would need to get to $53 a share to break even. At its current market price, the government is sitting on a $14.5 billion loss.”

Participant“The mother of an American diplomat killed during a terrorist raid on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi has hit out at Barack Obama for describing the attack as ‘not optimal’, saying: ‘My son is not very optimal – he is also very dead.'”
“During an interview shown on Comedy Central, Obama responded to a question about his administration’s confused communication after the assault by saying: ‘If four Americans get killed, it’s not optimal.'”
ParticipantExcellent point, so much for wordnetweb.princeton Perhaps the deaths on the Cole will also be labeled as workplace violence?
ParticipantI have been thrown out of bars for fighting, but I have never been ejected from a church or temple. Wow, Allan. That is a first!
Participant“It strains credulity that we were somehow surprised by these attacks, especially given the widespread access to up-to-the-second real-time feeds from either KH satellites or drones on station in the area.”
Not to mention it was 9-11, but I think people were starting to act like they just wanted to forget it and move on. This article was eerily prescient:
“The most important thing to remember on Sept. 11 is that the world is still a dangerous place. Evil exists, and the United States must recognize that fact and take the necessary steps to defeat it. Freedom’s adversaries are watching as American capabilities decline, as the defense budget is slashed, and as the White House stubbornly refuses to admit there is a problem. The anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks should remind Americans of the tragic consequences of disregarding threats until they grow too great to be ignored.:

a surprise attack involving the deliberate use of violence against civilians in the hope of attaining political or religious aims.
wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwnLooks like Aurora does not work. SK you know what he said and why and when he said it. I really have too much respect for you to continue this discussion or parse words. You believe in who you want and what he said and so will I. You will not change my opinion and I am also wasting my time with you on this discussion. Let us hope for a better year next year and for the continued health of our families. I prefer to look ahead and not be dragged down.
ParticipantI don’t know which is worse, his lying or his defenders lying for him.
“You cannot face what will happen, so you lie. You are afraid of the consequences for telling the truth, such as these:
* Your status may suffer
* You may be punished
* You will look stupid
* Someone will get angry
* You would have to admit you were wrong”.“Lies are told because one is afraid of the consequences* should one tell the truth.” — L. Ron Hubbard (*consequences = effects, results)

Good to know the new talking points have made the rounds.
