Re: "house Of Corruption?"

Are you selling off your stock or just realigning your risk?

A lil' cash is "prudent" don't ya think: BIG BOY? (Jus' as it was prudent to do the fire drill when yer boat had troubles on the bay with a storm approachin').

One never knows the depth n' breadth of things once a change occurs n' a new trend starts in the markets, (as seems to have happened here).


Ya need some cash ta take advantage of whatever happens.

Opportunities are ALWAYS significant when volitility happens, but ya need somethin' ta pay fer what ya choose ta buy when yer spittin' into the wind.

Risks are high, (not as high as mid July hind sight bein' 20-20 AS ALWAYS), n' that is when rewards are high! Great sport! Watch out fer levered up stuff, (as always: in times of stress). Systemic liquidity problems can be real scary.

Good Luck to ALL!!!! Money will be made n' lost. Hope yer "investment philosophy" is SOUND! JR

Re: "house Of Corruption?"

Fortunately, my investment philosophy still has a number of years left in it to weather this out. Even somebody who lost a lot in the twenties was ok if they could hold out till the forties!

A little cash is definately prudent. Obviously I have taken steps to reduce my risk and insulate myself from subprime credit!

On a side note, I think it is terrific that the EU is propping up the market via their reserve. They want to play in our market when it is up... let them pay when it is down!

Actually, it got back to par in the early 1950s: Rubber. Everyone needs "life boats" in their investment strategy. Time helps: as you say, but takin' advantage of things when they happen, not hidin' under the desk, will help ya prosper, (or survive), while things happen.

Beware of LEVERAGE, (borrowed money), regardless. If liquidity is truely fractured, (as it might be), ya wanna be in 'battleships' SOME of which me Bro mentioned. Hopefully all of yer 'investment philosophies' are not dependent on the use of large amounts of borrowed money. My $.02 Caution: ONLY ONE FUNCTIONAL BRAIN CELL!!! JR

Re: "house Of Corruption?"

You're spot on, of course! The only thing I have leveraged is the home I live in.

The market picked up a little from '33 to '38 and then remained volatile until the war. It took off after that.

As far as the current market, I am cautious but not yet a bear. It wasn't much more than a year ago that we saw a near thousand point drop and march was around 800 points. All the libs were celebrating in the streets and the communists were openly identifying themselves (now they're back to eating their granola in the closet and calling themselves liberals again) Granted, those were both smaller than the current correction, but we came back like gangbusters. We still have a lot of solid financial data and many companies are stuffed with cash.

As you mentioned, it is time to make some moves, and I think there are a lot of great opportunites out there.

I think if ya carefully look at the 37' bear market (within the Great bear market) you would find that FDR's economic policies, (by far the worst in American History), blew up in 37' n' crushed 'em faster and in percentage terms: worse then the initial hit in 29'. That's just from memory Rubber, (could be wrong, about the nastyness of the 37 market), not me cornclusions about FDR's economic policies!

I better hang a few more pest strips on my moniter, for some reason there's a lot of flys here. You people appear to fear the Dems it sounds like this is the problemaranoid
Paranoid personality disorder is characterized by a distrust of others and a constant suspicion that people around you have sinister motives. People with this disorder tend to have excessive trust in their own knowledge and abilities and usually avoid close relationships with others. They search for hidden meanings in everything and read hostile intentions into the actions of others. They are quick to challenge the loyalties of friends and loved ones and often appear cold and distant to others. They usually shift blame to others and tend to carry long grudges.

This fascination with Soros, more bizzaro sxxx. Has anybody noticed that Murkey always has to build a bogyman in all of his post? I wonder why that is, strange.

Yes, didn?t have a second thought about posting the lies from Swift Boat Vets, what hypocrisy. Here?s a link to the truth, don?t just skim thru it, but read the whole article, it gives both sides, then make up your mind which is the truth.

Thru digging up turds on this thread, just going to try to give some advice, if you truly believe the all of the BS that you put down JR, you had better get some help. I?ve seen people in VA hospitals here and in Manila that has this same bogyman complex. Most of the symptoms can be controlled with Meds. Respectfully DC

I was not picking any one person just the fact that there is at least a half of dozen posts about Dems all the times by the same people whining and moaning......it's getting old. It's suppose to be Dockside Chat not Bash........

Re: "house Of Corruption?"

Hey Mr Tree, I read the actual book n' reached me own cornclusion. Thanks fer the linc.

You say I posted "Swift Boats" stuff? Show me where.

As to meds, how about some of PW2s or Rolmops stash. That might make ol' Murky a Liberal. It sure has a powerfull effect on those two. JR

ps: BTW: since yer fancy charts spinnin' facts clearly showed they never have "paid down the debt", since 1932 jus' like ol' Murky said, can Murky's taxes stay the same n' you n' yer moderate Dem buds jus' voluntarily pay more taxes then, 'stead of forcin' Murky n' the rest who want smaller Government ta pay fer more LIBERAL CORNTROL? Jus' a thought: Mr. Tree.

Never said ya did. I was jus' impressed at yer skills Dr. Fr... I mean Blu Lunch.

just the fact that there is at least a half of dozen posts about Dems all the times by the same people whining and moaning......it's getting old.

Dim wit Dems n' Libs want more taxes to harm the economy so they can grow the Government. Simple observation: Blu Lunch. They seem ta hate the Cornstatution, so they want activist judges to add things to grow the government. That's all. What's wrong with me observations: Blu Lunch?

It's suppose to be Dockside Chat not Bash........

OK not bashin' jus' observin the facts n; truth thats all. How 'bout the ol' question: Is Liberalism a Mental Disorder? Hmmmmmm? Thanks fer the reply. JR

Willy, Please read me words not me simple mind. I've never met Mr. Rove, but I do respect and admire him, (Mr. Rove), as I do many smart n' sucessfull people, (heck: I feel that same way about Warren Buffet, a world class investor who is very hard Left). I luv Mr. Buffets' investment philosophy, but think his poiltics are as upside down as yers are. That said: I really do think fer meself Willy, I know that the fact that I only have one functional brain cell is a significant limitin' factor, but I really do reach me own cornclusions: Thank you very much.

BTW: ol' Murky is no victim: Willy. I've had me share of set backs in life like many have, n' as Bro Haut luvs ta point out: I do tend ta snivel n' whine from time to time, but ol' Murky is a "can do" type. I attack life with passion n' love life, my family, my Country, n' RR island too! I jus' don't like dim wit NEGATIVE, (hate America first) modern Dems n' Libs, (politically), I like 'em as people Willy. Bet I'd like you if we met!!

Everyone that isn't him or like him is an idiot,

I sometimes do get carried away, 'cause it is hard fer a feller with one brain cell to understand the merrits of dim wit Dems n' Libs positions. That said: I really don't mean ta insult as much as stimulate critical thinkin'. Please accept this simpleton's appology fer past insults, I ment them in jest.

a traitor,

Don't think I've ever said that about ANY iboats posters. If I did: I'm real sorry n' did not mean it, (the one brain cell is hard to corntrol when ol' Murky gets too excited). Current Dem leaders are traitors. Lil' Nancy goin' to Syria to undercut the Comander in Chief in a time of war is treason; Bagdad Jim McDermott goin' ta help Sadam is Treason. Harry Ried wantin' to arange our defeat n' give Islamo Facists a base in Bagdad fer political points at home is Treason. Call 'em as I see 'em: sorry if the truth hurts: Willy!

or an enemy.

The "enemies" within are dim wit Dem leaders. The dim wits that support 'em are jus' nappin, smokin' rope, or experts on homosexuality n' nothin' else, (at least that what a feller with only one brain cell can dream up as a possible explanation fer the cornduct that seems inexplicable). That is why Murky ponders the question I wish Blu Lunch would use his SUPERIOR mind readin' psycho babel skills to get to the bottom of the ol' question: IS LIBERALISM A MENTAL DISORDER?

See a professional, sir. Paranoia IS a mental disorder...a treatable one. (Dr. Blu Lunch's diagnosis obviously hit a nerve, eh.? )
Respectfully, WBW!

Nope, ol' Murky is jus' fine Thanks fer yer corncern!! Callin' spades: SPADES seems ta really upset Libs, (PW2 seems torqued when the truth comes out as well). Libs n' dim wit Dems always run on a platform to raise taxes. Higher taxes just force us to ship the results of our life's energy to a far away place to be used to grow GUBMINT n' cause more problems by disconnected politicians fetherin' their own nests, (bipartisan observation here: Willy). IT IS IRRATIONAL to do that!

Sorry the truth hurts. Ol' Murky is jus' a messinger not the problem: Liberalism, (the modern American perverted version of this great philosophy IS THE PROBLEM). Again the ol' nagin' question: Is Liberalism a Mental Disorder Mrs. Jones? Hmmmmmmmmm? Respectfully, JR

Re: "house Of Corruption?"

You see merky, traitors don't like to be called traitors. They get mad and attack your character. They may not be traitors, they may just be suffering from a mental disorder that causes them to vote for traitors? Who can say for sure? Either way, you make 'em think too hard about why it's OK to murder babies, force you to endorse homosexuality, and give away your hard earned money to crack heads on welfare and illegal immigrants... that makes em real mad and they start calling you names.

LOL, LOL. You make me spit me coffee on me keyboard nearly every day Rubber! Don't know as I would state it exactly as you jus' did, (very few can mix humor n' blunt talk as you do), but I would never argue with yer spot on point.

The Libs n' dim wit Dems hated the plain spoken Ronald Reagan. They hated his opptomism, his belief in America. President George Bush is not nearly as articulate as Ronald Reagan, but he is hated fer the exact same reasons as is Karl Rove.

I can see where some of the hard core Libs n' Dems would be uncomfortable with ol' Murky, (hope they don't hate me). Logic is irritating if yer positions are totally illogical. N' Lord knows the truth does hurt if yer a dim wit that supports dim wits. JR
