Exactly. You need to understand a couple of things:
1. First of all, I do not want to entertain negativity on this Blog, so I can not allow most of your posts.
2. Your prying and aggressive nature does not complement you or your intelligence.
3. I will not be put on the defensive by your incorrect assumptions.
4. This Blog was/is simply a test site for my actual website which is not a political gully-wash, but was under construction at the time.
5. If you would like to have your posts allowed, perhaps you should rethink your approach.

Comment on Risk vs. Opportunity Cost by zoesexton

Oh, you’re back with a new email. Wonderful.
It’s already there, the Dow that is. It could be there tomorrow or the next day, it’s obvious.

But the point is really, why is it there and what to do about it. How can people protect themselves? It doesn’t matter whether you are a stock holder/investor or not, because it is reflecting the current economic environment. It is an indicator and what it is doing is pricing the new president into the market. Perhaps Americans made a bad choice? Hopefully not. The market reflects economic optimism and pessimism, and as a way is designed to emerge from these bad times, the market will reflect that as well.

You are a fool as I thought. You not only think 6 people will fit into a Prius, you think it’s an environmentally friendly car. You think a mini van is an SUV, and you fail to see that people use their vehicles for their jobs, or their businesses.
You think $250k is a lot of money and you think the government is smarter than you and can spend your money more effectively than you can. You also think you will see some benefit from demotivating people who start businesses by telling them how much of their hard-earned money they can keep. You truly are a fool, because your benefit will not be worth the money taken.
I look not only at what a person says, but even more at what they do and who they associate with, to understand their personality and intentions. You and many in America have been fooled in your desperation to get away from our current president (who is leaving office regardless of the mess he helped create with the rest of both parties in Washington).
Neither candidate is in a good position right now with the issues they face, and frankly I’m disappointed with the two choices we’ve ended up with–but that too was a political strategy. I’m neither republican nor democrat, and I’m certainly no fool.
With increased taxes on those who employ people there will be fewer jobs. Go back to your history and economics books and you will get a taste for the depression that may soon follow these actions in this environment. And kiss your kids’ job opportunities good-bye while you’re at it.
And please don’t write in here anymore. I can’t waste any more of my time with your small minded foolishness. If you think you really like socialism or worse, try living in Chile or France or any other country for that matter and then ask yourself why people from every country try to come here for work and life? Then ask those who have managed to come here if they will go back to their own country, and try to understand their answers when they say no. Look at their employment and innovations….I digress and I’ve got more important things to write that will benefit people’s lives and their families lives rather than have this. And BTW, the people who make the most money in this country pay less than 20% in taxes and the 95% number is false.
Remember this:
Money Goes Where it is Treated Well.

There are fuel efficient cars that could take ALL of you to places without taking all that excessive metal with you. SUV is no more than a symbol of control and self reassurance when one doesn’t has it inside. When you cannot find a parking spot that fits, you would then realize that your life is not in your hands but in the mercy of other SUV or larger verticals.

No, it wasn’t a bad idea at all. I’ve used it more than it’s worth with driving kids, moving furniture (do you have any idea of delivery or moving costs?), and picking up lumber etc for building my house. It paid for itself in the first year and half if I had to pay cash to someone else to do all of the things I used it for.
It pays for itself every time we go camping or anywhere where we’d have to take two cars (since you’d have to cut you mileage in half driving two cars).
I like to walk and I like to plan, so, yes, I drive it as little as possible. Personally I find it inefficient to make multiple trips back and forth to the grocery store every day or up to an area that’s 20 miles away for one thing then drive the same direction the next day for something else. I’d say it’s hard to judge others based on where you live since you have more public transit where you are.

The DOW simply measures a price-weighted average of 30 of the largest most widely held companies in the United States. It’s been criticized as not being a very good representation of what is actually going on in the market because of the weighting system.

No one said Obama has caused anything….he’s barely had an opportunity, but believe me he will. He’ll spend the first half of his presidency enacting restrictive legislation and trying to crawl out the mess made by the Bush crew. We will quickly go from recession to depression and rampant unemployment while he taxes those who employee people. Meanwhile sucking up all the money from the people and REDISTRIBUTING it! Which, btw, sounds good to people who don’t make any money and have no designs to do so, while it restricts the growth and development of new businesses. There are other ways to deal with the issues and the government collects plenty from the people–more than it should, and still can’t figure out how to manage effectively.
Bad economy means less taxes for the government, so they want to raise them further to keep up….it’s a bad cycle and one that will have only bad results.
