Thanks Martha, I captured that one for the day when porn is banned. That is my main worry re: Approaching Armageddon. I can do without freedom but I maybe can't survive without porn.

If that is the case why are you posting to antagonize and irritate others?

It does a pretty good job. He's the third I have added to my list. The other two pretty much faded away. Here's hoping I have similar success with number three.

How witty can it be when he uses "your" in place of the correct "you're"?
I suggest that we ask him whether it is a European or African swallow. It has worked on these types before.

ORRRR.... the 'gamblers' make sure that the price is more reasonable since they do not allow stuff to get way out of line...
Sure.. there is volatility... but if you are not one of those gamblers... the market will more than likely return to its mean over time...
So, gamblers for short term trading... investors for long... what are you

Don't you know... but the time he retires... the rest of the country will have woke up and have fixed the problems with the markets... they will now all be 'fair' and we will all be in la-la land....
I actually think you have more to worry about your SS than the markets in the long term... but that is just me...

Fixing SS is trivial compared to the ticking time bombs in Medicare and some state/local pension plans.

It is starting to feel like late 2008/early 2009 with all the last-hour selloffs. That isn't indicative of a market that wants to go higher, that's for sure. Something may turn it, but for now it's stuck in "uncertainty mode" which leads to selloffs on Fridays and in the last hour of daily trading.
Glad I lightened up over the last several months. Not much more than 50/50 now, which I can stomach in this environment.
