Terry, The reason that the article gave for Texas as a target was that it was Bush's home state. They also said it had some "attractive targets." I assume the oil refineries would be among them, but they didn't say. I hate to say this, because it sounds macho and stupid. But I am middle aged. I've lived a storied life that probably can't get much better. I'm going to die some day, though I always hoped I would be smothered by Baywatch babes when I was at par. So, if they want to party, I'm ready to rumble and if I buy the ranch, I've done lousy real estate deals before. That's the way it goes.
I say this now, though I totally did not feel that way when I was in my teens and carrying an M-14. But, heck, I was a semi-virgin then (less than 20 girls. Shoot, they weren't even women yet. <g>) and I had some things to see and do. Now I'm a gun-toting old crank who thinks he has a chance at dropping a terror plane with a 10 mm pistol. Not likely, but neither were most of the winners at The Breeders Cup. I'm practicing on Cessnas and working my way up. Don't hitch a ride with a crop duster. <VBG>
Mom loves the races. She loves Pat Day, then Jerry Bailey, then Russell Baze, Pincay, Nakatani, Stevens and Solis. I tell her that the horse actually does the running, but her way of picking jockeys makes as much money as my way.
Actually, if it was 33% of Wall Street strategists who were bearish, I'd be a lot more confident. When I was a money manager, we had guys who were always bullish and others who were always bearish. And a large number who wouldn't understand the question and chose number 2 because they thought they'd get an eggroll with it. <g> |
