Well, read an article about how some are blaming clinton and his weak policy with China and the slow/stalled/halted progress toward any trade agreements. Read another article about how tons of hash and opium were burned in an islamic country because drugs are strictly forbidden according to islamic law. But, they did collect the taxes on it first. What am I trying to say? Who knows! Maybe it's just me, but all this hand wringing and debates about how important the economy is doing on a DAILY basis is too much. We're so obsessed with any little thing that may cause the market to tailspin, it's bizarre. Are we over analyzing everything to a point where we like the person who has to clean the dishes prior to placing them in the dishwasher? Look at what happened today with P&G. I woke to hear that it is halted due to some bad news. OK. (Halting a stock, what good is that? It is suppose to give people time to collect their heads, and all it does is dam the waters! I digress) All day long, all I heard was how P&G was doing, how P&G was effecting others, how P&G was doing, how P&G was effecting the market, how P&G was doing, how P&G would affect the future of the markets, how P&G was doing, how P&G would do tomorrow...Since when did P&G become so critical to the economy? Yes, it is important to thousands of people and their fixed incomes and retirement programs, but is it that important? If so, then how come so many institutions panicked? Think about it. Is it that bad, or are they using this as an excuse to move? Think about it. Are they trying to move you? Think about it. What am I trying to say? Think about it. I know I am. The economical shift/shaft is underway in full force. 'm lynch your pockets' is going for control again. Fear and chaos is going to chase the 'individual' investor into their clutches, and if they can't get you, they're going to get your stock. Either way, either one, they are going to get you. Between them and the govt., they'll get you. It's divide and conquer. Think about it. Am I being paranoid? Yes. Do I think they're out to get me? Yes. Didn't you know, every paranoid schitz thinks that way. Tomorrow when NASDAQ hits 5,500 and we stick a fork in the dow dinosaur, think about it. Of course, thinking is difficult with a hangover. Enjoy the night and try not to think about it. Q rocks, G* is an asteroid...
