I was listening to public radio one day last week and a couple of pundits were discussing Gore. They were talking about his financial holdings. Of course he has his slum houses in Tenn. He also still owns the Occidential Petroleum stock his father got from Armand Hammer. Nearly all of his other financial holdings are in bonds. Of course, his holdings have greatly underperformed the market the last decade, as he watched the greatest bull market in history pass him by. Doh!, I forgot, he helped create it. Does it strike anyone else as strange that Gore has chosen to keep his money in bonds rather than let his blind trust invest in the best companies in America or anywhere else for that matter. What does it say about his future of America that he "doesn't invest in America" with his own money, like he likes to do with MY money. Does anyone else thing it a bit weird that he apparently thought Clinton's economic policies would be kinder to bond returns than to stock market returns. No wonder he thinks giving people an option of putting a small portion of their soc. sec. funds in the stock market is a "risky scheme". Now that's the kind of leader I want, with such great faith in America that he keeps his money under a freakin' mattress. Comments please. MB
