Dear JDN, I am a small investor and I pulled out some of my capital out of the stock market. I sold and diverted some money to the bonds and to Euro. I sold a large part of my SUNW stocks at 117 to 120, did a few trades, sold some calls, but pulled out. Before elections I bought a few share at 100 plus, but I like to wait! I can get approx. 11% of US dollar denominated bonds and Having said that, I still keep bulk of my investment in stocks! I rather stomach the rough ride and be invested when the better days come! Kind regards Yaacov

right, and why do they invest here instead of at home in their own countries? Because their govts collapse every 7 years, and ours has lasted 225 years- that's why! The weenies will come crawling back with their $$ next week when it is clear that we have a president, and we are not going to riot in the streets and destroy our own lands and factories and infrastructure like they would have!!

JDN- I just wanted to say how impressed I am at how quickly the conservative 'outsider' petitioned the Federal courts against the state of Florida. You? --- I'm wondering tonight if the time hasn't come for 'flex time' Presidents. Maybe a two weeks on, two weeks off thing. Even if it were strictly 8 hour shifts 24x7, the Whitehouse is certainly large enough. --- In the past in California, we've done something like this on a small scale. We always elect an opposite party Lieutenant Governor and when the Governor (like Jerry Brown) went out of town, the Lieutenant Governor (like Mike Curb) stepped into the Governor's roll until the Governor got back (which was often rather quickly). --- If we divided the Presidency into 'shifts', I think it'd reduce job stress and just generally make things more interesting. --- Imagine how quickly the middle-east BS would resolve itself with the Presidents doing a 'good cop/bad cop' thing on those mofos. -JCJ
