<<In NYC, most people are obsessed with the Nasdaq. I can't go anywhere without people asking me if it will ever bottom and recover.>> Not just there, out here in "hick-ville" every day someone speaks of the dire prices of soybeans or beef or coal or gold or or..., difference is these worries often come from the producers of these commodities & their concern about survival for another day. There are also far fewer people here which attempt depress the prices & values of technology & profit from the shorting of technology than in N.Y.C. who profit from the degradation & shorting of commodities. This is what bothered me most about the "best economy of all time" tripe out there in the media, 3/4 of this country never saw that good economy. We were forced to move into ever larger cities, burn Big-Macs, rent apartments because we couldn't buy overpriced homes on the low pay of slinging burgers. That or starve! If it really was "the best economy of all time" the rising tide would have raised all boats - or far more at least - & would have done so with-out manipulations & lies! Were the media not bought off, they would have been reporting the truth not the party line promoted by Clinton! OK, now that sounds like I'm a beading heart liberal whining against the "evil short bankers" & for producers which are simply so outdated they could not compete - FAR FROM IT! I only want all sides of the story spoken! I wanted a media willing to question , not so in love with the existing administration - either party - so that the truth is spoken. When a freeze & fires happen in Fl & TX & CA, the USDA should not put out numbers showing "NO SHORTAGE of OJ" & the shorts more in & slap down the price.
