ENOUGH ALREADY!!!! I have a legitimate question. The personal savings rate has fallen off a cliff in charts i have seen. Isn't this calculated as earned income minus spending? So if I spend all my earned income, sell a stock for a 200% gain and put this in a T-Bill, my savings rate is zero. Is this a realistic way to calculate savings?

Good evening, Jay...what a strong chi you bring to the thread. I jumped in with the refernce to IQ and FBI becasue I thought he was being nasty and you were simply being your witty analytical rapier self...I grin that someone, actually anyone, took my rematrks about his IQ seriously... He wouldn't even respond to me with an insulting PM. I admit he's now getting to be fun for me. He has his points as you have indicated but when he gets nasty or petulant or appears to throw tantrums then he is fair game for anyone at any turn. Enjoy your weekend, friendly spirit, grinning with me that anyone would even for a second think I'd know or have access to FBI or NSA files, much less care enough to look. Chugs&chugs&chugs to ya, jim black
