Scott, you said a week or so ago that you voted for Bush. Did you make any pro-Bush posts anywhere on SI?

Scott, These are Hedge Fund Managers, Portfolio Managers, Folks in the Venture Capital field, Corporate Securities Lawyers, Real Estate Investors, etc...Many of these folks are concerned that The United States is on the wrong track and believe its naive to think that another large tax cut and 'a surgical strike' on Iraq will improve the situation for all Americans. Hedge fund managers. portfolio managers think a large tax cut won't help the economy? Give me their names. I want to make sure I never put my money in their care. Clearly, whatever the government does, it can't help all Americans, can it? I don't think the cost of the war will be big enough to have positive or negative effects on US economy. Many of these folks are quite well off BUT they are selling large portions of their stocks, betting against the U.S. dollar, and investing in gold As one Rothschild said, "Buy on the cannons. Sell on the bells." Regarding the Toronto Star editorial. That paper never saw a dictator it didn't like or a Republican or Conservative it didn't despise. frank@thestarjustluuuvesfidel.com

Everyone is looking for somebody to blame - banks for risky loans, brokers for allowing excessive margins- crooked CEO's- Inadequate SEC actions - stock options Thats something every new President must face, getting blamed for everything that happens, even if it did not occur on his watch. Now, we return to Foreign Affairs. Sig
