Thank you SI Dave!! Perfectly explained, for all who care. (Of course it's the ones who don't care who most need to read and understand what you said). I like political discussion if it's rational and respectful of the disputants (not the politicians), but many of us have limited time and are here to read about investments. Politics not rationally connected to investment decisions will always ruin investment boards, given time. EC's point is valid if you have time to sort posts, or can find some redemptive point of interest in just about any screed. If I ever get to that point I'll still prefer mining the stuff on politics boards.

Although your points are well taken, they are somewhat transparent. When the markets are closed, these boards drop to a low ebb. The "partisan" comments that you are referring to on this board, almost without exception, have occurred on weekends when they are pretty much the only thing folks were posting about. To believe that the market dynamic that we are observing is without a massive partisan politic component is naive. This administration, thru policy and incompetence, is responsible for the market behaviour that we are attempting to analyze, profit from and maybe even merely survive. Seems to me the weekend should be an acceptable time to talk about that elephant in our living room. The naysayers, of course, don't want to hear it, and in true Bush form, will do whatever possible to squelch or avoid hearing any criticism. That isn't partisan. That is the world we are in. We ignore it at our peril.
