re: ["59 (now 121) RECOMMENDATIONS....A NEW SI RECORD"] In reality, I didn't write that post. Main Street did. And that's why I signed it from Main Street, because all I did was put down on paper what people were telling me. Those words came from Main Street's mouth, to my ears, and directly to the keyboard. No spin. No editing. No nothing. Just everyday people saying how they felt. All I did was boil down all the comments that I heard over the last week from everyone around me. Not from traders. Just everyday people. From friends and family, to people talking in line at the movies on Thursday, to the cocktail waitress at dinner on Friday, to the fans at the football game on Saturday, to the tree trimmer on Monday. This reaction to Wall Street & Washington has restored my confidence in this country. People are more aware than I gave them credit for. And they are pissed off! No body likes to be "bum rushed." I guess that was my word, for what they were feeling. Paulson and Bernanke came off like some sleazeball used car salesman telling you that if you don't buy this car today, right now, that it will be gone tomorrow... This is a once in a generation window of opportunity for the formation of a new third party. Not one that recycles existing extremists, but rather one that pulls legitimate candidates from both existing parties, and one that truly will be a party, by, of, and for the people of this country. I wish Pete Peterson would spend a little bit more of his fortune here, and get David Walker a little more face time on national television. He'd make a great Presidential candidate, as well as a very interesting Fed Chairman, or Treasury Secretary. I don't know if there is enough common ground between Ron Paul, Pete Peterson, Ross Perot, and T.Boone Pickens... but, that is the type of coalition, and bankroll that's needed to break the stranglehold that our present two-party system has on America.
