tejek, <I do not wish to engage in politic discussion. Please do not think me rude if I do not respond to political topics, but I have to clip my toenails now and other important stuff.> <Well, that last statement says a lot about who you are. Clearly, there won't be any need to discuss the issue further.> Really, that last statement says a lot about who I am? I'm curious to learn what you can extrapolate from such a statement. What does that tell you about me? It does not tell you that I do not wish to engage in discussion with you, for I have done that before and would in the future. It asks that you not be offended by my request to not engage in political discussion, for I consider it a bigger waste of time than cutting toenails (which is something that must be done (unless you are Howard Hughes), while political discussion is not such a thing). Does one statement really tell you something about me greater then the context provided by hundreds of other posts by me? Maybe it is just frustration on my part, for my point is that Obama is supporting a man that will be the <top cop> or boss of the IRS. And that man clearly elected to not pay his taxes and Obama <absolutely will support him>. <A former IMF employee noted how they were advised about these taxes repeatedly and in writing and that the IMF was very proactive in getting tax compliance from its staff. They saw Geithner's excuse as lame and they found his claim of innocence "inconceivable." The IMF has confirmed the story about the written documentation that they gave out.> The source is a newsletter, which I cannot reprint here. The facts are not in dispute anyway. For me it is a matter of principle. And it matters not if Timmy was selected by President Elect Obama or President Elect McCain. I would have called it the same either way. It tells me that Obama is not much different, for he could fix this right now. As for the people barking for change, well I guess the thousands of calls and letters to stop the TARP were just <not enough>. <Some people are fairly cynical and believe their economic charts and numbers are all that determine the future. I don't agree.> Some people thought of as cynics are mislabeled realists perhaps. My position is that FA tells the future and TA only the short-term direction. For someone that can tell about me from a single statement in a single post, you must have missed the years and years of posts that absolutely state the FA trumps TA. I think perhaps your idea of grassroots is a bit different than mine. Good Trading TH
