MM: I don't take politics as well as investing lightly or as a game of scoring personal points. I have no such ego right the right wingers on this thread do. On this thread, I have endeavored it to be a forum when we exchange our thoughts and opinions with a very open mind. I wouldn't jump and claim that " books are cooked". Instead I would look around for supporting data which would reinforce my opinion. From your posts, I have safely concluded that you do not understand investing to the depth that you portray. I gave you an insight on how I form my opinion. You did agree that it is different from the way you do. Did you know that two bellwethers, AMZN and Expedia announced their earnings today. AMZN fell to -23 and crept back up and closed where they closed at 4:00 pm. You may want to look at EXPE and with it what happened to PCLN (the best of breed in that sector). And make your predictions from what you see there. MM, don't be a slave. Cut yourself away from those bloggers. Temper your political prejudices with doses of your reasoning. When I set foot on this soil some 35 years ago, I came with one thought and that is: It is not a question of who but of what. It is not who is right but what is right.

These folks are not mere armchair folks like you and me. They represent the situation on the ground. I look to this sort of data before I form my opinions. I dont let blog sites form my opinions. I read them for entertainment just like I do when I watch FOX News.
