Awwww poor bill. Got called out and got is panties twisted. Its hard to answer questions isn't bill. If you took as much effort to answer a question honestly instead altering quotes people might take you as less of a joke. Not much less because lets face it you are a big joke. No one laughs with you bill, they all laugh at your.
I'll try again for grins and giggles.
Why is it when the markets do good you don't post the numbers?

Did the Fed go too far? Wall Street loves the half-point rate cut as many believe it will keep the economy from slipping further. But some worry the Fed may have created more problems. http://money.cnn.com/2007/0...esreaction/index.htm
The fall of America's meanest law firm Schulman, a former name partner at Milberg Weiss, is expected to plead guilty to a single racketeering conspiracy charge and to assist the prosecution, according to lawyers in the case. http://money.cnn.com/magazi...13/8393127/index.htm
The first link..... MANY believe it will keep the economy from slipping further. SOME believe it won't. I'm not a smart guy on the nitty gritty ofd the economy. I'll side with the many experts on this.
Second link....... Ooooh! Hosing market corrections. Good time to buy! Bill, I'm selling my house. (Bought 8 years ago for $105,000.) I'm listing at $190,000. I'll probably consider anything over $170,000. The house could have sold for $225,000 two years ago. It's tax value is at $225,000 this year. As soon as I sell the house I'm buying in a market that is going through a market correction, too. The only real way I'm hurting in this market is that my house will be up for sale for 6-9 months instead of 6-9 weeks. It's the IDIOTS that bought a house 2 years ago for $225,000 with the thinking that they could afford it and the thinking that the price was going to continue to soar.
Third link....Pray tell me what that has to do with the economy???????????
The market numbers.............Bill, if you had $1000 in your pocket and you lost $6 today at the casino.......Are you going to lose sleep over it? Tomorrow, you won $6 at the casino and you walk out with $1006, are you going to celebrate about it? Two days from now, you go to the casino and lose another $6. You're back down to $1000 in your pocket. Are you losing sleep yet?
THAT'S WHAT YOUR .6% MARKET LOSSES ARE IN REALITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not arguing with them, Bill. I'm simply clearing out the sensationalism and play on words they use in their headlines and first paragraph to point out what the article really says. cnn.money.com is in the business to sell a story, not reality.
You...You have no argument to put forth, so you continue to post the links that you do.
Bill, I address YOU and YOUR posts because YOU seem to be the only one posting that doesn't get it. You post only doom and gloom posts that are very mildly doom and gloom. I suppose we could have posted the 300 point jump the stock market took a couple days ago.

RIght.. so keep on keepin on and play the tard if you like. I have no reply to your drivel as you have already stated clearly you are right and my posts are wrong.. Whatever... waste bandwidth, I dont care.
I can skip your posts too as long as you dont address me but if you do expect a reply from me.
I don't think I was complaining that you reply directly to my posts.
You're confusing me with yourself. YOU have been complaining every time someone address YOU and YOUR posts. The rest do not complain that they're posts are being directly addressed.

so - maybe perspective is the key. is our's bad - or is everyone else's better?
and, it also depends on what you needs are. if you need a home - which is most people largest output of cash - you are in luck - the economy is GREAT. just sucks for everything else. I'd expect fuel/energy costs is at the heart of most of this.
remember the crying people were doing back in the Clinton years? we cant find workers. customer service sucks - because no-one cares about their jobs. so, now we have people scrambling to keep their jobs - and customer service folk will drop to their knees & blow ya.
And you make child like statements.. the following is a perfect example of your mental age and puny ego.
Poor stupid bill. Do you even understand whats so funny about that?
By the way I just got my 3 mutual fund reports yesterday and all three are up, Have been steadily going up since 2001. You'd think with all the stories you post but don't understand and all the market closing numbers you selectively cherry pick I'd be broke.

Cisco System (csco) is down a couple of bucks, but up from $13 bucks when I got in, hehe. With Bush and Europe on the tube...Hold on ladies, its going to be a bumpy ride.
CSCO nearly $33 bucks! Go baby Go!!! LFC is on a roll @ 81 and change. Not bad if you purchase the stock @25 bucks and right before the 2-1 split in Aug @61 bucks. Buy on the dip and ride it upwards!

Actually there have been many very good posts in this thread. In fact a couple of thirteen pages of it. Not that any of the chicken little's will ever believe things are doing well. Just look at who the doom criers are and it becomes crystal clear, It's always the little guy who can't afford it getting screwed by,,, well,,,,the rest of us that are still doing well because we do instead of complain and read things before we sign and do not live beyond our means.
I agree, many good posts. Unfortunately, not TOO many good posts. You can make anything look bad if you argue it from the right angle. That is what I see going on here.
If I got my financial advice from some of the posters here, I would cash out and run screaming from the market. Of course, I listen to the right people for my advice, so there is no need to listen to those who cry wolf.
Want this economy to truely be in the dumps?...Make the investors feel half as negative as some of the uneducated people here and it will surely happen. Way too many uninformed opinions here

the economy is based on money and that money needs to circulate not just at the top but at the bottom.
This country is eating too much sweet money and is gaining way too much fat around the upper body and particularly in the area where the brain is housed and the legs are beginning to atrophy from a lack of free exercise.
Sure, an injection here and there will help... but it's not the solution when the body needs to work together as a whole instead of certin parts being neglected, taxed more and given less and less.
More banks could join the red-flag parade After warnings by Citi and UBS, JPMorgan and others could follow with bad news of their own, though retail banking could lessen the pain.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Stocks rallied Monday, with the Dow closing at an all-time high on bets that the big banks are starting to put the worst behind them - and on hopes that the Federal Reserve will continue cutting interest rates.
The Dow Jones industrial average (Charts) added nearly 192 points to end at an all-time high of 14,087.55. Earlier in the session, the Dow had hit 14,115.51, a new record intraday high. The previous intraday high was 14,021.95 from July 19.

When Fed ignorance isn't bliss The machinery for creating credit has gotten so complicated and powerful in recent years that not even the Fed may know what it's doing, writes bond expert Bill Gross in Fortune.
Oh and BTW. Had the fed not released a few Billion into the banking system AND lowered the ST lending rate you guys would be singing a different tune right now...

But they did, didn't they? So you're still singing the same (wrong) tune.
BTW, Bill, Who founded CNN? Who's still involved in it's management (although it's actually Time-Warner/AOL now)?
Ted Turner. If you've ever, ever watched CNN you know they are extremely left leaning, as much or more than Fox is right leaning. You don't suppose that maybe, just maybe, their articles on doom and gloom in the economy MIGHT be slanted a bit to help Democratic candidates, now do you?
Look at it another way, if I was posting the same type of stuff from Fox News, except showing the economy to be good, would you accept that at face value or would you claim that it could be at best slanted and at worst biased?
