Bad Day on Wall Street

[bsmooth]

There is something screwy and suspicious about the stock market being so very disconnected from unemployment and weak consumer spending

Funny how the same thing seems to be happening with oil prices too. Demand is down bot domestically and globally, and we have a glut of gasoline in this country, yet there always seems to be something coming up that drives up both oil and gas prices quickly, and keeps them up. It goes against the laws of supply and demand.

Because uninformed morons wrongly assumed he was going to ban everything, and as of yet has done not one thing to limit weapons or ammunition. Even if he gets re-elected, the chances that any major legislation makes it through the House and Senate is slim-to-none.

Well, the other night, he did state that he wanted to ban assault rifles, ie semi automatic rifles. I guess that I would counter that there uninformed morons wrongly assumed that Obama was going to pay their bills after he was elected. Like the POS in this video clip:

At $4 a gallon, jokes on her, ha ha ha. I think that I would rather be an uniformed moron that errs on the side of caution of what the government is going to take from me. Than be an uniformed moron depending on the government to put gas in my car. Oh the irony, when hope and change instantly transforms into hopeless and the same old shit the week after the election. 

Anyhow, what does any of that have to do with what we're talking about. It doesn't matter why it happened, all that matters is that it happened and that it will certainly happen again. So stock up on guns and ammo now boys and girls, they might not be affordable or maybe even available soon !!!

So in other words, we should not take the rise and fall of the stock market as an indication as to how well a President is doing his job.

Unless the stock market goes down 200 points in one day.  Then we should create threads like these to shout about how it's because of the guy currently sitting in the Oval Office.

You can judge how well the president is doing anyhow you like. Stock market, Bin Ladin, Fast and Furious, the Libyan debacle, the color of his skin, how many stars in the sky, etc etc. It don't matter.The stock market is being propped up by Helicopter Ben Bernanke and his QE tactics and businesses being in "panic" mode. Overall, people lost hugely on real estate, and net worth is still way down. And so is employment and economic growth.

Make no mistake, if something economically positive is going on, rest assured the press will attribute it to Obama. If something negative is going on, it will be chalked up to the Bush legacy. That is the scam. No one should be surprised at this point.

Cool story bro ??

Good for you girl. I have some myself. I have not tried to liquidate it (sell), but the word I have gotten from my S-I-L is the commission is very high. I would shop around and do some research.

Here in AZ. people still pan for gold in the mountain streams. Next time I am hiking and see a pan handler I will ask them where he sells and what he pays. 

Yeah...I have no idea how to go about selling. For now, I'm just sitting on them.

THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! To be President Romney has already said that Bernanke is history 5 minutes after he takes oath! Never thought I would miss Greenspan.

Of course.. other than the fact that presidents can't fire a federal reserve governor or the head of the board of governors.. he'd totally fire Bernake... except he can't .. so there's that.

Because like last time Obama was elected, guns and ammo went through the roof. With his comments the other night it will only be worse this time.

You mean the comment where he said he supports the second amendment?

And then turned around 30 seconds later and babbled about an assault rifle ban. Talk about an idiot talking out of both sides of his mouth. We already tried that ban between 94-04 and how did that work our ? I'll tell you, it failed miserably. So what's the point ? Seems that he was supporting a handgun ban in Chicago also. Obama's a gun grabber plain and simple.

Romney had an assault weapons ban in MA while governor. If you want a talking point you better find a better one.

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]

Okay, let me try.  We should vote for Rmoney because he will repeal Obamacare, leaving Mass the only state with comprehensive health care for its citizen.

(Hmm...maybe that isn't the best one.)

I can only believe that if our founding fathers had been able to look past their flintlock muskets and bowie knives to see some of the crazy weapons that future generations would create in an effort to kill more people with greater efficiency, they may have expanded that section a wee bit.

Obama's a gun grabber plain and simple.  

Yeah, give something extremely complicated a nice easy "fun to say and bounces off the tongue" label like gun grabber...there's a good way to get more of the simple-minded on board. When you get enough of the simple-minded together, don't forget to hand out torches and pitchforks...mobs love torches and pitchforks.

Aw hell, ditch the torches and pitchforks and just arm the idiots with machine guns and night vision goggles...

What does that have to do with the prices of firearms and ammo rising after Obama was elected last time or when it certainly will if he is elected this time ? See you're arguing a moot point, it has already happened with Obama after the last election. And since he actually came out and said what he said, it will surely happen again. Romney said he was in "not in favor of new pieces of legislation on guns and taking guns away or making certain guns illegal". Besides legislation like this should be left up to the states and not the federal idiots. That goes for health care too. So you see, as far as I am concerned there is no contradiction. The states should decide for themselves if these are the kinds of laws they want to pass for their citizens.

And it turned out to be simple minded people scared for nothing since Obama did not address guns in the sightest over four years.

None of that is anything but your pure conjecture. I could counter that the founding fathers fully intended for the citizens to have the exact same type of firearms as the government in order to prevent the tyranny of a corrupt government upon its citizens.

A genuine assault weapon, as opposed to a legal definition, is selective fire weapon, which means it's capable of firing in either an automatic or a semiautomatic mode depending on the position of a selector switch. These kinds of weapons are heavily regulated by the National Firearms Act of 1934 and are further regulated in some states. The term "assault weapon" is a made up political term that is meant to scare the public. Most of the so called "assault weapons" are nothing more than semi automatic rifles that look like their military counterparts, they are in no way selective fire. Shit, most semi automatic hunting rifles are of a higher caliber than the so called assault rifles. Nothing but silly propaganda bullshit.

So if the assault weapon ban was a failure the last time, what is the point doing it again ?

Who are the idiots ?
