Well, I watched my first prez debate this election year.
There was a clear loser in last night's debate: me.
Yawn. He he.

Ya know. I don't think McCain believes in half the shit he's saying or proposing. He is relying completely on the experience card. You've gotta have more than that, especially since the experience with him, um, ain't so great.

I think Obama has the election won. The positives of this:
  1. He's a relatively young guy... 47 years-old is a pretty good age. It's a heck of a lot better than 70-something.
  2. He must be smart... Harvard Law and all.
  3. He has charisma, so maybe he'll use that charisma as a positive when he's actually in power. I dislike his supporters and the media more than Obama.
  4. I believe in the American people and their choices. Was Nixon our last presidential gaffe? He beat Hubert Humphrey in 1968. I don't know.
So, enough of the "Barry" and my shenanigans.
Meet the new boss... "Barack".

The S&P 500 is below 1,000. The rest of the stock markets on the planet are worse.
I hope these links don't go away:
The message in the links above, from "pros" and financial advisers/planners, is almost universal: buy and hold.
Golly. I don't know about that.
Hey, maybe they're right. Maybe I'm wrong. I hope they're right.
It sure doesn't seem that way though.

Keep the positivity.
smile... yow, bill

PS - Re. the debate... at least someone sort of agrees with me: The worst debate ever
