  1. Of course you do. Futures dipping now because of Apple, but will create a great buying opportunity thanks to POTUS STRONGARMING the Fed, the PPT, and most importantly, his budget and treasury chiefs.

    Now if you think the Fed is done raising rates then its a different story.
    But do you really want to fight the Fed?

    It depends who the President is. Obama used taxpayer money to fund Solyndra and that was a total debacle.

    After Solyndra Loss, U.S. Energy Loan Program Turning A Profit

    In 2011, solar panel company Solyndra defaulted on a $535 million loan guaranteed by the Department of Energy. The agency had a few other high-profile bankruptcies, too — electric car company Fisker and solar company Abound among them. But now that loan program has started turning a profit.


    Overall, the agency has loaned $34.2 billion to a variety of businesses, under a program designed to speed up development of clean-energy technology. Companies have defaulted on $780 million of that — a loss rate of 2.28 percent. The agency also has collected $810 million in interest payments, putting the program $30 million in the black.

    So they lost 780 million to some loan recipients being out of business but received 810 million in interest on 34.2 billion which is still outstanding?

    In bizarro lefty world that is 30 million in the black.
     
  7. 810-780 =30?

    I don't know anything about this loan program, but I'm confused by your comment/.
     
  8. Fight the Fed or Fight the Federal Government. Fed will be cutting if economic growth turns negative.
