"especially since the baby boomers are going to screw us over so badly, it isn't even funny." They'll break us.Totally.
I'm a baby boomer and yet I agree with you. The problem is that the baby boomers are organized and spend lobbying money thru the AARP to promote their interests. That being said; I don't agree with what is being done. I actively lobby my congressmen both state and federal to stop government waste and pork. If all that you do is bitch on this board; you have accomplished nothing. Get involved and participate!!

The trait of a good trader is the ability to change your mind at a moments notice and do an about face on your thesis. Each day is different, each month is different. So its good that you change your mind so often because you have to adapt to whats happening around you or lose your shirt.
