Quit cluttering the Trading section with these BS threads. Go to chit chat and let the real traders post serious stuff in this section.
This is by far the funniest thread I have seen on this board...and as for G2NKO or what ever...Get a clue....thier has been many directed toward you. comp
so, what, saying JJ is a crook is racist? Puh-leeze. Double standards aren't good things for traders to indulge in.
LOL! "who rang the opening bell" - Gets my vote for Worst Indicator Ever. This belongs in the trading forum??
You should hook up with GD2KNO, you two would make a nice pair but be sure to skip Florida and chase something outside the US... comp
I think the Rev. Jackson performs a very useful function. The "contributions" to his charitable foundation are public record and provide a good guide to the quality of corporate management. If you want to invest in a company run by cowardly weasels, then go for a big contributor. Today's Washington Times lists the following: AT &T $300,000 (!) Ameritech 15,000 Apple 10,000 Bank One 65,000 Bank of America 15,000 Black Entertainment Television 100,000 Burger King 100,000 Citigroup Foundation 250,000 Coca-Cola 50,000 Delta Air Lines 15,000 General Motors 50,000 Lockheed Martin 15,000 MetLife 150,000 NASCAR (???) 150,000 Sprint 50,000 Texaco 10,000 UPS Foundation 75,000 There are others such as unions and law firms. Also, the above are only money paid to his charitable arm. He has other operations that generate funds as well. I believe for example that American Expres is a big contributor. No doubt some exec's rationalize it as cheaper than lawsuits and bad publicity. The problem is that bullies like Jackson thrive on two things, legitimacy and success. These big companies give him both and make it harder for others to stand up to his coercion. All in all, short selling the above list would have been a good strategy. Indeed, the stupidity and venality of management seems somewaht proportional to the money paid.
INTC earnings and corporate reinvestment in development as well as reduced expectation of upcoming ([pipeline]) sales were not what the market wanted to hear. INTC spread to AMAT, KLAC, telephones, chips and other softare firms. Anyone could have rung the opening bell, what we are not holding liable are the failed economic policies, and lack there of as cause celebre'. Perhaps one should look to where responsibility actually does remain and not to those BOLD enough to speak out regarding more "theft of public trust" through deceptive tax policies. Remember, until you're personally cashing those $1,000,000 checks you're just like every other person. yeah, the rich are really different....
Agree fully. Molon Labe - If you feel so compelled, and can't hold back, save your racist, fascist views for the chit chat threads. These threads are to discuss trading and the markets.
I smell an indoctrinated Ayn Rand Objectivist. To most people a looter is one who steals during a riot. To an Objectivist a looter is anyone not an Objectivist. Not that I agree with Jackson's politics, mind you...
