  1. Last week the market took a fall b/c of the whole president bush authorizing a leak. And now all weekend you have everybody saying another huge shoe could fall, since the trial hasnt even started yet of libby. People are looking at this as the republicans losing the house and senate. And that all of these republicans problems have already jepordize the tax cuts, including dividend and cap gains. If another shoe falls, like scooter libby bringing out a signed document by president bush authorizing him to release plames name. How would the market react. Would the market react more in the case of the clinton scandals or more the nixon scandals?

    Oil prices at a $35-$40 level might have been/possibly would be helpful...

    War...and possible war in oil rich countries because of Bush policies have a premium effect...

  6. till that point we were all thinking cap gains, dividend, tax cuts, and etc were a done deal. But now they are in the borderline. We all thought 5 and done was it, and now we have people saying 6 to 6.5 for interest rates. and you have oil and gold creaping up. Not only that, you have gas at the pump rising now. If it turns out that bush did release valerie plames name, then its impeachment and criminal proceedings. Worse case scenerio this things just keeps on rolling forcing out the republicans from both houses. And it just jepordize, all of the tax cuts.

    Just from the title of the message, I knew it was from anti-US mahram.

    Why does anyone on this board feed this troll?

    Just look at his posts. They are all the same theme. Nothing to do with trading, everything to do with anti-U.S., anti-Bush agenda.

    I hope that Bush is not impeached because next in line Cheney is three times more fascist and neocon than Bush. Cheney and Rummy had a lot to do with Iraq war.
     
  9. You ain't seen nothing yet. Stay tuned for the Rumsfeld/Wolfowitz thermonuclear "solution" to the Iran conflict. Buy puts.
     
  10. Iraq was invaded why? Right, so bases could be built to further the agenda of controlling (they say bringing Democracy) the middle east.

    Well, from the looks of things is all they have accomplished so far is getting the whole area in an uproar. This catfight is not even warmed up yet. Surely things will get out of whack.

    What use is the Pentagon without war? "Misplaced military power", that is the agenda now.

    Power corrupts.......You all know the saying. Cheney had a vision of total Middle East takeover from the start. Boy king is just a puppet for Cheney as others are puppets for boy King.
