Just head on over to ZeroHedge. That will suck all the investing optimism right out of you. ;^)
Yes. I will have to practice much patience.

While that is a popular point of view, there're many of us who can make a nice living by watching for short term market trading signals. It's controversial, they don't always work, but my personal experience and of a few others here is that there really are useful signals.
There are guys who make lots of money with short term trading.
It’s like poker. It’s a game of skill, and there are highly skilled players, and they do win everyone else’s money.
Investing? That it is not.
The US is the new hot spot for aerospace manufacturing
--and that's how gamblers, whores, and thieves view the markets when they want a quick kill. The way grown-ups see the market place is as a place where we create wealth to feed our families. If good people work hard, their hard work does not take other people's hard work away from them. In fact, a good place to get a lot of work done is where ever we see other people working hard. I've found that a bad place to get work done is where I find gamblers, whores, and thieves thinking that the wealth I created is somehow theirs.
Merchants create wealth when they provide the service of buying things at a low price and selling them later at a higher price. It's a necessary service that we all need and skilled merchants are richly rewarded for the wealth they create. This is true for the sale of used cars, of canned food, and it's also true for markets for shares of corporations. Something else that we need to understand is that unskilled merchants harm others when they foolishly buy junk at high prices and then go broke when they're forced to unload their wares below cost. They hurt others not only when they distort market prices but also when they either go on the dole, when they complain on forums like these about gamblers winning "everyone else's money", or when they attempt to illegally "take back" the wealth of others.
Hope it keeps up. Son is heading to college in the fall to major in aerospace engineering.
Happy we’re getting the Air Bus facility in Mobile!
Have a pretty decent presence with Boeing in Huntsville area but mainly NASA related.
You hit it right if you bought in Nov. Wish I had bought then!!!
Good luck to your son. I hope he prospers.
Thanks!
Interesting. I’m thinking California circa 1849, Oklahoma circa 1890 and now to the moon.
—and then Carter gives away Alaskan islands to Russia just like he paid Panama to take the Canal Zone. Ah well, give me a sec to quit my hyperventilating and we can just say that it’s wonderful how America leads humanity’s expansion.
whoa... morning already! Looking good tho, traders for both stock indexes and precious metals still like our new bases and are going forward steadily. We begin the trade week on Tuesday so we hear from Empire Manufacturing, NAHB Housing Market Index, and Net Long-Term TIC Flows.

Personal note: I hate when I think I'm buying organic vegetables and when I get home I discover they're just regular donuts...

Well good because "Work, is the curse of the drinking class..."
And so logically "Serious Work" is a serious curse of the Serious drinking class.
And as my wife will tell you I am a very serious fellow...
