Making Money During The Obama Years? (Vanity)

Try the Clinton years too since he seems to be listening to Larry Summers, Reich and other 90’s financial types.

Try the Clinton years too

So you're saying that that Internets webs thing is a real money maker eh? :-)

I think Michelle needs her own line of Bling. Wanna be the CEO of the MOB (Michelle Order of Bling)?

That’s the right idea. The potential trading avenues are practically endless.

One thing that elections in New Zealand have taught me is that what a Politician *says* and what a Politician *does* are two different things.

So much of what Obama has said is truly naff that, if implemented it would surely not work. It was only said to get him into the White House. Sometime soon, after GWB is gone, we will find out what Obama *does*. That is where the moneymaking opportunities surely arise.

I predict the discussion will go something like this:

“The Finances are much worse than we thought: the previous Administration has left us with a REAL MESS. We aren’t going to be able to do what we’ve promised — at least not yet, thanks to GWB. So we are going to have to do X, Y and Z instead.”

It’s a time-honored rort, with the added advantage that someone else takes the blame.

Shave down the military? No way. Iran has already gotten mouthy, and Russia is flexing its muscle. Al Qaeda is about to demand its tribute from Obama. If anything he will spend up large. He will have no choice.

Oil? Obama will start drilling. Again, he has no choice. And he can blame Bush, so he will.

The Civilian Military thing is interesting. I think he will do that. And he will finance it how...?

THAT is where the money is to be made.

Stay clear of the Wob 2.0 companies. It’s Dotcomm 2.0 as far as I am concerned.

"Uhhbama" - LOL!

I like "Barfsack OKenyan" or "Barfsack Ocrumbo", also.

[misterrob]

I agree with the thought that we have to wait and see on some things. The inflation thing is set in stone though....

LOL

investing in abortion mills might prove to be very profitable. (sarc)

Real estate and tax shelters were good during the Carter years if I remember correctly.

Also, for everybody, government debt is likely going up and it’s already out of control. Eliminate personal debt to avoid being crushed by debt if you have no ability to hide your income.

[chuckles]

I was there in the Carter years. CASH!!!!!! talks. I drew 13.5% interest on CD’s backed by the FDIC. I also picked up some real estate for 50 cents on the dollar and became a slumlord. Almost any commodity was gold, stocks were crap. I screwed up though and bought a huge motor home and flushed a wad of money down my driveway. It really wasn't that bad, I guess, I just didn't use it enough for the cost. I sold it for more than I paid for it, but lost some interest I could have been making. I paid cash so, like I said, I could have drawn double digit interest on a CD’s for the time the beast sat in the drive. Everything was about repo’s back then. Your house, your car, almost anything with value was found repo’d in the paper. Why buy new? Ergo the stocks in these companies went down.

Trade in pesos, Canadian Dollars, Euros. If they track dollars, use a different currency.

People wandering the streets, with the authority of police to arrest and harm, without the constitutional or ACLU limits, to punish non-PC behavior.
If some previously unemployed deadbeats or previously convicted violent felons end up punishing real citizens for not recycling or criticizing the great leader, you will have real violence. Even some democrats would fight that.

Red and Black Fashion...'cause I don't think it will be brown shirts, white shirts, or blue shirts that O's huge band of merry men will be wearing. I think they will be dressed in the Africa/Anarchy power colors of red and black.

“The Finances are much worse than we thought: the previous Administration has left us with a REAL MESS. We aren’t going to be able to do what we’ve promised

That is EXACTLY what Clinton said after his election in 1992. The promised middle class tax cuts were suddenly off the table even before his inauguration.

[Red_Devil 232]

Wow! Red and Black are Africa/Anarchy colors?

[DieHard the Hunter]

> That is EXACTLY what Clinton said after his election in 1992. The promised middle class tax cuts were suddenly off the table even before his inauguration.

It is a CLASSIC Lefty strategy: Ken Georgetti pulled that stunt when the New Democratic Party (socialist) took over from Bill Vanderzalm/Grace McCarthy’s Social Credit (conservative) party in British Columbia late 1980’s/early 1990’s. It was an effective strategy.

Anarchy and Africa. Could be both, but not always.

Click here and scroll half way down The red-and-black flag is the symbol of the anarcho-syndicalist and anarcho-communist movements. Black is the traditional color of anarchism, and red is the traditional color of socialism. The red-and-black flag combines the two colors in equal parts, with a simple diagonal split.
