It’s time to: Run for the hills, and don’t look back.

Oh for the days of Bill Clinton and his PPT (Plunge Protection Team).

[Xenalyte]

Oh for those days indeed . . . because they were brought to us by Reaganomics! (Pull your head out, my friend.)

[Xenalyte]

Also, it's only time to run for the hills if you plan to retire tomorrow. If you're under 50, you have plenty of time. This is a buying opportunity the likes of which we haven't seen in two decades.

Some thought that GW was going to clean up gov & reduce the budget. Oh, were they fooled. And Bubba & the cellulite legged Senator still rule with the FBI files & the neudered Ashcroft. Do you want to invest in this corruption?

Looks like the fraudulent market of the 90's is still taking its toll. Those purportedly in the know say that Demron and Global Crossing aren't the only companies with cooked books and crooked bean counting. Now, nobody knows who to trust. Sure was great while it lasted though. Gave a certain grifting, lying, predating, do nothing positive ex-president some good press...

The Clinton economy was built at first on industrial production, which was a good thing.

Then came the Tulip Craze, which the Toons did nothing to reign in, as they benefited from it politically. Only in the Toon years could Dot Commers float isp's for websites that sold nothing and had no source of reliable income.

When the histories are written, the Clinton years will be ranked alongside the Roaring Twenties for sheer economic madness.

Be Seeing You,

A one-line vanity post, written by a man who promised to leave this forum if Bush won the election without winning California.

Breathtakingly audacious.

So much for the '80s being the decade of greed.

Old Chinese saying about the market,bylo,selhi. It is apparent that all the "experts" did not heed that warning.

Did someone say today that perhaps Merck would be the next one caught with "creative book keeping"??????

I just looked in the Landmark Plunge (it's just down the street from my apartment), and the stock market wasn't in there.

WJ Clinton, with the help of his buddies Alan, Robert, William and Janet, started this snowball rolling downhill back in 1999. And it seems that GW is too slow to comprehend the serious situation that exists. As a matter of fact, I have not seen Mr O'Niell's face for months. Damn shame when politicians are allowed to destroy the largest booming economy in the world. Soon, we will be throwing rocks like they do in third world countries........

It isn't bad news for everyone. I have a 15-20 year investment horizon, and the recent declines mean that my dollar cost averaging approach to investing allows me to buy at cheaper prices. The market will turn around over time(or if it doesn't, things will be so bad that my investments will be the least of my worries), thus the fact that the indexes are down allows me to get more bang for my buck.

I'm still buying, isn't everyone else?

[The Raven]

I still think Clinton left a time bomb in the economy.
