LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Losing the governors race here in 1980 so shattered a young Bill Clinton that he couldnt face his supporters, so he sent his wife around to thank campaign workers instead. He later gathered with close friends for dinner but quietly sulked, playing the country song I Dont Know Whether to Kill Myself or Go Bowling on the jukebox.
But his wife had a more pressing concern: money. The ousted governor needed a job, the family needed a place to live, and moving out of the governors mansion meant losing the help they had as they raised their 9-month-old daughter, Chelsea.
The morning after the election, Hillary Clinton worked the phones from the mansion, calling wealthy friends and asking for help.
...
Mr. Blair, the Clintons close friend, had made several million dollars in the commodities market, and urged Mrs. Clinton to begin trading, too. With an initial investment of just $1,000, she made nearly $100,000 trading cattle futures in a 10-month period, which helped pay for the down payment on the Midland Street home. But the move later haunted her when the investment became the subject of scrutiny in the early years of the Clinton presidency.
...
Even though she reaped big rewards on the commodities market, the experience was unnerving. Shortly after Chelsea was born, Mrs. Clinton told her broker she wanted out. I couldnt take the stress, she said at a campaign stop in June.

What rot!
What stress? Did she also invest money in other trades?
So over a 10 month period, Hillary’s biting her nails to watch her investment of $1000 going up and down then turned into $100,000? That kind of stress? and she couldn’t take it back then? While her man lounged around did nothing?
I smell bovine excrement.
From the excerpts, it sounds like Hillary did not start the cattle futures investment until after the election of 1980.
The cattle futures trading started in October 1978, two years earlier.
Her return was 100 to 1 in a short amount of time, a feat never before or since repeated in that market.
That is because the wins went to her account and the losses to her the Tyson guy’s account.
The Clintons crafted a story that they thought would be beluevable
Garsh, Mickey, I sure feel sympathy for Hillary. Poor young mom with no money coming in and a little bitty baby to feed...I’m feeling all teary now..
Replace Stress with Greed.
“Robbing banks would have been more respectable.”
True. But the Clintons covered bank robbery too, effectively robbing State-regulated S&L’s via forced loans the Clintons had no intention of repaying. (When regulators pressured the S&L’s to do something about the bad loans, Hillary would force another S&L to take it out, then they stiffed that S&L, ad nauseam).
Getting money by any means fair or foul seems to be a major obsession in Hillary’s life.
exactly... Tyson puts up $100k and Clinton puts up $1k ... Clinton wins ... Tyson loses... what is interesting is that Chealsey’s husband runs a fund that lost almost $1 billion dollars in a relatively short amount of time... it would be interesting to see those transactions...
I know we like to joke that jimmy carter loves o’dummy, because o’dummy replaced carter as the worst president ever, but I think carter still retains that title. Why? Because carter pardoned those rat filth draft dodgers which then meant that klinton, the king of rat filth, could now run for public office.
Has she held a corporate job I’m not aware of?
The money was bribes. They parked her accounts. Losses were given to other suckers and she got the gains... Just one of countless crimes the Clintons have been part of.
What a thoroughly dishonest article, a monstrosity of journalism, and therefore perfectly suitable to the NY Times.
No; that was when Hillary went on a trek with Sir Edmund
Hilary to the South Pole (for whom she is named - Sir
Edmund, not the South Pole). The Marine Corps came later
AND she did - briefly - join the Marine “Corpse” as
Hussein Obama calls it. She mustered out under the radar as
a 2nd Lieutenant before being sent to draw fire on the
tarmac from terrorists in Afghanistan or somewhere.
Then, she woke up and Bill, our future First Laddie, had
disappeared to some other bedroom in the night.
Psst, my mom didn't use a nanny, she used her mom after sperm donor left me, my brother and our mom...
Nannies -- for people who don't want to raise thier own kids...or change their diapers...
Bubba, our beloved rapist, was not under that general amnesty of draft dodgers. Remember, he ran for Congress in 1974 as the Dem nominee against the sole AR Republican Congressman at the time, J.P. Hammerschmidt. If he had been a Canadian runner, he could not have done so. He was elected as AR Attorney General with Carter in 1976.
