Food for Thought



"A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government." - Thomas Jefferson.

Poll Results are In!

By a 57%-43% score, you the viewers decided the market will not rally past the first week of April. Have we seen our near term highs? I do believe so. The hope and hype trade was back on as Underdog..errr...Timothy Geithner came to save the day last Monday on his long anticipated announcement of allocating Tarp money and other measures to free up the credit markets. Why we did not sell the news, I have no fucking idea. Clearly it is not too late to short the tape. I would venture to guess most are expecting better than worst case news from most tech names and other sectors as well. I think they fade that news.

TAKE THE NEW FUCKING POLL, YOU LAZY ASS MUTS!! YOUR VOICE SHOULD BE HEARD!

Back and Bitter

I took a few days off--took the wife to Italy for her Birthday, but below the surface I was doing some investigative work. I really wanted to see with my own eyes...how it is in a socialist society. So I went wanting to see Firenze, Rome and visit as many cultural sights as possible but also wanting to observe the nuances and stark differences to how we do things in America.

It sucks and its scary as shit. The way I see it in under 100 words is this: Everyone works, and they work till they die. They have to cause everyone makes roughly the same amount of money and they spend every dime. There is no incentive to save as the Governments provide so much.

I saw women who had to be 75 sweeping stairs, cleaning up trash and doing all kinds of other fucked up shit Grandma's should not have to do. They were OLD ladies...i mean with wrinkles on their faces deeper than the Grand Canyon--get it?

I had HOT female cab drivers. What the fuck is up with that??? Oh...right, a job is a job is a job and as long as the government gives me so much...fuck it, I will drive a low end cab around and that will be my existence. Fucking Joke people, a fucking joke.

Then the night would come and the Muslims would show up selling all kinds of black market shit and chachkas(Yiddish for little pieces of shit toys generally). It was very interesting. Not one Italian offered to sell me a rose for my wife. Call it a good 50 Muslims did. Makes you think, huh?

My conclusion, socialism is NOT for me. Is it for you?

Moving on, the day I return, I see our President has FIRED the CEO of GM. Now don't get me wrong. I fucking hate incompetent management. I mean I fucking hate it. I hate it so much, I personally will get in the faces of CEO's and tell them point blank--you are fucking this up. You are over your head--this is what you need to do.

Wagner needed to go...but needed to go a year ago. My beef is that the CEO of GM now is the fucking President of the United States!!!!!! Moreover, the new CEO based on Pennsylvania Avenue in DC put his own guys on the ground in house at GM. That sure sounds like nationalization to me.....

Answer me this Bat Man--when was the last time the Federal Government made ANY proper and correct business decisions? Does DC really have a right to run a private company? I do not think so.

Who is to say the government will not tell you one day you have to go because they disagree with how you run your business? Seems impossible? Trust me...it is NOT.
